DESCRIPTION:
Locally, the Melodaires perform from Chicago to Milwaukee. We are also based in Phoenix from October to May, playing events in both locations during those months.We play a variety of musical styles ranging from Dixieland, big band swing, Latin, country, to light rock & roll,usually with an easy listening jazz flavor. We also perform humorous parodies which are popular in some venues. Songs from the 20's to the 70's are featured. These songs are considered as 'standards' written by this country's greatest composers such as George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Hoagy Charmichael, Duke Ellington, Rogers & Hammerstein. Henry Mancini, Irving Berlin, etc. Many people think of us as 'The little band with the big band sound'.
We frequently play very entertaining concerts for park districts, senior centers, private parties and retirement communities. We are also heavily engaged in country club dances, weddings, anniversaries, dance clubs, birthday parties and corporate functions. Our group varies in size from a duo up to ten pieces including a female or male vocalist, depending on your budget. We have produced five CDs todate.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
I hired the Melodaires to play for three hours during a luncheon. None of the guests would leave until the band was finished at 3pm.
The Melodaires made the party that my guests will be talking about for some time.

Melodaires performed for our group of 400 and everyone enjoyed the variety of their music. They were very accommodating and great to listen to.

My guests were extremely happy with my selection of the Melodaires and commented positively on their musical talent and selection.
The band members were friendly and accomodating as well.
I am EXTREMELY pleased with the Melodaires - I've even had friends ask where they play publicly so they can enjoy their music again!
Thank you Gigmaster and Thank you Melodaires!!!
Best wishes - Joan Lamb
