Cocktail Hour Music - Different ideas?

I wanted a steel drum band at my cocktail hour because its fun and different, but my brother is getting married 4 months before me and they decided to do the same thing (they didn't know i was thiniking of doing that). So what are some other fun ideas for the cocktail hour?

If you're a fan of Billy Joel, there is a 'cover' band called Big Shot. I've heard they do cocktails hours for weddings. They are amazing. www.bigshottribute.com It think this is the right web address.

I don't know if you're into this or not, but my friend had a strolling guitarist at her wedding. It had sort of a Latin feel to it and her and the groom had met in Ecuador so it was perfect. And very unique.

unofrtunately the wedding with the strolling guitarist guy was in Annapolis. BUt I'm sure there must be someone a vendor can recommend.
