The Ultimate Wedding Playlist: A Country/New Country Cover Band for Your Wedding Party

We have all had the experience of a wedding in the 90s where a local band was hired by the bride and groom to entertain their celebration evening following their religious or civil wedding ceremony: soundtracks that don’t sound very good, setlist of cheesy/outdated songs, low-end sound system, questionable jokes and so on!

Although this type of singer or band still exists today (be careful!), several professional musicians from the country scene in Quebec and the Maritime provinces (our Acadian friends!) are more accessible than you might think!

There are several reasons why you should have the presence of a country/new country cover band as your ultimate secret weapon for an unforgettable wedding evening. Whether it's the popularity of country music among multiple distinct generations present at your wedding party or to benefit from the dynamism of a live performance by artists: you have no shortage of advantages to justify the presence of a country cover band at your wedding celebration party.

Popularity of country / new country music in Quebec

The general popularity of country / new country music has been undeniable for several years, especially in North America. And this popularity continues to grow!

According to Luminate, the popularity of this musical genre is at a peak of popularity never seen before. For information, the popularity of country / new country music, in the United States alone, increased by 23.7% in 2023!

Indeed, who has not heard of Morgan Wallen or Luke Combs in recent years? Even those who are interested in other musical genres have seen their favorite artists such as Post Malone or Beyoncé interfere in "new country".

Country versus new country

We've known about country for a long time. But this country music is a classic country that older people like, but can sometimes seem more "kitsch" to younger people.

The rise in popularity of country music among younger people with artists such as Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Cole Swindell and several other new country artists in recent years is undeniable. A more popular, more current sound than many classic country songs that we were used to hearing before.

The two go hand in hand. With a perfect mix of country and new country in your wedding party setlist, you will be able to meet the preferences and expectations of a vast majority of your guests at your festive evening.

Nothing will ever stop us from filling the dance floor with Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" after Morgan Wallen's latest release. 😉
