FUN, FUN, FUN!!! If you want more than just fantastic musicianship, all your favorite songs and exceptional versatility for your event entertainment, Half Pack LIVE!!! is your answer. They're well known for their exceptional Vegas-style Rat-Pack shows, but what most people don't know is all the "other" stuff they do: Journey, Rod Stewart, Train, Maroon 5, Jason Mraz, Van Morrison, Joe Cocker, Beatles, Eagles, Michael Buble, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and more! If you want wedding or event entertainment that covers a broad spectrum of music, Half Pack LIVE!!! is the right decision. Everyone loves to hear the classics from Sinatra and his pals early in the event - but later, if your guests grow restless and want something more "contemporary," The Pack has your back!

The Pack has performed scores of weddings, private parties and corporate events and the focus is to make you shine and YOUR EVENT the best possible. We have already done this a jillion times,(this is a technical term, don't get hung up on it...) so you can rely on our experience and you can breathe a sigh of relief.

• Everyone at our event raved about the band! When I told them I found them through an Online booking agency, and had not heard them perform live - just judged their sound by their videos and audio clips - they were really impressed! We would hire Half Pack Live again for future events! -- Jackie M, Seattle, WA, 2/26/2012
• Our daughter's wedding was held at the Corvallis, Oregon Country Club.She wanted a live swing/jazz style band and boy did they deliver! They were absolutely fantastic!!! Our guests wondered where we found them and commented all evening and since, how fun and great sounding they were. We had the 6 piece band and 2 singers and it was like being live at a Vegas show. They were incredible. We made all our arrangements thru Mark Haynie on behalf of Half-Pack Live via email and phone. He was so friendly, responsive and professional. He answered all my questions and had awesome suggestions for special dances, garter/bouquet toss, ect. Hire them and they won't disappoint! -- Megan I, Corvallis, OR, 10/30/2010
• Wow! These guys were fabulous. My guests just raved about how much they enjoyed this band. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for fun, danceable entertainment and hope to use their services in the future. -- Heather R, Bellingham, WA, 8/6/2010
• What can I say except FANTASTIC-WOW! Half Pack Live was just simply FANTASTIC!Shame on you if you do not book and just love these guys and gals to bits...they were everything I wanted and MORE!I can tell you that HALF-PACK LIVE impressed me!I work with superstars from around the world-and let me tell ya they can hold their own! They were so professional, great musicians and a joy to watch…They truly entertain you and your guest thoroughly... Ole “blues eyes” and the rest of the “rat pack” gang would take their hats off to this group! Do not try and book them for the July 4th 2009 …sorry to say-I loved them so much I HAVE ALREADY have them reserved! :) -Lisa = #1FAN -- Lisa S, Seattle, WA, 7/4/2008
• On a scale of 1 to 5, Half Pack Live was a 10! The music was fantastic! I had very high expectations and they managed to exceed my expectations. They were so talented and entertaining and really made our wedding extra special. All of our guests were telling us how much fun they had dancing at our wedding. I would highly recommend them for any event, large or small. Thanks guys! -- Emily G, Friday Harbor, WA, 10/10/2009
• If there were more than 5, I would rate them higher on every single count. Half Pack Live were PERFECT for my corporate party. We had people from 3 states there and all night long I heard comments that this band was amazing, incredible, perfect, great, fantastic....the superlatives went on all night long. When not one person out of 260 says a negative thing, and actually go out of their way to seek me out and tell me that their feelings on the band, I know I've made the right choice. Mark Haynie was a pleasure to deal with, and the entire band was very accomodating with a couple of glitches in the schedule that I had to throw at them that evening. -- Dena K, Portland, OR, 1/17/2009
• Half-Pack LIVE did all that I'd hoped they would. Their music and style lent itself well to our 50th Anniversary celebration for our key leadership, both current and retired. They are fun, professional and easy on the eyes according to a number in attendance. I hope to use them again. -- Carol H, Seattle, WA, 10/30/2008
• It could not have been more perfect for our event. I had so many compliments from our clients on the music. Half pack live is fabulous. 5 stars from the gals at Breard & Associates. They made the evening great! Thank you, Heather Eyman -- Heather E, Bellevue, WA, 3/28/2008
• Half-Pack LIVE!!! was great! Everyone loved their music, they impeccably performed our "first dance" ("At Last" by Etta James), they were great about keeping the night flowing smoothly, and they were so much fun to dance to! I would hire them again in a moment and I would recommend them to anyone who wants fun, classy entertainment from a band who treats you with kindness and respect. -- Kristine K, Cannon Beach, OR, 8/15/2008
• Excellent A++++++ -- Paul A, Gig Harbor, WA, 2/16/2008

• I'm really pleased with Half-Pack LIVE!!!'s performance on our wedding day. They created an atmosphere of elegance yet enjoyable and cozy. Many of our guests were exceedingly happy. They could sing along and dance. I heard many praises for the band. They said they've never been in an event with the band that is so alive. They are just very talented people. They are flexible and easy to work with. They're willing to provide the songs we requested that weren't in their song list. They could work with our budget. They're just the best jazz band in town! -- Rut S, Seattle, WA, 5/24/2008
• Half-Pack LIVE!!! delivered an outstanding & memorable performance @ my mom's retirement party. The singing was fabulous & the musicians were spot on. From Frank Sinatra to Motown-they nailed every song! Half-Pack LIVE!!! were punctual, professional & personable, talking w/ guests between sets. These guys were a lot of fun! They let my dad sing a number w/ them & they danced w/ my grandma! Everyone from 7 to 83 were dancing or singing along in their seats. For incredible, professional & fabulously fun entertainment book Half-Pack LIVE!!! for your party! These guys look & sound great - you won't be disappointed. We can't wait to book them again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! -- Pam S, Lacey, WA, 11/9/2007
• We hired them for a wedding and had a wonderful time. They arrived on time and very not only very personable but accomidating. They set up outside and when the weather turned bad they broke down and went inside without a fuss. They even let a few of my guest sign with them! I really was happy with the preformance and their attitude and would hire them again. -- Renee C, Portland, OR, 5/3/2008
• Excellent performance by all musicians and performers. Mark and Troy brought great energy to our party. The band backing them up were very good. I recommend Half Pack live without reservation. -- Gretchen G, Tacoma, WA, 12/6/2008
• They were great! They were able to play for the crowd and also provide soft background music for an awards presentation that made the evening flow better. -- Rachel C, Seattle, WA, 1/30/2008
• Half-Pack Live was absolutley amazing! For our Annual Holiday Party I typically book a nice swing band, but his year I wanted something a little more unique and fun for our holiday party. Half-Pack Live delivered exactly that and more! Their music is a great Vegas style swing with crowd interaction, which gave the event a fantastic flare for the entire evening. They were very professional and easy to work with from start to finsh! The band went way over the top for us and helped make our event this year perfect in every way! I would highly recommend Half-Pack Live for any special occasion. Thanks Guys!! Tanya Gearheart Event Assistant Coordinator Suncadia -- Tanya G, Seattle, WA, 12/6/2007
• Half pack live! Turned our simple golf tournament award ceramony, into an absolute bash! They are the definition of entertainment, class, and talent. Golf tournaments have many awards to hand out and have many interruptions, in which they handled with total flexibility and grace. Many asked me...Where did you find these guys? Thanks Half Pack Live, you guys rock! Dave @ Thunderdog Media. -- Dave T, Redmond, WA, 5/31/2008
