Crowd Theory Entertainment

ric and a 3, 4, 5, or 6 person band. Of course, we picked the full 6 person band. First, three of the bandmates played acoustic music during our cocktail hour. The violin was so beautiful that it had some of our guests in tears! And come party time, the full band played the greatest set of songs and had everyone dancing the whole night. We couldn't have made a better choice. Hire this band and don't look back!

ainment in general. I have worked in the music industry for twenty years and have seen every kind of cover, tribute, event, and wedding band, so I knew exactly what I didn't want for our wedding. What my wife and I wanted was a band that could play all the hits (from several eras) but have the feel of a true, original band, not a group of pieced together musicians that mindlessly play through songs every weekend. We got exactly what we wanted with the Straytones. The musicianship of every player (Sean on guitar & vocals, Heath on lead vocals, Vito on violin, Greg on drums, Frederico on bass, Glenn on sax and Dan on trumpet) was Top Par, studied, but fresh. This may be a dated reference, but at many points throughout our reception night I had flashes of the movie The Blues Brothers because of the pure energy and talent of the cast of musicians on stage. They blew the roof off, and no pair of feet was spared the uncontrollable urge to DANCE! I could go on about how the band's unique instrumentation lent itself to a sound so natural, joyful and rocking that the music almost took on "spiritual" undertones, but I suggest just watching their video and imagining how your friends and family will react to hearing it for the first time. The guys learned three songs for us by request including one that was an original which I wrote for my wife as a surprise, and they played all of them perfectly. The band graciously allowed me to join them on stage to play the original song . Most people may not understand the tricky position a band is put in when someone asks if they can sit in or jam with the band, much less asks the band to learn a song that has never been heard by anyone before. But Sean did not flinch and was so supportive of the whole thing. He even Skyped with me a couple of weeks before the wedding to talk through notes for the song. After the wedding I wrote him: "I never had any doubt that the show would kill but what I never could have envisioned is how kind and supportive you would be as the leader. I'm sure you know that part of your work when playing weddings means creating and cementing memories that people will carry with them the rest of their lives, but to agree to play an original song with some guy who you had never met before and let that guy pretend to be the main attraction for three minutes is so above and beyond what would ever be expected that I can't put into words how appreciative and blown away I am by you." The love does not stop there, as Sean replied to this email with such kind words for me, our wedding and our guests, that it made my wife cry. Even after the gig is over this is a man who truly cares and is working his tail off to bring such great vibes and music to people. If ever there was something that warranted a guarantee it is the Straytones. I guarantee that it will never be a bad decision for anyone to hire them. As a professional company, Crowd Theory is exactly what anyone who books them would want. Sean is extremely responsive, adaptable, and down to earth. These traits come through in every one of the musicians he works with too. Put simply, the Straytones and Sean made our wedding day. I sincerely cannot imagine the day without them.

onderful experience. Hire the Straytones! I will hire them again next time we have a big event.

ame and contact info for our wedding band. I was a little worried at first, because I hadn't heard them live and had only seen their promotional video. It also took a lot for me to let them create their own set list and to trust their expertise, but all I can say is wow and I'm glad I did!! All I said was, I like soul and oldies with a few modern songs scattered in between. They came up with the perfect set list, which I'm sure works with almost every wedding!! I don't think people stopped dancing once (well except for when my maid of honor broke a beer bottle on the dance floor). I also, added the mandolinist and female vocalist. I'm so so so happy I did this, because both were incredible! One of my favorite memories of the night was my little 9 year old cousin getting up on stage and playing the mandolin (he thought the mandolinist was so cool!) They were great at emceeing. They got everyone's names right, made it fun, and kept everything on schedule. We had some pretty talented musicians as wedding guests and they were all amazed at how great the band was. We had people telling us it was the best wedding band they've ever heard. This all made the night so incredible and made us so happy knowing that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Our night would not have been what it was if we hadn't hired the Straytones! Don't think twice about it, just book them!!! It'll be the best decision you make!

some weird pronunciations in our family!!!) Everyone we invited, from age 5 to 80, was dancing and singing along with the band until the very last song. Thank you for helping make our wedding night the best night of our lives! : )

age! We wanted a bigger ensemble, so Sean suggested a 6-piece band with male & female lead vocals, and the end result was a night full of gorgeous music and dancing. The two singers in the band were unbelievable together. Everyone kept coming up to us asking how we found our band, and since the wedding, we’ve gotten several calls asking for their information. Dancing to the Straytones amazing music was by far the highlight of the night. Thank you Sean and company for being so professional and for making everything so easy & fun!

by the Proclaimer's) and it was PERFECT. They are willing to work with whatever requests you have and they follow through. All of my wedding guests were raving about Crowd Theory! So happy I found them and we booked them up when we did.

rite vendors, hands down. I had the absolute best time at my wedding and Sean and the band had a large part in making it the most memorable and best dance party of my entire life. I actually danced for two hours straight instead of talking to my guests and have zero regrets about it. They played such fun sets and had our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Even the catering gals were dancing in the kitchen to the songs! The level of talent and professionalism I got from Crowd Theory exceeded all of my high expectations and I want to get married at least every year just so I can have them back. On a logistical note, Sean was fantastic at communicating with me through the entire planning process. He was great at working with me and my day-of timeline and even had the band learn a song for our ceremony processional and reception. Everything about working with Crowd Theory went extremely well, even when our timeline got a little thrown out of whack because that's what happens on your wedding day. It's been a week since the wedding and our guests are still raving about the music at the wedding. We've had multiple guests ask us for Crowd Theory contact info as they want to book the band for their own personal/corporate gigs. Crowd Theory definitely made my wedding and I could not be happier with them from start to finish.
