Timeless is a multi-faceted and expandable musical entertainment group. The band performs from three to eight (or more) pieces which allows for considerable flexibility in our pricing and options for our clients .
The eight piece version of the band absolutely sparkles with male and female entertainers, guitar, keyboards, sax, trumpet, bass, and drums. It is incredibly versatile and there is virtually nothing the band will not be able to cover for you.
The intermediate version of the band is five to six pieces. Male and female entertainers, guitar, bass, drums, and sax as the optional sixth piece.
From the five piece on up, the band can cover anything from Duke Ellington to Beyoncé or Dianna Ross and the Supremes to Bruno Mars – and anything in between. Everything from the 40's to what is on the radio today: Taylor Swift. The Temptations, Beyonce, Celo Green, Duke Ellington, Nora Jones, Santana, KC and the Sunshine Band, The Dobbie Brothers, Megan Trainer, Brittney Spears, some country, Paramore, Doobie Brothers, Def Leppard, Journey ( Don't Stop Believin' ), Pink, Cyndi Lauper (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun), Stevie Wonder, Donna Summer, Aretha Franklin, Beatles, Michael Buble, Michael Jackson, The Spinners..... I'd be happy to send you a recent playlist.
If anything, our setlist slighly favors 70s and 80s pop. Whitney Houston, disco, Motown, classic rock, etc. We also have a very nice selection of jazzy music which is perfect for a cocktail hour or conversation over dinner at a wedding reception.
We are happy to learn songs for special dances or requests as well. Everything we play has a melody you can recognize and it's at a volume you can enjoy. The band drips of class and that's the format we present. We have played everything from the Toyota Music Factory to a coffee shop and will keep the volume at appropriate levels for your guests. You can always ask us to turn it up to "11" if that's what you want but that's not where we start out.
For the limited space or budget event, the three piece version is male and female entertainer, guitar, and backing tracks. This version can set up in a corner and/or take up very little space. It can cover almost all of what the other bands do and the tracks are good enough that if you close your eyes, you'll think the horns, keys, etc. were real.
We can dress in Tuxedos or jeans and band T shirts. We’ve also been known to dress the part for themed events i.e. 70s/80s big hair themes. Our musicians are some of the absolute best in the DFW area and in some cases, the country.
My lead singers/front people are a blast to work with and are very engaging with an audience. My lead male singer is James Brown reincarnated and my lead girl can sing anything. If you are looking for a drum machine, a bassline, and rap words that you can't understand, that is not what we do. Our target audience is largely 30 and up. If your audience is all under 25, I can suggest other musicians.
In any case, we will treat your daughter’s wedding reception, your boss’s corporate function, or your HOA event as if it were our own. I will walk the venue with you at your convenience prior to the event, we will be set up and the sound check done well before your first guest arrives, and you will get a first rate performance from the band. I encourage you to view our videos. There is video from a large selection of events and venues. All of it is live and the audio came right off the mixing board. What you see and hear is what we do.
I look forward to making your event a success.

You won't find a lot of hype on our site. No “the premiere party band in the DFW area” or “the number one choice for entertainment since we burst on the scene ten years ago”. I prefer to let our videos and testimonials speak for themselves. What you see on our videos is what you get. No overdubs, lip syncs, or staged performances in a studio. All of it is live with the sound directly off the mixing board. Other bands with $40K worth of lights, staging, a box truck, two roadies, and 15 people on stage, out of necessity charge accordingly. We have a sound system suitable for a large outdoor venue, modest lighting, and one roadie - me, and because of that, I am able to charge accordingly.
And regarding pricing, for most events the band goes from $1200 to $2500 depending on the number of musicians. If you have the budget for it and want the box truck, etc. for thousands more, I am happy to recommend our competition. I often tell potential clients we play for free, but I have to charge for the setup, teardown, equipment, and travel. We love to play and perform and it shows.
