The Addison offers solo and ensemble music for wedding ceremonies and special occasions.
The Addison is based in Vermont and is willing to travel to the Adirondacks and within New England. The ensemble can be comprised of a classically trained string quartet ready to play Beethoven String Quartets to a jazz trio ready to play your favorite pop songs and jazz standards for your cocktail party to an arrangement of Pachelbel’s Canon for guitar and violin for the ceremony.
We are happy to play indoors or outside as long as we are under a tent if it is precipitating or above 80 degrees. Our fingers are too cold to play for more than a few minutes if it below 60 degrees outside. We generally don’t need amplification to play, but we can amplify if required. We play classical, soul, pop, bluegrass, you name it, we love to play and we are adventurous professional musicians.
Below are some examples of music The Addison has recently offered for weddings. We are happy to arrange and play your favorite songs as well as selections from the list below.
