The Carbon Copy Band is awesome, my customers absolutely loved this band. Comments like best band ever and bring them back every week were the norm. Great to deal with and excellent selection of music. I saw my business increase 20% on the nights the Carbon Copy Band played. I would recommend them for any event.
The Carbon Copy Band is AWESOME! This is the 3rd time we have had them play for our Halloween Party and we LOVE THEM! They play a wide range of favorites that people of all ages can enjoy and are really great at getting the crowd dancing! The guys in the band are wonderful people and super friendly with great personalities! Everyone LOVES these guys and our party just wouldn't be the same without them! My personal favorite songs - "Mustang Sally" and "Margaritaville"!! Oh, and "Brown-Eyed Girl"!!
