Hey, I'm Anthony! I'm a Singer-Songwriter, Pianist, and Guitarist in the Albany region. I've always been about bringing people's visions to life, whether it be producing artists', taking an amazing story and turning it into music, or filling an event with sound that speaks to the people there. I'd love to get to know both of you and your story, and help create memories with music. While I live in Albany, I'm willing to travel almost anywhere - feel free to get in touch whether you want me to come to you, or if you're planning a destination wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough good things about Anthony. I truly feel I was lucky to find him for so many reasons. Not only is he very diligent when responding to emails and phone calls. But truly the main thing I loved about working with him was that his energy was exactly what a nervous bride needs — calm and reassuring, while still displaying so much enthusiasm and excitement for our wedding. Music was super important to my husband and I’s relationship so I was happy to know how talented Anthony is. He is able to cover a huge repertoire of music but also took it upon himself to learn a few songs I requested as a special dedication for my husband-to-be. Everyone at our wedding raved about him and kept telling me they even felt his sound was better than some of the original artists’ songs he was covering. My cocktail hour was the exact vibe I envisioned— so dreamy and I’ll never forget it. All thanks to Anthony!

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

Vibeology IA

  • DJ
  • Serves Rochester, NY for additional fees

Music is a lifeblood of life's journey: a universal language that invokes emotion and creates memories; and when thoughtfully and passionately curated into a soundtrack, custom-tailored to specifications, preferences and tastes, the outcome is truly magical, noteworthy, and filled with joy, sentiment, and connection. For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

We met Denise when she DJ'd a friend's wedding and it was the most fun reception I'd ever attended. I knew she HAD to be my DJ if ever I got married! From day 1 of meeting with her for our wedding, it was clear that her goal was to give us the best party of our lives, whatever that looked like to us. She had great advice throughout the entire process and took time to get to know us and what style/vibe we wanted for our reception. Communication is key, and she had the logistics of the reception planned down to the minute. The music portal is very user friendly and it was really fun to think through our music. If you need song advice, she's your gal. She will strictly adhere to your do NOT play list. She gets the guests engaged and is truly a party starter (if that's what you want). Our guests told us they were sore the next morning because they literally never left the dance floor. Many have asked us to do an annual anniversary party and have Denise DJ it. She will become your family DJ for life and we know of at least 2 guests who plan to have her DJ their wedding. She is a lovely human and a STELLAR DJ. You will not regret asking her to DJ your special day! <3

Chris DJ'ed and provided lights/drapery for our commitment ceremony on 8/24/24. From the very first intro phone call, Chris was awesome. So kind, clear in his communication, and passionate about helping us get the experience we wanted. We were planning a few unconventional things, and he was excited about helping us make it all happen. Music/Dancing was a big deal for me when planning, and he took the time to understand me, my partner, and our guests. On the day of our party, he was the perfect professional, and (again) so kind. Several guests (and our photographer) went out of their way to find me and comment on how good he was in some way—how well mic'ed the ceremony was, how fun the dancing was all night, how creative the cocktail music was, and how cool some of his special touches were. One guest asked me for his contact info, for her friend's upcoming wedding. With his help with music and beautiful ambiance, Chris was an essential piece in making the atmosphere perfect from start to finish. We're so incredibly grateful and can't recommend him enough!

Peter was the DJ at our wedding on 9/21/2024, and we cannot say enough good things about him! He was extraordinarily organized (which was so helpful as a Type-A bride), and his planning form brought up items we never would've even considered. When our original venue closed, Peter immediately shifted gears and got to work planning for our new venue. He took the time to edit our first dance and parent dance songs, and even tracked down an Iranian song for us that my husband had requested. And best of all, he kept the dance floor packed all night! We highly recommend him to any couples who are considering a DJ for their wedding.

T. L. Holloway

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Rochester, NY for additional fees

Wedding and event band based in New York’s Capital Region. We do cocktail jazz, wedding receptions, ceremony music and more. Today, jazz is a rarity, especially in its purist live form. This condition is a result of its limited availability, and the higher prevalence of rock bands in most areas. We at T. L. Holloway seek to alleviate this issue. As students of the jazz classics, we seek to provide authentic American jazz to venues and events all over the Northeastern United States.

