Andrew Thielen Big Band

Artist ID: 11214

From swing to rock to disco tunes and Motown classics, the Andrew Thielen Big Band plays your favorite style of music and gets everyone partying on the dance floor.

This fantastic band has been the band of choice for Planet Hollywood, the House of Blues, Hilton Head, the Greenbrier, Ritz Carlton, Charleston Place, the Kentucky Derby gala, a PBS TV show and other North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessey events. Along with being one of the most popular wedding bands in the Southeast, The Andrew Thielen Big Band is perfect for fund raisers, concerts in the park, arts councils or corporate conventions and events.

Did you know 'American Idol' and 'Dancing With The Stars' both use big bands? Why? Because it makes all music sound great. That is why both these shows sound and feel so 'alive and exciting.' The Andrew Thielen Big Band has the same feel. Musicians give dance music energy. We present numerous singers and styles of music to keep everyone jumping, rocking, swinging, ballroom dancing, and getting close with the slow dances too.

The Andrew Thielen band was fabulous. Everyone was asking about them and wanted to know where they were from. I almost wish I had another daughter so we can have another wedding!!!!! I would highly recommend them.

Hello Andrew - Thank you so much for a wonderful performance at our wedding reception! Even without much direction the song selection was perfect. I'm glad I trusted your judgment with that, you really knew how to get our crowd hoppin'! We were worried that people would be shy and slow to start dancing, but the dance floor was immediately packed! One of my personal favorite moments was when the brass section of your band came out onto the stage for their first song after dinner. What an amazing sound!! We loved all the entertainment you added in as well. Everyone absolutely loved when you had the bride and her bridesmaids dancing and singing on the stage! It was so good it looked rehearsed! The band had great energy all night long (thanks for the encore song!), and that's just what we were looking for. Several people have told us that our wedding was one of the best they've ever attended and we feel that we owe that mostly to the Andrew Thielen Big Band! It truly made our event legendary!

We will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a great band! - Thanks again!
