The Coastal Breeze Band

The Coastal Breeze Band is a fun and interactive variety band from Columbia SC which features some of the regions most talented and reputable musicians. God has blessed us to be able to perform for great people all over the Southeast... and we love what we do!

Coastal Breeze is a true variety band that can perform dance music hits of many genres. We feature the best hits of Motown, Beach, Soul, Funk, Pop, Retro hits of the 70's, 80's, 90's, Disco, Country, Rock & Roll, Jazz, Swing, and Blues.

With our extensive musical library, Coastal Breeze works to develop custom musical play lists catered to each performance and each client. We will work with you to develop a custom program for your event, or you can leave it up to our experience to provide a great musical program for you.

We offer 3 fantastic lead vocalists featuring the vocals of Joey Hodge, Joe Miller, and Kristi Kirk Hood. We offer outstanding live musicians featuring some of the region's top musicians, Bryson Borgstedt, Kyle Whitlock, Chuck Campbell, Jay Jenny, and Joe Miller. We play live music only...(no pre-recorded tracks)! We feature fantastic backup vocals, superior soloists, a tight rhythm section, fabulous horns, superb arrangements, pro-gear, class, style, sophistication, and proper song selection from our extensive list of the most requested and popular dance and party songs ever recorded. Mix all of that with an experienced and talented band leader who understands crowd reaction and response, and you get the recipe for an outstanding first class band...The Coastal Breeze Band!

Coastal Breeze is one of the most sought after bands on the East coast and is the premier choice for live musical entertainment for wedding receptions, street dances, concerts corporate functions, festivals, parties, or anywhere there is a need for fantastic live music. Put our experience performing for 1000s of clients and events to work for you.

Coastal Breeze can play fantastic cocktail jazz and then rock the house with party and dance favorites to keep the dance floor full all night! We specialize in playing recognizable and popular songs that make people feel good and touch emotions, and we pride ourselves on playing with great musicality.... AND... without the "cheese" you get from many other bands and DJs. We don't need costumes, gimmicks, or cheesy choreography to do it right! Our formula is simple; we combine great music with great musicians... and the result is The Coastal Breeze Band!

We also pride ourselves on being able to learn new material for our clients as well as being flexible with our clients tastes. If a song is not currently on our list, we'd be happy to learn it if we don't already play it! And if you don't like certain songs or styles, we won't play them!

If you want great music played with class and style, a full dance floor, and an unforgettable time, there is only one choice... You must have Coastal Breeze!


TESTIMONIALS

Joe: Thanks so much for your e-mail. Everything was perfect for the rehearsal dinner including Coastal Breeze. So many people asked us about you that I believe you will be back in Augusta. So glad you had a good time as well. Your group added a festive ambiance to our entire evening that people feel even when they don't seem to be paying attention. Thank you for your attention to our expressed wishes on music selection and for sharing your very obvious musical gifts with us. The talent in your band is both natural and practiced giving a very professional performance which is greatly appreciated by our family. Thank you again for making Wilson and Anna's rehearsal evening so special.-- Terri Allgood

Coastal Breeze band is wonderful all around!! They helped make our wedding reception as much fun as it was. When our friends and family bring up what a great time they had at our wedding, Coastal Breeze is always mentioned!! I highly recommend them for any fun occasion!! -- Jessie

Joe, I have been meaning to email you since we got back from the honeymoon to tell you how much we enjoyed ya'll playing at the reception! It was perfect and so much fun! I've had a ton of people ask me about ya'll, as a matter of fact, a bride named Nicole Collins MIGHT be contacting you to play at her reception next year, she was in the crowd and loved you guys and has since emailed me for some information on you! Thanks for being so easy to work with, and for setting up the mic for the minister. I gave you guys very positive feedback on the website :-) Thanks again, and take care! -- Katie Robinson

Joe: You guys did a super job for our fundraiser! Everyone on the committee was very pleased with your performance and your band received nothing but positive comments from the crowd. We would like to book you to come again next year if the dates work out. They probably will not set a date until the spring/early summer. I'll give you a heads up when they do to see if your available and hopefully we can get that taken care of earlier if everything works out. Thanks again man, and let me know if you need anything! -- Ken W.

Coastal Breeze did an awesome job at our daughter’s wedding. They are very professional, play a wide selection of great music and a pleasure to work with. They truly are a talented group of musicians! The selection of the band was extremely important as we had a formal sit down dinner reception with all the frills! Coastal Breeze brought tears to my eyes as they played the father-daughter dance (one they learned special for the day).. They did a better job than the original artist! The guests are still “singing” their praises, as are our family and our daughter and her new husband! -- Susan Riley
 

Joe: I’ve gotten EXCELLENT comments from our employees and guests on the performance of Coastal Breeze at our Christmas Party last Friday! I just received confirmation from our CEO informing me to book Coastal Breeze for our Christmas Party next year! Again, thanks to you and your fellow band members for a wonderful evening and we look forward to working with you again next year. -- George B., Human Resources Director, Southern Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company
