You don’t get a second take when someone walks down the aisle. The music either carries the moment or it doesn’t. That’s why we still play live. That’s why we still play acoustic. We’ve played as wedding parties entered to the sound of Dvořák, and in that moment, all the ambient chatter and light music seemed to fall away. It…
