About

More than just a cliche' wedding band, Bull City Syndicate pushes the boundaries of their powerful sound even further for 2013. No other band from the Mid-Atlantic region is as versatile, without compromising the quality of the musical performance. From jazz to funk, soul to rock, country to beach, classic rock to the latest hits, Bull City Syndicate has exactly what you need for your event: diversity, flexibility, versatility, and professionalism.

Featuring both male and female lead vocalists, and the Bull City Horns on their front line, Bull City Syndicate has been building a loyal and ever-growing following for over 18 years - featured not only at the top area restaurants and clubs, but also statewide at music festivals, colleges, weddings, private and corporate parties, as well as many local and national charity events.

It will be worth your effort to see why Bull City Syndicate is one of the most in-demand and talented collection of musicians in the Mid-Atlantic region, and why their collective and individual resumes include appearances with Kool & The Gang, Eddie Money, Frankie Valli, Tone Loc, Mother's Finest, Trisha Yearwood, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Maceo Parker, and many more!

SPECIAL NOTE: Bull City Syndicate offers not only their renowned 9-piece powerhouse band, but also a smaller, 6-piece version (BCS Express) for smaller settings or events on a more limited budget. Additionally, BCS can ramp it up the other direction, as well, with a full front line of dancers, string section, and speciality entertainers to enhance the show for larger corporate and specialty events.

Bull City Syndicate can further enhance your event by offering a full set of jazz classics in a more intimate combo style, or with classic Big Band arrangements during your event's dinner/cocktail hour - or, you can hire the smaller jazz combo separately from the full band. These great musicians can also provide music for wedding ceremonies - from classical guitar to trumpet processionals!
