Note for Note

Our specialty is performing each song, note for note, same key, and tempo, creating a near perfect reproduction of the original recording. Your favorite songs, that you and your guests have enjoyed and danced to over the years, will sound exactly the way you love and remember them.

Non-Stop Music

In keeping with our complete “all inclusive” entertainment package, easy listening recorded music is played during the cocktail/dinner hours and pro DJ dance music during the breaks, making for a non-stop musical event.    

Same Members

The Connexion Band is comprised of committed band members who have performed weekly together, non-stop for years.

Lights and Sound

Our band is self-contained, meaning we provide our own stage lighting and sound  

Get Ready to Move

Be prepared for a packed dance floor. We pull out all the stops at every event and wedding reception and are happy to work with clients to plan custom music experiences, whether it’s special requests or first dance ideas.
