Essence of Events, LLC

Music plays such an important role in any type of event. Whether you are planning a wedding, dinner party, fundraiser or corporate party, music helps you set the tone and mood you desire for your event . It can help relax you guests or get them moving on the dance floor.

This week we would like to feature a local artist and band on this week’s Music Monday blog. We think The Ethan Tucker Band based out of Olympia Washington would be the perfect addition to any occasion.

Ethan seamlessly combines reggae, jazz and blues to create an amazing musical experience for anyone listening. His music pulls you in and holds your attention, no matter what your music preference may usually be. We have seen him perform a number of times now, both with his band and solo, either way you will never be disappointed. His talent and stage presence are phenomenal.

 If you want to listen and enjoy his music for yourself, check him out on ReverbNation and iTunes. You can also look him up on Facebook and Myspace.

We strongly recommend you take a little time and listen to his last album entitled “Lost Between” and watch for his soon to be released new album “Misunderstood”. The first album will instantly make you a fan, and from what we’ve heard off of the new album, you will be more and more impressed with each new song!

"Celebrate good times, come on! "

Great party song right? Sure it is, but does that mean we have to listen to it at every party? Has there been nothing else since 1980?

Here at Essence of Events, LLC we think there have been plenty of great dance songs if you are looking for other options. Keep in mind that great music completely depends on the listener and the mood you are going for. Today we are just concentrating on dance music that gets your guests moving, and isn't tied to just music of this year.
