Its all about the sound. A great band with a terrible sound system sounds like a terrible band. A top quality audio experience is what a band is all about. San Diego Live Bands has taken great pains and spared no expense to create state-of-the-art sound for groups of 20 to 2,000! We bring Mackie CR-1604-VLZ and Allen and Heath Mixwizard 16 channel mixers, (2) Crown K-2 (2,500 watt stereo power amps), Klipsch and JBL speakers (up to 8 15-inch main speakers for larger jobs), and Klipsch 18" hi powered subwoofers bi-amped with active crossovers. The system delivers clean transparent and extremely accurate sound reproduction from small venues at low volume to large outdoor events at concert volume levels. A compact disk player maintains the musical ambiance during band breaks. A wireless microphone is available for announcements and Bill Shreeve will MC your event at no extra charge.

Stage Lighting: NOW AVAILABLE AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE!
Lighting System includes:
• 2,400 watts lighting power
• 16 different lighting scenes
• eight professional par cans with colored gels
• audio controlled or free run progressive chase
• fade or quick change to different scenes or to black out
• system requires only a single 20 amp circuit
• attractive professional appearance.

When the lights go down for dinning and dancing, even a live band loses most or all of its visual appeal without proper stage lighting. However, an exciting light show will create a deeper and more lasting impression of the musical experience for the audience. Professional stage lighting is affordable! Now Aire Play not only sounds great, it's visual presentation is significantly enhanced with professional stage lighting.

 


Each entertainment option includes some of the very finest musicians from San Diego. All band members are both excellent jazz musicians and top players of Pop, R&B, Rock and dance styles. The result is first-rate music for your event. All musicians are excellent music readers which allows for complex arrangements that sound like the original songs you know and love. You can rest assured that every effort has been made by all of the band's musicians to insure top quality music every time
.


Depending on the event, the band or the budget, there is a band size available to fit your needs. Instrumental jazz groups are available in sizes ranging from solo piano or guitar through five or more pieces. AIRE PLAY can deliver dance and pop hits with as few as 5 musicians or as many as 10 (with additional vocalists and horn section) depending on musical needs and budget. Thanks to a high level of musicianship in each band and a comprehensive book of material, all bands can be configured with any additional horn section and added vocalists, or reduced in size for smaller events.


Each entertainment option offers an extremely comprehensive book of material insuring that you will find the selections in our repertoire that you want to hear. Thanks to the high level of musicianship in the band, we can handle all the musical needs for your entire event--from soft, sophisticated dinner music, to a burning dance set, depending on the band you select for your event.

Depending on the band you select, all the great genres are represented. Contemporary Rock and Pop, Rock, Mowtown, Disco, Funk and R&B classics from the fifty's and sixty's and seventy's. Smooth swing and Latin standards from the 40's and 50's; hits from the big band era and traditional or "mainstream" jazz (Brubeck, Coltrane, Davis, Getz, Parker, etc.), to adult contemporary jazz (Kenny G., Pat Metheny, David Sanborn, Spyro Gyra, etc.)

Due to the high level of musicianship, many of the bands can crossover styles by playing a combination of contemporary pop and dance music and jazz standards. We can tailor a repertoire to fit your event.
