Acoustic Duo + Violin & Bass: four of us, still acoustic, and a sound big enough that guests at the back turn around. Two voices in harmony, a violin soaring above them, and a double bass holding the ground beneath it all.
Many Red Soda musicians have performed on some of the world’s biggest stages alongside internationally renowned artists. Today, they bring that same experience, professionalism and passion to weddings and events across Boston.
It's a real band, minus the drums, and our fullest acoustic sound. Each of us adds a layer:
The result is the warmth of strings with the songs of a modern band. "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran sounds lush. "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen gets the harmonies it deserves. It suits medium and larger weddings, and bigger spaces where a duo might feel small.
Four of us play a prelude as guests arrive, and it sounds like an occasion from the first guest in. Then we perform your processional, the bass and harmonies swelling as you walk, and your recessional.
Each moment can be sung by one voice, sung as a duet, or played as an instrumental on violin. You choose, and every song is played the way you've always heard it in your head.
Our biggest acoustic sound, and a ceremony that feels full from the first harmony to the last note.
The Acoustic Duo + Violin & Bass starts from $1,350 in Boston and across New England. The price you see in the Package Builder is the price you pay.
Yes. This is where the four of us shine through cocktail hour and dinner. It's relaxed enough for conversation and full enough to fill a large room or a long courtyard.
Want dancing after dinner? Many couples book this band for the ceremony, then a dance band for the reception. We play you down the aisle, then we're the ones getting your guests dancing that night. The Five-Piece Band also has two singers, so you keep that two-voice sound all night.
The Five-Piece Band starts from $4,700 for your five-hour reception.
Start with the singers you love in the Package Builder, and we build the band around them with musicians we play weddings with every weekend. Your Band Manager confirms your singers are available.
All four of us are full-time and degree-qualified, many from Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory, and some of us have performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

10 ceremony music options
"Four musicians including a singer on guitar or piano, a second vocalist, violin and bass create beautiful harmonies with the warmth of live strings throughout every song. One of our richest and most immersive musical experiences. Light amplification included."
COUPLES SAY OUR STRINGS AND ACOUSTIC DUO MADE EVERY MOMENT A DREAM
“I just wanted to say a BIG BIG GIANT thank you. You were incredible. You made last night an absolute dream. We were so, so lucky to have you there for us on our big day. It was an utterly perfect evening.”

The Acoustic Duo + Violin & Bass starts from $1,350 in Boston. Travel within about 18 miles of Boston is included. Ferries, accommodation and paid parking are added when needed, and your Band Manager tells you first. Ceremony plus reception gets the package discount automatically.
Four musicians: two singers (one plays acoustic guitar), a violinist and a double bass player. The voices carry your songs, the violin soars through the solos and instrumental moments, and the double bass gives everything a floor to stand on.
Yes. It's our fullest acoustic option and suits medium and larger weddings, with enough sound to fill a big room or a long courtyard. We bring our own sound system for the voices, so every word carries to the back row without it ever feeling loud.
Not really. It's built for ceremonies, cocktail hour and dinner, where it sets the perfect vibe. For dancing, add a dance band or a DJ combo for the reception. The Five-Piece Band keeps two singers, so the voices your guests loved at the ceremony can carry them onto the dance floor.
Not much. We don't need a stage, and four of us standing with a guitar, a violin and a double bass fit beautifully into almost any room. We do need power nearby: a power outlet within 10 feet. Your Band Manager confirms the exact spot with your venue.
Yes. Violin and double bass can't play in rain, cold or storms, so give us a covered spot and plan an indoor backup. Four acoustic musicians under a tree is one of our favorite ways to play a ceremony. It's full enough for a long lawn or a big courtyard, with the harmonies carrying to the back row, and we don't need a stage, so almost any spot your venue suggests will work.
Yes. Violin and double bass were born in rooms like this, and the harmonies ring right up into the roof. Four of us play as your guests arrive, so it sounds like an occasion from the first guest in, then your entrance and your walk back out together. Hymns work beautifully, and so does "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, with two voices in harmony and the bass underneath.
