TO BE THE BEST COVER BAND, WE WORK HARD and PROVIDE a MEMORABLE SHOW.
LET US EARN YOUR TRUST

Professional Business Model with Party Attitude  

Why do we have all 5 star reviews?  Why do we see so many familiar faces on the dance floor?  Why do venues and planners suggest GUNPOWDER SOUP?

GUNPOWDER SOUP has been in business since 1999, therefore, WE ARE definitely doing something right.  We specialize in galas, weddings, fundraisers, conventions, and corporate events.  When you hire GUNPOWDER SOUP, you receive a fantastic performance, experience, and stressless planning.  Your guests will be entertained and the dance floor will stay packed the entire night.  Our talented members are energetic, play different instruments, and ready to put on a show.

Some clients and businesses think they want an all country band for their event, but in our experience, guests start requesting classic rock and 80s music after a full set of country.  You want a band that can sing pop without a country voice and vice versa.  

Our management will work with you to plan the perfect music set and let you pick the songs!  Some clients have changed their date because GUNPOWDER SOUP was booked for another event.  Prep early and contact us!  People get upset when they find out we are already booked, and then they ask for a Band like ours…there is none!  There is only one GUNPOWDER SOUP!  We are an unique band able to perform country and rock/pop songs with 3-4 LEAD VOCALISTS and multi background harmonies.

We are not a franchise and employ only a handful of outside performers when needed.  WE ARE NOT PART OF AN ENTERTAINMENT COMGLOMERATION.  What you see on our website is what you will receive on stage.   Make live music a priority and spend more for quality.   Hire the best fun you will have for entertainment!

CREDENTAILS

Marius and Jeanine are building a new “state of the art” recording studio and run a school, Audio Enginearing Institute, teaching audio engineering classes, audio-eng.com

Our gear has been assembled by our GRAMMY Award Winning Recording Engineer, Marius Perron, who has a MS in Electrical Engineering from The University of Texas. Jeanine Davis-Perron (owner) has a BS degree in Hospital Administration and stock trades during the week.

 

PERFORMANCE

For cocktail hour, we play MP3 music from our stage speakers, unless you hire an acoustic musician from our staff. During dinner, the Band will play low volume and slow to mid-tempo songs to accommodate conversations

After formalities, we will fill the dance floor with dancers, interact with guests off-stage, enlist singers on our crowd microphone. GUNPOWDER SOUP started tambourines and crowd mics on the dance floor and we continue this client favorite.

 

GPS BUSINESS MODEL

We have been engaging with guests since 1999 and are experts in the entertainment business. Detailed local female management and an A+ from the Better Business Bureau set us apart from other bands. Clients call and book directly through our Contact page and we generate our own contracts.

Important: GUNPOWDER SOUP carries general liability insurance for venues that require a one million dollar policy. The owner is always on site and manages the Band during the event.

 

INSTRUMENTATION

Drums, Bass, Electric Lead Guitar, Piano, Synthesizer, Acoustic Guitar, and Horn

If you want to hire a two or three piece horn section, let us know.  You will love the variety of three different lead vocalists and wall of harmonies. Our musicians are multi-talented on different instruments so we have a full sound depending on the instrumentation of each song.
