Welcome to the Kicks Charitable Event Information Center
For over 25 years, Kicks has been dedicated to bringing exceptional live music to private fundraising galas across the country. From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: to deliver music the way it was meant to be heard—authentic, energetic, and tailored to each event.
Whether you choose our 4-piece combo or a dynamic 12-piece ensemble, every version of Kicks offers a signature blend of elegance and excitement. Each group is equally skilled across a wide range of musical styles, including Swing, Big Band, Ballroom, Jazz, Motown, R&B, Classic Rock, Disco, Contemporary, Top 40, and Hip Hop—making Kicks one of the most versatile dance bands in the industry. With more than a dozen ensemble configurations to choose from, Kicks is the perfect musical partner for any nonprofit organization, whether based in Southern California or hosting events nationwide.
In addition to our acclaimed dance bands, Kicks also offers a wide selection of soloists and small groups ideal for events that don’t require dancing. Our talented roster includes pianists, keyboardists, acoustic guitarists, and harpists, as well as jazz duos, trios, and classical ensembles. We also provide specialty acts such as Calypso and Steel Drum bands, Country/Western performers, Mariachi groups, Latin and Salsa bands, Motown/R&B groups, and Broadway or Cabaret-style performers.
The quality, professionalism, and dependability of Kicks and its musicians are unmatched. That’s why Kicks is recommended by more of San Diego’s premier hotels, catering venues, and event planners than nearly any other entertainment provider in the private event world.
