DESCRIPTION:
Meet the Next is a Modern Classic Rock band whose live shows combine classic rock and dance songs spanning 5 decades. From The Beatles to Coldplay(& everything in between). Whether you are planning a Wedding Reception, Birthday Party, High School or College Party, Corporate Promotional Event, or looking for a band for a club bill, Meet the Next is the absolute best choice around. With our modern classic rock sound, we have a unique abililty to connect with audiences of all types and ages. Be sure to check out our new audio demo. This is a 7 song demo (each songs start time is noted) that has "Play That Funky Music" (0:00), "Jessie's Girl" (1:25),"Brick House" (2:11), "Smooth" (2:57), "Hard To Handle" (3:50), "Billie Jean" (4:34), and "Brown Eyed Girl" (5:55). Now here is the important info in regards to us and our demo and the demos from other bands you may check out. Ours is a live recording, and is not an augmented studio recording like many bands here use. What that means to you is "this is what we actually sound like live". The bands that use studio demos spend a lot of money on their demo to sound good and get hired by you, but that is NOT what they will sound like live. What you hear on our demo is absolutely what you will get when you hire us, only better, it will be live and we will do everything we can to make your event the very best it can be - guaranteed. In our live show we use video projector(s), and can customize a video for your event highlighting and fully incorporating the video into our performance for your special event. Contact us for video samples and more info on what we can do for you!!
Formed in August 2004, Meet the Next has played countless clubs, parties, concerts, and festivals. In May 2005, we released our self-titled debut CD. Since then, we have played as an opening act for The Wallflowers at Montgomery, AL's Jubilee CityFest, played the Coca-Cola Stage at Birmingham, AL's City Stages, and appeared on live TV on Birmingham's Fox 6 'Good Day, Alabama'. Known by everyone who has encountered us as 'the ultimate professionals', Meet the Next delivers the highest level of professionalism with each and every performance.
