We interact with the crowd with authentic energy (no cheese here!) and good-natured fun. Our sound engineering is top notch. Our musicianship is outstanding. And, our sophisticated, energetic & playful style is the perfect recipe for an outstanding event!
● The Fever is tight Full time professionals dedicated to The Fever, most of our core band has played together from the start, with our newest member since 2013. We have solid subs on every instrument, musicians we know and gig with often in the Colorado music scenes, so we're always covered in case of sickness or travel. Friends for all of these years, we know each other personally & musically, we still get a kick out of hanging out together and we love to play- really play- so the band is tight!
● The Fever’s musicians hone their craft, keeping their creativity, skills & passions piqued with creative projects at clubs, festivals & international tours. Most of The Fever's musicians have multiple degrees or advanced training in jazz & music performance, which offers not only impressive versatility, but leads to the ability to deliver absolutely crushing solos & can't-help-but-dance grooves for high energy celebrations.
● The Fever’s versatil ity reflects your style. Traditional classical, jazz, soul, funk, Motown, classic rock, soft rock, alternative rock, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, older pop, modern pop, indie, Latin, bluegrass and newgrass, and more- we pretty much play it all. And, for background music, or for a club-like vibe with floor thumping radio hits, the iPod sounds fantastic through our sound system.
● The Fever performs l ive, interpreting the music in real time and authentically interacting with the crowd. We’re the life of the party! We can extend songs when folks are tearing it up on the dance floor, shorten songs for special dances, or change up the feel & style to match your preferences. We never play with pre-recorded backing tracks, we’re just real musicians playing real music in real time for a real good time!
● The Fever is highly configurable. With solo to quintet ensembles and with dance bands from 4-piece to 10-piece, we can provide music for any or all portions of your event.

WHO SAYS ONE SIZE F ITS ALL? Choose your options to fit your style & budget
Live music options for every mood, anytime
● Ceremony Ensemble. Live music for wedding ceremonies brings a level of elegance, personality & distinction that
you just can't achieve with a recording. The Fever's musicians are exceptional - they play classical, jazz or instrumental pop. Using musicians who are already in the band can be more cost effective than bringing in outside musicians. We also work with fantastic traditional string musicians, so the options are many! Solo guitar or piano, guitar/piano, piano/upright bass, guitar/violin, cello/violin/guitar, etc…
● Cocktail Ensembles. Live music during cocktails brings vitality & sophistication and interaction while guests
mingle. It creates an upbeat, celebrative atmosphere filled with exciting anticipation for the party to come. The Fever is proud to boast some of the greatest jazz musicians in Colorado & beyond. Take advantage of their expertise! Instrumentation can vary greatly- solo, duo, trio, quartet, on up to the full band. Choose instrumental or with vocals, or a mix of both. We play a huge variety of genres, from jazz standards (Miles Davis, Cole Porter, Louis Armstrong) to funk-jazz fusion (Herbie Hancock, Grover Washington, Pat Metheny); from classic soul (Marvin Gaye, George Benson, Aretha Franklin, Bill Withers) and classic “pop rock” & folk (James Taylor, Beatles, Van Morrison, Hall & Oates) to modern pop ballads (John Legend, Adele, Ed Sheeran) and Americana (Avette Brothers, Bob Dylan, Lumineers, Greatful Dead). It just depends on your tastes. How about bluegrass? From old school bluegrass to Newgrass, we love to create a Colorado mountain vibe. We’re experts at playing just the right music to create or fit the mood and can make suggestions that will fit your personal style and event.
● Dinner Ensembles. Live music during dinner adds a lively ambiance without overshadowing or interrupting the
focus- dinner table conversation. Genres that work well for dinner are jazz, soul and contemporary pop ballads with vocals. Having live music during dinner gives the guests a chance to enjoy the slower songs the band won't have a chance to play during dancing (for example, songs by Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Cole Porter, Bill Withers, Beatles, Ray Charles and contemporary artists such as Norah Jones, Ray LaMontagne, Van Morrison, Diana Krall and Adele, to name a few). Male and female vocals are available. Instrumental only is also available. We’re sensitive to volume to during dinner hour- we know that conversation is the focus and we‘ll ensure your guests will be able to enjoy their conversations, and the music, too!
