Galas and fundraisers: we fit your run of show

We follow your plan

Share the run of show with us so we can plan our sets around it. Let us know which parts call for music or quiet, and how loud each part should be. If the schedule looks tight anywhere, we’ll tell you before the event, not while it’s happening.

Soft acoustic set during cocktails and dinner

While guests find their seats and begin their meal, we play a stripped down acoustic set that people can talk over. Sonny switches to percussion instead of the full drum kit.

When you need the full band

Once the formal program ends, we can bring in the full band for dancing. You can also book us for the whole evening, dinner alone, or only the closing party.

We sit out the auction

Your auctioneer owns that segment. While it's going on we don't perform, and we keep our hands off the microphone.

Hire a licensed auctioneer if you haven’t hired one yet. In Texas it’s a licensed profession.

Our PA handles announcements

We already have the band's PA and microphones set up, so your host, presenters, and auctioneer can use them all night. You'll have one less vendor to coordinate, and everyone who uses a mic will come through the same system.

Black tie attire or costumes

We can wear black tie or perform in our racing suits. It’s your choice.

What we need from you

1. Your event schedule, even a preliminary version.
2. When acoustic music, the full band, and quiet periods are scheduled.
3. Who will be on the microphone: host, speakers, auctioneer.
4. The time the venue lets us load in, so we can have the sound ready before doors open.
5. Black tie or costumes.

Announcements and music between sets

Rik and Bob both handle the microphone, so announcements never hold up the music.

Our PA runs all night, not only during our sets. As guests arrive and between sets, we play recorded music through it, a playlist from a laptop. If you want more, Ricky Bobby DJ is a separate offering of Ricky Bobby Music that you can book together with the band in one booking.

You can pick the music, or tell us the mood and we’ll pick it. If you’ve hired your own DJ or host, they can use our system.
