Joining the Gold Coast Events team in 2017, The Lakeshore Encores are led by American Idol’s Angela Martin Fields. Featuring 11-13+ pieces with a smokin’ horn section and six different vocalists, they're just as apt to bring the house down with 'All The Small Things' as they are with 'This is How We Do It'. Their mastery of soul, motown, and funk keeps dance floors grooving all night long.

Rush Street Rhythm has been killing weddings since their inception in 2019. The band can be as small as ten pieces but mainly performs at 11+, with a young, fresh crew of Chicago's finest original talent. Whether it’s mashing up The Beatles with Eminem, or Bruno Mars with The Red Hot Chili Peppers, they’ve continued the Gold Coast All Stars' tradition of bringing unmistakable energy to each and every performance. Their ability to read the crowd turns events into the most incredible concerts.

Like The Golden Coast All Stars in LA, the band follows the Gold Coast Events formula - featuring 2 female singers (one pop/rock, and one soul/r&b), multiple guitar player singers (pop/rock/country), male soul singers, and a rapper to be able to hit every different kind of music with authenticity and a natural feel. Made up of the best talent from Nashville's immense music scene and featuring 9-15+ pieces, the band plays with an infectious energy and cool factor that only comes from the Gold Coast brand.
The Music City All Stars are the newest edition to the Gold Coast Events family. Our founder Danny Chaimson enlisted longtime friend and collaborator Chris Culos (founding drummer of O.A.R.) to head up the Music City crew. Chris has rocked every stage and place in every way imaginable - he's a true rockstar and an awesome guy.

“You made us feel special throughout the night, from bringing us onstage to close it out, to getting on the dance floor with the horns… We loved hearing you jam to "Let's Stay Together" during dinner, and we could see our guests dancing in their seats while they ate!”
