We had a surprise 40th birthday party for my nephew at Redington Beach, we hired a hibachi company to come cook, which was a big hit. Afterwords, Dave and the band rocked out to all our favorite songs, it started out with a intense concert atmosphere which broke into dancing all night, and he was very fair when we asked him to play overtime. They were complete professionals and quite enjoyable to work with. I myself play in a band called full moon somewhere in Boston. We perform 200 shows for year and as a musician in the business for over 30 years I was so pleased with all aspects,. Sound system and sound technicians. They hired for top notch. Lighting show is perfect for our occasion. They loaded in and set up Ferry efficient Lee, and kept the noise to a minimum while we were having our sit down, hibachi dinner. At the end of the night in the wee hours of the morning, the lead singer Dave cannonballed into the pool causing guests to follow suit. Oh, what a night! More is more is definitely more

Response from More is More:
Thank you, Laurie!
It was great to see you again.
More is More is hands down the best band in the Tampa Bay Area. We ran into them at The Pub in Indian Rocks Beach while out boating at night a couple years ago and heard a band playing that sounded a 100 times better than a biter band we’ve heard there. We docked and spent the evening having a great time. We booked them for my birthday party but that was canceled because of COVID. We later booked them for this past Saturday October 30th Halloween party and they were the hit of the party. They can play any type of music and are equally nice people as they are talented.

Once vying for the "Big Time" Dave Arazmo and his band, "Arazmo" were an hard rock band from Tampa Bay. They were one of Fantasma Productions' (now Live Nation) most popular acts in South Florida. After coming off the road in 1990, the band settled in to focus on writing and recording in the hopes of securing a major record deal. They recorded several songs and released a CD titled "Notice to Appear". In 1992, the Arazmo band went to Los Angeles and showcased for Record labels and also for Bon Jovi manager, Doc McGhee.
As fate would have it, by 1992, the meteoric rise of the Seattle grunge scene, led by the success of Nirvana, had taken over rock music both on the radio and on MTV.
(MTV used to play music videos)
*Dave was featured on MTV in 1991 for winning the Orion Pictures, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey "Air Guitar Contest" (a promotion for the movie starring Keanu Reeves). Dave "performed" an original that he wrote just for the contest. The Beach MTV segment is on YouTube with Dweezil Zappa and Dave Arazmo.
At home in Tampa Bay, Dave is widely recognized for his guitar proficiency. He was nominated for and won award's by local publications such as Music Forum magazine, Jam magazine and Tampa Bay Music Network.
Dave's vision for the More is More band began in 2017. He wanted to build something musical, versatile and very entertaining playing timeless songs loved by millions. A band that can do almost anything while honoring the original artists. From Tom Petty to the Rolling Stones, from Duran Duran to Garth Brooks, the More is More band are surprising audiences every time they perform.
If you seek a simple "flavor of the month" dance band, there are tons of them to choose from.
If you desire something MORE - a live music experience with a talented group of performers playing classics like Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street", Boz Skaggs' "Lowdown", Dire Strait's "Sultans of Swing" and an absolutely stunning, guitar-driven version of Charlie Daniels' "Devil Went Down to Georgia"... well, now you know who to call.
