A good live band will always get feet on the dance floor. A great live band can etch the spirit of an event into the memory of guests long after the final song. That’s exactly where 10 Spot makes its mark. Hailing from Virginia Beach, VA, 10 Spot is a party band whose primary goal is to create fun and memorable moments at every event. From Motown to classic soul, rock’n’roll to contemporary party hits, this band entertains audiences of all music tastes and has a remarkable ability to connect at an individual level with every single guest. Few bands can effortlessly groove an R&B classic like Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together”, then heat up the party with hip-hop hit like Flo-Rida’s “Good Feeling”, and close with Journey’s epic “Don’t Stop Believing”, all in the course of one flawlessly-composed set. From a slow dance to a fist-pumping jam, 10 Spot’s funky and fresh mix will make guests smile… and sweat. 10 Spot is led by industry veterans Gray Finnegan and Jon Burford. Gray has experience in a variety of bands ranging from jazz combos to 80’s rock bands, while Jon brings to the band a James Brown-type vocal energy, and a Duane Allman-meets-Prince guitar versatility. Jon is a polished showman—when he steps into the crowd and launches into a guitar solo, he helps kick the party to a whole new level. A true family band, 10 Spot’s lineup also features a second generation of Burford talent, as Jon is joined by his daughter Jacqueline on vocals and his son Phil on drums. This special family bond, combined with keyboardist and founding member Glenn Carver and long-time bassist John Stratford, gives 10 Spot a chemistry and authenticity that few bands can offer. Since 2002, 10 Spot has played a busy schedule of parties, weddings and special events that rivals the region’s most prolific bands. Meticulously rehearsing a constantly-expanding repertoire that incorporates both the newest hits along with the most beloved and respected songs in popular music, 10 Spot’s planning and attention to detail ultimately pays off in an unforgettable event.

From: Alex Cameron Subject: Thanks Date: August 17, 2017 at 3:08:05 PM EDT To: 10 Spot Dear Gray, I just wanted you guys to know how much I and all those who attended my wife’s birthday party in Rehoboth Beach on August 5 enjoyed you and your music! It was a fabulous night and would have been fun, under any circumstances, but you made it just awesome. I cannot possibly recall the number of people who came up to me in the days following the party and remarked about how “great the band was.” Seriously. So, if you ever need a recommendation, any member of my family would be happy to give it. All the best, Alex

Everything went so well and our wedding day was a blast! We loved working with Gray and 10 Spot. Gray was so easy to work with. He reached out prior to the event to get information on our timeline, what kind of music we were looking for, introductions information, etc. We spoke on the phone a few weeks before the wedding to run through all the information and he provided great recommendations. The day of everything ran smoothly and the band did an awesome job. The music was fun dancing music which is exactly what we wanted. Everyone was out on the dance floor and we didn't want the party to end. Our guests definitely love to dance! Thank you so much for all of your help with booking 10 Spot and making sure everything ran smoothly for our event. We have already recommended 10 Spot to our friends and family and I will continue to recommend Sam Hill to anyone looking for live music. Thanks again! Megan Henry

Thanks so much for guiding us to them. All went perfect and they even performed 10 extra pieces. Some of their greatest effort occurred during dinner which was only enjoyed by the tables nearby so we would reshuffle this with their next visit. All of their team were excellent singers and musicians and the woman performer was so energetic with excellent choreography as well as a great voice. Thanks again Mike and I am thinking we should move forward earlier this year once we pick our date. Best always, Jerry

They helped to make the evening absolutely perfect for everyone who attended. My friends are still talking about how much fun they had that night. The night just wouldn't have been the same without them. They really kept the party going and fed off the crowd. They barely took their breaks cause it seemed like they were having such a good time up there. Would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who asks. Thanks! Sarah and Robert

I had so many people come up to me and compliment us on the band. I have been to weddings where the band made it about them, not the dance party. We don’t enjoy that. 10 Spot was able to judge the crowd, build the tempo, play great oldies as well as new stuff and the dance floor was always full. I just wished we'd had a bigger dance floor. My best friend from NYC, who just had us up for his daughter’s wedding in Sept. and who is a big music fan, was totally taken aback by how great the band was and kept complimenting me on our hiring them. I told them personally before they left and will tell you that I would recommend 10 Spot for any wedding or special occasion. Ann even said she regretted not having another event for which we could hire them in the future. Thanks for getting us such fine music for our event. You did very well. EE

