FOR VENUES & PLANNERS

The band you don't have to manage

Everything you need to evaluate Hot Popsicle for your preferred vendor list, in one page: what we sound like, what we need from the room, and how we behave on site.

Add Us To Your Vendor List

See and hear the band

Sixty seconds is usually enough to know whether we fit your rooms.

Two configurations

Same band, same setlist, same standard. Pick the one that fits the room and the moment.

THE DUO

Keys & drums

Both players sing. Right for ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions where conversation matters, and rooms that can't give up much floor.

  • Smaller footprint and quieter load-in
  • Plays at conversation level on request
  • Full self-contained PA
THE TRIO

Keys, drums & sax

Adds saxophone and congas. This is the dance-floor configuration — the one to book when the room is expected to move.

  • Live horn, no backing-track brass
  • Built for receptions and party sets
  • Full self-contained PA

What working with us looks like

01

We answer the phone

Inquiries get a reply within a day or two, not a week. If we can't play a date, we say so immediately so you can move on.

02

We confirm before the day

Timeline, footprint, power, and volume get sorted in advance with you and your client. No surprises at load-in.

03

We stay out of the way

Quiet load-in, self-contained rig, no engineer to accommodate, and we're packed and gone on schedule.

Press kit

Photos and logo are free to use on your vendor pages, blog, or social posts — no permission needed, no credit required.

Let's get on your list

If you keep a preferred vendor list, we'd like to be on it. Tell us what you need from a band before you'll recommend one — insurance, references, a showcase, a site visit — and we'll get it to you.

Happy to come walk the room, meet your team, and see the space before we ever quote a client on it.
