This all star group was assembled in February of 2009 gathering the top musicians from several of the best groups in the southeast to form the supergroup that is Alternate Take. The secret formula is three part harmony, when mixed with instrumental virtuosity, you get a home run performance.

This group has been together for 3 years and have done more than 200 shows together. We have excellent chemistry, talent, and vocal harmony. Plus, we're very entertaining when interacting with the crowd, we always have a good time and put on a great show.
Music is subjective skill, few bands have the skill and talent to play any style effectively like Charlotte, North Carolina's Alternate Take. Alternate Take is a group of four talented musicians that have joined forces to make one of the most impressive bands on the east coast. Each member has played professionally since our teen years and educational backgrounds include music degrees and Masters degrees. Two of us are perfect pitch, and our rhythmic pocket is ideal for getting people to dance. Not only are we well versed in rock, country, r&b, soul, southern rock, and contemporary party and dance music; but also original, jazz, and classical music. Everyone in this band is a full-time professional musician who loves to entertain.
This is not just your typical wedding or cover band, this group of singer/musicians can write or perform in virtually any style of music. Our three part harmonies separate us from other groups with three distinct musicians singing lead vocals with uniquely different, yet complimentary styles. If there is a song you want performed, Alternate Take can do it(within reason, we're artists). Some of the stages we have played include: Jazz Fest of New Orleans, the Cotton Club of New York, Carnegie Hall, Bobcats Arena, Panther Stadium, to name a few. We've shared the stage with national acts like Ellis Marsalis, Bonnie Raitt, Hootie and the Blowfish, Archie Bell, Starship, Michael Brecker, and many others, but mentioning names is non-musical.
Alternate Take knows how to adjust the music we play to fit the crowd. One of the advantages of knowing so many songs and styles is the ability to modify the performance to the mood and occasion at hand. Corporate events, private parties, and festivals are performed with energy, enthusiasm, and style. We customize our shows according to the people we play for; versatility is one of our strongest attributes. We've played a show for a jazz and R&B club one night; then played for a distinguished helicopter pilot's wedding the next, and both crowds loved us.
Although each wedding day is unique, the experience of doing so many helps us to be prepared for anything that might happen. We are all professionals and enjoy doing this type of performance. Our sound system is immaculate and we have learned what music gets people dancing, live or dj. When you hire Alternate Take, your hiring the best 4 piece band in the southeast.
