About

TOP TIER is live music at the highest level! We provide the best of both worlds—a fun, high-energy party band and a smooth, light jazz band all in one! So whether you just want a great dance band, or you also want some relaxing dinner/cocktail music before the party really heats up, look no further. Top Tier consists of top notch, experienced musicians with a passion for performing. Our band members have shared the stage with a diverse group of artists, such as Rick Springfield, The Cars, Craig Morgan, Tiffany, Ambrosia, and John Ford Coley. We've also written music with members of Sawyer Brown, Winger, and Steve Perry's band. Our music has been in major motion pictures, TV, advertising, and recorded by several artists.

Top Tier has a repertoire that spans 7 decades and encompasses many styles of music. Although we're skilled at reading the crowd and gearing our song selection accordingly, this is your event. So if you prefer the music selections to be heavy on the 70's, an overdose of 80's, or a heap of more modern material, just let us know when you book us and we'll gladly oblige. Of course we also take requests while we're performing. When we do give you a quote, it includes learning two songs of your choice free of charge (first dance, father/daughter, favorite song, etc), PA/lighting system, playing recorded music before we start and on our breaks, and us covering the Gigmasters booking fee. We will also gladly serve as Master of Ceremonies if you'd like.

Top Tier is a 5-piece band with 3 lead vocalists. We always give you the option of hiring us as a 6-piece band, with the addition of a fantastic sax player whom we work with regularly.

Top Tier has won the 2012 and 2013 Bride's Choice Award on WeddingWire and the Gigmasters 5 Star Performer Award! We're also the preferred live music vendor for Wedding 101!

**Here are some more testimonials from Top Tier wedding clients**

"We are from Ohio and when we were looking for a band for our daughter's wedding in Nashville, we were totally at a loss. So I hired Top Tier totally based on recommendations from other brides- and wow were they right! Top Tier far exceeded any expectations I could have possibly had. They had the crowd on the dance floor from the very first song until the very last! They came unto the floor and interacted with the crowd, and they were the nicest people you could ever have asked for. Their professionalism was over the top. I would hire them for another event without even thinking twice! They absolutely made the reception one people won't forget soon. I can't even tell you how many people came to us during and after the reception to tell us that this was the best band they had ever heard. If anyone is looking for a wonderful dance band for any event that is made up of the nicest people ever, don't even give it any other thought- just book Top Tier. We are so thankful we did!!! BTW, we paid extra to have the saxophone player, and very glad we did." -- Alina H. (Ironton, OH)

"Top Tier was amazing and exactly what we were looking for in a band for our wedding. My wife and I had met at an 80's cover band concert (popular band on the west coast) and it was important for us to have a band that could play that genre well. Top Tier did that and a whole lot more, playing jazz for the first hour and then playing everything from songs from the 70's to current country. We had asked them to learn a song, which they performed flawlessly, and were also great MC's for the evening. We were somewhat apprehensive hiring a band sight unseen (we live on the west coast and were having our wedding in Little Rock), but Top Tier blew away our expectations and we are so glad they were part of our big day. It was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding." --Tom P. (San Francisco, CA)

"This is the band! Professional, easy to communicate with, and most importantly a fantastic sound with a great song selection. Top Tier knew the songs to play and created a fun, happy, everybody dance mood! Everyone at the event remarked about what a great band they were. By the end of the evening, they had become part of our family of friends. They truly love what they do, and the result creates an atmosphere where everyone has a great time, gets up and dances, and becomes part of the celebration! Hiring them was the easiest part of the wedding plans, hire them and forget it because they are dependable and take care of business. Super people, super music, and great entertainers!" --Martha S. (Athens, AL)
