The Exact Change Band
The Full Band
If you're looking for a band to liven up your wedding or other big event, consider hiring a nine-piece band. With a lineup that typically includes drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, horns, and multiple vocalists, a nine-piece band can create a rich and full sound that's perfect for getting people on the dance floor. They can play a wide range of music, from classic Motown and funk to modern pop hits, and can tailor their setlist to your specific preferences.
The Trio
For smaller events like cocktail parties or corporate events, The trio can be a great option. A typical trio consists of Paul, Tony Vergentti on vocals and guitar and a percussionist. This smaller group size can create a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere, while still providing plenty of musical energy. Trios are often well-suited to jazz and swing music, but can also play pop, rock, and other genres.
The Duo
If you're looking for a band to play in a small club or at a more intimate event , the duo might be just the thing. The duo consists of Paul and Tony Vergnetti, and can create a laid-back vibe. They can play a variety of music, from classic love songs to contemporary hits, and can adjust their volume to fit the space. The duo is also a great option if you're on a budget, as they require fewer musicians and equipment than larger bands.
