Tunes

Michael Benson Band
There is a reason these guys have been on Seattle Bride Magazine’s “Best of” list for the past five years. At one recent wedding, they went from a melodic jazz standard to a killer rendition of OutKast’s Hey Ya! to an ACDC cover (at the bride’s request.) All were executed with a ton of energy and not a hint of cheesiness. Check out their website to see their enormous list of songs.

Seattle Parties
There are few people more fabulous than DJ Leslie of Seattle Parties. Leslie is hilarious, quirky, ad one of the most musically-savvy people you will ever meet. If you are looking for a DJ that will have your guests chicken-dancing and doin’-the-macarena into the wee hours, Leslie is NOT your gal. Leslie is the DJ you can sit down with beforehand and say things like “I’m totally into Tom Waits, but BEFORE ‘Bone Machine’, I definitely want to hear a lot of Edith Piaf during our French-themed cocktail hour, and I’d love you to play everything from Neil Diamond’s ‘Hot August Night’ but only if people have had a good amount to drink.” In other words, Leslie understands those of us who are really picky (and maybe somewhat eclectic) when it comes to music. Plus, she emcees just enough to keep guests abreast of the evening’s highlights and keep the party going, but not so much that it’s obnoxious.
Leslie rocks.

Dudley Manlove Quartet

No matter what kind of music you like, this band is definitely going to get you singing along (well, maybe after the second drink). We’re not quite sure what Dudley or Manlove has to do with anything, but these guys will cover any song like you’ve never heard before. Guaranteed to get Grandma and youngsters of all kinds on the dance floor.
