About the Band
Blue Tips Rhythm Revue
The Blue Tips Rhythm Revue started off as a one shot deal. First assembling to play a set of motown and soul favorites at a mutual friend's wedding, the band and the audience realized something special was going on before the night was over. Soon, united in their love of motown and soul grooves, the four original members added a tight horn section and were on their way to becoming the go-to party band in the region.
The Blue Tips are not your typical variety band -- they don't blend the expected oldies with today's radio hits - instead these guys keep the dance floor packed by breathing new life into classic soul and motown favorites, music that every generation knows and loves. Their charm is due in large part to their relative youth when compared to the style of music they play, and their exuberant live performances reflect both their love of this music and their skill in playing it. The Blue Tips Rhythm Revue is a perfect fit for events ranging from weddings to concerts and beyond.

FAQs

We offer bands for nearly every budget, starting around $2,000 and going up to $15,000+. Most dance bands range between $3,500 and $8,500.
Bands bring instruments and sound equipment for most weddings and events, covering up to several hundred guests. For larger events, additional sound support can be arranged for a fee or through a vendor you provide.
All bands provide basic lighting for their performance area, but this isn’t decor lighting for the whole space. Light stands typically feature a few white or colored LED or par cans. Some bands can adjust lighting to fit the event, or they can skip it if you’re working with a separate lighting vendor.
Special event bands charge a single fee for up to a 4-hour block, including breaks. They’ll play a preset playlist during breaks, scheduled around natural pauses like speeches or cake cutting. For a 4-hour event, bands need at least 45 minutes of break time, usually split into two 20-25 minute breaks. Some bands offer a three-hour no-break option and can add overtime for an extra fee.
Spring and fall Saturday events often book a year or more in advance, with popular dates typically securing bands 8-15 months ahead. Non-Saturday events book closer to the date, and we often help clients with shorter timelines (2-6 months) find great bands. Booking early increases your options for in-demand bands, so reach out soon!
