Meet The Band

The Ultimate Contemporary Chicago wedding band…
that really isn’t a wedding band.

It’s all about the groove… Serious dance grooves that pack the dance floor, from the moment the doors open and your guests enter the room, to the climax of an amazing and unforgettable evening… The Bradley Young Orchestra™ is simply the best Chicago Wedding Band.

There are wedding bands, and there are real bands.

The Bradley Young Orchestra is proud that they have always been acknowledged as a real band. The Bradley Young Orchestra continues to set the bar for brides and grooms that truly desire musical entertainment for their celebration to be of an extraordinarily high caliber.

While many brides and grooms feel that they are lost in the shuffle working with a big music booking agency, Bradley Young Entertainment is dedicated to creating a singular experience for their brides and grooms. Bradley Young Entertainment is not a booking agency. The Bradley Young Orchestra is one of a kind – a unique gem, and they are exclusively available for one engagement per evening.

The Bradley Young Orchestra is revered by all who really know the music and special event industry… Chicago Event Planners, Chicago Hotel catering directors, Chicago Country Club managers, Benefit Chairs of Major Chicago Fund Raisers… even musicians from other well known orchestras acknowledge that the Bradley Young Orchestra is clearly in a class by itself. The Bradley Young Orchestra is definitely not the “Flavor of the Month”. For the discerning event planner who treasures having the best, not the trendiest…The Bradley Young Orchestra is the ideal choice when considering Chicago Wedding Bands.

Real music performed by a superior orchestra… The Bradley Young Orchestra is legendary…there is simply nothing else like it anywhere. This is the ultimate blend of dazzling virtuosity, hot, sophisticated rhythms, spectacularly soulful singers, sizzling, sexy violinists, and the tightest, most powerful horn section you’ve ever heard!

Featuring a truly massive repertoire…the Bradley Young Orchestra sets the night on fire with styles ranging from 40’s Swing and Big Band to the hottest soul hits of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s…to the explosive new creations of today’s superstars and tomorrow’s legends, this band rocks like no other! You will not find another band that performs such a wide range of styles with as much precision and authority as The Bradley Young Orchestra. And the vocal section, with legends like Pam Bradley, Byron Woods, Eddie Victorian, and Nanette Frank is the envy of every other band in town.

The band is conducted by internationally acclaimed keyboardist and music director Bradley Young…A virtuoso blues and jazz pianist, he has always had a strong following in Chicago, his hometown; as well as in Los Angeles, where he has recorded with top studio musicians and entertained at some of the hottest nightspots in L.A.
