Description
CRYSTAL IMAGE OR THE HIPPIE PARTY DANCE AND SHOW!
Exciting, entertaining, professional, versatile!
Crystal Image can be booked as small as a trio or as large as 6 pieces. The price varies with distance, hours, recurring gigs, light show and size of band. All forms of Crystal Image are perfect for dances, dinner shows or concerts.
Important! To avoid confusion..some venues have smaller stages, budgets or require soft dinner music. We have smaller packages to accomodate those needs. Our 5 piece band and the hippie party show includes live drums.
**Parties, fairs, festivals, resorts, country clubs, wineries, casinos**
Crystal Image performs at venues needing classic rock, country, blues or oldies. They play a large variety of music styles.. over 300 songs on their actual set list. Listen to "Honky Tonk Woman" (The Rolling Stones), "Crazy" (Patsy Cline), "Margaritaville" (Jimmy Buffett), "Shake rattle & roll" (Bill Haley & the Comets/Big Joe Turner), "Born on the Bayou" - live drums- hippie party video (Creedence Clearwater), "San Francisco" -live drums- hippie party video, "Nowhere man" (The Beatles), "Peaceful easy feeling" (Eagles), "Are you ready for the country" (Neil Young) and "Good lovin'" (grateful dead/rascals).
Would you like more female vocals, sax, steel guitar? What's your budget? We'll work with you! Do you need soft acoustic music? No problem! Check out the audio sample of "fire and rain". Don't have a big budget but you need a BIG sound? The Crystal Image trio can sound like a four piece band! CD music or MC services provided during intermissions.

Feedback
- this group is excellent! from rock to country they did it all. we thank you for a great show. village west yacht club -- Byron B, Stockton, CA, 8/30/2008
- The band was great, played a good mix of music and made our event even more special. -- Renee P, El Dorado Hills, CA, 6/17/2006
- Crystal Image was very professional. They did what they said they would, they were on time and were very friendly to my guests. I would use them again at that same party. They are a great band for accommodating a variety of ages if you don't want hard hitting loud music. Our party was a neighborhood bbq and everyone said they enjoyed the band. They are also very affordable so I would definitely recommend them for many types of events.
Thank you,
Janell -- Janell R, Loomis, CA, 9/6/2008
