FAQ
The Davis Brothers Band will attempt to answer most common questions below.
How much do you charge?
Unfortunately, it is really difficult to give an indication of our charges
without knowing a bit more about your event. Various things can affect the cost
of hiring a band including the size and location of the venue, the length of
time you want us to play and the equipment we will need to bring.
Our priority is to give your guests the best possible experience and
to work within your budget wherever possible.

What areas do you cover?
The band is based in
Winnipeg, Manitoba so our most competitive rates will be for bookings in this
region. For venues more than 3 hours traveling time from Winnipeg, we will
charge a fee for the overnight accommodation of 3 people in addition to our
performance fee.

What venues will you play?
The band will perform at a wide variety of venues such as weddings, corporate
gigs, special occasion functions, retirement parties, year end parties, private
parties, music festivals, etc. The band will also
perform in marquees or outdoors, under cover, if the weather allows it. Where
the venue is more than 2 hours drive away from Winnipeg, the band may have to
make an additional charge.

How much space do you need?
We can squeeze ourselves onto a small stage if necessary. The larger the
stage, the more we can move around to get your guests excited and enjoying
themselves! Generally a stage 6.0m by 3.5m is adequate for our performance.

How much time do you need to set up?
Usually we need at 1-2 hours to set up the PA and sound check in advance of the
performance. We prefer to carrying out the sound-check before the arrival of
guests where possible.

a break or 3 shorter sets with 2 breaks.

Will I also need to hire a DJ?
We are happy to play a selection of continuous music that is mixed together

DJ in addition to the band.
