Lucky Penny has a great sound and is very professionally run. Mine was just a large house party but i wanted the band to be memorable, which it was. An electronics person arrives two hours prior to the event to set up. Also 2-3 lead singers in the six pueces that i hired for a varied, great sound. Lastly, a very extensive plsylist so no problem for the band to play longer. Highly highly recommend Lucky Penny!

We hired Lucky Penny for a 50th birthday celebration. The band was early and took care of playing some back ground music while guests were arriving. They started on time and rocked the night! We knew almost every song and they avoided songs she didnt want to hear and even played her favorite song extra long for her!
Very flexible and easy to work with and worked to get the crowd involved. From vocals to instruments, it all sounded right on target!

Our charity organization hired Lucky Penny for our April 2022 fundraiser. In short, it was the best decision we could have made. The fundraiser was a huge success, and we owe much of this success to their performance and showmanship. From start to finish, Lucky Penny provided the high energy party atmosphere we asked for. Although the event was held in a 55+ community, the dance floor was filled the entire night and we continue to get rave reviews due to their amazing song selection and audience involvement. If you are looking for an amazing live party band for your next event, look no further, just hire Lucky Penny!

Party Band
We hired Luck Penny for our daughter's wedding on March 1st 2014. We could not have picked a better band for our outdoor reception! They were amazing musicians and really kept the party going! Everyone had a great time - from age 5 to 95! Even people we never expected to dance got up and joined in thanks to the fun, danceable song selections! The band and sound crew were impeccable from set up to the closing song... Professional and talented! Thanks for the great memories!

Lucky Penny did an excellent job entertaining my guests at my Halloween party. The theme of the party was the 1980's, and Lucky Penny was able to provide plenty of music from that era. All of my guests commented about the performance of the band, and enjoyed dancing to the sounds of the 80's. The band was certainly professional, and very much wanted my party to be a success. I would recommend them for any occasion because they can bring a party to life.

We hired Lucky Penny for a casual corporate function. They were perfect; very professional and accomodating. They sounded great and the play list encompassed exactly what I was looking for at our event. I hope to book them again in the future.

couldn't have had a better experience with hiring a band for my Halloween party. Lucky Penny was excellent! Not only was their performance great, but they were also a very nice batch of guys. They were very responsive to my needs, dependable and actually went out of their way to add a song request to their playlist. What more could you ask for? My guests were very happy with the band and the music played. I received many compliments about their performance. I would certainly recommend them to anyone wanting a live band to perform at their event.
– Cameron K

The wedding was a blur and I don't remember much of the fine details but the one thing I do remember is everyone dancing their butts off. Lucky Penny did a fine job and we were very pleased.

My experience with Lucky Penny was great. I hired them to play for my husbands 30th birthday party. They arrived on time and their set up far exceeded what I had expected. The performances were great and they were very accommodating to everyone from the kids to the older folks. If I ever had a need for a band again I will definitely call on Lucky Penny.

We are located in Seattle, WA and hosted an event in Clearwater for Spring Training. I became aware of Lucky Penny only through Gig Masters and then researched their web site. I was completely blown away by their talent, willingness to work with our requests, and professionalism. They were FABULOUS! Our Founders are now wanting to fly Lucky Penny to Seattle for ALL of our events!!

Working with Lucky Penny was a great experience. They played great music and kept up with the tempo of the evening. They were very accommodating with last minute schedule changes and even got involved with trying to raise some impromptu money towards the event. I would highly recommend Lucky Penny! -Annette N, Tampa, FL
