About

The latest musical endeavor to spring from the House of Kingsized, Bogey and the Viceroy ply their trade with much derring-do, turning any gathering into a non-stop dance party!

Born in New Orleans and raised only blocks away from the legendary Fats Domino, bandleader Bogey Thornton has been entertaining audiences all over the map for the past 15 years with his signature brand of swanky soul. Bogey's sweet voice embodies the ease and sophistication of iconic 60's crooners like Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye.

The Viceroy band is comprised of Atlanta music scene veterans who perform regularly together at weddings, gala benefits and fundraisers, public concerts and corporate and private parties. We perform primarily in the Atlanta Metro area, but we travel outside of our home base several times a year for weddings, in the Southeast US and beyond.

For all wedding reception performances Bogey and the Viceroy provide the following:

  • Our 8-piece or our 7-piece band playing 2 to 3 sets of live music (number of sets and each set length dictated by your reception timeline) for up to 150-160 minutes of live music at a typical 4 hour reception. The band usually takes one or two breaks, depending on how many sets we are doing. The band consists of Bogey and Glynis on lead vocals, along with keys, guitar, bass, drums, saxophone and trumpet. The 7-piece band includes one horn, a saxophone, and has access to the same repertoire as the 8-piece. We play often with the 7-piece band (with saxophone) and it is suitable for all events.
  • Bandleader Bogey acting as your emcee, if desired, to make wedding party introductions and announcements throughout the reception.
  • For special dances (first dance, parents dances) we offer to learn two new songs, not in our current repertoire, at no additional cost. We ask for at least 30 days notice to chart the songs and rehearse them. If the couple or parents would rather dance to recorded songs by the original artists for special dances, we download the songs, edit them for length, and our sound man cues them up and fades them as needed.
  • We provide all recorded music to be played when the band is not performing, including for your cocktail hour if it's taking place in a room or area close to the reception area.
  • We provide the full PA sound system, stage lighting and a sound man for all wedding reception performances. A micrphone is always available for use by the wedding party for toasts, speeches, welcomes and announcements.
  • Band Manager acting as liaison with your venue and wedding professionals to help with your timeline and maximizing the amount of live music and dancing at the reception.

Best band - book now!

Bogey & the Viceroy were an absolute smash hit at our wedding. My husband and I had seen them twice before at local events and knew they were a great time, but our wedding was above and beyond our already high expectations. Everyone was out of their seats and dancing the whole time. The crowd asked for an ENCORE after they played their last song. So many of our guests raved about how much fun they had and how great the band was. Thank you for bringing the energy!!!

The BEST band for your wedding

We hired Bogey & the Viceroy for our Athens, GA wedding after we lost our original band due to Covid rescheduling. In hindsight, I cannot imagine any band doing a better job than Bogey. They brought so much energy to the party and guests were out on the dance floor the entire time. They have a great repertoire and played such crowd pleasers. I can't recommend them enough.

Very Professional

When I first heard Bogey and the Viceroy play, I knew I wanted them to play at my wedding. Cathy has been a pleasure to work with and extremely helpful. While our plans have changed due to COVID-19 and we’re no longer having the reception as planned, we’re looking forward to Bogey and the Viceroy playing for us in the future.

Bogey & The Viceroy Made our Wedding

Over the course of our first year of marriage, my wife and I have reflected on our wedding day many times. Family and friends remind us frequently how much fun it was – and we agree wholeheartedly that Bogey and the Viceroy were the difference makers. We’re forever indebted to Bogey and the team, and I’m thankful we were lucky enough to have them be the catalyst of the greatest party of my life.
There were many things that made our wedding day the most special of our lives, but there were two things that stick out more than any other: the people and the band. We couldn’t imagine our wedding day without Bogey and the Viceroy. They truly made the event the best of our lives, and we would recommend them to anyone and work with them again in a heartbeat.
Bogey and the team have incredible range and know how to read a crowd, which makes them the perfect band for any situation (Stevie Wonder, Hall & Oates, Otis Redding, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, & Aretha Franklin were some faves). In our case, they recognized our crowd was very high energy so they kept pace accordingly. It resulted in my wife, and me, and our guests not leaving the dance floor all night. If your crowd is more subdued, they’d be able to adjust accordingly as well.
They were very easy to work with and their band manager, Catherine, was incredibly professional. She was responsive, timely, and detailed. Catherine was super transparent so our reality was aligned with our expectations. We had the ability to check the band out prior to the wedding, and we had multiple phone calls discussing playlists, music preference, and theme. Personal time was taken to ensure we had exactly what we needed.
We’ve been a part of many weddings in Atlanta over the years, and we’ve witnessed a lot of great bands…but none compare to Bogey and the Viceroy.

This band played at our daughters wedding one week ago. They were amazing. The dance floor was big, and packed all night long. People commented that this was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding . They are Great musicians, great vocalists, and play the best dance music. Thank you Bogey and the Viceroy for making the wedding so wonderful.

If you want everyone on the dance floor then you'll love Bogey and the Viceroy! We hired them for my daughter's wedding and they were fabulous! Bogey could really read the guests and figure out what they wanted to hear. They really made the wedding fun. So much energy! We have been hearing many compliments about our band. They were fantastic!

This band is the BEST!!! We used them for our March 2016 wedding reception in Atlanta and let me tell you, they put on a SHOW! Bogey and the Viceroy plays the perfect balance of old and new and has incredible vocals and instrumental talent (feel like it's hard to find both in a band). These guys are a gem—can't tell you how many people told me our wedding was the best one they've ever been to—Bogey and the Viceroy played a crucial part in that by keeping the momentum going throughout our entire reception!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
