Truly an awesome band (Platinum). I think our wedding guests were shocked at the quality of this band. The dance floor was never not packed and the DJ they work with was great too. Literally no issues at all. The band had a fair price, were super easy to work/coordinate with and they even had a cool style on stage. Would book this band every time! YOU. WILL. NOT. REGRET. IT. – Lewis and Renee – Bishop’s Bay WI Aug 2018

“I don’t even like country, but Brady’s tunes are catchy as ****” – Brad Sheldon, ESPN.
Brady Lee is a triple threat: a songwriter, performer, and multi-instrumentalist. Growing up listening to Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, and Keith Urban, Brady’s sonic style is very much radio-ready, pop-infused anthems that showcase his soaring vocals and smooth guitar playing. Brady is a proven performer, from feature performances on state fair stages to slugging away in dive bars across the country. His songs have been played on independent radio stations across the world, and his latest release, On The Line, is taking TikTok by storm.
In 2022 alone, Brady has entertained more than 1 million people across the USA.

Having been influenced by the vibrant energy of bands like Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers; Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band; and Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit–Ben Harold & The Rising creates a unique yet familiar approach to roots-rock music. Their sound and style could fit in any number of eras yet remains modern and unique to the band. The combination of old-soul rock ‘n roll with Dylan-esque story-telling works seamlessly with the personalities that you see on stage—what you see and hear is what you get, and what you get, you will instantly love. Ben writing is quintessential American rock .

Jay Isaacson is a versatile pianist and singer who specializes in wedding ceremony and light background music.
Testimonials:
“I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed meeting and working with Jay! He is a talented musician and was so kind to let me visit him at his home to rehearse the song I wanted to sing at the Celebration of Life for my husband on September 19th. Jay was flexible, moving from our baby grand piano in the Wicker Bar for the first hour and then to his keyboard in the main dining room for the remainder. His selection of songs perfectly met my request and set the tone for the event. Because of Jay’s excellent accompaniment, I was able to sing my tribute to Tom perfectly, which meant so very much to me. In closing, I would highly recommend Jay’s services and hope to have another event where I can showcase his talents and perhaps sing a couple of other songs with him!” –Melva Breitenstein

Born in Germany, Marcya Daneille is a cross-genre artist who specializes in Jazz. Her repertoire of Jazz standards, inclusive of select tunes from the Motown era, is the palette she uses to tell stories that celebrate love, offer comfort during moments of loss and remind us of the hilarity that can be found in everyday life.
Marcya’s professional singing career began at the age of 15 when her high school choir director hired her to sing at local weddings. While completing a bachelor’s degree at Roosevelt University/Chicago Musical College, Marcya worked as a cantor for various parishes in the Chicago area and received her first contract with an opera company. Additionally, Marcya is the recipient of awards/acknowledgements from several music organizations including, Lakeview Music Society, N.A.T.S. (National Association of Teachers of Singing) and Bel Canto Chorus of Milwaukee.
After working and studying in England and Italy, Marcya relocated to New York City where she worked as a background vocalist, voice coach and session singer. Marcya has performed in New York City venues such as Miller Theater at Columbia University, Alice Tully Hall, Rose Hall (Jazz @ Lincoln Center), the Apollo Theater, Ashford and Simpson’s Sugar Bar and S.O.B.s. Midwest venues include Freedom Hall, the Art Institute of Chicago, Carleton College and Hancher Auditorium. Some of Marcya’s Wisconsin performance highlights include the Racine Theater, Jazz in the Park, Summer Sizzle Jazz Festival, Main Street Festival, Blu and Mason Street Grill in the Pfister Hotel, St. Kate the Arts Hotel, Musical Mainstage (Sunset Playhouse) and the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts as well as a host of private events. As a featured and/or supporting vocalist Marcya has shared the stage with artists such as jazz legends Wycliffe Gordon and Laurel Masse (former chanteuse with Manhattan Transfer), soul singers Gerald Levert and Vanessa Williams and opera legend Simon Estes. Marcya’s CD “Keeping it Simple” was produced by Wycliffe Gordon and features jazz phenom pianist Aaron Diehl.
