With 17 Best Band Awards in the SF Bay Area, this is probably the best and most popular band in Northern California. They just won Best Band Award #17 in March of 2011 from Metro Magazine's Best of Silicon Valley Reader's Poll. They can do it all: Rock, Motown, Disco, Swing, Latin, Country, Jazz, all eras. Great singers, high energy & they keep any crowd dancing & singing along all night long! Rebecca Hall, one of the leading event planners in the San Francisco Bay Area recently commented, "They are always our first choice... the best band in the Bay Area, bar none! A sure thing." The Sharino Plus One band adds a female vocalist or choose The Sharino All Stars which is an 8 piece expanded band with two female vocalists and an incredible horn section. The Joe Sharino Band leads all other bands in every category: Most corporate events played, most weddings played, most fundraisers, fairs and festivals, largest Northern California following (4,500+ on their email lists), most press coverage (8 magazine covers) and most awards won. Metro Magazine commented: "Sharino is not just a repeat award hoarder; around here, he's an institution. He got his start moonlighting while a student at San Jose State in 1974, built a reputation for high-energy live shows and never missed that broadcasting degree. After almost four decades in the party-music business, if there's a song he hasn't played for the dance floor, maybe it doesn't belong there."

And here's what Metro wrote in 2010 when we won the award that year: "What sets the Joe Sharino Band apart from other cover bands is charisma, lots of it. They've played weddings, corporate events, fundraisers and festivals of every kind. And audiences have fun, dancing and singing along every second they're onstage. Their song list goes into the hundreds, ranging from the 1940s to the present. It's like having a jukebox come to life."

Here are some comments from event planners in the SF Bay Area:

"The Joe Sharino Band is always our first choice... the best band in the Bay Area, bar none! Four multi-talented musicians that sound like twelve. A sure thing!" Rebecca Hall ~ The Event Planner

"The Joe Sharino Band is always a hit! Joe's talent and experience really show -- depending upon the group, he can pick the mix that will get people on the dance floor and keep them dancing. He really knows how to pace the show and keep things rolling." Beth Cala ~ Any Event

"Your band is one of the most professional bands I have worked with and I would not hesitate to work with you anytime I can. The variety of music that you play suits every age group at any function. The guests were very pleased and your energy levels had even me exhausted at the end of the evening. I don't think the dance floor was ever empty except when you took well deserved breaks. Thanks for helping me keep on schedule and I look forward to working with you again. I will not hesitate to refer you to any of my clients!" Lynne Wright, Monterey, CA

"What a pleasure it was to work with you. Really enjoyed your music, stage presence and your singing was awesome! Here are my comments: The Joe Sharino Band played a wide variety of music that appealed to all age groups. They have a keen sense of song selection and order of music, being able to read the audience and play to the energy of the crowd...the dance floor was full all night long! Joe and his band are very professional, easy going and always smiling. The compliments from family and friends flowed with appreciation all night long. The band ended the party on a high note, leaving the audience wanting more and more. They were great to work with and they played beyond every expectation. I hope to work with you many times over. Perfection!" Elysia Heller, Elysia Heller Events

"I think your band is more than fantastic! Thank you and the members of the band for an outstanding performance on Saturday, July 27th. It was more than obvious that everyone was having an incredible time dancing to your music. The energy and excitement from the entire band definitely moved through the crowd. Thank you for allowing the groom to sing; your flexibility in allowing him to do this was such a crowd pleaser! Not many bands would have allowed for that! I appreciated your patience as the timeline seemed to change throughout the evening as speeches went long. I'll look forward to working with you and your band in the future as it was such a treat to hear you perform! I couldn't stop tapping my feet throughout the evening. As a matter of fact, please call me because I wanted to check your availability for a date next year! I am confident my clients will just love the band! Thank you again! Michelle Martin, Custom Celebrations, Wedding Planning & Event Design

"I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how appreciative I am about all of your best efforts regarding the wedding that we just worked on together. Your help with the itinerary, and the professionalism of all of your members, beginning with your crew on down to your musicians was exemplary. I'm always a stickler about volume, and sound at my events. Yours was outstanding!! Not too "loud", yet the amazing vocals of all of your band members were really dialed in, and always on top. The magnificent instrumentation during the solos was dynamite. What a talent you are, WOW, not to mention also a fantastic MC. Party participation was at an all time high. I would definitely hire the Joe Sharino Band for one of my events again in a heartbeat. As an event coordinator, I'm happy when the flow of the party is seamless, and the guests are having the time of their lives. You helped me meet both of these goals. In a word, the party rocked!!!!" Thanks again, Joannie Liss Joannie Liss Events

"I love working with you and your band! You never cease to amaze me. Your professionalism and cooperation throughout the planning process are appreciated more than you will ever know. The phenomenal celebrations you've created for each of my clients, regardless of age, ethnicity or musical requests have been nothing short of astounding. Your music suits all genres...and everyone finds themselves tapping their feet and heading for the dance floor. When the "Joe Sharino Band" is in the house, it's going to be a party! As a Certified Wedding Consultant and Event Planner, it's crucial on the day of the wedding or event to be able to rely on the "team" for the ultimate success of the event. You and your crew are the consummate professionals, always flexible, punctual, and willing to "go the extra mile". Your repertoire knows no bounds, appealing to all ages and ethnic origins and your energy and enthusiasm permeate through the crowd. I hope we have more frequent opportunities to work together in the near future." With warmest regards, Marcia Coleman-Joyner, C.W.C. A Joyous Occasion

"I had the pleasure to work with the Joe Sharino Band and was thoroughly impressed. Not only were they professional and accommodating, but their music rocked the house! The dance floor was packed all night and the energy they brought was fabulous. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an energetic and great sounding band for their wedding or event. Joe, you and your entire group were a pleasure to work with and I have already placed you on my recommendation list. You're a total class act." Robbin Montero, A Dream Wedding

• The Joe Sharino Band was absolutely fabulous. We would hire them again. We danced until we dropped! They got the crowed dancing and the song choices were great. We loved them! -- Denise S, Tahoe City, CA, 7/12/2008
• We were really happy with the Joe Sharino Band. They were always extremely accomodating and professional during our discussions prior to the wedding and made us feel very comfortable with how everything would work during the reception. At the reception they were terrific as they had all our guest out of the dance floor the whole night. Many of our guests commented on what a fun band they were. We feel very fortunate to of selected their band to perform at our wedding and we would recommend them very highly to anyone looking for a fun and talented band that will help to make everything as easy as possible. -- Dan N, San Francisco, CA, 11/14/2009
