1960s SOUL

These guys are not a traditional wedding band (thankfully!) but they did an incredible job. We got so many compliments on them! They played all of our requests and they even learned a few new songs for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better band.

At the wedding, despite the ungodly heat, the band delivered a stellar performance and never wavered. From the first song, ’til the last, people were dancing up a storm. Besides ourselves, our young nieces, college buddies, Aunts & Uncles, and 96 year old grandmother were all gettin’ down together to the amazing music YSH was pumping out. They are a truly talented bunch of individuals and one hell of a party band! Get out and see them or hire them if you can. People are STILL talking about our wedding band.

From start to finish, having York Street play our wedding was literally the best decision we made! Erik made the process easy and offered lots of helpful advice on scheduling out the evening. We had a few members do an instrumental selection for the ceremony and the entire band play throughout the ceremony. The band was worth every penny – I literally still have guests call and ask how they were and when/where to see them. From the minute they came on until the very end, the dancing never stopped. The newer lead singer is great and all members of the band are beyond talented and lovely people to work with. Book them NOW!!! You will be happy!

"Want to feel extra giddy and love-filled during your first few weeks of marriage? Book York Street Hustle to play your wedding. My new husband and I have been fielding “Your wedding was AMAAAAZING and SO FUN” comments for 3+ weeks now, and it’s not getting old.

Let’s start with the given: YSH’s repertoire transcends generations. I’d say at least 75% of our guests were on the dance floor at any given time the band played. Grandmas were groovin’, parents’ friends (Baby Boomers) were cutting a rug, our friends (30-somethings) rocked out, and the preteens/teens even left cell phones on the tables to dance for long stretches.

This is a testament to the music, absolutely. But even more, it’s a testament to this amazing band. Energetic, smiley, and ridiculously talented, we never once wondered if a musician might miss a note, botch a lyric, or phone it in. They were ON from the second they got started to the moment they wrapped. But – and I think this is important for weddings – not in a way that seemed like they were trying to upstage the event. I can’t quite explain how, but it felt clear to me that these lovely musicians were there to support our evening, rather than make it a “show” in the traditional sense.

York Street Hustle even agreed to learn a new song for us – James Brown’s “Try Me.” I will never forget the sound of them launching into it, strongly and perfectly, as we danced and our guests watched and cheered on. It was one of the highlights of our wedding day, for sure.

Manager Sean and the entire band were friendly and communicative throughout the booking process. They helped us come up with a music schedule that worked best for our 5-hour reception, and coordinated an on-site visit directly with the venue to double-check logistics beforehand (one less thing we had to coordinate!).

These lovely people play amazing music. Coming from a couple that was hesitant to splurge on a band: Do what you need to do to book York Street Hustle.
