Country music is listened to by several generations

The popularity of country / new country music is undeniable! According to Luminate, the popularity of this musical genre is at a peak of popularity never seen before. Indeed, who has not heard of Morgan Wallen or Luke Combs in recent years?

And this popularity is not about to run out of steam: it continues to grow! Do you know of another style of music other than country that would, in Quebec, be appreciated by the vast majority of your guests present at the evening of your wedding celebration? Neither hip-hop, nor electronic music (EDM), nor Quebec folk music (in Quebec) or Acadian music (Maritimes) would be able to please and make almost all of your guests dance at your wedding.

The dynamism of a live artist performance

We all love listening to recorded music on a daily basis. Music without false notes from recordings that only highlight the best of your favorite artists. But is this reality?

No, it is not reality. To hear all that a good artist can deliver as a performance, we strongly believe that you have to see the latter perform live. It is only then that he can certainly make you dance to his greatest hits, but also to draw you into an atmosphere conducive to making you live experiences, emotions and memories that will be linked to these songs forever.

Wouldn't you like the guests at your wedding celebration evening to also leave with the impression of having lived an authentic experience where the artists were able to adapt the energy of the evening in order to engrave even more deeply in their memory the great key moments of this evening, your evening?

Country Cover Band Brings Authenticity to Your Wedding

Unlike listening to the original track of a song, the live interpretation and musical performance of that same song brings spontaneity and authenticity to your wedding celebration. Some more professional artists can be seen to be able to create a strong, even emotional, connection with the audience at your party: an essential ingredient to make key moments of your celebration even more original and memorable, such as your grand entrance, the first dance or the father-daughter dance.

Plus, what could be more authentic than a country atmosphere featuring real instruments such as the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, steel guitar, violin or harmonica.

A live country music band can create an authentic country atmosphere that matches your theme and preferences. The sound of live instruments, such as guitars, violins and drums, adds a real country atmosphere that is often missing from recorded music. This authenticity can make the experience more immersive and enjoyable for guests who love country music.

Real professional musicians know how to adapt to anything. For our part, Brand New Band has never had to refuse to perform in the places suggested by the people responsible for planning a wedding. We have already had the opportunity to host a wedding celebration where the members of the band were mounted on a flatbed trailer and our monitors were mounted on hay bales! It may seem innocuous said like that, but this arrangement screamed authenticity: it is an image that the wedding participants will certainly have in mind when they think of this celebration.

The country cover band knows how to play with the energy of your guests at your wedding

We often say that the pleasure of playing is heard, but it is even more visible! Having the luxury of real country musicians for your wedding celebration is a guarantee of success to raise the energy of your evening from the very beginning of your evening. So put in the sometimes awkward moment at the beginning of the evening when people are all hesitant to let loose: real professional musicians will know how to accelerate the momentum of your guests' engagement.

We certainly want to have fun, but we also have to know how to read the needs of the room (read the room!). A wedding celebration evening is rich in pleasure, but also in a host of more intense emotions (first dance, father-daughter dance, etc.). The musicians will know how to prepare your audience for these necessary changes in energy: a necessary know-how in order to make you fully enjoy these moments without stagnating the energy of your guests at this level for the rest of the evening!

In addition, seeing a guitarist in full solo or a musician working on his impressive steel guitar to the tunes of the greatest country hits of yesteryear and today brings visual entertainment that goes far beyond the simple soundtrack! A visual entertainment that only the live performance of any cover band can offer.

Personalization of the setlist before your party

Do you know what the bride and groom who contact us appreciate most about Brand New Band's presence for their wedding party? Our open-mindedness in personalizing the songs we will perform during the party (also called the "setlist").

It may happen that songs desired by the bride and groom are not included in the songs we usually perform. The preparation of a wedding party takes months (or even years in some cases!): which gives us time to learn songs exclusively for your needs and preferences!

Considering special requests from the bride and groom and guests

Taking into consideration special requests from the bride and groom and guests at your wedding party is a great tool that allows us to adapt the songs we will perform during the evening according to the tastes and preferences of your guests!

In addition, the fact that guests can request their favorite songs during the evening boosts their sense of spontaneity and involvement in the evening and they feel more engaged in the event that you share with them (presence on the dance floor, encourages interactions with other guests, sharing a meaningful song with the bride and groom, etc.).

In addition, the fact that the country cover band can accommodate special requests can pleasantly surprise guests whose tastes and preferences are not fully met by the music shared since the beginning of the evening. When Brand New Band was at a wedding party, we managed to perform several popular hits that even went beyond our usual country labels, including renditions of songs by Styx, Ed Sheeran and Miley Cyrus.

The flexibility of the service offer of the hired cover band

Hiring a cover band for the evening of your wedding celebration is one thing, but do you have other needs related to music and sound throughout your wedding day? A professional cover band can sometimes be offered all the adjacent services in order to take care of these tasks related to the technique and logistics as well as the use of sound for your wedding day in its entirety (microphone for the celebrant, background music during the reception or dinner, live interpretation of the bride and groom's entrance song during the ceremony, etc.).

Bonus: The presence and notoriety of a recognized artist from your region

Several country artists from Quebec and the Maritimes may seem inaccessible for your private events such as your wedding reception, but you would be surprised to see how some of them could prove to be very real options to liven up your wedding reception. It doesn't cost anything to try!

The presence of a recognized artist from your region is a guarantee of success given the notoriety and established know-how of these artists in your eyes, but can also generate additional enthusiasm for your wedding celebration evening because many are excited at the idea of ​​spending the evening with both the newlyweds and an artist they appreciate.

Conclusion

Having a country cover band perform at your wedding celebration party is a sure bet for success for all the reasons and benefits listed above.

However, it is up to the bride and groom (and grooms alone!) to determine whether or not having a country/new country cover band is a sure bet for success for their post-wedding party. The appreciation of country music itself can be affected by several factors that they need to consider: region, average age of guests, appreciation of live instrument performance, etc.
