WE WORK HARD TO PROVIDE A MEMORABLE EVENT FOR YOU
Trust a company that has 5 star reviews since 1999
professional variety band
GUNPOWDER SOUP is one-of-a-kind, reputable, professional cover band in San Antonio Texas, playing a variety of cover songs for weddings, corporate events, conventions, fundraisers, parties, and large galas. Once we step on the stage, our aim is to kick off the party and get your guests on the dance floor right away. After performing for many years, we know which songs will flood the dance floor and which songs bring people to our crowd microphone. Most songs are performed back-to-back and clients have a choice in song selection for the event.
GUNPOWDER SOUP has been in the wedding and corporate business since 2010. We know how to make your event special plus we have won numerous awards from The Knot and Wedding Wire for outstanding service in the wedding industry.
COUNTRY, POP, CLASSIC ROCK 80s, 70s, 60s
The Band has three to four lead vocalists who specialize in different genres of music such as Top 40, Country, 80s, 70s, Oldies, Disco, and Latin. We try and duplicate the songs you know and love. Our country songs and vocals will sound country and the pop songs will not sound country. Our 80s and Classic Rock music will rock. GUNPOWDER SOUP starts the dinner set with country and easy listening songs. In the 2nd set, we play Disco, 80s, and sprinkle in Country songs. For the 3rd set, the dance floor is packed because of non-stop, back to back dance hits.
Clients and guests can request songs and if we know the song, GUNPOWDER SOUP will play it! If the event is a party without dinner or a “meet and greet” hour, we will start right away with our country two step and dance floor favorites.
ATTENTION TO DETAILS
In-ear monitors and talk-back mics are used to communicate between members on stage for song selection, walk-in/walk-off cues, emcee auctions closings, and change in schedule. GUNPOWDER SOUP takes extra measures to ensure all the details are finalized before the band arrives at the venue. The Band will contact the venue, electrical coordinators, planners, and wedding planners for scheduling and logistics.

“The band was absolutely amazing!!! They were hired for our corporate event in Austin and everyone loved them.They played to the crowd and were very accommodating when we asked to extend over our contract!
They know exactly how to engage an audience because everyone was up on their feet dancing and singing! If you need a well rounded, versatile, entertaining band this is a great choice.”
“Gunpowder Soup was one of the best decisions we made about my daughters wedding. They were great at communicating and completely professional. They made the wedding reception so much fun from start to finish!
Everyone was on the dance floor the whole time. Their vibe kept everyone so pumped up. I felt like no one left the event early! Absolutely fantastic!” Claudia T

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.

Drums, Bass, Electric Lead Guitar, Piano, Synthesizer, Acoustic Guitar. Since GUNPOWDER SOUP is multi-talented on many instruments, our players will use different instruments depending on the song.
