Here’s why we call The Tom Christie Band our “Human Jukebox.” Just call a tune, and watch Tom go!
Looking for live music during dinner, but not jazz? Check this out:
And just for fun, Tom & Christy together, unplugged. This is the core of a great band!

Road trip!! Playing for an amazing family is always an amazing experience, and this was certainly no exception. From their beautiful ceremony at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Carmel, IN through the very last dance of their reception at the Omni Severin, this was a celebration to remember.
Gorgeous dinner space
Artistrings Pop String Quartet entertained for cocktails and dinner.
And then we started dancing in the adjacent room. This first clip deserves to stand on its own. Check out grandma (age 94!) dancing with her grandson/brother of the groom. LOVE.

Private Residence – Barrington
WOW! When it rains, it pours. Literally. If rain is good luck on your wedding day, then Caitlin & Will are all set for a magical life together 🙂 100 guests in a series of tents on her family’s beautifully appointed estate danced the night away, even after torrential downpour and threats of tornadoes earlier in the evening. You’d never know. Everyone handled the challenge with grace and humor, and we had a blast performing for them!

We were thrilled to celebrate the historic vitality of our National Hellenic Museum with The Chris Sarlas Orchestra last night. Opa!
ArtBeat Live was showcased during dinner, generating an exciting auction to raise funds for the Museum.
John Legend’s beautiful new hit, All of Me. Check out Tim’s performance, true to the original. This is one of our very favorite new songs.
Here’s a quick mashup of our Greek set. The Chris Sarlas Orchestra covers both Greek and American styles seamlessly — a pretty cool party trick! Lotsa words, and Voula got ’em ALL. Sing Voula!

From start to finish, we had a blast working with Stefanie & Jeremy, comparing top knots on our black & white shih-tzus, and figuring out how to keep up with Jeremy’s eclectic collection of fun socks 🙂
On May 25th, Artistrings played some beautiful ceremony music, and after cocktails, we opened the gorgeous ballroom to a black & white theme and danced the night away. Flawless coordination from Randy Schuster & Associates kept the entire night running without a hitch.
We’re going to use this blog post to demonstrate something really important, an issue that normally doesn’t get addressed: transitions. We’ve included a long video clip here, and it’s completely unedited, so you’ll see exactly what happened at Stefanie & Jeremy’s wedding in the first dance set between courses. We started with Let’s Stay Together, transitioned seamlessly into Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, and then another seamless transition to Happy. The dance floor stays packed, and the guests aren’t left awkwardly wondering what to do next. They know exactly what to do: DANCE!
So, if you’re wondering what to look for as you compare bands, the answer is TRANSITIONS. They are super important, and will be the deciding factor in whether your dance floor stays full or not.
That, my friends, is one thing that sets apart a good band from a great band.
