Suave Guitarist
"Richard was fantastic from start to finish! He responded immediately to our inquiry and maintained excellent and consistent communication throughout the entire planning process. He arrived fully prepared with all of his own equipment and performed an upbeat selection of familiar songs that our guests truly enjoyed and sang along with him. His talent, professionalism and engaging performance style created the perfect atmosphere for our cocktail party. We would gladly work with him again and highly recommend him for any event!! Our clients couldn't stop asking "who was that fabulous guitarist!""
Doug Earley Saxophonist

"Wow! So much fun! Everyone needs more friends like this! Soaring lead vocals with spine tingling harmonies paired with melting lead guitar, keys and to top it all off groove inducing bass and drums. Rent a Friend Band is the whole package and provides something for everyone, with a set list curated from all your favorite hits spanning multiple generations! These fun loving professional musicians are a pleasure to work with. They had our venue popping and we can't wait to have them back."
Private Affair Band
"Have you ever wondered what makes a great party? We learned quickly that it is Private Affairs. We hired this band for an upscale 70th Birthday Party, and without them, this event would have been just another party. The theme was the 70s, and not only did all the band members embrace it by dressing in 70s garb, but they also embraced the spirit of the party and created the most fun and engaging atmosphere. They are consummate professionals and wonderful human beings. Their interaction with the party-goers helped make this event fun and memorable for everyone. All evening long, our guests came up to us and said things like, "What a band", and "Who are these great musicians"? If you want to elevate your event and are looking for FUN, do not hesitate to engage Private Affairs."
