Emerald City was recently featured in People Magazine

We have been so blessed to perform at many weddings and events, and we recently performed at the celebrity wedding of Housewives of Dallas LeeAnne Locken and Rich Emberlin.  A People Magazine article had a mention of Emerald City Band and the performance.  Here is the quote from the article.  

“The ten-piece Dallas-based Emerald City Band provided non-stop energy, rocking the house and keeping the dance floor packed all night.

The band’s trumpeter and saxophonist weaved among the audience during the set, and during each of their solos, they drew cheers and fist pumps from both tiers of the venue.
