The Beehive Band

When booking with The Beehive Band, we want to make sure that we add just the right touch to your gathering by giving special attention to our roster, set list, attire, and more. We'd love to be able to book right off the bat, but we find that a better working relationship comes from talking through the event before "nailing things down," which we should be able to do within a few days.

Our musicians fly in and out of the hive as their family and work schedules allow. Sometimes a duet, sometimes a trio, sometimes more, our goal is to make beautiful harmonies for the masses on a fluid timeline. We love to perform anywhere people are gathered to enjoy each others' company; coffee houses, wine bars, art festivals, craft fairs, farmer's markets, back yards, and front porches are our sweet spots.

The more you can provide for us, the more cost-effective your event with us will be. Optimally, here's what we need:

- 10" wide x 8" deep performance space, sufficient to hold performers and instruments
- lighting with a span of control sufficient to light the performers, but also dimmable, if necessary
- access to the performance space 90 minutes prior to the performance (system set up, sound check, and rest period)
- a secure place to keep our belongings, or space adjacent to the performing area for us to keep our "stuff" in plain sight
- a PA system that is optimized for musicians, both vocal and instrumental (acoustic), including:
3-5 vocal mics including all necessary chords and hook-ups
2-4 acoustic guitar hook-ups, including DI boxes to balance signals
4 electrical plugs (extension bars are ok)
2 stage speakers sufficient to fill the space
2 feedback monitors
- a sound person to set up the system, optimize our sound at sound check, and monitor the system throughout the performance

If you are not able to provide the system, we can bring one and we will need:
- a performance space that is protected from the weather (indoors or covered)
- 15" wide x 8" deep performance space, sufficient to hold performers, instruments, and sound system
- ready access to 2 outlets (direct wall access within 15 feet of the performance space or 2 industrial power cords running to the performance space)
- the same as above for access to the space, etc.