From: Schwieger, Terry R Date: Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 8:42 AM Subject: RE: 10 Spot band follow up To: Andy Jaspen Andy, 10 Spot really hit it out of the park during the reception. They had everyone from the 20-somethings to a couple of 80+ year olds tearing up the dance floor. Their choice of music, from the “dinner tunes” to when they really got cranked up was outstanding. The dance floor was always packed and at the end the crowd was chanting “10 more songs!” They were truly exceptional in everyway. After things wound down, John from the band spoke with both Charlie and me and told us both how much they enjoyed playing the event. John said the band enjoyed themselves so much it was the kind of gig they would have played for free. He also took the time to tell me that he thought Charlie was a great young man and true gentleman which he certainly didn’t have to do. I would strongly recommend 10 Spot for any event and would gladly provide them a recommendation. Terry Schwieger

The entire weekend was amazing and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you so much for your recommendation on 10 Spot. The band rocked it - they played great dance music and the female vocal they added was extremely talented. They were one of the big highlights of the night, for sure. Ending the night with AC/DC "You shook me all night long" was one of the big highlights of the night. Couldn't have asked for a better band on our big day.

From: Justin Wiesert Subject: Re: Saturday 18th wedding Date: November 11, 2014 4:46:15 PM EST To: Gray Finnegan of 10 Spot Gray, Not knowing anything about a wedding or where to start, my bride and I chose to book 10 Spot. Music is a hobby of mine and has been from boyhood so I was certainly a critical client. We had a few logistic issues at my wedding, it was held at a private residence and it was outdoors, new construction to boot. I let Gray know and he was more than willing to listen and even suggest solutions. Gray had answers to questions I didn't even know I had. I even gave Gray and his crew the father daughter dance song just hours before the wedding and he made it happen. Thanks! Gray and his guys performed like true musicians and I say this having logged hundreds of live shows in my time. We had a slight problem with a breaker at the house but Gray and his crew were so strong, during ‘Don't Stop Believin’ by Journey the power cut, the crowd was singing the chorus on the dance floor and when the power came back on the band picked up right in sync with the crowd’s chorus, like I said, true musicians and very impressive. Also, the lead guitar player didn't miss a note during ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ which says a lot. Thank you Gray and 10 Spot for making our wedding better than we expected. Thanks for everything!!

Gray was great with communication and following my instructions and timeline and they were beyond cooperative with equipment set-up. The family loved them and one of the guests (I learned this yesterday when talking to the bride’s mother) said there were moments when she turned to see if the band was actually playing - she thought she was hearing a cd or recording of the song instead of the band - they were so good. And the song they learned sounded better than the artist that recorded it, in my opinion. They were a pleasure. Bravo to 10 SPOT! Thanks for asking! I had already called Gray to be sure they got home safely and thank him for everything. I am most happy to report all positive feedback! Patti Davis

You guys were flexible and worked with us early on when we had some technical issues and just made everything easy. Thank you. 10 Spot was great. They were also easy to work with. More so, though, they were just really good. Everyone I have spoken with—younger and older-- has immediately mentioned how good the band was and what a good time they had as a result. I really think it was a huge part of our wedding being a success. They also learned two songs for us—both our first dance song and one for my dance with my Mother. We were 100% expecting the first dance song to be played on a CD, but when we heard them rehearsing it, it was really cool. Plus they sounded great. It was a really, really good experience all around. I would not hesitate to recommend both Sam Hill and 10 Spot to anyone I know looking for a live band. Thanks, Andrew! Spencer Bolander

They got people to dance (ie my Grandma who doesn't leave the couch) that haven't in years and I think at least half of the guests came up to me to rave about them. The only let-down from our guests was that they weren't coming to our after party which was a rumor someone started, ha! Their music selection was a perfect blend of oldies and modern and their finale with "Shout" was the icing on the cake. I will be sure to give their info to all of my engaged friends so I can hopefully hear them again in the near future! Thanks again! Gen

