Booking FAQ

Questions people ask before they book

Can SHADES play lounges or restaurants in NYC?

Yes. SHADES is built for live rooms and can adapt to lounges, restaurants, bars, rooftops, and similar venue setups across NYC and the tri-state area.

Can I book a smaller lineup?

Yes. The lineup can be adjusted based on the event, and vocalists or instrumentalists can be booked separately when the room or budget calls for it.

Do you travel outside Manhattan?

Yes. The current service area is the NYC tri-state region, so the band can work beyond Manhattan depending on the event and logistics.

How long is a typical set?

A standard set runs 45 minutes to 1 hour, with up to 2 hours available when the event needs a longer performance window.
