Description
Oregon and Washington's premier party band for the past 5 years, Fun House now features lead vocalist Carli Halligan. Breaking down barriers and the "us and them" mentality, Fun House delivers an upbeat, interactive performance where guests are truly part of the event rather than bystanders. No strangers to the stage, Fun House is comprised of 5 veteran musicians that have been involved with numerous world tours and shared the stage with top artists, including Eddie Money, Bonnie Raitt, and many others.
Fun House has an extensive repertoire covering 5 decades of popular music and is very experienced in tailoring the show for each specific event/venue/crowd. Whether you want a raging party or a subdued dinner set, Fun House is the band you want. And if you want both, then Fun House is the band you NEED!

Feedback
- Fun House was a huge hit at our Grand Finale concert to end our 7-concert "Concerts For A Cause" Summer Series. They were a crowd favorite and their musical talents and voices were very enjoyable to listen to. They played a wide variety of songs and the instrumentals were professional and VERY skilled. Everyone LOVED having Fun House play on our outdoor stage and we are looking forward to having them back to perform again for us next year. On a "non-musical" note, the members of Fun House were a group of very nice people who were both honest and accomodating. They arrived promptly, were ready to start playing on time and the audience LOVED them! -- Tina O, Camas, WA, 8/24/2011
- Fun House is a really great band. They were fun to work with and fun on stage. I highly recommend them and would love to use them again! -- Tanya M, Vancouver, WA, 10/2/2010
- Fun House was the perfect addition to our Teddy Bear Toss hockey game. They rocked the 7,000+ fans all night long! They were prompt, needed very little direction and worked with our changing schedule with ease. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a band. We will most certainly use Fun House again in the near future! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great party band!

Portland Winter Hawks Hockey Team, Portland, OR -- Kelley R, Portland, OR, 12/6/2008
- We'd highly recommend Fun House. They got people dancing in no time, let the best man play his own tune, and performed requested songs, including a customized "first dance" request: a short Sinatra prelude into a Queen hit...what more could you ask for! Most importantly, they were kind-hearted, genuine and talented folks who made planning and partying an absolute pleasure. -- Jillian & Brent, Holden Creek Lane, 7/18/09 -- Brent L, Springfield, OR, 7/18/2009
- Fun House did a great job entertaining a diverse group of people. Their music made dancers out of decidedly non-dancers.
Blair, and all of the band, were a pleasure to work with. I hope that I get a chance to hire them again.
I will most certainly recommend them to others.
-- John O, Portland, OR, 2/24/2009
- We had a great time with Fun House! They did an amazing job and were a lot of fun. They even learned a rather obscure song for me :-) I would recommend them to anyone planning a rockin' party! -- Staci H, Dallas, OR, 5/16/2009
- Fun House is a premiere group of talented musicians that made our wedding even more special. Our guests asked all night where did we find such a fabulous band. Hands down, Fun House is the TOP band to have at your event. Our guests could have danced all night thanks to the band's happy energy and "get up and dance" song choices. We had a special request for our "first dance" song, and they nailed it with their own soulful rendition. Shannon has a wonderful voice and stage presence! Our thanks and gratitude go to Blair and the rest of the performers for a "party" that we and our guests will always remember. Bravo! Fun House. Bravo!
Tim & Jeanna -- Tim H, Portland, OR, 9/6/2008
- Really really great band, do not hesitate to invite this group to your event - I had a blast! My guests enjoyed dancing to them so much that they stayed to dance even after the band left. It was definitely a party not soon forgotten - thanks! -- Devon R, Hillsboro, OR, 10/25/2008
- I must admit I was a bit nervous getting a band of line. However no nerves were necessary. Blair and his band were incredible. I don't think I left the dance floor once after they started. I have many friends with different music taste and everyone said how much they enjoyed the band. The band even put up with my friends and family thinking they two were part of the band. I hope my friends in the future would also use funhouse for their weddings or party. They really helped me and my husband to have the wedding party we always wanted.
Thanks
The Hacketts -- Tara S, Forest Grove, OR, 8/16/2008
- FunHouse was amazing! I can't tell you how many people came up to us to ask where we found FunHouse, and to say how much they enjoyed their sound and energy. I was so impressed by the vast repertoire of songs to their amazing ability to do each cover justice. The music was great for crowds that like to dance as well as those that do not.
FunHouse was very accomodating in meeting our requests and by far exceeded our expectations. We would hire them again in a heartbeat! -- Molly S, Salem, OR, 7/27/2007
- We had an excellent party!!! We are still getting emails after our party thanking us for a wonderful night as well as telling us this was the best party we have ever done. THANK YOU FUN HOUSE!
Fun House kept our guests dancing and having fun all night. The lead singer is amazingly talented! She knocked our socks off! The band members were all professional, accommodating and super friendly people to work with. We wished that they could have played longer into the night. We highly recommend Fun House and we can't wait to hire them again for next year. -- Shannon R, Washougal, WA, 7/19/2008
