Live music speaks to people unlike any recording ever could. There’s something about watching people perform their hearts out that resonates with all of us and helps us feel more connected to one another.
If you’re planning an event, it can be hard to pick which genre you want your entertainment to be.
These are the most popular music genres for live events, and why people go wild over them!
Fantastic Smooth Jazz
Jazz is timeless and classy in a way no other music can quite grasp. It can flood your mind with vivid images of what’s happening in the song, even if there are no vocals along with the instruments. Live jazz is fantastic for everything from a birthday party to a corporate event and allows people to enjoy the smooth and interesting music without having to get bored of it. There’s no genre for live performances that can cover as many bases as jazz.
Outlaw Country
Whether you’re more into Razz Taylor or Willie Nelson, outlaw country has a way of reaching into peoples’ minds and hearts unlike any other. Even people who claim they don’t like country music will find themselves tapping along with a Johnny Cash song or having fun listening to Waylon Jennings. Outlaw country has a certain kind of seasoning to it that makes it more fun and interesting for those who are watching it and can keep people on the edge of their seats.
Garage Rock Bands
Garage rock is a genre that’s been growing for the last seventy years and continues to grow over time. This type of music may be stretched over many different types of rock, from punk to metal, but it has that same edgy, fun, loose style that gets people in the mood to rock out. This is great for graduation parties and birthday parties for teenagers and those in their early 20s. Although there’s no set way this music sounds, it can leave a lot of people feeling the same awesome way.
Incredible String Quartets
String quartets are fabulous groups that can play an array of string instruments that will leave people transfixed while they listen. Although the sound is going to be similar between multiple groups, they’re still able to stun and amaze anyone who’s listening. If you want to take this further, look for a group that can cover modern music in a classical sound!
Fantastic Solo Singers
Solo singers bring a different kind of energy. This can be boosted even more if they have an instrument that they play to accompany their own singing. Performers like Elton John and Orville Peck are able to turn heads by getting on stage and just letting their voices carry you away. Although this isn’t one set genre either, pulling a solo musician from almost any kind of music will make the performance far more interesting and fun to watch.
Any Music Genre Can Make a Splash
Whether you’re throwing a graduation party or a bridal shower, the right genre of music can take the event from boring into inspired. Think about what sound will speak to your guests: and make it happen!
