Midnight Piano Band
The Midnight Piano Band is all about the live, musical performance. They are a throwback to when bands actually played their instruments and sang on stage. It seems hard to believe, but a band with this level of commitment to live sound is becoming quite rare. In the Midnight Piano Band, there are no laptops, no backing tracks, no tricks, and no gimmicks. What you see is what you hear, and what you hear is awesome.
The band loves playing classic piano rock hits from the 70s and 80s by artists such as Elton John, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Journey, and Bill Withers. The band also plays a variety of other hits that you know and love by artists like Earth Wind & Fire, Hall & Oates, Rihanna, R. Kelly, Justin Timberlake, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, Garth Brooks, Sublime, Whitney Houston, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Usher, and so many more.

The Midnight Piano Band prides themselves on professionalism and musicianship. They are sharply dressed, on time, and fully prepared to make sure everyone is singing and dancing the night away. For quieter occasions like cocktail hours or dinners, the band is fully capable of playing as soft as necessary. So whether it’s loud and raucous, or quiet and intimate, the Midnight Piano Band will deliver exactly the mood you need.

Reviews
The Midnight Piano Band exceeded our expectations at our wedding! We gave them a brief list of must-plays for the band and song ideas for the DJ and they ran with it; we barely had to do any work! They were flexible and allowed for me to add a dance with my grandfather which was very meaningful to us. EVERYONE commented on how great they sounded and their songs suited all ages (they weren't overplayed radio songs of today but a great variety of classics/moderns like Billy Joel, Elton John, Queen, Coldplay, and Dave Matthews--and they play so much more). I even remember enjoying their music during dinner and I can't typically recall much of the dinner music played at most weddings. The dance floor was crowded the entire night; so much so that they didn't want to take a break! They were such a hit and one of our best vendor decisions. THANK YOU Midnight Piano Band
Marisa A. – 7.7.18 Wedding
Midnight Piano Band did an amazing job at our wedding - we could not be happier with our decision to have the band as our entertainment. I cannot express how many people raved about the band the night of and into the next week - I had people texting me on my honeymoon asking me the name of our band and telling me how much they loved the music! The band had everyone dancing from start to finish and was so professional, fun, and engaging. We had a wide range of ages at our wedding and everyone (of all ages) raved about the band and were dancing all night. The band was also extremely accommodating with how we wanted to handle first dance songs, first speeches, cake cutting songs, etc. The band was so organized leading up to the wedding and our direct contact, Gretchen, was a HUGE help in our preparation. She was so detail oriented and extremely responsive via phone and email. She did whatever she could to make sure everything was how we wanted it so the night would go perfectly - which it did. Again, we could not be happier with our decision and would recommend Midnight Piano Band to everyone needing a band for any type of event - I honestly cannot say enough good things!
Tara B – 6.30.18 Wedding
Please relay to the Midnight Piano Band that I have been getting rave reviews from our members all week. The music they played was so fun, and we had more people dancing than we have ever had. They kept the volume down which enabled people to have conversations in the ballroom even while they were playing the dance music. We appreciated that they did not take a break due to the short nature of the dancing period.
Thank you for the recommendation!
Laura S – 12.2.17 Holiday Party
MPB is a must-book band with incredible crowd appeal. They are high-energy, talented musicians. No cheese. Their music range is broad -- love the classics from Elton John and Billy Joel and some modern tunes. They even learned some difficult songs upon our request and knocked it out of the park -- it felt so customized, as though we had been close friends with Lucas and MPB for years. They bring a fresh take to beloved songs and really organically took to our wedding reception crowd's energy. We would book again in a heartbeat, and hopefully we will throw a proper party again soon that we can.
