Partial Songlist for the Paul Vesco Bands and Orchestra
This list does not include many specialty songs such as our Broadway material, material written for the larger orchestra (18-pc. big band), some of our extended Latin repertoire, etc, etc. Because our repertoire is constantly growing and this list is only updated a few times a year, it is always a little out-of-date. If you don’t see a song you want, ask us and with a little bit of notice, we will see if the band can do it — and we usually do!

Note: Not every song is playable by every version of our band. For example, if we don’t have our horn section, certain big band songs may not be playable. Or if we don’t have two females, we couldn’t do “It’s Raining Men”. Or if we don’t have a female at all …. well, you get the picture.
ADDITIONAL Paul Vesco Band INFORMATION
Rider (additional requirements) that we will discuss:
1) Staging and stage size.
2) Electrical. This will vary, depending on what light and sound package we are bringing and can range from TWO 20-amp circuits on up to TEN 20-amp circuits, with 3-4 circuits being the most typical. Ask for exact specifications for your event.
3) You provide a meal for the band. Please, no box lunches. Our band arrives early to make sure we are ready to go long before your event begins and stays until we are packed up, typically making it a 8 to 10 hour day. You have several options: You can provide a hot meal, a hot buffett, vouchers for a coffee shop, a room service menu, or you can do a buyout and I will buy food for the band. When ordering the food or calculating the buyout option, it will be the number of performers PLUS up to two technicians (check with Paul for exact number at contract signing).
4) You pay for any parking fees at the venue for band vehicles, including a van and 12′ trailer. This is not common, but it does occasionally come up.
