Performing throughout the northeast at weddings, corporate gatherings, private parties and everything in between, these seasoned professionals hit just the right note for your special event. The Classix play all the popular favorites plus a sophisticated selection of original tunes that leaves the crowd begging for more. These professional musicians travel with their own PA system and lighting - keeping your costs down. And they'll work with you if you're on a tight budget. For weddings, The Classix can also provide toned down music for your ceremony, cocktail hour or dinner with a pleasing blend of piano and guitar(optional) before filling the dance floor by the rockin' music of the full band. Our alphabetical songlist below helps you to find specific titles easily for your event and we will make custom set lists if you let us know what genre you would be interested in.

Feedback

  • Jim and the rest of the members of the band were very professional and very entertaining, they let my husband and his best friend play and sing on a song. The band was very good and friendly, guests of the party commented on just how good they sounded. I would hire them again if I had another party. -- Laura F, Matawan, NJ, 11/5/2005
  • The band was fabulous. They learned a special request song just for our event and it was perfect. They are all very talented and nice to work with. I loved that they came "dressed" to match our country theme. Would highly recommend! -- Lori S, Flemington, NJ, 9/24/2005
  • I thought the band was great! Everyone at the wedding loved them as the music was entertaining and great sounding. There was music for slow dancing and getting down. I would recommend them to another person in a second. They were very professional and accommodating as well. -- Kristy C, Millbrook, NY, 8/27/2005
