About this vendor
Hi! We are a very versatile band. We can be as small as 3 pieces or as large as 6 with a horn section. Our songlist is almost 500 selections and covers 5 decades and almost all styles. It's crucial to be able to play music from all styles and for all generations. We cover everything from The Beatles to Bruno Mars. Patsy Cline to Duo Lipa. We are based on Cape Cod and specialize in weddings and Beach parties. We have a ton of experience and are very professional. We play Country, RnB, Top 40, Dance, Rock, Oldies, Motown and Reggae. Everyone in the band sings lead so our vocals are one of the things that people comment on. We are a lot of fun will and we make you and your guests dance a lot.
Weddings are our favorite thing to do. People dress their best, and come ready to celebrate and we're always ready to help that happen! We feel extremely blessed to be able to make a living doing what we love to do and I think it shows up when we have the opportunity to fire a room up. My number one priority is my clients satisfaction and we don't mind working hard to make that happen. The band can pull off almost 500 songs and I bring my DJ gear with me for breaks. We make it very hard for people to leave the dance floor. And we try to get everyone involved. If you have us and a good caterer, you'll have a great party!

Jack and his team were absolutely amazing! My guests loved their music and they kept the party going all night. It was so fun working with them. From our initial conversation to the days before the wedding, Jack took the time to understand our vision for the night and focused on our details. We had the best time and they made the night so memorable. I highly recommend this band!
Working with Jack and the Accent Band (trio) was a great experience for our wedding! We booked really early on with them and my parents got to see them a few times live before the big day. The week of the wedding we communicated with Jack a lot about our song choices and timeline to ensure that we were on the same page. Our wedding started at 1130, and we have never been to a daytime wedding ourselves, so we weren’t sure how the vibe would be or if people would want to dance. As soon as the reception started we got so many compliments on the band and people were dancing all afternoon!! We said we wanted beach party vibes and they totally delivered and had people up and dancing. Anytime they had a break they also DJed music, so there was never a break in entertainment. They also did the music for our ceremony on the beach and emceed the entire event. Thank you Accent Band!!
We hired Jack and the Accent Band for our wedding on 9/20/24. We had seen them play here & there last winter/spring and thought what a great fit. We also knew we wanted a band, ta da! Jack was very easy to work with from beginning to end! He was so helpful the week of our wedding and especially the evening of!! Everything flowed so perfectly, their three piece sounded amazing at our venue you wouldn’t have even known it was raining sideways lol
Jack and the Accent Band are absolutely incredible. My husband and I have hired them for all of our summer parties and most recently our wedding! They play all the hits and know how to read the crowd which is really important when selecting a band. They keep everybody on the dance floor, what more could you want?!
We had our wedding reception at the Wychmere on June 9th, 2024. We wanted a band that would provide the most memorable experience for our family and friends, and Accent Band did not disappoint! The singers were amazing; Oriana brought the energy, and our entire wedding party of all ages (8 to 83 years of age) danced all night. For those planning a Cape Wedding, you cannot have your reception without at least considering this band. Prior to the wedding, we saw them play at Embargo and were immediately sold (check out their upcoming play schedule and go watch them play before deciding your reception music). Jack, the lead singer, took the time to detail out our wedding playlist and even took the time to learn a few obscure songs we wanted played. We decided to go with the 4-piece band, as the addition of the saxophone was amazing. In addition, their fee was very reasonable for a 5-hour play set. Having the right music and band is definitely the most important part of any wedding, and we were extremely fortunate we made the choice to have Accent Band a part of ours. It always perplexes me why couples decide to hire a DJ when you can hire a live band for a similar price. Thank you Jack, Oriana, and Terry for making our special day so memorable!!! John & Patty
Jack and the entire Accent Band were amazing! We hired them to play at our wedding reception and cocktail hour before. Their energy kept everyone on the dance floor dancing all night. Jack was super easy to work with and very accommodating. If we had to go back and do it all over again, we'd definitely hire the Accent Band again. 10 out of 10, would recommend.
