Or just simply wanting to add a little bit of “wow factor” to your next private event? Then Young Love and The Thrills is for you!</p> <p>This week, I am talking with Andy Wesby, Owner, Manager, and Performer of Young Love and The Thrills. Young Love and the Thrills is a Boston Wedding and Party Band consisting of eight members, and has collectively toured both nationally and internationally. With over 500 weddings and numerous awards under their belt, it’s no wonder people want to book Young Love and The Thrills for their own wedding, private, and corporate events!</p> <p>In this episode, Andy shares his passion for music and how he went from touring in 2010, managing and rebranding Young Love and The Thrills in 2013, to now touring roughly 50 weddings a year. We discuss why the wedding industry is breaking away from tradition, how the global pandemic impacted the wedding industry, and what Andy considers professional success.</p> <p><strong>Topics Discussed:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Hardships faced in the wedding industry during Covid-19</li> <li>Misconceptions around wedding bands and music entertainment</li> <li>How the wedding industry has changed over the past decade</li> <li>Why college isn’t necessary to have a successful career</li> </ul> <p><strong>Connect with Young Love and The Thrills:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Website: </strong><a href="https://www.youngloveandthethrills.com/"><u>https://www.youngloveandthethrills.com/</u></a></li> <li><strong>Facebook: </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/YoungLoveAndTheThrills/"><u>https://www.facebook.com/YoungLoveAndTheThrills/</u></a></li> <li><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/youngloveandthethrills/"><u>https://www.instagram.com/youngloveandthethrills/</u></a></li> <li><strong>YouTube: </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGwY85joBqA"><u>https://www.you
