Sound Connection ROCKED!

We used Sound Connection for our wedding and couldn’t be happier. The band was absolutely incredible. They had every guest up and dancing and showcased both range and versatility across an extensive set list. They did a FANTASTIC job learning our first dance song (That’s How Strong My Love Is by Otis Redding) and killed it the entire night. We received so many compliments and only wish our reception went longer so they could have played another hour or two. True professionals; WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Awesome experience with SoundConnection

SoundConnection was superb! Every wedding guest commented on how awesome they were. They were engaged and got our guests out of their seats and on the dance floor. The vocals were amazing, and the entire band was epic. We loved it when they got on the dance floor and right in the middle of the action. We highly recommend SoundConnection and they would be the first band we would use in any future event.

We danced all night!

We booked the band Sound Nation for our wedding in November based on a recommendation from my sister who had seen them perform a wedding in the past. I am SO glad we did! One of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! The dance floor was full throughout the night and I constantly had people approaching me about 'how good they are' or comments like 'these singers voices are amazing!'. Sound Nation was also very helpful to work with upfront. The band manager, Earle, connected with us in advance to discuss the timeline for our wedding and any details we wanted. We were able to specify songs we'd love to hear and those we'd prefer not to - and Sound Nation 100% stuck to this! They really and truly made our wedding, I can't say enough good things! I myself was dancing the whole night too (and the groom!), it was a blast... which is exactly how we wanted to remember our big day! Thank you for the memories!

Andy Kushner puts together great bands. If you are looking for a high energy group that really delivers call Andy. Rhythm 6 has played here several times. I know it is going to be a great party when they play!

I had the pleasure of working with Sound Connection this past week. They lived up to their reputation as one of the top bands in DC, and hugely exceeded my expectations. Working with their management before the event was easy. Their engineers arrived early and worked with me and the other vendors during the set up. The band members were all on time, and were the consummate professionals throughout the evening. But ultimately, the band just rocked it. They don't do cheesy karaoke covers, they take classic and current songs and make them their own. I would estimate that at least 80% of all guests in attendance were on the dance floor at all times. I barely saw the bride and her parents leave the dance floor at all. I would say that if you have the opportunity to book Sound Connection for your next event, do it and don't look back. You will be more than satisfied with the end result!
