Description
The Hootchies are a professional 4 person band consisting of keyboards, bass, guitar, drums, saxophone, two lead vocals and one backup vocal. We have been playing together for 7 years and have performed countless weddings, corporate events and club gigs. We can perform both a quiet cocktail hour set of instrumental jazz as well as several hours of dance-able R&B, Rock, Soul and Funk from the 60's and 70's with a handful of contemporary tunes thrown in for good measure.
We own a first-rate sound system that is designed to sound full and clear at low volumes but has the power to crank it up when needed. It is complete with wireless mics that can be used for announcements, toasts, etc. We also provide music from an iPod for in between sets. We are more than happy to pre-load it with whatever songs you would like to hear.
