ESSEX’S number one wedding band is preparing to bring their "infectious pop grooves" to a picturesque riverside village near Colchester.

For eight years, Electric Ocean, the top-rated wedding band in the county with the highest Google Business rating in its category, have been making waves on dance floors across the country.

From the elegant halls of Goodwood House and The Ritz to the rustic charm of The Tudor Barn and Houchins, Electric Ocean have graced prestigious venues and beloved wedding hotspots. 

Now, the musical mavericks are preparing to electrify the village of Rowhedge with their annual public showcase on January 27 at the Ye Olde Albion.

"We live for creating the soundtrack to people's happiest day," said lead singer Carnell Cook.

"Every wedding is unique, and we take pride in crafting sets that make the night truly special."

Forged in the fires of Colchester Institute's music program, the four BA Honours graduates bring their diverse musical backgrounds together to create a genre-bending sonic tapestry.

Guests can expect infectious pop grooves, soulful ballads, funky licks, and a dash of Motown magic, all sprinkled with contemporary hits guaranteed to get the party moving.

Entry is free with the performance starting at 8pm.
