Houston Gala Band for Black-Tie Events & Fundraisers

Gunpowder Soup is an ideal choice for Houston galas, nonprofit fundraisers, awards dinners, corporate celebrations and black-tie events. Our polished presentation and broad repertoire allow us to complement an elegant atmosphere while still creating the excitement your guests expect when it is time to celebrate. Houston Marquis, Le Tessarae, Woodlands Country Club, The Rustic (both locations), places we were hired to start the party.

Seriously the best wedding band around!! We cannot recommend them enough. Gunpowder Soup interacts with the crowd and keeps the partying going ALL NIGHT LONG! The dancefloor was packed and we had so many guests ask for their info after our wedding. If you’re lucky enough to get them booked, your party is guaranteed to be one that you and your guests will never forget. Jeanine is awesome and her attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed when she plans and executes a perfect night.

We are thrilled we chose to work with Gun Powder Soup! Jeanine was professional and responsive leading up to our wedding day. The biggest compliment we received after our event was how interactive and entertaining our band was! Thank you to GPS for making our reception everything we dreamed of!

Gunpowder Soup is the absolute BEST band for any and all of your special occasions!! They brought the talent, the energy and the FUN to my sister’s wedding in Mission, TX! Jeanie was a true pleasure to work with! They do a great job helping curate the best set list for your occasion and make sure the dance floor is always popping! Members of the band get on the dance floor and interact with the guests, it is just awesome!! I can’t thank Jeanie and the GPS team enough for making my sister’s wedding so memorable!

You will not be disappointed when you book Gunpowder soup to play at your wedding, party or any other event. They were amazing from the start, especially through all of the admin work, picking songs, etc. They are very professional and they sound really awesome! Great Great Band. They played at our wedding on 10/17/20 and We are so glad we were able to have them! Nothing but class! They do it all from DJ Services, Emcee, Ceremony Music and of course the Reception music. We had such a great time at our wedding. Thank you Gunpowder Soup!

Country, Pop, Rock & Variety Music for Houston Corporate Events

One of Gunpowder Soup’s biggest advantages is musical variety.

Country is an important part of our repertoire, but we are not limited to country music. We can move from classic country to modern country, pop, rock, 80s favorites, 90s hits and today’s most recognizable song.

A Repertoire Designed for a Diverse Corporate Audience

Corporate events bring together people of different ages, backgrounds and musical preferences.
Our broad repertoire allows us to create a playlist that works for the entire room. We can adjust the music based on the audience, event format and energy level rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all setlist.
Gunpowder Soup has the trust from top-tier wedding vendors. We’re the most-requested wedding band in Texas for a reason!
