"Motion picture" looking band videos (not ours -ha ha) are recorded on sound stages, with big light shows & effects - then lip-synced to previously recorded audio while the video part is being filmed. There's NOTHING at all wrong with that - it's exactly how videos on channels like MTV are made by VERY talented people.
BUT, that's often not how it's going to look or sound at YOUR event. And you're not hiring a "movie" - you're hiring a BAND.
Does your venue have (or will YOU rent) that big of a stage? Does the Band include all that "stuff"? - those lights? Do they bring ANY of it? The answer is almost always "NO" - not without paying many thousands of $$ to someone to bring all that stuff in.
...so… while our videos are nowhere near as "Hollywood-like" as others - our band sound IS being recorded while the videos are shot ..meaning that's how we sound! (AND we bring the lighting effects that we show too)
We respectfully submit our videos show a realistic & accurate impression of what you are actually going to get with us at YOUR event - as opposed to a staged look that just isn't realistic, without piling on $$ for lots of extra "stuff"
And, that we will sound this way at YOUR event too! ...Most of our clients say our videos don't do us justice... We think that's a LOT better than seeing a band that looks like Hollywood & then getting a "garage band" that leaves your guests going for earplugs. Don't you agree?
It doesn't hurt to know what to expect! :)
"You hit it out of the park. We couldn't of imagined it any better.

Thank you so much for going the extra mile and learning those songs. It was the best wedding gift anyone could of got us. You are the man. We love your style. We cannot wait to see you and the band again."

"...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!.."

"My guests rave about two things about my wedding, my Bride.. and John Parker!!
By far the easiest vendor for us to work with, John is well mannered, very conscientious & a consummate professional. He was always available for calls, questions and returned emails quickly.
Oh, and his band is the BEST. His performance kept the dance floor humming all night. Great mix of the classics and brand new top hits all mixed with our requests.
He also handled the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and played emcee. A++++"

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! :)
"Your band was AWESOME!!! We had countless friends and family inquiring about the "fantastic band."
My favorite comment was 'I mean WHO can do Michael Jackson, Andrea Boccelli, Neil Diamond, Bruno Mars, Frank Sinatra, Etta James and the O' Jays and sound just like all of them!!!!'
I am still dancing this morning!!
Thank you!!!!"
