The Box Band MADE our party!

I wholeheartedly recommend anyone hire The Box Band for your event. The Band was so easy to work with, genuine, funny and talented. They helped bring my husband's 40th birthday from a chill gathering at a barn to a night of real merriment for our friends & fam. My husband also jammed with them for happy birthday which was really cool. Thanks again guys!

What to expect

The Box Band is a high energy, family friendly show with a loose feel and crowd interaction.
The most enjoyable part about The Box Band is the vast array of covers they are able to perform in their own style. Their original music is also fun and palatable for everyone. The Box Band has two full sound systems, and when playing weddings, offer a cocktail hour performance as well as post dinner DJ services without having to move any gear.

About
