We hired Sherry Summerville and the Summerville Band to play at our wedding. Sherry sang all the vocals for the wedding and the rest of the band joined her for the reception. We had a 150 guest for a plated dinner/reception in the ball room at the Mission Mill. (Not gonna lie, it was fabulous). Sherry and her band were true professionals from start to finish. From song selection, arrangement they were very accommodating! They can sing and perform just about anything and any song. EVERY SINGLE band member was an amazing artist. But truly, Sherry Summerville stole the show. Simply put….she is a star. Don’t miss out on booking these amazing artists at any event. It will be a success!!!

What to Expect
Audiences can expect 6-8 highly talented and professional musicians to create a synergetic, high-energy, experienced, unforgettable performance.

The event organizers will collaborate closely with Sherry Summerville to design a performance that perfectly aligns with the event's vision and objectives. Sherry is a seasoned event planner with excellent organizational skills. All the band members are courteous and considerate, easy to work with and communicate effectively.
Summerville has professional sound equipment that amplifies the band's sound, blends and enhances the experience.
The band will need a minimum of one hour to set up the sound system, usually setting up two hours before the event. After the sound is set up, the band will require 15-20 minutes to perform a sound check.
The Summerville Band typically plays two to three 45-minute sets with 15-minute breaks between sets. The band can re-arrange that typical schedule to fit the event planner's needs.
It may take up to 45 minutes to fully break down the equipment and sound system after the event.
You can expect audiences to cherish their experience with Summerville enough to make you want to hire them again.
About
Sherry started her professional career by playing lead roles in musicals in Portland, Oregon. She was considered a triple threat because of her impressive alto voice, strong dance skills, and enthusiastic character portrayals.

On the main stage, Sherry wowed audiences with her ability to perform any genre, decade, or style of music. She also frequently played with the house jazz band at the Midnight Performances, where she captivated audiences with her excellent interpretation of the American Songbook.
Upon returning to Oregon, Sherry began singing in the vocal jazz trio - EUPHORIA. She would continue to sing throughout the Northwest with the group for ten years. They produced one album. Euphoria was honored to open for Mel Torme' at the Hult Center in Eugene, Oregon, towards the end of his career.
Sherry has performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival, Rotterdam, South Holland, and The Montreux Jazz.
Festival in Montreux, Switzerland. Additionally, she has performed at many festivals throughout the
Northwest, including the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival, The Cathedral Park Jazz Festival, and most recently the
