"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! :)
"another epic performance by the JPBand.
I gave you 5 stars and would select more if I could.
Couples we talk to still talk about you guys and we're trying to recruit you for a few more events around here in the hopes of seeing you again.
Thanks, again, for providing the music to such a fantastic day"

"Hi John, Thank YOU! We were excited that you were able to perform for Anne’s wedding and Dan’s party. I have one simple requirement for a fabulous party: The John Parker Band! The dance floor was always packed, and no one wanted to leave. People were complementing ME, when all I did was call YOU. How can I take credit for that?! Even non-dancers were up there dancing. So many commented on your talent, range of songs, and that the music never stopped for a break. So thanks for making the party such a fun success!.." -- Barb Eichenlaub READ MORE JOHN PARKER BAND REVIEWS

"Thank you for making our vision for our wedding a reality.
More than anything, Michael and I wanted the reception to be a party, with lots of dancing. And that’s exactly the mood you and the band provided.
Your song selections were excellent, and the music (and fun) never stopped.
You really made the night perfect and were so professional. Having you provide the entertainment for the wedding was one of the best decisions that we made!"

"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 "

"...we could not have been happier with you and your band. Our family and friends are still talking about how much fun the band was.
I thought you would like what we did when you performed Bohemian Rhapsody haha. Our group is also just a bit silly so it is the perfect storm when you add an open bar to the mix.
We did have a videographer and he said he got us both playing with the band on Don't Stop Believing!
and Many thanks for helping us coordinate everything. It was a true success and we had an awesome time!

PLEASE NOTE: 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 pro video people to interrupt people's events! - So... we take what we get & just have to accept what's here is not ideal in terms of sound or look.
Also, sometimes people understandably 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! :)
