Our signature touring setup is an 8-piece band (dual lead vocals, saxophone, lead guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, auxiliary percussion) traveling with a dedicated FOH sound engineer and stage technician (10 people total).

Do you provide your own sound and lighting equipment?
Quick Answer: Yes. Simple Truth Band provides its own dedicated touring sound engineer and stage technician to oversee audio engineering. We supply our complete instrument backline, wireless in-ear monitoring, and microphone setups.

Venue PA line-array sound systems and stage lighting are coordinated with your venue or event production company per our standardized technical rider.

How far in advance should I book Simple Truth X for my event?
Quick Answer: We recommend booking 2 to 3 months in advance, especially during peak wedding season (October to March) and corporate annual gala dates, to guarantee date and lineup availability.

For auspicious wedding dates and peak weekend dates, prime slots are frequently booked 4 to 6 months ahead.

Genres & Repertoire

What genres does Simple Truth Band play?
Quick Answer: Simple Truth Band plays a versatile multi-genre repertoire covering classic and contemporary Bollywood, retro Hindi hits (RD Burman, Kishore Kumar), classic western rock (Queen, Bon Jovi), 80s/90s pop anthems (ABBA, Bruno Mars), smooth jazz, bossa nova, and authentic Goan rhythms.

Every performance is curated to match the energy arc of your event. For cocktail hours, we deliver smooth saxophone jazz and acoustic ballads. For sangeet nights and after-parties, our full 8 to 15-piece ensemble performs uninterrupted high-energy dance medleys.

Can Simple Truth Band learn custom song requests for our first dance or couple entry?
Quick Answer: Yes. Simple Truth Band gladly prepares bespoke live arrangements for couple entries, first dances, and special family moments when submitted at least 4 weeks prior to your event date.

What is Simple Truth Band's signature performance style?
Quick Answer: Simple Truth Band is known for its powerhouse big-band sound featuring live saxophone and horn section, dual male and female lead vocalists, and electrifying mashups of retro Bollywood classics with western rock and pop beats.

Unlike tracks played by a DJ, our live musicians interact with guests, read the room in real time, and adjust tempo dynamically to keep the crowd engaged and dancing.

Can the band perform regional or Goan music alongside Bollywood?
Quick Answer: Yes. Simple Truth Band has authentic roots in Goan and Latin music, regularly performing Goan pop, Portuguese-Latin rhythms, Punjabi party anthems, and international covers alongside mainstream Bollywood.

Technical, Sound & Stage Logistics

Does Simple Truth Band bring their own sound system?
Quick Answer: Simple Truth Band provides all instruments, backline amplifiers, in-ear monitor systems, and wireless microphones, along with a dedicated Front-of-House (FOH) sound engineer. For local Delhi NCR events, we can provide turnkey PA speaker arrays; for outstation events, local PA is provided by venue vendors per our rider.

Our complete Technical Rider is downloadable on our website, specifying standard mixer models (e.g. Behringer X32, Yamaha CL5) and PA speaker requirements.

What stage dimensions and electrical power does the band require?
Quick Answer: Our standard 8-piece band requires a minimum stage size of 24 feet wide by 16 feet deep (height 2–3 feet), with a dedicated 32A three-phase clean power supply isolated from heavy catering or lighting loads.

How early does the band arrive for soundcheck and setup?
Quick Answer: Our sound engineer and technical crew arrive at the venue 4 hours prior to guest arrival. Full audio line checks and acoustic soundchecks are completed at least 90 minutes before doors open.

This guarantees that sound testing never overlaps with guest arrival or pre-event cocktail hours.

How does the band manage venue volume restrictions and outdoor noise curfews?
Quick Answer: Our sound engineer actively monitors decibel levels (dB) at the FOH desk, utilizing acoustic drum shields and digital in-ear monitoring to keep audio powerful on the dance floor while complying strictly with local 10:00 PM outdoor noise curfews.

For indoor late-night after-parties, volume can be tailored to high concert levels without exterior sound bleed.

Does the band travel with a dedicated sound engineer?
Quick Answer: Yes. A professional Front-of-House (FOH) sound engineer travels with Simple Truth Band for every single performance to guarantee pristine audio fidelity, balanced vocal clarity, and controlled stage volume.
