How PRO Wedding Bands Work? | Doing That

Ever since I first started playing bass I have played in many wedding bands. My first opportunities being in family-members weddings and eventually traveling with professional wedding bands, traveling around the country.
With playing with PRO wedding musicians, I learned how crucial these events are and how it isn't as easy as just playing songs and having a good time. Being a part of a professional wedding band you are carrying the weight of experience that people will go back to for a lifetime.
So today, we are going behind the scenes with a PRO wedding band I occasionally play with called the "The Nashville Wedding Band".

I really love the "Doing That" series on this channel. I love how one feels immersed into the experience and travels, and also shows what it's like to be a pro musician... Keep it up!

[@queencitymassacreofficial7657]

WHOA!!! I thought i recognized Zach! My band toured with his back in 2015, and he and his incredible family even took us in when our van broke down in Nashville! Keep rocking Zach! -Pat from Sanctify

[@Jojo.255]

More! MORE WE NEED MORE VIDEOS BRO! Cant get this great content anywhere else!

[@frankieg7276]

Good stuff... thank you for sharing to us musicians trying to figure all this out!

[@Nostaljack]

LOVE stuff like this. I've lived this in a slightly different way (open mic night sound engineer/singer to get people going) so it's really relatable.

[@XCLent0]

Your videos are amazing. The behind the scenes aspect is very informative and beneficial to musicians. Thank you.

[@simonphoenix9475]

Insightful. Thanks for sharing. Cheers and well done!

[@user-xc9sj7cd3x]

W love how the video turned out

[@jamesrichardson3322]

Let's do more of this videos with the band, a series!!

[@tjdcjfah]

항상 잘 보고있어요^^ 감사합니다.

[@TrulahMusic]

Some real good times. Great work on this, Travis!

[@TravisDykes]

My favorite!

[@victorcurtis6400]

As a professional photographer I will NOT shoot weddings. However as a beginner bass player my goal is to get good enough to play in a bad wedding band 🤓

[@XCLent0]

Why not? I think I already know, just want to make sure...thanks.

[@zsdad2139]

Wish the bandmates would snatch the camera and get some B-roll of you on the bass.

[@thomaswalker8790]

Guess it's kinda like a rollercoaster ride for you all and Trulah's pretty cool too

[@onmyway5674]

We need more this type of video ❤️

[@freefrombondage3028]

Trula u'r mine i mean u'r my favorite 😁🌹

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good stuff

[@shaundfg5737]

Love these type of videos

[@theycallmeaflat]

All of you guys in the van said it’s a lot. I play in a pro wedding band and it’s pretty fun and simple. A fee required songs , charted out, the rest is basic. I play weddings all the time. Is that the difference?

[@joebarkan]

Good video, thanks. But, I'm confused about why you needed to learn 80 unique songs for these two weddings. In my wedding band experience, somewhere between 75% to 95% of the songs are the same songs the bands (or the individual musicians) had played at earlier weddings. So, unless this is the first time the band (or the musicians playing) have played a wedding, they should know most of the songs going in. Even if the musicians have never played a wedding (or similar party) before, you still wouldn't need 40 unique songs for each of 2 back-to-back weddings. [Edit: Unless you're letting the clients program the entire song/set list -- which would be... uhhh.. interesting -- and expensive!]

[@JulianFernandez]

great stuff. thanks, man!

[@leigoniervargascespedes6526]

Travis eres una bendición no hablo inglés pero te sigo y e aprendido cosas importantes contigo amado maestro del bajo de tu sencillez un abrazo grande

[@jasminduncanson2520]

[@johnschuster3367]

Ok i know it's you trulah the best in the band

[@ptmich333]

Love the video Travis! I can appreciate what it takes to be in a wedding band, as I'm in one as well! Question: are you and the guitar player going DI (no amps on stage)? If so, what rig is the guitar player using? Thanks!

[@josuastangl7140]

Kemper Stage it seems

[@fariskebede7415]

You!! My fav

[@GeroLubovnik]

What hotel was this happening at?

[@marvelletyson6581]

Hey, did I just notice Trulah??

[@joekrim6557]

I thought i was doing good learning new divide i need to know and losing my religion over the course of a week on electric bass 😳

[@nazariteluke8047]

Trula is such a person, what a nice friend you have Thanks for this too, smiled all through 🤍🕊️
