Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you didn't know you needed to ask before booking the best dang band of your life.
Who is Tributonic?
Tributonic is Southern California’s premiere high‑energy live band—built for weddings, corporate events, private parties. & anything that needs a serious dance floor. We’re not just hired guns showing up for the gig. We’re full‑time musicians, music nerds, & performance professionals who rehearse, show up with pro gear, & treat your event like the headline show it is.
What Kind of Events Does Tributonic Play?
We specialize in weddings, corporate events, private parties, festivals, and live band burlesque shows (yes, really). From classy to chaotic — if live music fits, we probably already love it.
What Makes Tributonic Different from Other Bands?
We’re a real band, not a bunch of random players tossed together for your event. We rehearse together. We laugh together. We build horn lines together. That chemistry shows up on stage — and on your dance floor.
Why the name Tributonic?
Because we’re the cure for boring corporate bands.
We pay tribute to the music that moves people — from Motown to modern hits — and we do it with tonic-level energy: bold, refreshing, & impossible to ignore.
Tributonic is what happens when killer musicianship meets serious party vibes. We honor the greats, but we’re not stuck in the past. We bring the music, the professionalism & we bring the house down.
How Many Musicians Are in Tributonic?
Our lineup is fully customizable:
Duo or trio (for cocktail hours or intimate vibes)
5- to 7-piece (perfect for most events)
Full 9- or 11-piece big band (horns, multiple vocalists, full rhythm section — the works)
You pick the vibe. We’ll scale the sound.

Our setlist spans over 1,000 songs across every genre:
Motown • Funk • Pop • Soul • Classic Rock • British Invasion • Jazz • Latin • Disco • R&B • Top 40 • Guilty Pleasures & Party Starters
We also take requests and love building custom playlists for every event. Need a Beyoncé-to-Billie-Eilish-to-Bon-Jovi moment? We got you.
Can You Learn A Special Song for Us?

Can You DJ During Band Breaks?

How Much Do you Charge?
Our pricing depends on the event type, band size, travel, and what services you need — but we promise it's always worth it.
