When the party gets going, leave it to medleys and mashups to bring the magic. Keeping the crowd on their toes, and keeping the dance floor packed is mission number one. Fitting the best party songs of the past 60 years into one evening is a tall task, but medleys, mashups and a little musicianship make it possible.
They Go Together Like Peas and Carrots
It is no secret that many songs within a genre or decade will share common nuances like the contagious shuffle beat of beach music, the powerful “four on the floor” dance beat of the disco era, or huge synthy sounds of the 80s. The Rising Tide has weaved together some pretty amazing sequences of songs that keep the energy in the room at an 11 while paying homage to the artists behind the songs.
Beach Music
Life on the carolina coast has made us absolute aficionados of beach music. We typically get the chance serve up a second helping of shag dancing tunes that take listeners down memory lane of boardwalks and long summer nights on the coast. Our beach music medley takes dancers through the golden era of music from The Temptations, The Tymes, Chairmen of the Board, the Tams and The Drifters. We typically play timeless beach tunes until the shag dancers need to refill their libations.
Disco Dance and Funk
Lighting the fuse on our Disco, Dance and Funk Medley, takes the night through the decade of grooving and moving to artists like KC and the Sunshine Band, Chic, Rick James, Bee Gee’s, Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor. The contagious downbeat, rhythmic guitar and funky bass quickly make the dance floor the center of attention.
Many Medleys
Look out for our synth-heavy 80’s medley, our essential 90’s medley, or catch a rare glimpse of our Disney medley (in the works) that is sure to bring a smile at the right event.
Queen of All
The reigning Queen of our medley playbook is our bold and captivating Queen medley. Careening through the years of the legendary band’s top hits with musical precision and vocal prowess, this medley typically puts an exclamation point on the evening as the Queen fans sing along word for word and relive the lyrics of Mr. Mercury.
When deciding on a band your your next event, look for one that delivers song after song with seamless transitions and continuous energy that elevates the evening.
