"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! 😍
"...We would like to say THANK YOU! You and your band made our wedding awesome. Everyone was raving about you and your band's talents. From your range, depth, and selection everyone had a great time....Several couples have already approached us about contacting your band in the future. Just like the website shows and our guests did too, you guys get people out there on the dance floor having fun and letting loose, wanting to get a picture and sing with you. We can't convey in words truly what a wonderful day we had and reception with your band's performance. We really do hope to see your band in the future many times at weddings or perhaps other events. You are a sincere, genuine person and a pleasure to work with during our wedding stress, and not to mention an amazing performer. We would be happy to recommend you to anyone..." - Kevin & Lindsay Mullaney
"The band truly WOWED the crowd. We received an unreal amount of compliments.
John has a sense of knowing exactly the songs the guests are vibing to and chooses the best music to keep up the momentum.
They were kind, professional, excellent with communication and sounded amazing.
He really made everyone feel at ease and have the best time dancing"

“John Parker Band was absolutely awesome for my wedding!
The way they performed everything - from modern day top 40, to oldies, made our night amazing.
They accommodated all of our requests, and even performed our "first dance" song better than we could have thought.
My friends and I were dancing all night on the dance floor because of them.
I would highly recommend the JPBand if you are in search of band for your special day!”

------------------------> 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! :)
"John, Wow, you are the real deal!
From beginning to end you are a true professional, talented artist, Grand MC & businessman. I feel fortunate that we connected with you..
I thank you for all your considerable talent & efforts. All the best!
PS: We gave you 5 stars & would have given you 6 if we could have!"

Such a great singer and emcee, with a hugely fun ice-breaking personality. His experience and his classy but fun & down to earth way with people was perfect for our guests.
Our whole group were dancing the entire time - JP just keeps it going - super obvious it wasn't the first time he's done this.. LOL.
Hopefully you'll get him for your wedding. Then invite us please!”

“We had the 8 piece JP band for our wedding and John did not disappoint!
They were great, and given unfortunate experiences my friends had with their bands, we feel lucky we got him.
Our friends went from their 20s to 30s, & our parents and other guests to their 70s & John got them ALL dancing. He took requests & had an upbeat vibe.
We’re extremely happy to recommend JPB to anybody wanting fun for everyone & to not have to worry about anything”
