The Calhouns Are An Excellent Dance Band!
The Calhouns have this simple philosophy concerning dance music, if the floor is not full of dancers, something is wrong with the music! Just ask anyone who has hired The Calhouns and they will tell you that they keep the dance floor full all night long. The Calhouns also judge their performance by how many people are still around for the last dance of the evening. They usually retain 80% of the crowd until quitting time. That means more people, more fun, and potentially more profits for the club!
The Calhouns shun the practice of automatically playing louder, wilder music as the night goes on, unless that is what the dancers want. In this way, the dancers are ultimately in control of what music is presented to them.
During intermission times, Jim & Chris will take the time to greet all who are in attendance, and take requests. This personal approach is just good business sense!
The Calhouns don't
take extensive breaks and they keep the "dead time" between songs to an
absolute minimum.
Their music is always
performed at a comfortable volume.
The Calhouns mix their selections very carefully. In this way, their audience is always hearing a fresh style. This is essential for repeat customers. They change style, beat and tempo often. The Calhouns keep their dance music FUN!
