About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

The Will McBride Group is a guitar/bass/percussion trio that creates their own fresh interpretations of cover material from jazz, rock, latin, pop, and funk superstars. Imagine a funkier Steely Dan, or a jazzier John Mayer, or a more-vocal Santana, or an edgier Stevie Wonder, you get the picture. The Will McBride Group is just as comfortable doing a standard dinner jazz set as they are doing a full-on rock show, or a dance party set. In fact they specialize in events that require dinner music early in the event, then ramp up the party later in the event. They have opened shows for: - ZZ Top, - Styx, - Eddie Money, - Leon Russell, - Gregg Allman, - Aaron Neville, - Toad the Wet Sprocket, - Sixpence None the Richer One of the most in-demand trios in central NC, The Will McBride Group formed in 2004 and has performed over 500 shows to date, including major concert venues throughout North Carolina, such as - Cary's Koka Booth Amphitheatre, - Durham's Performing Arts Center (DPAC), - Raleigh's Lincoln Theatre, - Raleigh's City Plaza, - Greensboro's Carolina Theatre, - Greensboro's Cone Denim Entertainment Center, - Charlotte's Neighborhood Theatre, - Charlotte's Chop Shop. If your budget dictates a smaller band, but you want a bigger sound with professional-level musicianship, you won't find a better fit than The Will McBride Group.

Review by Jocelyn S.

FundraiserReviewed on October 20, 2017From Pinehurst, NC

Everyone at the event really enjoyed the band. Great mix of music for all ages. Very professional and would book again for future events.

Will McBride Group:

Thanks so much for inviting us again after Hurricane Matthew washed us out on the first attempt. Your event was first-class all the way and it was an honor to participate in such a worthy cause.

Cocktail PartyReviewed on February 26, 2017From Wake Forest, NC

The band arrived almost two hours early; set up the equipment seamlessly; engaged with the guests. The guests loved them. They were soulful and upbeat. The sound was awesome in our home. They even played a song that I requested and did it well. Their repertoire was just what we were looking for. There are not enough accolades we can use to describe the wonderful experience we had with the group. We would enthusiastically recommend them and look forward to a future event.

Will McBride Group:

Thanks Valerie for allowing us to bring music to your house party. It is not one we will forget! So much fun and we enjoyed all the dancers.
