Eric German and his band are fun, flexible and creative! Providing Latin music that will keep all of your guests on the dance floor and make them feel part of the show.
Weddings, parties, festivals, corporate, you name it!
It’s been a little more than a year since our wedding and people cannot stop talking about the best part of the wedding, Eric German and Orchestra.
Eric was wonderful, flexible, professional and, most importantly, incredibly talented. He provided us with lots of his time and accommodated every request we had. Our family is very particular about our Salsa, merengue and bachata requests, and Eric and Orchestra took the time to prepare and play all songs to perfection, we loved it!
As someone who has been to and hosted many parties with live Latin bands, Eric and Orchestra has been the best I have experience
I give them my highest and most sincere recommendation.
Overall, you will not be disappointed if you go with Eric, he will make your event memorable.

Eric and the members of his orchestra were such a pleasure to work with from the beginning stages of visioning. They were flexible and creative in helping us find a way to provide love Latin dance music for our intimate family wedding in Vermont. The band transformed the rustic space with their rhythms and synergy. We want them at all of our parties now! Thank you so much for your huge contribution to our very special day. N+E

Nathalie & Emily,
Thank you so much for your kind words. We had a blast! Everyone in your family was so genuinely nice and we fed off of their energy and great vibes. We are so happy for the both of you and wish you both nothing but the best! We are also happy that we were able to make your day even more special and greater than what it already was.
Blessings!

I hired Eric to record percussion on a track for a record I'm making. He arrived on time and prepared. He did one pass through and the engineer and I were totally happy with the result after just one take. Eric came in and listened, suggested a slightly different approach he could take, and went right back in and nailed it. And he was right, the new approach worked better. I could not have been more pleased with his ability and professionalism and now I have a go-to whenever I am looking for a percussionist! Highly recommended.
Response from Eric German & Orchestra:
