The Pictures

The Pictures are a solid variety dance group that provides a quality presentation of America's favorite dance songs from the 40's to the 90's.  The group has been performing in Texas and the southern United States for 20 years.  The founder and leader, Mr. Byron Smith is the drummer and handles the business affairs for the group.  Other members of the Pictures have been with Byron for as many as 15 years.
The Pictures began as a tight, well-rehearsed rock band that was an instant success in the Austin TX college party market and built a loyal following from there.  They made their way to the popular "6th street" night club scene and continued to build a strong fan base.  As the members of the band have grown in their performing abilities and talent, their audience has also matured.  The Pictures have been expanding their repertoire to include a wide variety of material to satisfy their now increasing corporate market.
The Pictures provide a style of music for every aspect of the corporate event, from cocktail music as the event begins to the background music for dinner and on to some of the most energetic dance music around. The band can arrange to support featured performers and then kick in the dance material to satisfy the most diverse requests offered by the clients and guests.
To better accommodate the changing tastes of the private party scene, The Pictures have added to the original combo/group instrumentation featured female and male vocalists.  Each of the singers are show stoppers on their own and together they offer a combination of available songs that can't be topped.  To better serve the increasing requests for the lounge and show songs that have become so popular, The Pictures now appear with the addition of a horn section.  When the horns kick in for the 70's and 80's rock and disco as well as the big band and hip 'retro/jump swing' selections, the dance floor fills to overflowing.
The Pictures understand the increasing demand to entertain on several levels.  To offer their clients and customers more than the average band, The Pictures have invested in a start of the art intelligent light system that features computer controlled concert quality lighting effects.  In conjunction with the sound system the band owns and operates, the production value of The Pictures' show is second to none in the Texas market.
The Pictures have a confidence and poise in their stage presentation that speaks of the performance experience they have gained during the last 20 years.  They have become masters of programming the song selections they play to accommodate the energy flow of the event.  The Pictures break the old show business saying, The Pictures never leave the guests wanting more.
