High Voltage is our classic rock String Quartet. They can play with or without amplification, just as a quartet or add drums/ keyboard/guitar/ bass to really rock out! Some of their repertoire is listed below. High Voltage was the featured group with the Broomfield Civic Orchestra last December for a concert entitled "Rockin’ The Holidays". This performance was sold out and the group received a standing ovation! They were also the featured group at the 2008 Icon Awards.

String Duo

Jazz Quartet

The Piano Trio is the most versitile of our small ensembles. Their styles include Classical, Jazz, Pop, Broadway, Waltzes and Tangos all with or without vocals. If there is no piano available, we will provide a keyboard.

If you are planning a smaller more intimate event or ceremony, you might want to consider the Violin/Cello Duo

Much of the quartet repertoire can be performed by the Duo - call for details.

A Jazz Trio or Quartet adds class to your event. Start with Piano, Bass, Drums, then add saxophone, guitar, vocals, or electric violin. You can also add horns for a "Big Band" sound. Our sound samples have vocals but we can provide just instrumental as well.

Guitar Solo and Ensemble

Harp Trio

Todd Teske, Tenor

The elegant Harp Trio (Harp, Violin, Cello) is one of our most popular groups.

In January 2010, they were the featured ensemble for the City of Broomfield Concert Series.

You can also hear them every December playing holiday music at McGuckins Hardware store in Boulder!

Todd Teske has been hailed as one of the country's finest interpreters of Baroque music. The Denver Post described his J.S. Bach St. Matthew Evangelist performance as "…world class… (he) brought a lieder singer's sensitivity to the role… one of the top ten performances of 1995…"

For a softer sound, hire a Guitar Solo, Duo or Trio. Our acoustic guitarists usually use a small amp so they can be heard especially when playing with other instruments.

Frequenty Asked Questions

Wedding Music Suggestion List

FAQ Do you have a minimum time requirement? We have a one hour minimum and can charge by the half-hour after the first hour, if needed. How do I know what pieces will work for the group I’m hiring? We include a consultation to help you with music selection and to discuss other details of your event. What do you need us to provide? We will need one armless chair for each musician. Also, for longer performances, food is greatly appreciated. Do you attend the wedding rehearsal? No- after playing ceremonies for 30 years, we feel comfortable watching and adjusting the timing as necessary. Rehearsals never have the same timing as the real thing so it doesn’t help us at all. If you still feel you want the group at the rehearsal, we would charge our regular rate. Will you accompany a vocalist? We have many wonderful, experienced vocalists we can provide who are used to singing with us. If you want us to accompany a vocalist that you provide, we will add 30 minutes to the contracted time so we can rehearse with them. They must be comfortable running through the song(s) once or twice right before the ceremony. And- they need to provide us with the sheet music (not a recording!) in the same key they will be singing it in. Can you provide a sound system? Our ensembles generally do not need to be amplified- even outside. If there is a vocalist that needs a microphone or we will be playing in a ballroom with 200-300 people talking, then we can provide a sound system for an additional fee. Do you perform outside? Yes, but the instruments can’t be in direct sun or in temperatures below 55 degrees. The covering can be a tent, or even the shade from a tree or building. If it starts to sprinkle during your ceremony and we are not sufficiently covered, we must put the instruments away immediately. What do you wear? We always wear concert black (tuxes/black dresses) unless you request something else. What do you charge? Please contact us for our rates. Tracy_atcmusic.com

The Trailriders

The Trailriders is an eclectic group of classically trained musicians who specialize in folk music of the American West. Originally formed in the 60's to provide entertainment for the famous Garden of the Gods Chuckwagon Dinners, the group has performed throughout the United States, toured Europe twice under the auspices of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and performed as special guests of President and Mrs. Gerald R. Ford. They have appeared with Bobby Goldsboro, Johnny Rodriguez, and Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass. They have a repertoire that ranges from songs of the Old West and bluegrass, to the more contemporary music of John Denver and the Oakridge Boys. Their toe-tapping show is a delight to audiences of all ages.

"Colorado Country" is a unique band combining both the old and new styles of Country and Western music into a presentation comprised of well known traditional and modern top-40 selections. Their instrumental and vocal skills blend to create an entertainment experience well suited for everyone's listening and dancing pleasure.

The band has shared the stage with such artists as Asleep at the Wheel, Lacy J. Dalton, Chris Ledoux, Dan Seals, Michael Martin Murphy and many more. "Colorado Country" won the 1994 Southern Colorado Battle of the Bands (the only year that the band entered the competition) and was awarded the opening slot for Willie Nelson, Diamond Rio, Confederate Railroad and John Michael Montgomery at the Country Jam USA. The band ha performed at the Colorado State Fair opening for Tracy Byrd, Gibson-Miller Band, The Marcy Brothers and Firefall.
