I went to an event in Kingston NY and saw this fantastic live band! Not only was their show spectacular but the songs they performed were top notch! Super high energy and very dynamic! I would recommend this band to anyone needing a band to perform at their event!

Lara Hope & The Ark-Tones played for an outdoor birthday BBQ for us yesterday. I communicated about the arrangements beforehand with the band's singer, Lara. She was friendly, business-like, and a great communicator. The band arrived without any trouble, set up, and were very courteous. Most importantly, this band is a great time. Wonderful music, written by them. If you are looking for musicians with heart, and not just "some cover band" to fill space, look no further.
