DBC (The Danny Bub Combo)

DBC is absolutely incredible and I would highly recommend them for any occasion! I cannot say enough good things. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, and the reception; DBC was the star of the show. My guests never left the dance floor. DBC made my wedding everything I could’ve hoped for and more! They are amazing!

The Danny Bub Combo was our 2nd vendor hired for our wedding, shortly following booking the venue. We knew we wanted a band, but we had to do a lot of research to do before picking one. We watched countless videos and checked out dozens of websites before even calling the groups to confirm their availability. We finally narrowed it down to two and the final selection was easy – Danny was personable, informative, and worked with us to get what we needed with a budget that made sense for both parties. We went with the 7-piece band that included the violinist during the ceremony and a saxophone special during the cocktail hour, and they did not disappoint. They were working the crowd, interacting with the tables, and just encouraging everyone to get up and have a great time. Amazing performers, great to work with, and a memorable experience for everyone!

Almost unanimously our guests said the favorite part of the day was the band – “the band was amazing” , “we loved how interactive they were”, “the band was dressed the part and sounded amazing.”

The Danny Bub Combo did a phenomenal job for our two night party! We received nothing but compliments from those attending both nights. The entire band was highly energetic and kept the dance floor packed all night long. They were very easy to work with and very professional. If you are looking for great live music, look no further than The Danny Bub Combo!

The Danny Bub Combo provided upbeat, fun, music that got people ages 25-65 up on the dance floor having a great time!! Excellent musicians with great personalities!

The Danny Bub Combo is simply amazing. They rock a party. We booked them after reviewing more than a dozen demo tapes from other bands. At the time I thought, “These guys are too good to be true. There’s got to be a gimmick.” There’s no gimmick. They are better than advertised and better in person. The brass instruments bring an entertaining dimension few other bands can match.

We hired the Danny Bub Combo for my wife’s birthday party. Our guests were ages 3 years to 70 years. Everyone said the band was one of the best they ever heard — and the party one of the best they had ever attended. The birthday girl was so happy and impressed, she just might keep me a few more years.

We can’t wait to hire the Danny Bub Combo for our next big celebration. I only hope we will be able to afford them. They are great entertainers and I’m sure they will be in high demand as the word gets out.

Can't express how much we enjoyed the Danny Bub Combo band at our wedding last month. All the guests raved about how amazing they were and everyone danced the night away! I would definitely hire them again!

I would give DBC 7 stars if it was an option as they absolutely CRUSHED our wedding on Dec. 10, 2022, in every way. We were fairly demanding clients and had a very specific vision for the music during our ceremony, at cocktail hour, during dinner and the reception, and for our after party. Danny (head of the band) was incredibly kind and patient with us, took note of all of our preferences and requests, and DELIVERED. Starting with the ceremony music, we had sent Danny a specific song list and Spotify versions to show how we wanted the songs to sound (we had violin, cello, and pianist from DBC). We also wanted the best man to play violin with DBC during the ceremony. Danny made it all happen and we were blown away by how the music sounded - it was even better than the Spotify versions. We also had a gospel choir surprise planned for the end of our ceremony, and asked DBC to coordinate playing the background music for the gospel choir to sing along to. Danny connected with the gospel choir and delivered an exceptional performance despite having no rehearsal with the gospel choir prior to the day of our wedding.

Danny played the saxophone during cocktail hour and it was perfect.

Moving on to the reception. First, I want to point out that we hadn't seen a lot of demo videos from DBC on their website or otherwise online, but they were recommended to us by a planner who had seen them perform. In other words, we were sort of going in a bit blind. We hired the 10 piece band and had Joey as our lead singer (with a second female singer) and HOLY SHIT did they deliver a performance of a lifetime. They played every song we asked them to, in the order we asked them to, and surprised us with songs we had requested but which they told us they didn't play. Every single band member was rocking out and appeared to be having the freaking time of their lives doing it. The horns and strings on this band are NEXT LEVEL - the violinist absolutely crushes and he and Danny (saxophone) got into the crowd multiple times. Our dance floor was packed for 4 hours straight, even during breaks.

