For over a decade, Excesss Karaoke has brought award winning karaoke entertainment to some of the best venues in the city. It is hard to say exactly what makes our shows so much fun (and so successful for the venues that host our nights)- but we thought we would TRY to go over SOME of the things that might make OUR flavor of karaoke so EXCESSSIVELY good!

Hosts who live and breathe karaoke

There may be a lot of people who try to run karaoke nights... but no one can touch what Excesss Karaoke hosts bring show after show. We don't just host a karaoke night... we make it a party! Our hosts are a special group. They get the energy level up, make crowds feel welcome, they sing and enjoy singing and make it a party. We are always looking for the RIGHT type of energetic, reliable, entertaining personalities to become new hosts and join the Excesss team. We train our hosts to have an ear for levels and sound quality, to be energetic, and to provide a fair rotation with all of our awesome weekly crowds.

Better promotion, online and off.

Excesss Karaoke utilizes our website and social media to promote every karaoke gig we have. We post pictures and videos from all of our various performances that really generate a lot of buzz. Make sure to see our shows listings for the times, days, address, and even maps to every venue where we perform.

Excesss Karaoke works closely with our venues to help them promote and build successful karaoke nights. We offer NO-TERM contracts with all of our venues- we only want to be in a venue if they want us there, and if our night proves successful Karaoke gets people interacting, enjoying their night out, and people stay in bars longer when there is something to do. Our top notch sound, well-trained hosts, large songbook, and professional marketing services combine to provide our clients with the best karaoke experience possible.

The bottom line is that Excesss Karaoke believes in what we do, and we strive to be the best at it. Karaoke is not just a job, it is a passion. We strive to share that passion with all who come to our shows.

The truth is, the whole is so much better than just the sum of its parts. Maybe it comes down to our company philosophy - of making each show we do the BEST show we have ever done.

Meet Mr. Excesss himself -Dave Casto

Excesss Karaoke is part of the Excesss Productions family of services. Excesss started as a one-person karaoke and mobile DJ outfit, by the company's founder, Dave Casto. It is hard to understand the Excesss philosophy - of making impressions vs excuses, of always giving 100%, of making friends of every person we meet at each show, of making every show we do the best show we have ever done- without getting to know Dave. To that end, check out a couple of articles written about him - it might give a little insight as to what makes Excesss stand out as a karaoke company.
