What type of party will TDB not play? The type this bass player admits to attending….

We’ve said that we would love to play your party, and listed some of the types of parties we have played in the past or would love to play in the future.  From your typical pool party to your graduation party. We will play your bar mitzvah party, or if you are not coming of age, maybe you are coming out (of the closet), and that would be an interesting gig too…

However, please do not ask to hire us for your next SNUFF PARTY. No, it has nothing to do with tobacco. 

Former Scorpions bass player, Ralph Rjeckermann stated in a video that he had attended snuff parties in the past.

In the video, this bassist says he attended a party once where he saw, “really bad s***” and when asked by TMZ if it was a donkey show, he said “No, they actually killed people there and stuff. They pay up to $100,000 to see people get…”   Well, go watch the video….

Please, call us at 864.979.1224 and book your next Greenville or Upstate area party, as long as it is not a snuff party.

We received an email from someone wanting to catch a Dockside show this coming weekend, unfortunately I had to inform them that we are not playing at a bar, club, festival or other public event.

Instead, we are playing for a wedding reception here in Greenville that will keep us busy both Friday and Saturday nights.  This should be a lot of fun as we know the bride and groom, and their family and we were  fortunate enough to play for their engagement party too!

So, if you are wanting to catch some great live music, then I’m afraid you will have to wait until the following weekend, May 5th (Cinco De Mayo party anyone?!?!). We will be playing at the Upstate’s coolest Cajun place, Bleu Voodoo in Easley. It’s not just some bar, it is a restaurant with authentic New Orleans decor, vibe and food.   We start at 7pm during the dining time and play until 10pm.  We’ll do all your favorite rock, beach and country tunes, and throw in a few of our own originals. This is a smoke free venue!

Should you be searching for the best live entertainment in the Upstate for your wedding reception, engagement party or anniversary party, please call us. We will do everything we can to make your gathering as memorable and fun as possible.

We’re not limited to just Greenville, Anderson, Clemson, Spartanburg, Pickens, Simpsonville and the rest of the Upstate, we can travel to the coast or to the mountains! Charleston anyone? We’re especially interested in your Hawaii destination wedding!

Hire a professional band today by calling 864.979.1224 or using our booking page.

The Dockside Band is playing a benefit for a child and family this Saturday at The Bar on Pleasantburg

TDB is playing from 5 until 8 on Saturday evening, April 21st, 2012 at The Bar on Pleasantburg in Greenville, SC.

This is a benefit for 15 month old Cannon O’Sullivan and family to assist with the financial burden brought on due to a clef palate that Cannon was born with. As you know, this requires surgery to correct, and lots of other expenses related to the condition, not to mention the work the family will miss and other inconveniences.

Won’t you please swing by from 3 PM until 8 PM and help show love and support for this family?

The Dockside Band is playing live music in the parking lot, starting about 5PM, and doing everyone’s favorite cover tunes, from Skynyrd, Zac Brown Band, Bad Company, Foo Fighters, Journey, Eagles, Marshall Tucker Band, Otis Redding, Commodores, Van Morrison, Jimmie Buffett, Toby Keith, Bog Segar and Lord knows who else. We’ll do numbers from just about every genre….  Country, Southern and Classic Rock, Carolina Beach, Blues, Dance, you name it!

We’ll also be performing our original songs such as “Carolina Baby” and “Forever”, which you can find on ReverbNation, or under the “Music” tab on our site.

In case of rain, we will move indoors and play a more intimate selection.

The Bar is at 953 North Pleasantburg Drive in Greenville, SC.
