Frequently Asked Questions

  • There are three distinct criteria that make The Silver Alchemist stand out:

    1. We are a boutique compilation of entertainers. This allows us to match the best talent to the client’s musical preferences while maintaining the familiarity and flow of a tight-knit band.

    2. We deliver pristine Top 40. While some bands have wonderful musicians for classic genres like rock and funk, clients often feel torn between a band and a DJ if they want a lot of Current Top 40. However, our team is dedicated to digital production that can offer the polished sound of today with the energy and engagement of a live band.

    3. We are excited to celebrate with you! From the moment we begin consulting until the day of your event, our goal is to dream up and facilitate fun-filled musical memories.

  • Our current core of musicians and singers is made up of an exclusive inner circle of trusted professionals that have toured with some of the biggest names regionally and nationally. And while we individually perform with various artists, we only book events when most core band members are available. This ensures consistently high-caliber performances that other collectives cannot match.

    We also have an extended family of collaborators we pull from for specific instrumentation or genre needs. We even team up with original music artists and performers in our network! This allows us to deliver creativity, durability, and a fresh approach to each event.

  • Yes! We offer solo musicians, duos, trios, and more. You can list these items in the consultation form and we will propose customized recommendations.

  • Absolutely. We can arrange for various types of events, band sizes, themed parties, backing music, and more.

  • Booking 9-12 months ahead of time will better ensure our availability. But we always welcome later inquiries and will accommodate if at all possible.

  • After you submit the consultation form, we will propose customized package quotes for your event needs. Once you select a package, we will write up a contract and request a deposit. The booking is confirmed once your signed contract and deposit have been received.

  • During consultation, we will ask about the client’s favorite genres, songs, and artists as well as for any material they dislike or do not want performed. From there, our music directors build cohesive sets to match the client’s preferences and keep the dance floor full all night long.

    We will learn up to three new songs per event but can also take additional DJ requests during the band breaks!

  • Yes! We love to travel and bring the ultimate A-team.

    Pricing and quotes will include flight and lodging expenses.

  • For local and regional events, we provide the sound system and lighting. For flight destination events, a local audio & lighting company would need to be hired separately.

    If you need rental recommendations, please reach out and we will let you know if we have a partner in our network.

  • Yes. We always have an experienced and personable MC available for full band packages.

  • Yes! While our standard Reception format offers three 60-minute sets, continuous live music with rotating musicians can be arranged for a higher fee.

  • Some clients may want the band to have typical “rock star” denim and leather club attire while others prefer much more formal wear. The band is happy to follow attire requests.
