The Spectrum Band is a professional nine-piece band that has been specializing in wedding receptions, corporate parties, and public events in the St. Louis, Missouri area for over 20 years. Their goal has always been to provide fun and professional musical entertainment to diverse audiences by presenting a wide variety of music with a combination of high quality sound, performance, and presentation. There are also three and four piece versions of the group available for smaller events.

The instrumentation of The Spectrum Band consists of female and male lead vocalists, guitar, bass, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, keyboards, and drums. They also use a harmonica, and Latin percussion instruments during their performances. Trio and quartet instrumental versions of the band are also available for smaller events. The instrumentation for the three piece group is piano, guitar, and saxophone and the instrumentation for the four piece group is piano, bass, saxophone, and drums. These groups are perfect for providing instrumental background music for any event and you'll be surprised at the diverse musical capabilities of either of these smaller groups. A vocalist can also be added to the smaller groups if desired. In addition to the experience that only years of performing can provide, they possess music theory & voice degrees and a new high quality sound system that can accommodate almost any facility. Standard attire is formal tuxedos or they can be as casual as you like.

It's always fun to see The Spectrum Band perform live and witness the professionalism that they bring to each social gathering. They invite you to come to one of their performances and see for yourself what a fantastic time your guests will have at your event. If this is not convenient, you can watch their videos on the web site or review their DVD featuring the band during a live performance. There are also testimonials from past clients included on this web site so that you can review the level of satisfaction typically experienced by individuals that have hired the band. It's difficult to give you an accurate impression of the true impact or scope of this band, their emceeing abilities, or show you how the band dresses and interfaces with the audience utilizing wireless microphones and guitars. They love to perform and have fun on stage which always has a contagious effect on their audiences. These things and many others are very important factors contributing to the success of your event.

Something that you might be interested in for your wedding if you're looking for a more elegant experience early in the evening is our duo. We also offer a duo during cocktails and/or dinner prior to the full band's performance. In addition to having solo piano, our bass player (Jay) has been performing with our pianist (Mary Ann) and it's an impressive performance by both musicians. They are each very skilled at all styles of jazz material and by adding the bass player, the pianist is really able to stretch out musically since she doesn't have to cover the bass parts with her left hand. The bass player brings his stand-up bass for this portion of the event and it's a very unique visual as well as acoustic effect on stage since most people don't get to see a stand-up bass very often. The sound is incredible and the musicianship is top notch (Jay is a member of the Webster University Jazz faculty).

Just a quick note about wedding receptions. This event requires unique skills such as introductions, emceeing, coordinating the throwing of the bouquet, addressing specific wishes of the bride and groom, coordinating with a photographer to satisfy their special needs, etc. The Spectrum Band has extensive experience in this area and can make any wedding reception the best it can possibly be. The variety of their comprehensive song list allows them to satisfy any audience. They have an extensive repertoire of songs with lyrics that are appropriate for all of the special dances, e.g., bride-groom first dance, father-daughter dance, etc. You can see a list of these special songs at the bottom of the "Complete Song List" page here on the web site. The Spectrum Band wants you to be happy and completely satisfied.