There are also some noteworthy highlights - first, the groom surprised everyone by planning to play the drums to all the small things -- DBC let him use the drummers drum set and I (the bride) was on stage the whole time dancing and singing with the other band members. I then crowd surfed during the song, and the groom followed with a crowd surf session of his own right after. Then, DBC surprised us by playing We Will Rock You by Queen (which we'd asked them to play but they said they couldn't) and my brother who looks like Freddie Mercury got on stage and sang the whole song (followed by a crowd surf).

I don't even know what else to say other than this: we are super picky when it comes to bands, including because our wedding was the 10th wedding we attended this year and we'd seen a ton of top notch bands -- DBC'S PERFORMANCE WAS UNREAL (especially for the price!!). I cannot believe how insane they were and they made our wedding the most epic our friends had been to all year.

I picked The Danny Bub Combo for a corporate event that I planned and they were amazing! They had everyone dancing and having a good time. We enjoyed having them, thanks so much for a great time, would use again!

Danny and his band were absolutely fantastic! We booked them for our wedding reception and could not be happier that we selected them. Our guests kept telling us all night how great the band was. The musicians and MC were all so talented, energetic, and fun. They were able to accommodate all our song requests and made our first dance so special. Our guests had a blast dancing all night. Danny was also very professional and great to work with. We would absolutely recommend the Danny Bub Combo and would book them again for another special event.

If I could only describe this band in one word it would be AMAZING! My husband and I hired the DBC as the band for our wedding reception at Bon Appetit, and they were incredible! Danny was extremely professional and handled all communications perfectly. They had everybody up dancing the whole time, and we received so many compliments from guests about how great the band was. Everyone in the band is super talented - Danny is an awesome sax player and the lead singer has impressive range. Musical talent aside, they also put on a great show! At one point during the night, Danny and another band member got on the dance floor with their instruments and everyone loved it! These guys are really top-notch. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good band for their event, wedding or otherwise. I only wish that I could give them 10 stars instead of 5!

Awesome band!

We had DBC play for our company's cocktail event and they were amazing! Our clients loved their music and how fun they were! Very talented and professional. We will definitely use them again and I highly recommend DBC for your next event.

This band is as talented as they get, with each musician as expressive as the other with their instruments, and they are a very nice group of guys to boot! The atmosphere when they play is always enhanced and the wine seems to taste even better. They are definitely worth watching to the end, especially when they do solos. I had a great time with this band and will be going to see them again for sure!

This four-piece funky, jazz, pop band is one that you do not want to miss. The rhythm section starts with a funky bass player who plays fast-finger riffs that flow throughout the fretboard. Then joins in a drummer with an ability to play any pace or style seamlessly, perfect transitions and ska-like drum fills, who really knows how to bring the energy up. Factor in the keyboard player who helps accentuate the bass and add a fuller sound to the mix with melodic fills, knowing exactly what to play at the right time. Then finally top it off with the lead saxophonist, Danny Bub, who is like no other brass player I have ever seen live. He sets the mood right with some slow jazz and then when the band energy rises, he switches into difficult and melodic dance-enticing solos. The DBC plays funk, jazz, and unique version's of pop songs with the saxophone playing a very catchy rendition of the lead vocalist's melody. The band has great dynamics, rising and falling many times throughout each song, keeping the listener's ears happy and the dancing feet moving. Overall, The Danny Bub Combo is an outstanding four piece band with each musician as talented as the next and a cumulative sound that rocks!!!

The Danny Bub Combo played for hours non-stop. They played great music in so many different styles. I am usually not one for jazz but they really got me into it. They played pop songs that everybody knew and could recognize in a way that I had never heard before. Overall they were very professional and just fun! I highly recommend booking them.

everyone had the best time ..the music was fabulous for all ages loved the band and would recommend them to anyone

As a person who was nevery much into jazz or funk this wasnt a band I was particularly excited to see. After walking through the doors of a cigar longe in downtown Tampa I had been to a few times. I entered the John Rolfe lounge the experience was much changed from the dead somber mood that was usually so prevelant through the place. It was electrified people were dancing and having a wonderful time. This was of course because of the musical stylings of the Danny Bub combo. They shocked me with their performance, it wasnt the smooth slow experience I had expected but a rough rocky and payfull sound that makes the soul want to leap up out of your chest start swinging your hips like a rope bridge in a hurricane. They had introduced me to FUNK and I do not plan on ever going back. Thank you you wonderful StanKY funky people!
