FREQUENT QUESTIONS
What kinds of events do you play?
From intimate weddings to global corporate events, Maggie Speaks does it all. We’ve played more high-end galas and fundraisers than any other Chicago band—and we understand the unique flow and needs of each type of event.
How many pieces are in the band?
Our core band has five musicians—including two lead vocalists—but we scale up or down to fit your event. From intimate acoustic sets to big bands with horns, strings, and even a rapper, we tailor the lineup to your vision. All of our events include a dedicated sound engineer to ensure a great sonic experience for our crowd.
How long does the band play?
As long as you need. Our most common show fills a 3 hour window but we can accommodate quick hits or marathon events. Add in ceremony music, cocktail jazz or background acoustic performers to set the mood.
What does the band wear to performances?
We dress to match your event. Whether it’s black-tie, upscale nightclub, or something more thematic, our look will complement the atmosphere you want to create.
What types of music do you play?
We cover everything from today’s hits all the way back to the birth of rock—and even earlier. Whether it’s packing the dance floor or curating a specialty set for a theme night, celebrity singer, or unique crowd, we’ve got the range and depth to make it work.
And the beauty of Maggie Speaks is you don’t have to pick one. Our depth and experience let us quickly switch from one feel to the next – moving from background to hype crew, swing ballad to EDM – whatever the event needs.
Can I pick the set list or request special songs?
Absolutely. Some clients give us must play or don’t play lists, others leave it entirely in our hands to keep the energy where they want it. We’re comfortable either way. Want a custom moment or special request? Just let us know. We’re here to make the night feel like yours.
Does the band travel?
Do we ever – destination weddings, corporate reward travel, product launches, conference parties – to date Maggie Speaks has performed in dozens of countries and we’re closing in on all 50 US states.
I've never booked a band before. Is it complicated?
It doesn’t have to be. We’re the experts—and we’ll guide you every step of the way. From your first inquiry to the final song, we’ll ask the right questions and offer recommendations to make sure your event runs smoothly and feels just right.
Can I choose my singers?
With Maggie Speaks, you get our most experienced performers and unmatched, on-the-fly flexibility. You can also add vocalists to dial in a specific style or sound.
Talk of the Town lets you hand-pick your core singers to match the exact vibe you’re serving.
Both groups share the same industry-leading infrastructure and training that built our decades-long reputation. If you’ve got your heart set on a particular vocalist, booking early is the best way to secure their availability.
