Having a dinner, dance, party, anniversary, fundraiser, or other event? Need a speaker, entertainment, concert? Looking for something unique, memorable?
Bob and Susan Jones ARE Your Music Solutions
Keep it simple…and affordable. Something unique, with a variety that no two other musicians can provide. Instead of a gaggle of musicians and acres of equipment, consider us: two musicians, from one to seven instruments, and a Bose sound system that just one person can carry. The rest of our “musicians” are on the prerecorded “backing tracks” that we play along with. Our library is huge and of the highest quality. You will hear us playing with accompanying combinations from one to one hundred. Some of our tracks were recorded by Susan herself, on piano.
Most of the time, clients want a variety of music that we all agree upon in advance. Sometimes, however, especially when the audience will be listening and watching, not eating or dancing, a themed program, with a little commentary, is the desired option. To that end, we have created themed-based audio-visual presentations and concerts with or without commentary. They make a nice series for senior independent and assisted living communities, libraries, social or interest clubs, or schools, for example.
For longer events, for which background or dance music is needed, we play from the Great American Songbook, unforgettable popular songs, classic rock, country music, Latin music, hits from the movies, light jazz, and other great sounds that don’t fall neatly into categories but that people like.
