Book the band

Real musicianship, right-sized to your night.

Weddings, private parties, corporate events, festivals, and local venues — across Lake Tahoe, Northern California, and Nevada.

What we play

Not every event needs the same band.

The lineup, the set list, and the volume all flex to the room. Here's where you'll usually find us — tell us which one is you.

Flexible lineups

Solo, duo, trio, five-piece, or an expanded band with horns. One booking scales across your whole event — ceremony to last call.

Songs people know

A deep list across rock, funk, soul, blues, and pop, plus our own originals. We read the crowd and pace the night so the floor stays full.

Tahoe energy

A real working band, not a wedding-vendor cover act. Polished when it counts, loose when it should be, always actually fun.

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.

Good questions

Before you ask.

How far will you travel?

Home base is Lake Tahoe, and we regularly play Truckee, Reno, Sacramento, and greater Northern California and Nevada. Travel beyond the region is an easy add-on — just tell us where.

Which lineup should we book?

That is exactly what the inquiry is for. Send us the date, place, and guest count and we will recommend the right version — trio, core five-piece, expanded, or a custom mix across the night.

Do you learn special songs?

Within reason, yes — first dances and key requests are part of the plan. Send your must-plays when you inquire and we will talk through what fits the band.

Can you cover the whole night?

Ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception can all run through one booking. We also offer DJ / playlist support between live sets so the music never stops.
