Booking a band for your wedding can mean running around town to multiple showcases, but you could make it easy on yourself, and head to the Bell House tonight to hear eight wedding bands that will forever erase those images of mediocre wedding singers playing the Macarena. The members of these bands are accomplished, gigging musicians who’ve performed with Jay-Z, David Byrne, AIR, Norah Jones, Steve Earle and more, and they cover everyone from Postal Service to Tom Petty to Toots and the Maytals. Joining them on stage will be emcee and marriage officiant Matt Levy of tour company The Levy’s Unique New York, and Delaney Barbecue, which now caters weddings, will tempt you off the dance floor with their mini brisket sandwiches. Get a $10 ticket in advance and check out the full lineup, including Red Hook Orchestra and Baby Soda Jazz Band, here.
