"Motion picture" looking band videos (not ours - 😆) are recorded on sound stages, with super expensive cameras & lighting, & recording studios & all kinds of effects - then the singing is lip-synced to previously recorded audio while the video part is being filmed.
There's NOTHING at all wrong with famous recording artists doing that - it's exactly how music videos on channels like MTV are made.
BUT, that's often not how it's going to look or sound at YOUR event. And if you think about it, you're NOT hiring a "movie" - you're hiring a BAND. And, in our opinion, what you should want is a good idea as to what that's REALLY going to be like.
..So.. while our videos are nowhere near as "Hollywood-like" as others - our band singing & playing IS being recorded LIVE while the videos are shot ..meaning that's HOW WE SOUND! Not how some recording studio sounds..
We respectfully submit our videos show a realistic & accurate impression of what you are actually going to get with us at YOUR event - as opposed to a staged look that just isn't realistic, without piling on $$ for lots of extra "stuff"
And, that means we will look & sound this way at YOUR event too! ...Most of our clients say our videos don't do us justice.. Ok then.. but we think that's a LOT better than seeing a band that looks & sounds online like Hollywood & then getting something MASSIVELY worse at your wedding.. Don't you agree?
It doesn't hurt to know what to - REALISTICALLY - expect! 😍
"You guys were absolutely fabulous!!

From day one, I was impressed with John and his professionalism. John takes care of everything. From venue coordination to setting the atmosphere as your MC.
He's adaptable to any situation and makes changes on the fly if something comes up. Bottom line - he and his band are worth it!!"

“John Parker Band was a complete and total HIT with all of our guests. Absolutely spectacular, such talent.
Combine that with JP's stage presence & emceeing and any guest from our wedding will tell you JPB is the best band they've ever seen.
We chose JPB because we had seen them at two other weddings and were blown away. 10/10 recommend, super easy to work with during the planning process, as well.
Book JPB, you will not be disappointed! The best”

"...you kept the room rocking, and I am still getting compliments about how great you were.
My sister-in-law originally was hoping for a DJ because she thinks that they are always better (in her mind). But AFTER the wedding, she was sold on a live band — as long as it is YOU! We could not have been happier!
Thank you for doing a great job and helping to make the wedding so much fun!.."

“We've seen John & band at our club on Palm Beach for events and had him for my daughter's wedding.
He's amazing, really knows how to read a crowd, play songs for all ages & always keeps the dance floor full.
Our daughter's friends also loved him and the band, and our friends did too, so we were super happy all the way around.
Great singer, fun MC, and a nice guy too. Super easy to work with & professional, so we recommend him highly.”

"You guys were INCREDIBLE! There are no words, honestly.
I cannot tell you how many people asked where we found you guys… because everyone wants to have you play at their wedding too!
I truly cannot thank you and your band enough for making our day absolutely amazing. I have never been to a wedding where when the lights turn on at the end of the night the dance floor was full, but you did tell me that would be the case and you did not disappoint.
Thank You, thank you, thank you, Bri "

------------------------> SCROLL or SWIPE to the right to see ALL the clips! -------------------->
At events, people that shoot video on their phones have NO idea where to stand so it doesn't sound weird, or look dark - but we're NOT going to send out some cameraman to interrupt people's events! - So... we take what we get & just have to accept what's here is not great sounding or looking.
Also, sometimes people seem to like to record the most "interactive" moments, like JP singing to the crowd, or the guests acting goofy, etc... and accordingly, that's a lot of what you see here. While those moments are unquestionably fun - all the video of it might leave the impression that's all we do - While nothing could be further from the truth.
There's a time & place for that kind of thing - please trust we have the common sense to know when that's the case! :)
