Live Music Entertainment in Destin FL | MoDvyne Performing Live on the SOLARIS Yacht
EdMo & Gwen DVyne aka MoDvyne Music will set your night to music as you cruise the Choctwatchee Bay aboard SOLARIS.
You will enjoy live music throughout dinner service, performed on the Main Deck and heard on all three decks through the house sound system. MoDvyne covers artists including the Isley Brothers, Alicia Keys, Bill Withers, The Temptations, The Commodores, Fleetwood Mac, The Steve Miller Band, James Taylor, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Lionel Richie, Macy Gray, Hall & Oats, Sade, Chris Stapleton and more.
After dessert, they transform the fine dining supper club experience into a dance club vibe. They turn down the lights and turn up the music as they DJ family-friendly classic dance songs from every genre and decade. They lead guests in line dances and interact with guests to keep the party going. You can choose to dance in the air-conditioned comfort of a dining salon steps away from your table or on the open-air Sky Deck under the stars.
If dancing isn’t your thing, feel free to slip away from your table to a more intimate spot on the outer 2nd Deck where the music volume is set to accommodate conversation. If everyone has danced til they can’t dance no more, MoDvyne will end the night with a live “Night Cap Set” as Solaris returns to the dock. MoDvyne strives to create the perfect combination of 3-hours of romance and fun! A little something for everyone.
About the Live Music on Our Destin Dinner Cruises
MoDvyne will play on the main deck of the SOLARIS yacht but their soothing, tropical sounds can be heard throughout all three decks of the SOLARIS yacht. After toasting to the sunset on the sky deck, guests can return to their tables to begin their three-course meal while listening to the live music. MoDvyne’s sound is a natural compliment to the coastal views and ever-changing sunset as the SOLARIS leisurely cruises through the Destin waters. Guests can sit back and relax while listening to the live music, dance under the stars on the Sky Deck or they can make their way to the dance floor on the main deck.