We received tons of compliments about how excellent you guys were, and how fantastic 10 Spot was at providing the right music at the right time to match the crowd. I was thrilled with the variety of classic and new songs, and how you all were able to escalate the party vibe as the night progressed. I also appreciate your flexibility, attention to detail, and communication: we went into the night completely confident that you had a handle on what we were looking for, and it was a huge relief to not have to worry about those details. Finally, although I didn't get to spend time with everyone in the band, each member I met was extremely friendly, despite a full night of rocking out. Once again, thanks so much for making the trip out to Stratford. You all played a huge role in making our reception memorable and fun. Best Regards, David & Kristina

They drove a long way to get here and I'm sure they were tired, but you wouldn't know from their performance, which was exceptional. Gray was very easy to work with and he made sure we were taken care of. I'm not much of a dancer but by the end of the night I was breaking it down with the rest of them, mainly because 10 Spot had such a great performance. I was extremely satisfied and all the guests were raving about them. I would recommend them to friends and family, and I thought their rate was very reasonable. Thanks again! Trey

And they were really easy to work with on all the logistics too, very accommodating. In short, we had a blast dancing the night away, and would definitely recommend 10 Spot. And, for that matter, we have already been recommending Sam Hill too. I appreciate all your help in finding the right band for us, particularly as our wedding plans were all over the place for a while.

We could not have been happier with the band. They are great musicians and total professionals. They had the dance floor jam packed from the start of the reception. Laura and I particularly like how the energy levels built up over the course of the evening. They played a lot of songs early in the set that really encouraged some of our older guests out on the dance floor (but the songs were really fun ones, so everybody was up on their feet). The songs got faster/livelier/newer over the course of the evening and everyone just continued to dance the night away. It was awesome. Please pass along our sincere thanks and appreciation to the guys! A couple of highlights for me: My 76 year-old dad being twirled around the dance floor by this beautiful young French woman (wife of friend). My dad said he thought he might have a heart attack, but at least he'd die with a smile on his face! I also got to dance with Laura's 93 year-old grandmother, which was incredible because we thought she might not even be able to make the wedding due to age/declining health. But she was on that dance floor for a good while! Thanks again for all your help in arranging the band. They were perfect for the occasion and all of our friends have given similar feedback about how great they were. If ever we are throwing a party with a band, we would definitely come back to Sam Hill and 10 SPOT would be at the top of the list. I do not know anyone getting married in the near future, but if and when I hear such plans, I'll definitely recommend they check you out. Cheers, Brian

I would highly recommend them to friends and family. Gray was very accommodating and easy to work with through the whole planning process. I am very detail oriented and he was patient with all of my questions. He made me feel confident that everything would go as planned and that I would have nothing to do the day of. When I arrived at Veritas, the band was set up and ready to go. They were all very friendly and professional. Most importantly, their music was amazing! There were people on the dance floor from the time they started playing until the end of the night. In fact, we saw guests that typically don't dance having the time of their lives dancing. As a bride and groom, it is very rewarding to look around and see that all of your guests are simply having a great time. Besides the fun crowd, I would attribute a lot of this in our case to 10 Spot and their music. We greatly appreciate all of your help in finding us a band that suited our personalities and we couldn't have been more pleased with 10 Spot. Thanks for your contribution to our special day - it was truly amazing! Brooke Harris

Here are a few of my thoughts! Band was very responsive before hand- Gray was the contact and he was very good, thorough, responsive, etc Payment was easy They were super nice and fun the day of Did an EXCELLENT job with introductions. We chose a kind of different song to play during our introductions (Dallas Mavericks intro tune, because we live in Dallas and they won the NBA last year!) and they downloaded it on iTunes, and believe me I was SO excited when I heard it start for introductions. I believe Gray was the one that did all the names and he got them all correct. Anyway, they had an AMAZING presence with doing all the "MC"-ing and were so so so so much better than a DJ I requested 2 songs and they played them both, live, and they were amazing!!! "Party Rock" by LMFAO (fairly new song so I'm impressed they knew it!) and "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. These were two big highlights. They did a great job, basically, they kept the dance floor packed and I felt like they played a lot of songs. They were amazing. I almost chose "Another Level" because I had heard them play at a friends wedding, but I am SO glad I chose 10 spot. I can't say enough great things about them, so feel free to send anyone my name and email if they are debating using them. I think everything went well with the venue coordinating with them- Veritas staff loves having them play there, so it all worked out flawlessly, in my opinion! Let me know if you have any other specific questions or if there is anywhere else I can go to rate/ recommend them! Thanks!!! Lauren

