Description

The Ultimate Party Band is a 6-piece keyboard and horn band recreating the dance party classics from the 70's through the 90's and beyond. Our energetic mix of favorite pop, disco, rock and R&B is guaranteed to get people out of their seats.

Our music is an exciting blend of 2 keyboardists/vocalists, a female vocalist, electric guitar, bass and percussion. Our accomplished professional musicians have been performing together since 1993 and are seasoned performers who switch instruments often to add variety with trumpets, saxophone, trombone and flute. Vocals are UPB's greatest attraction, featuring both male & female vocals, with dynamic 3, 4 & 5 part harmonies often taking center stage.

Would you like us to play a special song or two for your event? Of course! Some songs you really don't want? Of course! Just let us know. Our extensive experience, musicianship and thoroughly professional attitude means once you choose UPB, your entertainment worries are over.

Available For:

Anniversaries, Awards Nights, Bachelor Parties, Bachelorette Parties, Banquets, Birthday Parties, Children's Birthday Parties, Celebrations, Christmas Parties, Clubs, Community Events, Conventions, Corporate Functions, Country Clubs, Dinner Dances, Festivals, Fund Raisers, Graduation Parties, Grand Openings, Halloween Parties, New Year's Eve Parties, Picnic, Private Parties, Restaurants, Reunions, School Assemblies, Weddings, Wedding Ceremonies, Wedding Cocktail Hours, Wedding Receptions...and more.

Feedback

  • The band was great they learned the song that we asked them to and they played great for the whole wedding. Everyone at the wedding came up to us and told us how much they loved the band also. I really do recommend these guys for anything. -- Nick L, Mount Prospect, IL, 7/14/2007
  • They are fantastic! Everyone danced all night long. -- Brooke H, Lake Villa, IL, 6/2/2007
  • the UPB met every expectation we had and then went above those by helping us have the most fun wedding imaginable. The band really kept the guests dancing and kept the party full of musical energy. I cannot put my feelings into words the Band was GREAT. THANKS UPB -- Tony P, Portage, IN, 4/21/2007
