Obviously, our repertoire list is so long, it won't fit on a web page. But we would be happy to share it with you if you provide a bit of information about the kind of event for which you are looking to hire live musicians. This would allow us to narrow the list down to those relevant to your needs.


Of course, we encourage you to consult with us if you have trouble making decisions about music selections. Again, go to the Contact page and fill out an inquiry form, and we will get right back to you.
