We recently attended a company function and the group Fresh Play was the entertainment. The band's energy, stage presence, and professionalism was great. We were 30+ age group and all were impressed.

If you want your occasion to have a magical, vibrant feel then Fresh Play is the band for you. The band is extremely professional, talented and friendly. They came dressed to impress in the theme for our evening reception, mingled with the attendees and really took the time to make everyone feel special. Most importantly they can SANNNNNG! The band brought all the vibes and kept the party going and even gave us one last song after the event was done as the crowd just wanted more! Don't hesitate to book Fresh Play. You will not forget it!

Hi Nicole, thank you so much for those kind words and for having such an amazing team! You all made your vision for the event crystal clear and concise which made it easy for us to just do our music thing haha! Cheers and thank you again!
Our guests were extremely happy with Fresh Play. Perry and Felicia were great. Everyone was enjoying the positive energy and dancing to the music. We would definitely book again for our future events and highly recommend them for any type of party.
My daughter wanted to have an 80's party for her birthday and Fresh Play said they could do this. Wow! Felicia and Perry really made the effort to make this party special! They did all the hits that we were hoping for and more. They were right on time, looked gorgeous, set up and played for us for longer than we requested. Their energy was so perfect to get us in the mood to dance and party! The music was so fun! They are great musicians and we loved the sound. The keyboards and singing and drums were so great! Also, they made such an effort to make my daughter feel special - singing happy birthday and "Cake by the Ocean" when we brought out the cake, which was so fun. They were very professional. When they took a break between sets they also played great music! So we got a DJ on top of the live band! I absolutely recommend this wonderful band for your party or event. You can't go wrong. I would certainly hire them again!

My husband and I hired Fresh Play (including a drummer) for our wedding after party and we’re so glad we did. They are such a fun couple and we’re easy to communicate with through out the process! We had a Havana theme and they even dressed the part! We would definitely recommend them for any event you may have!
Bringing Fresh Play into the mix for our wedding day took the experience to a higher level for us and our guests! It meant so much to us (the bride and groom) that Felicia and Perry were open to performing some of our favorite songs for the ceremony (Heroes by David Bowie, His eye is on the sparrow by Mahalia Jackson, La Vie en Rose by Edith Piaf). They performed the songs in a way that was their own and unique to our special day. They are so charismatic and did an outstanding job of ‘reading’ the crowd to warm up guests during the reception as well. We are Fresh Play fans, tride and true!!

We absolutely loved our experience with Freshplay Duo for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Their vocals and live music provided a soulful and hip vibe. They were extremely accommodating to all of our requests. Thank you, Freshplay, for adding so much beauty to our big day. Our guests are still raving about them. Highly recommend for any event!

We had Fresh Play out for a Gatsby Gala. From first contact down to the end of the actual event, they were amazing. They are very personable and fun. Our guests enjoyed getting to know them and dancing to their songs. They're professionalism and time management was perfect. From a coordinator's point of view, I had a smile from ear to ear the whole night. Thank you so much for a memorable and beautiful evening!
We were proud to have such a talented team of musicians at Shopping Extravaganza, our fundraising event this year.
Fresh Play are classy, tasteful, contemporary musicians that make a wonderful impression. Felicia's voice has a soulful element that adds body to each song. Perry is skilled playing guitar, keyboard, and harmonizing beautifully. With the addition of the drums, Fresh Play makes you get up and dance.
When it comes to live entertainment, Fresh Play delivers. Thank you for your precision and great variety in your song selection. Truly had me singing along.

Fresh Play (Perry & Felicia) were wonderful at our church. It is obvious they are filled with the Spirit and have wonderful gifts which helped lead our congregation to worship! They were a great blessing!
Praise & Worship Leader
We got to see Fresh Play live in Redlands. What an awesome time! They did a number of different music genres and are super talented, playing multiple instruments and singing. By the end of the night, they had the whole place singing along, dancing and calling for more!!! We've already told our friends about them and they can't wait to join us for their next show. You don't want to miss out on seeing Fresh Play! You'll have so much fun!!
Fresh Play always preformed at the top of their game. The soul and energy they bring to the stage is one of a kind. Both lead singers could have a band of their own. The set list is a great mix of original music and covers everyone can get down too. Do yourself a favor and book this show. You will put Fresh Play on a rotation in your club. Thanks for all the good vibes FP!

Fresh Play is an amazing dynamic duo that "brings it" every performance. I've had the pleasure of attending several of their shows. Their name is so perfect because they definitely perform the latest and greatest music rather it be Pop, R&B,Inspirational, Soul or even their very own music. If you're looking for pure passionate entertainment Fresh Play is highly recommended. There's no event too big or too small.
