The Mixed Nuts Song List

Six hundred songs. Nine pieces. Six vocalists and a full horn section, playing live in medleys so the dance floor never gets a reason to sit down.

This is the working repertoire of The Mixed Nuts — the New Orleans–based party band booked internationally for weddings, Fortune 500 corporate events, galas and festivals. Every song below is played live by the band. No backing tracks, no laptop, no filler.

  • 611Songs in the book
  • 9Pieces, every show
  • 6Lead vocalists
  • 150+Shows a year

How We Play It

In medleys, not one song at a time. A three-minute song ends, the floor thins, and you spend the next thirty seconds winning the room back. We stitch songs together so that never happens. Over a hundred songs can go by in a night because the energy never resets.

Nine pieces, always. The Mixed Nuts is a nine-piece band and a complete show every single time — award-winning female vocalists and a full horn section included. We do not scale the band down to fit a budget. If your event also needs a jazz trio for cocktail hour or a ceremony, we book that separately through our list of approved vendors.

Requests are part of the job. If your first dance, your father–daughter dance, your CEO’s favourite song or your company’s walk-on music is not on this list, tell us early and we will learn it.

Nutty Songs

We are called The Mixed Nuts for a reason. These come out when the room has earned them.

  • Girl You Know It’s TrueMilli Vanilli
  • My Ding-A-LingChuck Berry
  • Never Gonna Give You UpRick Astley
  • Part Of Your WorldThe Little Mermaid
  • Beauty and The BeastBeauty and The Beast
  • A Whole New WorldAladdin

Song List Questions We Get Asked

How many songs does The Mixed Nuts play in one night?

Well over a hundred. Because we play in medleys rather than one song at a time, we cover far more ground in a four-hour show than a band that stops between numbers. The full book runs past 600 songs.

Can you learn a song that is not on your song list?

Yes. Custom requests are a normal part of the job — first dances, father-daughter dances, walk-on music for an executive, a company anthem. Give us the request with reasonable notice and we will have it ready.

How big is the band?

Nine pieces, every time. Six lead vocalists including award-winning female vocalists, plus a full horn section. We do not scale the band down. If you also need a jazz trio for a ceremony or cocktail hour, we arrange that through our list of approved vendors.

Do you take requests during the event?

Yes, within reason. We build a plan with you in advance — must-plays, do-not-plays, key moments — and then read the room from the stage. If something is not in the book we will tell you honestly rather than fake it.

Do you play weddings, ceremonies and first dances?

Yes. Our ballad and standards sections are built for exactly that: first dances, parent dances, dinner sets and processionals. See our wedding band page for how we run a reception.

Do you travel outside New Orleans?

Constantly. The Mixed Nuts are booked internationally — Cleveland, New York, Las Vegas, Omaha, Philadelphia, London, Dubai and Barcelona among them. New Orleans is where we are based, not the limit of where we play.

Do you play New Orleans music?

It is our home catalogue and one of the main reasons clients fly us in. Fats Domino, Irma Thomas, Ernie K-Doe, The Meters, Professor Longhair, Louis Armstrong and a proper second line.

What kind of events do you play?

Weddings, Fortune 500 corporate events, conventions, galas, Mardi Gras balls, festivals and private parties. See our corporate event band page for the corporate side of the business.

Tell Us What Your Room Needs

Send us the date, the city and roughly how many people. We will come back with what we would put on that stage, which parts of this list we would build the night around, and what it costs.
