Party Planet

Sometimes the phrase "world-class" just isn't enough. In the case of Party Planet, "galaxy-class" might be more appropriate!

The most exciting band on the Memphis party scene, Party Planet includes award-winners and earth-shakers that will make your event the sensation of the season! With a who's who that reads like an invitation list to the Grammy's, this band has generated more excitement in the Mid-South than any band this millennium.

Lead singer Al Paris has unmatched charisma, and he was lead singer for Kool & the Gang. Again: LEAD SINGER FOR KOOL & THE GANG. What more do you need to know?!

Amber Wilson, a beautiful young woman with a powerhouse voice, was lead vocalist for Sound Fuzion for five years. She has performed at numerous events and venues throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Niko Lyras is the most famous Memphis musician you've never heard of –- guitarist, producer, engineer, writer, publisher, and studio owner. Thirty years in the business -- numerous gold and platinum records -– recording credits that include B.B. King, Al Green, Dr. John, Saliva, P. Diddy, and even Terrence Howard from "Hustle & Flow" (for which he received a New York Critic's Award). Niko's hands are as impressive as his ears, and his fantastic energy and playing on stage drives the Party Planet show.

Dave Smith is the go-to studio and live bassist in Memphis. Just ask Johnny Lang, Buddy Guy, John Mayall, Cat Power, Norah Jones, Kirk Whalum, or Derek Trucks. Dave is a five-time winner of the NARAS Premier Bass Player Award and has been inducted into the NARAS Hall of Fame.

Sax master Lannie McMillan will leave you breathless. You might have heard him with Dionne Warwick, The Staple Singers, The Moody Blues, Foghat, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, just to name a few. Now he can blow you away with Party Planet.

Grammy-nominee Jason Clark holds performance and/or production credits with artists such as Patti Austin, Yolanda Adams, Kirk Whalum, Jennifer Holiday, Kirk Franklin, Glenn Jones, Howard Hewett, and countless others.

Put these amazing talents together and you have a band that will rock the planet. Just listen to their extraordinary demo, and you'll have no doubt -- Party Planet will send your event into orbit!

Party Planet is proud to be represented by Resource Entertainment Group in Memphis, the Mid-South's premier entertainment agency and event producer.
