Hit Play

Hit Play is a live wedding and event band based in southeastern Massachusetts, formed in 2015 by accomplished musicians from the Boston area. Led by guitarist and singer Ryan McHugh, who brings 22 years of professional music industry experience, the band has built a reputation performing at top club venues from Boston to Newport and wedding venues throughout New England. The band is known for their versatile repertoire spanning rock, pop, funk, country, alternative, and hip-hop, with a focus on high-energy songs that keep dance floors moving. Lead female vocalist Lynn is multilingual, performing in English, Spanish, Hebrew, and French. Drummer Andy's high vocal range enables the band to deliver multipart vocal harmonies across diverse musical styles, even in smaller 4 or 5 piece configurations. Hit Play offers a song library of around 400 songs and provides state-of-the-art sound systems and uplighting. Ryan works directly with couples in the months leading up to their wedding to select appropriate song choices and adjusts the set list during performances to match the crowd and event atmosphere. The band has received multiple Best of Weddings awards from The Knot, including induction into the Best of Weddings Hall of Fame.
