Couldn't imagine having a party with out Split2nd Band!

We have had Split2nd band play at 3 of our July 4th parties and really couldn't imagine not having the party without them. All of the band members are friendly and do everything imaginable to make the music a total success. From the types of songs ranging from The Beatles to Bruno Mars and everything in between when the band members are preforming they are also just as entraining to watch as they are to listen to. Our party is an outdoor party and the sound system and lighting are awesome. Every year our guest rave about the band and are looking forward to the following year so they can bring their friends to the party. Split 2nd is a complete package for an amazing value. We've had other parties before and had a play list on our ipod but nothing can compare with having live music to make a party ROCK! Like we said before couldn't imagine having a 4th of July party with out Split2nd Band.

Good for parties? I'd say so.

I had Split2nd play at my 30th birthday party and thought that they were incredible. I'd seen them at a few different venues before and thought that they would be the perfect fit for my party. Everyone in the band fits in their role perfectly and they're all very personable to boot. I couldn't be happier with how they played at my party and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a band to play at a private event.

Awesome band

I have personally made a point to attend as many events as possible where Split2nd is playing. They are an excellent band and not only do they fully and quite obviously love playing their music for others to enjoy, those who come to listen and dance completely enjoy them. I have enjoyed them so much over the past few years that I finally asked them to play at our annual pool party and everyone who attended just raved about them. They are so personable, engaging and just plain fun to listen to. They are very audience friendly and their music is energizing. Their music is diverse, and their play list is never ending. :) Excellent band! I give them 5 Stars!!!!!
