Drop Out Vegas

We provide an excellent live show filled with both original music and covers. We blurr the genres of pop, folk, rock, jazz, country, and alternative. We can tailor our set accordingly to the event as well. We are incredibly diverse with our sound, and our instrumentation, and can tailor that to the event. Our usual set up is piano, drums, bass, and guitar, or just drums/guitar and piano depending on the needs of the event. We offer a very uplifting and fun set with garunteed crowd participation, but are also very accustomed to playing wine bar events as well, and can do a more laid back set depending on the needs of the event.

Drop Out Vegas is musical influenced and inspired by a large variety of artists and genres. Some of the more notable influences would be Grouplove, The Killers, and early Maroon 5. Their sound is coupled with pop sensibility, true musicianship, and honest lyrics. Drop Out Vegas' lyrics come from a combination of real life experiences and clever world-play. Their biggest goal in their writing is to tell their personal stories in a fun, thoughtful, and relatable way.

Working with such notable names as Scott Jacoby, an incredibly talented Mix Engineer who has worked with Vampire Weekend, John Legend, and P!nk, and the renowned Emily Lazar of The Lodge, who has mastered for Paul McCartney, John Mayer, and many more notable artists, Drop Out Vegas is confident in their release of Syl•la•bles.

Skyler James is a Singer/Songwriter/Pianist based out of Houston TX, born in Nashville TN, and raised throughout much of the South. Inspired by his Grandmother, a life-long organist for the church, he developed a passion for music at a young age, specifically piano and singing. Skyler became seriously involved in music at the age of fifteen, when he started taking vocal and piano lessons from American Idol Top 20 Finalist, Wendy Taylor. At the age of sixteen, Skyler was introduced into an artist development program where he has been developed as a performer, artist, and songwriter. Over the course of his five years at the program, Skyler met Jason, and they started writing songs together. After years of writing and performing together, they decided to form the band Drop Out Vegas, and record their debut EP, Syl•la•bles.

Jason Bentch is a Multi-Instrumentalist/Songwriter/Producer from Houston TX. He developed a love for music in the fourth grade while watching the local high school's drum line perform at football games. Inspired, Jason set out to learn as much about music as he could, starting with piano and drums before branching out to other instruments. At the age of 17, Jason joined the artist development program where he would eventually meet Skyler, in hopes of bettering his songwriting. After several years of development, Skyler and Jason decided to start Drop Out Vegas in November of 2014.

We are open to any event, and have the equiptment to outfit any sized show. Sound system preferred.
