The GMOB is the ultimate party band! Covering top 40 hits from the 60's to today across classic rock, alternative, pop, country, reggae and more! Always bringing stellar music and vocal excellence to every live stage with energy and excitement for all! Consistently jumping genres, mashing up influences, and professionally covering the top classics for diverse venues and private parties across the USA. Gina Osmond met Kevin Brock around 2017 in Utah. They began working together in a local band performing around Utah and neighboring states. It was needless to say their connection did not just include music! They quickly fell in love, married, and soon after established The GMOB in Salt Lake City. The couple also performs as a piano/vocal duo version of The GMOB at local fine restaurants and other venues. Gina Marie Osmond is a second-generation grandchild of the famous Osmond family of Ogden, Utah. Her father is George Virl Osmond Jr, the eldest son who was born deaf. Donny and Marie Osmond are Gina's aunt and uncle. Gina has been singing and performing since the age of 16. Throughout high school and college, Gina performed in various local rock and country bands as well as many musical productions. In the mid-1990s, Gina spent several seasons with her family performing at the professional Osmond Family Theater in Branson, MO. During the 2000s (in California), Gina took time off from music to focus on raising her two children. Once her kids were grown and successfully focused on their own directions, Gina and her kids moved back to Utah in 2015. Kevin Charles Brock started his music career in New York City, playing in tribute bands. After moving to Utah, he majored in Piano Pedagogy at BYU. Upon graduation, he started touring around the country with an original band that played with Berlin among other national artists. He finally settled down to start a family and continued his music career playing in corporate/wedding bands. He has played in the local area for over 30 years in bands including Electric Toy, The Crush, Irie Heights, Perfect Disorder, Timeless, The GMOB, just to name a few. Kevin is known for his ability to reproduce studio sounds live, lead and harmony singing and overall proficiency on the keyboards and piano.See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is a mariachi band?

Mariachi bands are rooted in Mexican culture. Traditional mariachi bands consisted of two or more members playing stringed instruments, wearing regional costumes adapted from the charro (Mexican horseman or cowboy). Modern mariachi bands, which are likely what you’re looking for when searching for a mariachi band for hire, feature at least four members who play stringed instruments (violin, vihuela, bass guitar called guitarron) and one or more trumpets. The costumes have remained the same, but now trumpets are synonymous with mariachi music. Mariachi bands for hire often play a wide range of music, including styles originating from Mexico and adopted from elsewhere. These include jarabes, waltzes, serenades, corridos (Mexican ballads), ranchera, cumbia, and more. Mariachi bands for hire bring a festive and soulful element to a party, birthday, wedding, corporate affair, fundraiser or community event. UNESCO has inscribed mariachi music on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

How many mariachis can a band have?

A mariachi band for hire can have as many players as you like. Modern mariachi bands typically have a minimum of four players with the trumpet playing a vital musical role along with stringed instruments such as the violin, guitarrón (a Mexican bass guitar with a deep body), vihuela (a Spanish stringed guitar) and guitar. Strong vocals are also an important component of mariachi bands for hire, since one or more of the players will be singing during the performance. For a truly spectacular show, you can hire a mariachi band with 15 or more players. The medley of stringed instruments, multiple trumpets, soaring vocals, and even an accordion or harp is powerful and beautiful. Mariachis typically wear the traditional costume of charros — Mexican horsemen. The look is a very regal, monotone suit, often in black or white, with silver adornments and embroidery. Mariachi bands often wear sombreros as well. Traditional mariachi bands were only made up of two or more players, according to a UNESCO report celebrating the cultural heritage of the musical style. The style of music originated in the state of Jalisco. Now the style of music is symbolic of Mexico but is celebrated all over the world, and adds a fabulous vibrancy to any group’s events, parties and weddings.

How much do mariachi bands cost?

The cost of a mariachi band for hire will depend on how many players are in the group. Each musician in a performance group needs to be paid, so pricing is usually based on the number of mariachis (musicians), the location of the event (and travel time required), and the length of the performance.

Day of the week also affects cost, as does day — Christmas, New Year’s Eve and other major holidays will cost more than regular days.
