BOOK THE dogs
Tallahassee's Yellow Dog Jazz Band is available on a limited basis to play for private parties and events, as well as for commercial and public events in the Tallahassee/North Florida area.
Room or Stage Requirements: The Yellow Dog Jazz Band normally consists of eight musicians — five horn players and three rhythm players — depending on the event and the availability of band personnel. The group requires approximately a 10 ft. x 16 ft. area. This area should be separate from any dance floor if dancing is anticipated.
Sound Reinforcement/Electrical Requirements: While the Yellow Dog Jazz Band is not an electronically amplified performing group, the band does use a Master of Ceremonies/Announcer during its performances and requires a sound reinforcement system with at least one microphone. If a suitable sound system is not available at your chosen venue, the group will supply one suitable for most locations at no additional cost. An electrical source (120v, 15-20 amp) is required for both indoor and outdoor events. If your event is large, covering a large area, a more substantial sound reinforcement system may be required.
Performance Cost and Set Requirements: Normal performance length is either two 45-minute sets separated by a 15 minute break or three 45-minute sets separated by 15 minute breaks, as you wish. Single-set engagements are not preferred because of the time required for travel, set-up and pack out, but special arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis.
Set times may vary slightly from performance to performance depending on music selection. Forty-five minutes is required for both band setup and for pack out. Custom-length performances can be arranged.
