We Are Rated Fresh
And we live for the opportunity to turn great events into unforgettable ones
Who We Are
We’re a young(ish) band full of fun, infectious energy on stage, and we’re professional and dialed in on making sure every single detail is perfect off of it.
We show up prepared, locked in, and fully present - every time - with the same core musicians who’ve spent 10 years refining our act together to create the most memorable night of our clients’ and their guests’ lives.
Never boring, rarely predictable, always mixing in something Fresh with tried and true classics that we know will get the room jumping.

Who we’re not
We’re not backed by a large agency that inflates booking fees and cycles musicians from night to night.
While there are many talented players in those bands and companies, too often they lead to higher costs for clients, band burnout, and an overall product that lacks chemistry.
Rated Fresh is built around a genuine love of music and a hands-on approach - keeping our band close to our clients so every event feels personal, intentional, and fully cared for - because it is.

TESTIMONIALS
“We stumbled upon Rated Fresh three months before our fully planned wedding and knew we needed them to be part of our day! We had previously been hesitant to book a band but changed our minds when we heard all of our favorite sing alongs performed with the energy that only this group can bring! Not only are they incredibly impressive musically, they had our dance floor buzzing all night. Our guests loved them so much that two couples have booked them for their upcoming weddings. Our friends and family still rave about them over a year later! Rated Fresh worked with us to create the set list of our dreams and exceeded every expectation. We can safely say they were a highlight of our wedding - our only regret is that we can’t do it all over again!”

“Immediately after getting engaged, booking Rated Fresh was at the top of our to do list. And wow, did they bring it. The energy was through the roof from start to finish — they kept the dance floor packed all night.
They played everything from Bruce Springsteen to Pink Pony Club, crushing it with bangers like Mr Brightside and Year 3000 along the way. There was something for everyone, and they nailed every song. The coolest part for us was that they learned our wedding song and somehow played it even better than the original.
Bryan and Tim were awesome to work with — super communicative, extremely organized, and always one step ahead. From the planning stages to the night itself, everything was handled seamlessly and we never had to second-guess a thing.
If you want your guests to talk non stop about how much fun your wedding was, Rated Fresh is the only option.”
