Why is the band called What's Next?? Because we play to the crowd, and they can decide what happens next! Whether the crowd is ready to rock, go old school, get down with some country, or dance to the latest hits, we give them exactly what they want at just the right moment - It's like having a DJ and a band all at the same time! We do this by never using pre-determined set lists or pre-recorded tracking. We simply play the best party songs at the perfect time.

With a world-class rhythm section, stellar vocal harmony, and guitar work that is second to none, all songs are played by expert musicians without computers, gadgets, or other gimmicks. Additionally, What's Next specifically matches professional grade lighting and sound to each venue, and include FREE MC/DJ Services for all wedding packages. The bottom line is if you want to the throw the best party, hire us. It's that simple!

Easiest and best decision we made!

What's Next was one of the first calls I made after getting engaged. I had seen them play at another wedding, and had had such a blast. We've gone to see several of their shows around town and the band always has a great music selection, and always find a way to get the crowd up and dancing.
Working with them for our wedding was a breeze! They did some softer music for my ceremony, and did the reception music as well. They were so easy to talk to, and were very willing to learn my first dance song, and to help suggest ideas for the ceremony and father daughter dance.
My guests were all telling me how much fun the band was, and how great the music selection was. What's Next is so great at engaging with the crowd and creating a fun and lively reception sound. They come right out into the crowd, and even had some fun with the photobooth props!

Thank you guys so much for making my daughters wedding the absolute finest wedding we have ever attended. Just exceptional musicians with personality. They come out into the crowd which forms one big group of folks having fun, and I mean FUN. She have to be be crazy not to horse this band for any occasion. You will be blown away! They take no breaks and just go into one song after another. Their range of genres is bar none the best. Thanks again and we will be seeing you again.

ALL I WANTED AT OUR WEDDING WAS A BAND, and WHAT'S NEXT gave us that! They were reasonable enough to met our budgets needs, but were awesome enough to make people think you threw down some big money for them. They were amazing, and everyone at our wedding commented on them. They made a night we will never forget, a memorable wedding for our guest. - Erin Casho!

This band transformed our party from a good time into the best time. They played hits from all genres and eras. They even learned a few songs that were special to us. Everyone in the house was dancing. Even people I've never seen dance in my life.

They were extremely professional and easy to work with. You can tell that they love what they do. We loved everything about working with this band!

Scott and I are beyond thankful that What's Next was able to play at our wedding. Not only did What's Next learn new songs we requested, but they also put together a special request ZZ Top medley! ...which I have to say was the HIT of our wedding celebration!

On top of being part of What's Next, Maynard is such a professional when it comes to MC'ing a wedding; the entire day was seamless thanks to his help.
We couldn't have asked for a better day... thank you all ...Maynard, Mike, Matt, Adrian & Kristin!

We look forward to seeing you play again soon,
Carly & Scott

What's Next was amazing at our wedding. They were very energetic and kept the crowd engaged and entertained all night. They interacted with guests and had a large selection of music to choose from. They sounded amazing and I would not hesitate to book them again for any type of event in the future!

What’s Next was by far one of the biggest highlights of our wedding. They had nearly all 180 of our guests on the dance floor from the time they began playing, until past the time our reception was supposed to end. The amount of energy they brought was unbelievable. They even left the stage and came out into the crowd onto the dance floor for several songs. What’s Next played an incredible set list, including our favorites from Taylor Swift, Walk the Moon, Bruce Springsteen, Luke Bryan, Bruno Mars, and they even added a killer 80’s mash up into the mix. Our guests of all ages dance the night away. Maynard also did a great job of emceeing the reception.

Not only did they make our wedding a blast, but they were absolutely wonderful to work with leading up to the wedding. Maynard was very responsive, and it was great to meet with Michael a couple of months before the wedding to talk about songs we would like to hear at our wedding, run through the timeline, etc. They even learned an acoustic version of Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros for our first dance. It is a special song to us, and Kristin knocked it out of the park on vocals.

We honestly couldn’t say enough about how incredible the band was. We hope that in the future some of our friends consider booking them, so that we can enjoy another reception with them! What’s Next- thanks for everything you did to make our wedding a night to remember for both us and our guests!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
