Great time had by all.

First I would like to say Thank you to all the guys!! and hope you had as much fun as we did , because we had and amazing time and will be booking you again.
Now on to my review. I hired the band to play a private party at my home, The music selection was great there seemed to be a little something for everyone. They were very nice and once all set up made sure to check with us to see if we wanted more volume or less volume,they were very accommodating even to some of our more hydrated guests. The sound was great,and it was repeated by my guests throughout the night that "THIS BAND IS GREAT" and where did you find them. If you are reading this them you know I found them right here on gig salad.. booking through gig salad was very easy.
If you are looking for a great party band look no further Sons of a beach is the band for you.
Cheers and thanks again ,
Great time was had by all

My Sister's 80th Birthday party

Ray and Rob did everything to make our party great. Despite the awful heat they played on and on! there were some dancers but the heart got to everyone. They had a slide show and gave out CDs and were very personable. Fun guys. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have music at their event!!! 10 stars!!!!
