Capital Sound

Capital Sound is a big band with an even bigger sound (five piece rhythm section with a four piece horn section). Based out of Columbus, OH the band enthusiastically plays some of the best funk, blues, soul, and rock and roll from the 50's through present day; some of it is in the classic style of the original recordings and some of it with an innovative twist all their own. The music of Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Stevie Ray Vaughan and many others are frequently heard at performances. Formed in January 2005, the band was instantly recognized as one of the most talented and entertaining bands in the area and was asked to open for such acts as REO Speedwagon, Ted Nugent, and The Roots within the first year of the band's inception. Always dynamic, funky, and entertaining, Capital Sound is guaranteed to make people of all ages get up and dance.

• Forget the flowers. Forget the dresses. Forget the meal. The band is what truly makes the wedding and Capital Sound is as good as it gets. The band's energy and charisma make it impossible not to get out of your seat and tap your feet. At ours, even the bride's 83 year old grandfather was cutting a rug. The groom sweated through 3 shirts. The bride wore her 3 inch heels down to 1 and, in the end, the band was called upon to deliver just “One more song!” In the aftermath, our guests told us that Capital Sound was the best wedding band they had ever heard. I agree. Two thumbs up and my highest recommendation. Hire them. You can thank me later. -- Melissa D, Hartville, OH, 7/25/2009
