Wedding music for the non-conformist
Wedding music for the non-conformist couple.
Manly beards, craft beer, and daisies. Enter the hipster.
2015 was the year of the hipster. It was a non-conformists paradise. And with that came the rise in wedding music that was anything but typical. From childhood superhero theme songs like “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” to “Gold on the Ceiling” by the Black Keys, no stone was unturned and all bets were off.
Many wedding djs found themselves in a challenging position because we tend to play it safe with what wedding music we know works. But this past year, I loved the challenge. It really forces you think outside the box and really LISTEN to the music to find a place for it.
What we found was a treasure trove of ideas that really focused on a concert like experience rather than the chicken dance, electric slide, and YMCA which just proves… you don’t always need a knock down drag out dance party for the wedding to be successful. Maybe you really enjoy sing alongs and power ballads. Some of the most memorable music makes a cameo on a goof in a movie.
Here’s some non-conformist wedding music that we played this year. There are no rules to have a good time. Just let your wedding music move you.
Black Keys – Gold on the Ceiling
Dropkick Murphys – Shipping up to Boston
Annie Lenox – Walking on Broken Glass
Harry Belafonte – Banana Boat Song
