Voted Best of Tahoe · 2022 · 2023 · 2024

Northern California and Nevada's live band for weddings, parties, and packed dance floors.

One band, many shapes — a trio for the cocktail hour, a five-piece that fills the floor, an expanded lineup with horns for the big rooms. Real players, familiar songs, and our own music too.

Bread & Butter performing as a trio

The Trio

3 piece

A compact live setup that reads the room. Great for the parts of the night that need real music but not a full dance floor — a flexible song list, a small footprint, and three players who lock in.

Book the band

The regional go-to for weddings, corporate nights, and everything in between.

Bread & Butter has become the Sierra Nevada's reliable answer for events that need real musicianship — flexible lineups, a deep familiar song list, a few originals when the moment's right, and the kind of Tahoe energy that gets people out of their chairs.

Premium enough for a black-tie reception. Loose enough to actually be a good time.

Bread & Butter live on stage

A real band since 2015

Not a wedding-vendor cover act. A working band that happens to be great at your night.

Groove-heavy rock, funk, and soul aimed straight at the dance floor — built on a decade of Tahoe stages, with new originals recording in the studio now.

See it, hear it

Every shape of the band.