We had an amazing time at the wedding and reception -- the honeymoon was pretty awesome as well. 10 Spot was, in one word, perfect. No less than a dozen people came up to my wife and I after the wedding and told us how incredible the band was. Most important to us, they played straight through the last hour and a half of the wedding (which we requested), so Ashley and I were able to dance a ton. This meant a lot to us that they would stick to the schedule we had proposed. Other than that, their song choices were outstanding, and they interacted with everyone in a courteous and energetic way. We wouldn't have changed anything about their performance. I will absolutely recommend Sam Hill and 10 Spot to all of my friends. I'm certain that many will be asking about the band at our wedding in the future, so I'll be sure to pass on the good word. Thanks again for all of your help and advice. Take care and hope you're doin' well. Best, Scott and Ashley Kelly

I did want to comment though on Ten Spot - they were AMAZING! The band was absolutely incredible, and they really made the party/reception a huge success. Their music was flawless, and they have such a great stage presence - absolutely fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about them. My husband and I hope to have an anniversary party a couple of years down the road, and if we do, we will definitely book Ten Spot again! Thanks so much for all of your help and facilitation.

They were on time, professional, and did a great job of MCing as well as performing. We had a lot of people comment on how great the band was, and people were on the dance floor the whole time. The wedding coordinator, Cheryl, even mentioned that she would certainly remember them for the future. We couldn't have been happier - thanks for everything! Your organization did a great job and it was great not having to worry about the details, etc. Alison
From: Scott Wagner Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 9:23 AM To: Andy @ Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: Re: 10 Spot Andy, thanks for your email. I've been meaning to send you all an email about this! 10 Spot was fantastic! I honestly cannot say enough great things about the band! We gave them last minute special request songs that they performed excellently. Also, they worked with our time schedule to maximize play time. Everyone in the band was extremely professional. We had a smaller wedding - approx 98 people including us and our bridal party. Our concern going in was that people would be too reserved to dance and our wedding would be boring. 10 Spot made our wedding a huge success. There were a few times - especially towards the end of the night - that I looked out and not a single person was sitting down - everyone was on the dance floor. My in-laws were breaking it down with my parents to OutKast! Even our wedding coordinator at the venue was impressed! They did a phenomenal job of gauging the crowd and playing the right songs at the right time. Everyone has had only the greatest things to say about the band. I can honestly say that 10 Spot made our wedding reception a success. It was a pleasure to work with them - especially Gray, who really went out of his way to make sure that we were happy before the reception in terms of the timing, etc. and during the reception. I will highly recommend 10 Spot to friends and family. My parents even plan to see them occasionally, as they live in Virginia Beach. Thanks again, - Scott Wagner

They made the difference between a "normal" reception and one that all of our guests are still talking about! The dance floor was FULL the entire night! Even the recorded music that they played on their short breaks was so good people kept on dancing! It was like having a band and a DJ! The music never stopped. Gray Finnegan was so nice to work with, answering all questions and emails promptly. He also did a fabulous job as an MC, announcing the wedding party and all other items throughout the night. You know a band has done a great job when at the end of the evening and last song the guests start chanting, "One more song, one more song!" Much to everyone's delight they did play "one more song!" Thank you Andy for all of your help in choosing 10 Spot! They were perfect. We will definitely spread the word about 10 Spot and Sam Hill. Best regards, Betsy Davis

He was very accomodating and made me feel so comfortable. Everyone loved the band. All of my guests were dancing and have complemented 10 Spot. They even had a sweet moment with my 3 year old nephew (who is obsessed with guitars). One of the musicials let him "hold" his real guitar and that just made my nephew's week!

