Texas-wide and wherever you may be.

About this vendor

Joe Caruso (vocals) and his superb backing trio (piano, upright bass and drums) perform swingin' standards from various eras. Songs include: "The Way You Look Tonight," "Fly Me To the Moon," "New York State of Mind," as well as other pop standards and love songs. Tony Bennett says: "Your voice sounds beautiful, Joe. Keep singing!" From the shine on his shoes to the dimple in his tie, before Joe even sings a note, it's obvious he is intent on excellence. Joe says, "I take great pride in making certain every detail is just right, and that the music be the soundtrack to a fairytale evening you and your guests will remember forever." If you’re searching for that special ingredient to make sure your event is ultra-romantic and memorable, it’s time to get with The Sinatra of South Texas.

I kept putting off writing a review as I knew I needed to sit down and take moment to convey the absolute professionalism, quality, and fun Joe and his band brought to our wedding. Truly Joe, Maeve and I will remember Meet you at the Moon, and Ain’t That a Kick in the Head in a new light that triggers some of the best memories we now have for years to come. Folks considering having him and his band at your wedding, don’t look any further! Joe’s voice is outstanding, his engagement and energy is apparent from the beginning of the event to the very last song. His band sounds incredible, they look professional, and they have fun doing what they do. Joe even learned a song that was near and dear to my wife and I’s heart. From a Chicago-boy and a Salt Lake girl, thank-you for making our day so special. Your band was incredible, and unforgettable. P.S. St. James Infirmary was a kick-a…excellent surprise! Wishing you the best Joe and band members. John & Maeve.

I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews here for Joe. He and his band are extremely professional, polite, friendly and talented. He may cost more than a DJ but is worth it, especially if you want to class up your reception. He was prompt in responding to all emails and requests within reason. Our guests loved his band and we had people of all ages dancing. He can even play contemporary songs such as “Kiss” by Prince and act as MC/emcee. Don’t hesitate to hire!

There is not enough room here for me to truly get across the ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL experience we had working with Joe Caruso. I have taught dance for several years, and my fiancee decided to learn a choreographed first dance, so I'm sure you can imagine the requests we must have made throughout the wedding planning process. Joe and his band not only learned a song for us, they also sent us several versions of the song to be sure it was perfect with the choreography, they invited us out to hear them perform before the wedding (I am SUPER type-a if you can't tell), and they made wonderful suggestions of jazz songs to replace the traditional wedding marches. I'd always dreamed of a classic/classy wedding that included a vocalist and piano instead of strings instruments, and boy did they deliver! A month and a half out, I'm still getting compliments on how fun our wedding was for all ages. Seriously, though, I would hire this band a thousand more times, if I could. They are perfection, and I can't thank them enough for bringing my wedding dreams to life!

Joe and his band were wonderful for our Jazzy Southtown San Antonio wedding reception. He was incredibly professional and easy to work with; the band was great and everyone loved them! He also took the time to learn a special song for the father-daughter dance - so meaningful for our family. You will not regret working with Joe and his bad. Thanks so much for everything!

Joe Caruso is the living Sinatra dream!! Joe and band, played at my wedding reception and brought so much class, elegance and fun!! Upon first meeting Joe, he makes you feel like old friends. He is so easy to work with and will accommodate your every need. Joe and band put on an incredible performance, our guests gave so many compliments! He sang "Just the way you look tonight" for our first dance at the perfect tempo with so much romance. Not only a professional musician, but Joe brought life to our party as our Emcee. He introduced our wedding party, announced reception games, and more! Look no further, Joe Caruso and band are the total package and best in the industry!! Thank you so much Joe :)

We recently had the honor of working a wedding with Joe Caruso and his band for a wedding we coordinated. He and his band are true professionals and wonderful performers. Our bride asked Joe to learn a song for her father and daughter dance and he did a wonderful job. The bride & father of the bride were singing along and so happy. If you are looking for live music and a great emcee for your wedding or event, give Joe Caruso a call. You will be happy you did!

Joe Caruso and his band were perfect for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary party! I was able to select songs with the right tempo from his extensive song list. My 79 y. o. father has difficulty walking, but was able to dance with my mother to the tunes Joe played! Their guests also enjoyed and were very complimentary of the musical performance Joe and his band provided for this very special occasion. As a special request to me, I am very appreciative that Joe Caruso and his band also learned a song my father used to sing to my mother and were able to perform it for my parents. Joe is very easy-going and accommodating and you'll be delighted with their performance!

We just can't say enough amazing things about Joe Caruso! From the first meeting to the reception, he was engaged, attentive, and accommodating. The song my Dad and I wanted to dance to, he learned for us without hesitation! Our guests were so impressed with him as well, I had more conversations about him during the reception than I did about anything else! The sound was perfect, everyone loved the songs but no one thought it was too loud to converse. And everyone enjoyed the dancing. Our reception was perfect because of them, and we can't recommend them enough! THANK YOU JOE!!!

We had Joe Caruso and his trio perform at our wedding reception. They were fantastic! On time, beautiful music, and so professional! Joe sounds just like Frank Sinatra, all of my guests were talking about his voice. My caterer ended up running late which pushed back our first dance and toast and Joe just went with it like that is how it was supposed to happen! I was so impressed I would highly recommended him! He made our big day so special! He even played for a little longer at the end so we had a chance to do some dancing. He made me feel like I didn't have to worry about anything and it was just perfect!