● Dance Bands. When you’re ready to let loose & celebrate, we’ll entice everyone onto the dance floor with our full
band, funky beats, dance hits, and contagious energy. The Fever offers a variety of band sizes to get the party going with upbeat high energy tunes your guests will recognize & love- we'll personalize the musical genres we play to match your preferences & style. And we can customize instrumentation if you have something unique in mind...
● DJ Options. The Fever offers options to help you stay within budget or space constraints. Choose to go with a DJ for
your entire event, or bring in live musicians for even more variety for your ceremony, cocktails, dinner, or special dances. Our sound system is excellent, we provide lighting, wireless microphone, planning assistance and timeline management, MC services and an unlimited option for song selections.

WHO SAYS ONE SIZE F ITS ALL? Our flexible instrumentation fits your style & budget
The Fever configures to fit your plans
● Solo. Simple acoustic guitar or piano is a perfect choice for very small, intimate affairs. Our musicians play everything from classical to jazz, blues to funk, alternative to pop, folk to bluegrass. Our core players are multi-instrumentalists who also play ukulele, acoustic bass with bow, flute, mandolin, and even bagpipes!
● Acoustic Duos/Trios/Quartets. Perfect for creating an elegant & sophisticated atmosphere for cocktail receptions, dinner affairs and intimate parties. Possible combinations include guitar/guitar; guitar/piano; piano/upright-bass; guitar/cello; guitar/violin; piano/upright-bass/saxophone; drums/upright-bass/guitar/saxophone; cello/violin/viola/guitar, etc, etc. Just let us know the sound and style you’re envisioning and we’ll put together a perfect ensemble to create just the right mood. Love bluegrass? We do, too! Add any number of instruments to the mix for a unique sound: cajon, clarinet, flute, fiddle, banjo, mandolin or the ultra quiet 3D printed carbon fiber trumpet with wooden mute .
● 4pc band. This smaller electric band delivers a fantastic sound & plays everything from classical, jazz, & soul to Motown, funk, pop & rock. I recommend this band for limited budgets, very small parties or venues with greater space restrictions. The small ensemble does limit the number of instrumental "voices", but is perfect for jazz, soul, pop, blues and rock. For Motown, funk, 70's, 80's and contemporary hits with both male/female vocals, our 5pc is recommended. Or, skip the female vocals and get full rock band instrumentation with all male vocals.
● The 5pc band delivers a fantastic sound and is recommended when space is limited (our 4pc band is also available for even tighter space restrictions) or for smaller budgets). This line up consists of drums, bass, guitar, keys, male & female lead vocals and 3 to 4 part harmonies. The musicians play everything from classical to jazz, soul, funk, Motown, disco, pop, 80s, 90s, blues, folk & rock and this line up totally rocks.
● The 6pc band is the same as the 5pc, but adds a horn for added energy, a variety of "voices" playing solos, and for all those signature horn lines so well known in Motown, funk & rock. Our players are multi-instrumentalists who may sing, play baritone, tenor, alto or soprano sax, as well as flute, clarinet, harmonica, key or synth and/or hand percussion, such as tambourine, shakers &/or congas). If budget and space allows, this is the smallest "big" band that we recommend for high energy dancing to a variety of genres. The horn makes the difference!
● Our 7pc band is our signature band, we can add another phenomenal female or male singer (for variety of leads, great backups and fun energy) who is also an instrumentalist (adding percussion or synthesizer), or we add another horn to create a high energy horn section with harmonized lines & variety of additional instrumentation. The energy onstage between the vocalists, the instrumentalists and the crowd is fantastic, heartfelt, honest and exciting. We recommend this band for events with approx 100 guests, more or less, or whenever you want high energy and variety.
● Our 8pc l ine up adds another piece to the horn section for playing those great signature lines popular in so many songs, features multiple powerhouse male & female vocalists, drums, bass, keys/organ/synth, guitar, hand percussion, and more. If you'd like even more excitement & energy, you may want to consider bringing in a fantastic percussionist, to add funky "can't help but dance" beats on the congas, bongos and a variety of cool percussion instruments.
● 9pc, 10pc or 11pc bands. For the most spectacular events. We can add to our 8pc line up horn pieces (trumpet, trombone, baritone sax, etc), synthesizer, rhythm guitar, and/or a percussionist to play congas, hand drums and other fun percussions, or professional dancers for both on stage and on the dance floor- the added pieces bring on a big full sound & an exciting show.
