I was very excited when my May 2016 couple told me that they had decided to work with Time Chicago, a new band from BeatMix Music. Becca Kaufman has carefully curated the top musicians in Chicago to work with her, and the addition of Emanuel Barr leading the Time Chicago band makes BeatMix Music a powerhouse in the event industry. Emanuel is very skilled at listening to client’s needs and guiding them through the process of choosing the right mix of musicians for a ceremony or cocktail hour. He knows his band inside and out and masterfully incorporates the client’s musical tastes into a set list that keeps guests packed on the dance floor all night long. I would highly recommend Time Chicago for your next event!
