This is Tom. He's a human jukebox. Name almost any song and Tom will jump in, enthusiastically singing and playing guitar. Tom Logan is Chicago’s most coveted guitarist for recording sessions, theatre work and the most exciting celebrations. Hundreds of commercial spots and performances to sold out crowds with the legendary Ray Charles and singer/songwriter Kenny Loggins are just a few in the sea of highlights of his career.

Christie. With boundless energy, a vivacious personality, and an extraordinary voice, Christy Ogilvie sings and you smile. That's just the way it works. Christy’s irresistible exuberance, dynamic vocals, and outgoing disposition brings guests to the dance floor and keeps them there! Remember... she sings and you smile. It's as simple as that.

Charles's favorite quote says it all: "Without music, life would be a mistake." Charles Hammond, Jr. has a faith and love in music that captivates all who listen to him sing. He believes that music is a vital element to being alive, and his ability to bring music to life makes him an invaluable member of Tom Christie’s front line. Stevie Wonder, Usher, Al Green and Bruno Mars are a few influences that fuel Charles' passion. Make no mistake, his performances electrify every audience, every single time!

Maggie. There's a powerhouse in the house. Maggie Bynum's masterful voice has the sultry color of Sarah Vaughan, the smoky richness of Cassandra Wilson, the finesse and ease of Sade, the power and ferocity of Mary J. Blige, and the attitude of Rihanna. From the breathiest, sweetest note to a powerhouse finish, Maggie's style is uniquely her own, possessing the distinct ability to set each and every performance ablaze with breathtaking excitement. This girl can SING, and she will keep your party dancing all night long!

Judah. Innovative vocalist Judah Bridges is as comfortable singing the current hits of Bruno Mars as he is the classic tunes of Michael Jackson. With infectious energy and a captivating personality, his performances bring joy to those around him and energize the party. Although Judah's roots are planted solidly in the gospel tradition, his diversity shines whether he's singing the most beautiful John Legend tune or rapping some Pitbull. And, he's got a killer hat collection. Love it!

Hear the band.

Yep, it's live. All of it.
Why?
Because the band on your wedding day doesn't get a second chance. You need one that gets it right the first time.
