What are your favorite bands on the Central Coast

kacindaj

I'm planning a garden wedding reception for late May. Anyone have any favorite bands in the area? I live in San Diego so am a bit disconnected from the local music scene. Any suggestions are appreciated!! 

specifics: I'm hoping to find a group that will get people dancing, but isn't the typical wedding band... all up for bluegrass or jazz or reggae or ???

thanks tons!!

I didn't even listen to my wedding band before our wedding. Crazy right? DH and I told my dad that we wanted a band that could play jazz, swing, rock, standards, etc. He immediately said "Oh you're looking for the San Luis Jazz band" without even a stutter. Hearst Castle books them by the way. They were fabulous! The dance floor was full ALL night. I have amazing pictures of people having a great time. 

They have a website and you can hear a tiny snipit of what they sound like. I know they are also excellent at latin music!

Cuesta Ridge is awesome!!  They are out of Los Osos which is near Morro Bay. They play all over the central coast.  They play Blue Grass.  Tall bass, fiddle ect.

Narrow Road is a great choice if you haven't already booked a band.  They can play, country, rock, bluegrass, and gospel.  Their harmonies make them stand apart from any other band on the Central Coast.  For bookings call (805)296-5825.
