Marc was very friendly and very eager to work with us ! He gave us an amazing deal! He showed up real early to set up. Every song he played was absolutely beautiful !

I got compliments all night from our guests who just loved your voice and music! I definitely recommend Marc to play at any event !

Someone at our wedding came up to me and said "I didn't know a wedding band could actually be good…read more This band defies the wedding band stereotype, like what you see in The Wedding Singer." I think that says it all. Our guests absolutely raved about Phase 5. They are true professionals and so incredibly talented. Their versatility is amazing and they have a huge list of songs they can play. They played for our cocktail hour and then 3 hours straight (!!!) during the reception. The dance floor was packed the entire time, they read the crowd so well, and for the end of the night Josh did a fantastic job DJing based on the musical genres I requested. They also went above and beyond what we expected and saved us from a wedding disaster. We had a steel drummer booked to play during our ceremony. When he didn't show up until 5 minutes before our ceremony was starting, Phase 5 jumped right in and handled the music for when guests were arriving and during the ceremony. As for me? I was already a huge fan, having seen them perform around Tampa for years. For that reason, I chose my wedding date based on when Phase 5 was available and I booked them within a week of getting engaged. They traveled all the way to the Keys for our wedding, too. If you want a band at your wedding, this is who you need to hire. Be sure to act fast because they are in high demand -- they were doing 4 weddings the weekend of our wedding!

I think the ultimate compliment to them came when our reception was crashed by people wanting to see what kind of amazing party was going on! :) Even better, my husband and father-in-law are both finicky musicians themselves, and they wholeheartedly approved of Phase 5. Josh was so friendly and easy to contact for setting up all the details. Highly, highly recommended!!

Never recieved a call the day before. I reach out to Life of the Party at 5pm to state my concerns saying they would reach out to him. Got back with me he would call me soon, he had a busy day. Still never recieved a phone call. Reached back out to Life of the Party the morning of to get his number and reached out to him directly. Called and texted with no answer and as the time got closer I kept calling and he started to decline my phone calls. I received my deposit back but this by far the most disappointing booking I have ever done. I ended up having to go to the birthday party and explain why we no longer had a surprise for the birthday girl.

This is an amazing Tampa- based band.

Their style is a blend of rock and roll, alt country with a touch of pop. It's a 5 person band and every member is a great musician but their combined musical talent really makes the band. They mix their original songs with some covers- but their covers are off beat and they make them their originals. They are upbeat and fun and I can't say enough about them- check them out on Spotify, Facebook, Twitter and ReverbNation. GREAT original music and catchy tunes- become a Flanatic!

Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience has been a disappointment on several occasions: an inattentive staff, a disregard for customer service when it comes to guitar setups, repairs, and basic tech work. Today was the last straw for me. I had visited the store with the intention of making a trade-in and a purchase, but was told that they would not accept any trade-ins until sometime next week. I was not aware that management could simply decide when to allow or disallow trade-ins, especially when the corporate advertising proudly promotes their trade-in policies. In any event, a brief notice on the the relevant store website would have been appreciated, but no such announcement. As such, I wasted two hours of my time driving out and back (not the first time regarding other issues). From this point forward, my go-to will always be Sweetwater, GearExchange, Reverb, and privately owned guitar and music stores.
