The crew

Kelly and Jody

Gator Sounds is two people who love this. Not a company with a roster: the two faces on this page are the two you will see at the booth.

When you book Gator Sounds, you get us.

After careful thought we decided not to hire other KJs or DJs. Every show is hosted by Kelly and Jody, in person. The sound is the same, the energy is the same, and we know your name.

Host, voice of the room

Kelly Osteen

Kelly runs the mic and the crowd. If you have never sung in public, she is the reason you will tonight. She keeps the rotation fair, the energy up and remembers your song from last week.

  • Keeps the rotation fair, every night
  • Knows your name by the second visit
  • Will sing with you if you ask nicely

Sound, lights, the board

Jody Osteen

Jody built the rig: full sound, stage lights, lasers and a library of over 100,000 karaoke tracks. He mixes you so you sound like the record. Then he hits the lights.

  • Built the booth by hand
  • Mixes every singer live
  • Runs the DJ sets between songs

The booth

What comes to every show

  • Full PA sound

    Clear at the back of the patio, warm at the bar.

  • Stage lights and lasers

    Movers, washes and lasers that follow the beat.

  • Over 100,000 songs

    Country to hip hop, 50s to this week. Updated all the time.

  • Two screens

    Lyrics for you, the crowd sees you.

  • Wireless mics

    Two for duets, one spare, always charged.

  • DJ between singers

    Jody keeps the floor moving so the room never goes quiet.
