If you are getting married in the Hudson Valley you will want to hire the best of the Hudson Valley wedding bands. The good news is there are several excellent wedding bands in the area to choose from. The bands Skin Tight, Bills Toupee, The Beat Band, and The Young Phillies are just a few of the best.

Skin Tight
One of the finest Hudson Valley wedding bands is the band Skin Tight. A fun attribute of hiring Skin Tight to be your wedding band is that they will sing and perform song samples completely live without any perfectly premade demos to back them up. The members of this band have played with some legends in the music industry like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Blood Sweat & Tears, Mary J. Blige, Bruce Springsteen, and Gladys Knight. The bandleader, in fact, is the arranger for the house band and orchestra of American Idol. As you can see, if you choose Skin Tight, you will be hiring talent.

Bills Toupee
Bill Toupee has won the “best of “ title for The Knot and for Wedding Wire in 2010 and 2011. It also won the “Bride’s Choice Awards” in 2012. This group plays covers of dance music from the Black Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi, Madonna, Rihanna, Jessie’s Girl, Journey and more. The band features five vocalists who sound like the original artists of the music they perform. Because of their experience, this band will ensure a full dance floor and a fun night at your wedding.

The Beat Band
The Beat Band has also been voted the “best of” for The Knot, but for the past six years, not just for 2010 and 2011. Additionally, in 2012 the Wedding Wire called this band their “pick.” Magazines, like the Modern Bride Magazine, have written exceptional reviews of the band for the past ten years. There are six lead vocalists and several professional musicians who perform toe-tapping rhythms that will make any wedding party full of dancing and fun.

The Young Phillies
Out of the many Hudson Valley wedding bands The Young Phillies stand uniquely apart. The musicians are creative and young, offering singer-songwriter music that has a heavy East Coast feel to it. The five professional musicians play anything from classic rock to soul, from R&B to country, from folk to jazz. These musicians have played for Matthew Broderick, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and the New York Jests football team. As you can see, because of the incredible amount of talent in Hudson Valley, no matter which wedding band you go with, you are sure to choose excellent music for your special day.
