Mainstream

Looking for a band to get the crowd jumping at your reception? For over a decade now, this area’s number one reception band, Mainstream, has been shaking it up at hundreds of successful events.

With their unique blend of rock, swing, R&B, and ballads, Mainstream knows how to get your guests on the dance floor and in the mood. One of the reasons for Mainstream’s popularity is definitely versatility. This quintet can run the gamut from swing to rock and roll.

Mainstream’s specialty is variety, so whether your favorite song is It Had To Be You, or What I Like About You, this is the band for you. Their repertoire includes a little bit of soul, and a dash of funk. They also mix in a nice variety of slow dances. Mainstream’s proven track record is based on sure-fire dance hits. And if you’d like to start off the evening with a little smooth jazz or dinner music, that’s certainly not a problem.

Having played at over 500 wedding receptions, Mainstream knows how to play the perfect mix to please you and your guests. Their energy, enthusiasm, and their musicianship will make your reception unforgettable. And if you like the sound of that, you’ll love the sound of Mainstream.

 

"Dear Members of Mainstream, Thank you for making our wedding one of the most fun we've ever attended.  Everyone had a great time dancing to wonderful music and the dance floor was full all evening.   Just as we imagined.    You are a talented group and a class act. Thank You!"- Lisa and Jeff Mainstream photo

"Dear Mainstream and Darrell,  Thank you for playing at our July 1st wedding reception at the Seattle Golf Club.  We had a fabulous and memorable evening and owe much of that to the rocking tunes that you played for us.   Additionally you were flexible with our selection of first dances and with our friend Angeli's solo.   Your e-mail communications were prompt and clear.   Finally the highlight was when the band improvised a song to accompany cousin Tom's Chair dance.  The family is still talking about it!   You were a hit at the Hamilton Sterling wedding.  Thank you again."

- Brynne & Thomas


"As a Catering Director, I've heard most of the dance bands in the Northwest. When it came time to plan my own wedding reception, my choice was simple - I hired MAINSTREAM."

- Lisa Beck
Catering Director, Inglewood Golf Club

 

"I wanted to thank all of the Mainstream band members for your work on Matt and Shira's wedding this past Sunday. Everyone had such a fun time and had so many fantastic things to say about the group.  I personally wanted to thank you for your flexibility on the little/major things like the first dance, mother/son and father/daughter dances, having the songs finally selected only seconds before playing them.  Wow!  And you handled it so well. You were all wonderful and I will certainly recommend you to my future brides.  Thanks for everything."

- Stephanie Bonnington

"Thank you so much for one of the great evenings of my life. What a wonderful way to celebrate my 13th birthday! You were so good. And so many people have told us, last night and today, how much they enjoyed you. Your combination of superb musicianship and perceptive crowd reading make for a perfect experience. Everyone said what a great evening it was, and you deserve a lot of the credit. We have to do this more often."

“I appreciate your concern regarding overpayment, but I had 'consciously' intended that level of gratuity. My wife Carolyn I felt that Mainstream provided a large contribution to what was an outstanding wedding reception. Even with the additional $250 gratuity you questioned, I feel your band was a great value. Thanks.”
