SONG LIST
A variety of songs For your partY
We provide an experience beyond what a typical wedding or cover band can offer because we’re just as proficient in performing your guest’s favorite songs as we represent New Orleans internationally with our original music at festivals and venues. Please let us know when booking if there are any specific songs on the list that must be played and/or avoided. We’ll gladly perform up to two requests not on this list, free of charge.
In addition to leading an award-winning special event band, James Martin is an accomplished songwriter. His songs and arrangements have appeared on NCIS: New Orleans, Anthony Bourdain’s Raw Craft, Popeye’s Chicken commercials, and more.
