This band, is absolutely the BEST. If you are having a party in the PNW, they are the first band I would call. They have had an amazing following and reputation for years. I hired them for my husband's 50th and our friends still refer to it as the best party they've been to. (our guests ranged from 20s to 50s). We worked together on the playlist and they were so accommodating, helpful, and fun to plan with. They play all the songs you would think and were also soooo open to a few other hits. The dance floor was full the entire night and I think the only time the crowd booed was when the evening was over and the show ended. I think I hugged every band member at the end of the night for an amazing evening that my husband were so grateful for. Thank you Harry and band!!
They were awesome, played a nice selection of classics and new tunes. great interaction with the guests, took some requests, really made our event special!
Hit Explosion is legit! I've heard about them for years but seeing them for the first time completely blew my expectations away. They are shockingly good musicians and performers with an incredible repertoire. They kept the crowd excited and on the dance floor all night. They even got me on the floor and that takes some doing! I may become a wedding crasher just so I can rock out with them more often...
