YOUR EVENT

We are perfectly suited to play your party or event!  Whether you're planning a "rock & roll" wedding, festival, corporate event, birthday party, family reunion, class reunion, outdoor event or concert, our music and high energy performance will keep ALL of your guests happy and on the dance floor all night long!

 We will give you a mix of music that everyone will enjoy.  We play a wide variety of music styles and have an extensive repertoire. That lets us tailor a performance to suit your needs.

 We can provide the following... 

Special Song Requests

Don't see a song on our song list that you must have played at your event?   With advance notice, we can prepare special request songs for you. 

Continuous Music

Mama's Stew not only gives you the best live party music possible, we can also provide you with music on CD, or MP3's  between sets.  If need be, we can also offer our DJ service for cocktail hours and between sets. This really keeps the party rocking!  With our DJ service, you can request a specific type of recorded music or special songs in advance, or just sit back and let us give you a great mix of music! 

Emcee Service 

We interact with the clientele and we know how to keep your event flowing.   If you need us,  we will take care of introductions and announcements too. 

Equipment

Mama's Stew owns it's own equipment.  We have several P.A. systems and will bring the proper system for the smallest setting to an outdoor festival.  The advantage is we are familiar with all of the equipment, know how to set it up and know how to use it.  Our equipment is top notch and our sound quality is not at the mercy of someone who is not experienced with us or the music we play.  We also do not have the added costs of renting which keeps our costs affordable.    

Lighting

Mama's Stew owns its own light system and uses it where appropriate. 

We've pretty much seen and have done it all.  We are extremely flexible and aim to please.  Need something we didn't list.  Let us know.  We have ways of making things happen.