Awarded Best of Zola
T.L. Holloway was the perfect band for our June garden wedding. Steve, John, Peter, and Dylan are fantastic people, extraordinary musicians, and organized planners. These four showed off their versatility and stamina by playing throughout our whole wedding day — from ceremony music with custom renditions of some of our favorite folk songs, through the cocktail hour and dinner with smooth jazz and Sinatra, and closing out the night with faster jazz mixed with classic American and contemporary tunes to keep everyone dancing. They graciously provided sound equipment for our outdoor ceremony, and Steve artfully handled wedding party introductions during the reception as well as various announcements. Throughout the night we noticed them checking their sound from various locations — that attention to detail and care typified our experience, from our first planning call until their last song. They made everything easy for us, were extremely generous with their time during planning, and their renditions of songs we selected were beyond what we imagined was possible. Our guests (and us!) were simply enamored! As lovers of jazz and classic American tunes (but not necessarily dancing), these guys had us and our guests dancing all night. They matched our style and energy level perfectly. We received countless guest compliments on their behalf, though the credit is all theirs. Whenever we think back on our wedding day, their music will always be a cherished part of it! We can’t recommend enough — or thank enough — T.L. Holloway.

Our wedding band is a group of 5 best friends with BIG personalities. The whole musical aspect of the industry was run by cookie-cutter wedding bands that looked so much more corporate than artistic. So many couple's feel trapped into choosing a band that would simply play songs, but not give the crowd a performance. The reception is meant to be high energy, interactive, and engaging. As artists that tour the country and live the music we play, we truly believe we are the best in the country at providing our weddings with something real. Something that they can remember and take home with them for years to come.

These guys have been a staple of Charleston for over 4 years. Everyone knows them, now they are servicing all of the Carolinas and just performed at my sisters wedding last month. They're just the best. Saxophone is killer, drummer is s legend. Look at their google reviews, there videos, all there info shows it, that they know what they're doing, and they do it well.

My Hero Zero is absolutely incredible. I've seen them countless in times in State College and my wife was also a huge fan after seeing them in Ocean City/Dewey many times. We reached out to ask about the possibility of them playing at our wedding in Dallas (a quick 24 hour drive from Pennsylvania) and we were so happy that they could do it. Not only did they all make the trip, they also were very easy to work with throughout the entire planning period and wedding weekend. The set up was incredible and they even took some song requests to make everything feel very special. Jason MC'd the wedding and did a killer job. I recommend seeing them at any of their many regular spots to just get an idea of how awesome they are. 10/10 would consider them the best wedding band I've ever seen (no bias)! -Ryan and Alli

I met Jamie while he was DJing at a venue in Manhattan many moons ago. I was immediately pleased with the music he chose and went up to the booth and we got to talking about music and art. He was so easy going and truly in tune with the beat of the venue. We kept in touch and I then went to several more of his venues where he was DJing with friends and also with my (now) husband. When we decided to get married and keep it really small our one must-have was excellent music because we love dancing but are not fans of standard wedding DJ music. I immediately contacted Jamie and on short notice he was able to schedule a meeting with us to discuss our needs. Jamie came prepared with a list of questions and helped us work through the different moods we wanted to set and organized the music choices. We gave him some ideas and he did the legwork of deciding what specific songs would lead into each of the unique parts of a wedding and reception (dancing, eating, more dancing, only the young people dancing, etc.). To this day my husband and I talk about how much fun we had at our wedding and how we were really able to make every piece of it ours - right down to the music that was not pulled off some Billboard chart but that truly reflected us and the people in our lives. In fact Jamie was so great the venue asked if he would be willing to come back and DJ some of their future events :)

We love to be a part of all wedding celebrations, but are especially passionate about events where our creativity can shine. Give us a challenge and watch it come to life! We make the Impossible Party happen.

Kyle made planning our music selections so easy and stress free. The app was was extremely helpful in designating which songs we'd like played at different points throughout the wedding. Being able to leave notes in different areas really made it a breeze to give him a clear concise vision of what we wanted to accomplish and our personal tastes in music. When we met in person to go over finer details Kyle had notes on everything we put in the app and brought up more questions we hadn't considered yet. He was very professional as well as personable. Once all the planning was said and done, my fiancé (now wife) and I just had to kick back and enjoy our special day. Our guests were all extremely happy with the music and we got several compliments as we talked with each table. We had so much fun and our guests were absolutely thrilled on the dance floor

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)
