Band Event Fun Greenville John M. Hoyt Live Entertainment Reception Wedding

Have you booked a band for your Greenville wedding reception yet?

It’s already March, and so many weddings are planned, right down the last detail. The dresses have been purchased months in advance, the cake and catering have been finalized, and even the groomsmen have been fitted for their tuxes.

But have you picked a band yet? You’re not using an iPod on shuffle are you? Or some DJ who was suggested by a friend of a friend?

If you have decided that prerecorded music is for you, at least insure you have a great sound system. Rent one from one of the reputable places around the Upstate that has a subwoofer to make the bass actually something you feel, instead of just hear. That will be certain to help a little.

However, nothing, absolutely nothing, takes the place of a live entertainment! A band brings the energy level up! Especially a group that has a wide variety of styles that will appeal to a broad majority of your attendees.

Hot As A Pepper is such a band! We play a fun and funky mix of dance and rock, with some good old Carolina Beach, country, and even a reggae tune thrown in for good measure.

Our upbeat rock from the past and present is sure to move the younger crowd, while disco, beach and funk will get just about everyone else. For those who prefer country, yes, we can do a couple tunes for them too.

If you would like more information about how Hot As A Pepper can spice up your wedding reception, please give us a call at 864-979-1224 or use the contact form on our website!

Our rates are affordable, our show is exactly what you are looking for, that is, if you want something unique and fun!

It’s Party Time! Book a band – TODAY!

It's Party Time!
It’s Party Time!

IT’S PARTY TIME!

This is the time of year where parties abound! Whether it be for the occasion of a Family reunion of some sort, a sports team’s important game or the three biggest holidays of the year; there are more than your fair share of reasons to host an event that will certainly uplift everybody’s spirits and enhance the mood for all.

Now, I can’t begin to tell you what kind of food to serve as each type of soirée is suited best by a different type of menu. I can’t tell you who to invite because lets face it… only you know who you want there.

Neither can I tell you where you should have it. Do you have your own party barn? Back 40? Favorite watering hole? Perhaps you’d consider renting out a site.

Is this thing gonna be formal? Themed? What’s it’s purpose? Do we bring Dates or will cousins suffice?

I gotta tell you… You sure have stirred a lot of questions and I’ve only got one answer: Hot As A Pepper is the band you need to call! Between the professionalism of the musicians and the experience there isn’t anything this group of guys hasn’t seen. We can play it… Make it FUN… AND ensure that the poor soul that decides to miss your event will be sorry!

Contact us for the times and dates you have in mind before someone else does!! ….namely that person whom you weren’t going to invite – you think they’d invite you to their’s???

We play parties in the Greenville South Carolina area and all over the Upstate. If your event is big enough, we’ll travel to you!

Band Fun Greenville Hot As A Pepper John M. Hoyt Music Party Upstate

Selection of players continues for the fun & funky Upstate party band, Hot As A Pepper… Drummers and Guitarists are up this week!

The ad on Craigslist keeps bringing new people who are interested in joining up with a fun and funky Upstate band even though it is has been nearly a week since the original posting.

One thing is becoming super clear, there are more drummers than you can shake a stick at! And there are a lot of talented guitarists too, but only a few singers have come forward.

Guitarists who can sing lead are also either involved in other bands, or maybe not seeing the facebook or Craigslist posting.  If you are a guitarist who is a lead vocalist and you are wanting a job, then get with me please.

Talks continue with the next two drummers to check out and three guitarists. These 5 individuals are very interesting as they all have something outstanding about them. Several have played in successful bands, with somewhat similar styles.

IF you have contacted me and for some reason I have never contacted you back – chances are good that I missed your message, please try again. If you contacted me and we spoke but have not spoken again, let me assure you, everyone is getting put into a “database” and I will indeed get back with you at some point. Feel free to reach out to me again if you feel you left something out in our first conversation too.

John – Still the world’s loneliest bass player in a most fun “band”!