Accent band was absolutely amazing at our wedding. We had a semi casual beach themed wedding on Cape Cod with just under 100 people. They brought a ton of energy and sounded spectacular. Jack was especially helpful in bringing gear and catering to everything that we needed on the day of. Leading up to the wedding day he took the time to speak with us several times on the phone to make sure that he covered all of our expectations. All of our guests had nothing but rave reviews and Accent Band definitely helped to make our wedding day something special. Thank you so much to Jack and his crew!
Accent Band MADE our Wedding weekend. We booked them for both our Welcome Party and our Wedding Day. They do an amazing job and always have everyone up on the dance floor. They play the best music new and old. Jack was amazing to work. Everyone absolutely loved them and they made the nights so much fun. 10/10 recommend forever!!!
Accent is a band that my family and I frequently see at the local restaurants/bars around Dennis. When my now husband and I started planning our wedding we knew we had to hire accent to play. Jack, Terry, and Oriana are literally the best. Not only are they a fantastic band, they are great people! The communication was fantastic. They played for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They also DJ'd our first dance song, father/daughter dance, and mother/son dance. The rest of the night was live music and the dance floor was packed all night! Our guests kept telling us after the wedding what a fun wedding it was. And that is all thanks to Accent for playing the best music and doing a great job at keeping the party going! We can’t wait to see you guys again thank you for the best night ever!!
Do not book this band. They started our first dance song in the MIDDLE of the song. And then they didn’t even apologize to us or mention it at all. They’re communication was horrible, I had to reach out twice to reschedule a phone conference the lead “forgot” about. I was honestly scared they weren’t going to show up. They took frequent breaks, it felt like we had a DJ for most of the night and overall they’re sound was not good for the price. Save yourself the time and frustration I felt dealing with them and stay away.
Everyone loved them!! Thank you Jack and crew for making our party lively and so much fun!!! We got so many compliments about this group. All the guests were happy and so were we!! Jack listed and did everything we asked for our day! What a party!!!
I couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding. All of our guests RAVED about their performance. They had no trouble keeping everyone on the dance floor, were open to requests and played an amazing assortment of music including every song that I asked them to play. I am so lucky to have had them perform at our wedding and would HIGHLY recommend them! Actually, our friends already booked them for their wedding next year after seeing them at our wedding!! SO great!
I wanted to express our thanks for all that you did to help us celebrate a wonderful wedding at the Pamet Club. We so appreciate all of your terrific advice, kind words, and energized music! Our guests LOVED the vibe, the band's rep, and the certainly danced their butts off! Thank you, thank you.
These guys seriously rocked the house. They drove 300 miles the morning of my wedding and were there on time, were super enthusiastic, and sounded absolutely amazing. They really made the night a great success. Thanks to Jack for his patience and good advice during the planning process. Would definitely recommend!
The Accent Trio played at our Welcome Party on the Friday night before our wedding - we had seen them play at various Cape Cod venues and we knew we liked their songs and style. They were AMAZING to work with (very flexible and gracious) and have an extensive song list - everything you could want! They gave a great, enthusiastic performance -- they got people to hit the dance floor and everyone raved about how much they liked them. All in all, highly recommended!
Jack and his band are AMAZING! I was looking everywhere for a live band with a brass section and finally found it Accent! I highly recommend them for any event. People were dancing at our wedding from the moment the music started until it stopped. Fantastic selection of music and great musicians.
We used Accent for our 2015 wedding on Cape Cod at Wychmere. Jack was very accommodating. He and his band played for both my ceremony and reception. To start, Jack played acoustic guitar and we hired a pianist he recommended for my outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was beautiful and tranquil, exactly what I wanted.
Then later that evening, Jack, Oriana (vocals), Terry (sax) and Tony (electric guitar) played for our reception. They got everyone out dancing! They gladly accepted requests and kept the crowd on the dance floor from after dinner to midnight. The band was affordable, and I was very impressed with their professionalism and great sound! Both my father and sister are musicians and they had very positive things to say about the band. I strongly recommend Accent Band for your wedding.
These guys were the best dance band ever. They were on time, played music that had the crowd up and dancing from the first number. They made our daughter's wedding truly special -- three years later, people are still talking about it!
