Hello!! I’m Kenny Strong and I manage the band Rhythm Exchange. We are a 5, or 6 piece with sax, variety band. We have a high energy and entertaining presentation that I think would go over well at your venue. Our singer, Kate Laciak, is a true performer. She has been a multiple times guest solo artist at The Grand Ole Opry, CMA awards and even Carnegie Hall. These are the things you can expect from our group:
Expect a caring and professional band!! Money is not the primary motivation for the Rhythm Exchange. We do it for the fun of it!! We want the people to dance, laugh, sing, and have fun. When the audience is having fun and reacting with energy, the band is having more fun and producing more energy. This is the exchange!! So, if you hire us, you will see from the first song that we interact with the audience and try to pull them into our show. We will get them out of their chairs and on the dance floor.
Expect great vocals!! Kate Laciak is our singer and she is a trained professional!! Formerly trained at Carnegie Hall, Kate has performed solo shows at the CMA, Grand Ole Opry, and Carnegie Hall!! Listen to her sing Journey in the video section!!
Expect a great sound!! We use state of the art Bose sound reinforcement technology. We play at a volume that is conducive to listening, but will allow your guests to talk with each other. Music does not have to be loud to be good.
Expect a quality light show. We use a wireless LED light set up. We have unique dance floor lights that will illuminate and wash the dance floor as well as the stage.
Expect a talented band. We feature a female lead vocalist, guitar, keyboards, bass and drums. Our rhythm section is seasoned and energetic. On some songs, we use 2 guitars, and our lead guitarist also plays saxophone!!

Yes. We’re happy to play music when the band isn’t playing.

Outdoor festivals
The musicians in this band all have more than 25 years experience separate. As a band we have been together for 1.5 years, but we have only been gigging for about one year.
Fleetwood Mac
Paul McCartney
We normally arrive one and a half hours before the show. But if needed, we can get set up in 30 minutes. We play anywhere from a minimum of two hours up to five
We are happy to perform outside as long as there is ample covered from the elements, including rain, wind, and direct sunlight. Need a good generator.
Given an ample time, we can learn songs. If they are easy songs, we do not charge anything. If we have to call a rehearsal. We will charge to learn that song or we can spin that song for you.
Energetic, immersive, interactive, and fun