Gray’s attention to detail in the weeks before the wedding was very much appreciated as we finalized all of the important details for Megan and Thad. The entire crowd had a great time, young and the not so young alike! Gray was great at MCing and taking charge of the schedule as well. His announcements and verbiage throughout the night were thoughtful, not too wordy or cheesy and fun for all.

10 Spot: Thanks guys for being a part of the best wedding our family has had over the past 40 years. This includes family and friends weddings dating back to 1970 back in New York. Our family has gotten many compliments not only on the House Mountain Lodge but also the 10 Spot band. The dance music was great and your group entertaining. It may have also had something to do with my cow bell and whistle percussion assistance (only kidding). Thank you again. Dave Hawkins (4 27 2010)
From: Will Dobbs Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 5:03 PM To: Andrew Juge Subject: Re: 10 Spot Andrew, The wedding went off without a hitch and the band was great. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the songs they played, their interaction with the crowd, the instrumental abilities of the guitarist and bassist, etc. I had a few of my most musically savvy (and musically picky/snobby) friends tell me how good the guitarist was and that they found themselves just watching him play. We definitely had a good crowd at the front of the dance floor the entire night and it was in large part thanks to the band. Erin and I actually were forced to leave during the end of the night by the wedding coordinator so they could prepare for our "exit" because we didn't want to leave the dance floor. I think they had just gotten done playing Billy Jean and were starting Sweet Child of Mine. Erin's parents also received numerous compliments on the band. We were very pleased with the selection and really appreciate your recommendation. Best, Wil

They set up quickly and were polite and professional. I like that they could sing all the formal dance songs (first dance, father daughter dance, ect). I've seen bands in the past that cannot do that. The music was a great volume for Clifton (considering we have to respect the noise ordinance in the area) and everyone had a great time. I will definitely recommend them to future brides! Crystal Whitaker Meeting and Event Coordinator The Clifton Inn 1296 Clifton Inn Drive Charlottesville, VA 22911

-----Original Message----- From: David Epperly Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 8:48 PM To: Mike Sam HIll; Sara Page Subject: 10 spot Mike, To say things went a little different than planned on our wedding day would be a bit of an understatement. By the official start time on the big day we had over two feet of snow, the most in half a century before Christmas in Roanoke. About half of the guests had cancelled, the ceremony had to been moved to the hotel at a later time, and the rehearsal had been canned. At some point, the hotel began urging us to arrange for their in-house DJ to take over the music duties because there was “no way” the band could make it. It’s a good thing we didn’t listen. We picked the 10 spot because we knew what we were getting. Several friends had seen them perform at an earlier wedding and they came highly recommended. What we didn’t expect however was the tremendous dedication they showed in making it to Roanoke from Va Beach (~300 mi) in the worst snow storm anyone can remember. Our party was extra special. We had the right mix of people there, all dedicated, excited about being snowed in together, and ready to party after a day of making last minute adjustments. Gray and the gang hit the ground right on time (amazingly) to an already filled dance floor (waiting with anticipation) and didn’t let up for three hours. In the end we were all drenched with sweat, ears ringing, and still wanting more. Maybe it was the craziness of the day but several guests have gone so far as to say that it was the best reception that they have ever been to. Any band that travels through that mess (for who knows how many hours total) to deliver such a quality show gets the highest recommendation we can give.... to anyone. -Dave and Sara Epperly

Charlie, 10 Spot was a fantastic band - the music was great and we received a ton of positive feedback from everyone that attended. They were easy to work with and very professional. Once our wedding day arrived, it was seamless and their performance heightened our experience. Also, one of the guests at our wedding asked for some information on the band for a future wedding - we’ve passed along your information to make sure you get the credit if they decide to go in that direction.

Everyone had a great time and the mother of the groom ended up paying for an extra half hour because people wouldn't stop dancing! The band was very accommodating. The groom is an amateur drummer and when one of the groomsmen told the band leader he brought him on stage to play a song. Everyone loved it and it was very nice of them to personalize it like that. They played the perfect songs for the age group of attendees as well (mostly late twenties) -- especially towards the end of the night. Earlier when the older crowd was still there, they made sure to play songs that would appeal more to them so it really was a great fit. Thanks so much, I'll definitely keep you guys in mind for future events as I've always been pleased with your bands. Thanks, Holly
