Turn your guests into the headliners
Our interactive show is a hybrid of a high-energy dance band and live band karaoke. Between dance sets, your team takes the mic and sings lead with the full band behind them, with HD lyric screens, QR code song requests and an emcee who keeps every singer in the spotlight.
It fits company holiday parties, client appreciation nights and conference receptions, and a PG song list is always available.

Houston corporate event band FAQs
Corporate events in Houston
What does a Houston corporate event band include?
Every booking includes the live band, an emcee, professional sound, stage lighting, an audio engineer and DJ music between sets, all coordinated with your run of show.
Can you work with our hotel’s in-house A/V?
Yes. We can arrive fully self-contained or tie into your house sound, screens and lighting. Our audio engineer coordinates inputs, the stage plot and the board feed with your A/V team ahead of time.
Are you insured?

Which Houston venues have you played for corporate events?
Bonanza Ranch in Crosby, Pitch 25, The Rustic, Discovery Green and Hotel ZaZa Houston, plus events in League City and on Lake Conroe.
Is travel extra for a Houston corporate event?
Travel is built into your proposal, so there are no surprise line items. Every proposal is custom to your date, venue, band size and program.
Can you play outdoor corporate events in Houston heat?
Yes. We plan shade, power and a weather call with your venue, and we’ve played outdoor events at Discovery Green in April three times.
Can you add an interactive element for our team?
Yes. Our interactive show blends live dance sets with live band karaoke, like our night at Pitch 25, so guests can sing lead with the band.
Do you play weddings in Houston too?
Yes. See our Houston wedding band page.
