Why Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for your wedding?
In one word: Unmatched Experience.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (DRS) brings together 6 to 7 of Milwaukee's top-tier musicians backed by over two decades of wedding performance mastery. But we don't just stop at live performance: you also get the powerhouse advantage of DJ Mike J. A staple in the Milwaukee wedding scene since 2008, Michael James Grassman ensures your entire day flows seamlessly from dinner to the final dance. Put our collective pedigree together, and you get a powerhouse crew that knows weddings inside and out.
What makes Dirty Rotten Scoundrels unique?
It’s simple: Electric, non-stop energy.
We don't just play songs—we pack your dance floor and keep it moving all night long, leaving your guests talking about the party for years to come. Pair that electrifying stage presence with our deep industry know-how, and DRS stands head and shoulders above traditional cover bands.
The Ultimate Booking Advantage: Need flexibility? DRS features two powerhouse female lead singers whom we rotate between events. That means greater date availability for your big day without ever compromising on elite, world-class vocals.

Do you do any announcements or Emcee'ing? (MC) : Yes. DJ Mike J is your master of ceremonies from start to finish. Michael will work with you in the planning stages to ensure all necessary announcements are made, names are pronounced correctly and bring energy to keep your guests on their toes and ready to party!
Do you provide ceremony music? Yes, as long as the location for the ceremony is the same as the reception. We have many options for your music needs to choose from. We can either provide your selections of prerecorded music or even have a classy and fitting live performance by members of the band with accompaniment of acoustic guitar or keyboards. We are even able to provide the microphones for your officiant and vows!
Do you provide cocktail hour or dinner music? Yes, much like the ceremony, we are at your disposal for performing during cocktail hour and offer prerecorded music during dinner. We are also available to perform during your specialty dances, like your first dance, or DJ those moments as well.
What is your attire? Professional with style! We love representing ourselves much like the name. Classy, wild and a bit over the top.
What happens if you have equipment failure? As every musician should, we bring backup equipment to every show. From guitars to tablets with music, we have all our bases covered.
Will you play the music we want? Absolutely! This is our guarantee to you. We will send you a master list of our songs for you to build the set-list to reflect you and your guests. We will also have all your additional music ready to go during ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner music, band breaks and end of the night by your DJ.
Do you take requests? Yes, we love requests. If the band cannot perform it, that is why our DJ is there to cover those requests.
What exactly is your experience? All the members of DRS have performed for various other weddings bands over the past 20 years. They fully understand the importance and attention to detail needed to ensure you receive the entertainment you envision for your wedding. In addition, our band leader has performed over 300 weddings as a DJ and band member since 2008.
Do you require a deposit? Yes, to secure the date for both parties. We have a very simple contract that protects us, but more importantly you as well.
Do you do advanced planning with the venues? Yes, Michael is our point of contact for the venue and any other vendors that require information from the band. He will contact them and your coordinator to ensure the band fits in perfectly with your schedule and ensure we do not interfere with any other vendors or venue plans.
