About Downtime __________________________ Downtime

Downtime is a professional band in which each member has more than 10 years of performing experience. They play at weddings, corporate events and private parties. Being based out of St. Louis allows them to travel throughout the Midwest very easily. Our goal is to provide fun and professional musical entertainment of all genres to all audiences. With Downtime's wide variety of music, high energy, and quality sound, everyone will be sure to have a great time.

Downtime performs a vast assortment of music such as Pop, R&B, Motown, Soul, Oldies, Rock, Rhythm and Blues, Swing, Jazz and Big Band.

The variety of their comprehensive song list allows us to satisfy any audience. They are willing to learn, rehearse and perform up to two songs that can be included throughout the special night (such as the bride/groom first dance, father-daughter dance, etc.). Music will be provided during all band breaks to ensure continuous listening pleasure. The break music list can be collaboratively decided upon to supply the desired blend of musical diversity that best fits the special event. The band also offers a continuous band option where the band does not take a break. This can be requested for an additional cost. Emceeing adaptations will be made at the client's discretion, as well as band size, instrumentation and acoustical levels to accommodate any facility. Included will also be a meeting up to a month prior to your event with Jon. Dance lights are an option at the request of the client. The group's standard attire is a formal tuxedo for weddings and corporate parties, but casual wear is also available upon request. With the vast selection of options, Downtime guarantees complete satisfaction.

Downtime offers many different options for the variety band. Alterations to any of the following groups can be made to best fit any wedding reception or event.
