A Flexible Lineup Built for Your Event

When you book the NashTones for an event in Hendersonville, you start with a five-piece ensemble that includes vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and keys, which is enough to deliver a full, layered sound for most venues and guest lists. If you want a fuller sound or a specific style that benefits from brass, the band can add horns or additional instruments to match the tone of your event, whether that means a jazzy cocktail hour or a high-energy dance set with a horn section backing funk and soul classics.

After the performance, guests typically comment on how much time they spent on the dance floor and how natural the transitions felt between songs and segments of the evening. The band works directly with you ahead of time to build a setlist that reflects your tastes, avoids songs you do not want played, and includes any special requests for key moments like first dances, parent dances, or milestone toasts.

The band arrives with their own sound equipment and handles setup and breakdown, so you do not need to coordinate separately with an audio vendor unless your venue has specific technical requirements. The NashTones focus on reading the crowd and adjusting volume, tempo, and song selection in real time to keep the energy where you want it without overpowering conversation or making guests feel like they have to shout to be heard during dinner.
