About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

AlterEgos is a dynamic team of talented players united with one goal in mind: wowing each one of your guests at your next private event! AlterEgos draws on years of performance experience and a diverse catalogue ranging from Aretha to Zeppelin to custom tailor a setlist to suit your individual needs, giving you the power to create the optimal music experience for you and your guests. AlterEgos features two powerful and complex female vocalists, a multi-instrumentalist on guitar and keyboards and a rock-solid duo on bass and drums to perform your favorite hits. They also have a horn section on call to add that extra 'something special.' Citing pop, funk, top 40, disco and blues as major influences, AlterEgos stays true to a song's original form while exploiting the band's unique format to create a sound that's truly their own. AlterEgos is not simply a group of great musicians, they're also great entertainers! From their free-spirited dancing and gesturing in mid-song to their hilarious and witty stage banter between cuts, AlterEgos fosters a unique chemistry with its audience that's sure to get even the most die-hard wallflowers to hit the dance floor and wet blankets to laugh and sing along. Consider AlterEgos for your next private event. AlterEgos is the brainchild of its lead vocalists Sarah and Mel, who met in 2001 while singing in the house band for the Shadowbox Cabaret, a rock 'n roll theater in Cincinnati, Ohio. After both moving to Chicago to expand their artistic opportunities, they combed Chicago's music community for four hard-working players with enough muscle to complement their vocal skills and round out their diverse songbook. They found this in John, Tony, Johnny and Alan, who combine to form the pillar of AlterEgos'rhythm section and forge its melodies. Today, all six members contribute to the band's philosophy of bringing something fun, different and unexpected to your favorite songs.

Review by Heather J.

Graduation PartyReviewed on July 29, 2006From Chicago, IL

AlterEgos was an excellent choice for our party. They arrived early to set up, and chose the perfect songs for the tone of the party. Guests were dancing almost immediately, and everyone enjoyed themselves. AlterEgos enhanced the mood, and made our party more of a success than it would have been had they not been there. Aside from providing musical entertainment, AlterEgos also acted as emcee for the evening. It was a great relief to my husband and me to have someone skilled in entertaining people in charge of the public speaking. They definitely removed what would have been stressful for either one of us. I would absolutely hire AlterEgos in the future, and will recommend them to all my friends and family when they are contemplating hiring a band. Their fees are very reasonable, and we gave them a sizeable tip at the end. They went above and beyond what I had expected from a band.
