The Chris McGuire Band is a blend of all different sounds and styles. Each member of the group comes from a dramatically different musical background, which provides a vast array of musical insight and contribution. Each member of the group is classically trained from the best jazz school in the country: The University of North Texas. What makes the band members compatible is their love for quality, live music, regardless of the situation. Weddings, private parties, jazz clubs, outdoor festivals, rock concerts, bars, and corporate functions - The Chris McGuire Band has done it all. The band is capable of almost any style, in nearly every situation, and when you add a highly trained sound engineer and professional attitude, the band stands out above the rest.