We had 180 guests, and a variety of ages and people. Jack was incredible from the moment I first emailed him. He invited us to come hear them live down on the Cape in the winter, had the crowd dancing even with the snow outside, and bought us a drink thanking us for making the trip.
I loved communicating with him before the wedding, especially that last week, as he made me feel he was set even when I through in another bridesmaid and groomsmen.
Everyone danced the entire night and the band thanked us at the end for such a great crowd but honestly I can not say enough about them especially for the value. They have a number of different vocalists and I suggest adding the fifth piece for the trumpet pizazz!
My parents have asked repeated times of the name of the band because so many of their friends want to use them for upcoming events. Even women at my gym knew the band and raved about them- a real hit for the younger people as well.
Highly highly recommend their professional music!
Jack and the band were so much fun to work with! They were very flexible and really had everyone up dancing all night! We are still getting compliments on the band!
Jack and Accent made our wedding reception!!! Everyone was on the dance floor and raving about them! They were so easy to work with, learned music for us, did an amazing job with introductions, play list, cocktail hour and keeping the reception lively! Would highly recommend using them- I would use them again in a second and am so happy with our choice! Thank you Jack and Accent :)
Anyone getting married on Cape Cod and looking for a wedding band should look no further than Jack Leyden's Accent. They are the best wedding band ever! They totally know how to work the crowd and had everyone up on the dance floor, even people that normally don't dance. All our guests kept talking about how great the band was, even all through brunch the next day. Any song you want, they can play. My husband and I selected "Then" by Brad Paisley for our first dance and Jack and his band did an incredible job. It was so beautiful it brought tears to my Moms eyes. Thanks so much Jack for helping make our special day a perfect one.

Jack and Accent were awesome. They made the night. Jack and his piano player did the music for our ceremony. It was perfect. Then we danced the night away to the band. They played everything! Old, new, fast, slow. It was perfect. They played to the crowd and took requests. Our wedding night was a blast BECAUSE of the band! You can't go wrong with Jack and Accent.

From the moment I first spoke to Jack on the phone...to the last song of the night they played...it was all just so perfect.
Jack and his mates are amazing musicians and great people and were also able to provide acoustic ceremony music. . Jack and "ACCENT" made the flow of the night go along so perfectly for our guests, and of course for my husband and I and wedding party...
During the entire wedding, I was so relaxed just having their presence...they kept the night going...we loved the acoustic they provided, then they had DJ equipment for our cocktail hour then when our guests entered the ballroom...there they were... READY TO GO!!!
The night was so powerful and I do believe this band's good energy contributed so much and made for an amazing night....My guests still rave about our wedding band and how they had never seen such a good band anywhere!!
This band is so perfect...will listen and honor your needs and respect your taste and really customize...they can play everything live! Yet also will bring their DJ stuff for like those "Old NEW Kids Songs, Rob Base" etc...they are fun, yet not showy at all...They will keep things going all night in such a perfect way!!
Jack and his group are true professionals and I enjoyed working with them very much, I also trusted Jack's guidance, knowledge and support when it came to making choices for music and they made the process very simple...I would hire them again and again and again...You will love them!!! Book now!!!
My husband I were married on May 14th in Cambridge, and we adored our wedding, had so much fun and I truly believe Accent made everything just right!!!
My dad insisted on live music for my recent wedding. He booked Accent Entertainment and my husband and I couldn't have been happier. They are fantastic musicians and vocalist, a great mix of songs and Jack was a great MC who really kept the flow of the reception moving seamlessly! Our reception was so fun and I know that we owe most of that to the band (cause it was cold and windy ). All night long all of our guest were on the dance floor and are still talking about how amazing the band was and what a great time they had! You definitely need to book them for your wedding!!
We had these wonderful people at our wedding in June and couldn't be happier. They are top shelf musicians, really engage with the crowd and were very easy to plan with as the day approached. We had teens, an 83 year old grandmother and every age in between singing their praises as we left for the evening. A great blend of oldies and current songs with great instrumentation and very good voices. Jack the leader is also a handsome professional MC that did a great job of playing to the crowd both with comments and the mix of song selection. As the guy that danced to the music and wrote the check, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed by having this band at your wedding or event. Go to there website and listen to their song samples. They are even better live!
