About Encore Bands

Encore Bands is a premier live entertainment company delivering high-energy, unforgettable performances for weddings, corporate events, galas, and private celebrations. We combine elite musicianship, polished presentation, and seamless coordination to create an atmosphere your guests will never forget.

Our Story

Founder David Lemley built his career performing and producing luxury events across Southern California - coastal weddings, black-tie galas, and high-profile corporate celebrations where flawless execution was the standard. That experience shaped an approach rooted in professionalism, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what makes an event truly exceptional.

When David relocated to Utah, he saw an opportunity to bring the California high-end event experience to a thriving local market - at competitive pricing that makes top-tier entertainment accessible to more clients. Encore Bands delivers that same level of production value and energy to events of every size, from intimate gatherings to large-scale productions.
