We are a fun party band and love to get your group dancing! We play everything from Elvis to Michael Jackson ... Beatles to Rabbit... Janis to Melissa ... AC/DC to Charlie Daniels ... Pink Floyd to Pink ... Cars to Jimmy Eats World ... Dick Dale to Concrete Blonde ... Ray Charles to Bon Jovi ... Johnny Cash to Toby Keith... Bobby Darin to K.T. Tunstall... In other words, something for everyone, with emphasis on tunes that are NOT played to death on the radio or done by every band out there. We are up-and-coming recording artists and can include cuts from our own album as well. We will gladly send you our current song list and a demo CD at your request.

Note: If you are planning a wedding, etc., please be aware that we are not a "wedding band" ... we are a rock band that does weddings! And web pictures aside, we do clean up nice! :-)

• Good weather prevailed (i.e., it didn't rain!)and the Hollister Thompson Band was here to join in our celebration. Pete, Lisa, Jack, and Joe played excellent music both covers and their own songs. Family and friends were all impressed! Not only did the band play well, they interacted with our guests and became part of the party. We all had a lot of fun! We would recommend the Hollister Thompson Band to anyone who wants to have a good time with a good rock'n'roll band! Thanks guys! -- Jim Chambers, Leominster, MA, 6/22/2009
• We were so impressed by the professionalism this band displayed for the performance for our students. They showed up on time, and were extremely organized. We were so fortunate that they were willing to donate there time and talent for the students with disabilities. Everyone loved them and had a great time. Even though we were looking for a "beach boy" type of band, their venue of country/southern rock was enjoyed by all. Even the president of our company was tapping his toes! We made it a point to thank the band through an article in the local Southington Observer. Thanks to Tom, Pete and all the gang. We'd love to see you back next year! -- Lynnette Kaschke, Southington, CT, 8/23/2010
• Hollister Thompson Band is an incredibly versatile, professional and fun group. Their wide range of vocal talent and skilled instrumentation made my wedding reception absolutely perfect. Since it was Halloween, they even brought out the Monster Mash! Everyone had a wonderfully entertaining evening as we danced the night away. I'd recommend them for nearly any event without reservation. Check out their original material! -- Heather Macnaughtan, Old Saybrook, CT, 11/14/2009
• HTB was amazing to work with. They couldn't have been more accommodating as well as offering up some great suggestions. We heard nothing but positive comments from our guests - who loved the music. Great variety. And if you want some fiddle playin' in the mix...this is your band! I would book them again in a heartbeat! -- Sharon Chamberlain, New Britain, CT, 7/2/2011
• They were awesome! My guests were dancing to their lively & energetic tunes. They accomodated my daughter by having her play some of her own songs. Even the gathering in the adjacent hall open their door to listen in & wanted to hire them. Too bad it was only for four hours. Wish it was longer... Great Job guys!!!! -- Simon Eng, Bridgeport, CT, 4/10/2011
• The success of our event fell on the band and they gave us their best. The music they play is fun and diverse and got everyone on the dance floor at one point or another. Highly recommend them and will probably have them play for us again sometime. Natalie D. Roxbury, CT -- Natalie Demers, Roxbury, CT, 4/26/2011
