Why do you need to JumpStart Your Party? Well, if all you want to do is dance, then you can hire a DJ. If all you want to do is get up on stage, you can rent a karaoke machine or play "Guitar Hero". If all you want to do is see a great stage performance, it might be best to simply play a Live-In-Concert DVD, But if you want to do ALL of those things, then you need to JumpStart Your Party.
JumpStart is Northern California & Northern Nevada's premiere rock/party/dance band with years of combined performing and playing experience specializing in a unique "audience-participation" show where guests are invited and encouraged to join the band on stage. Whether your event is an informal/casual party or the most formal of affairs, JumpStart comes prepared with the appropriate music,
format and attire for any occasion. JumpStart provides
a fun, high-energy performance guaranteed to liven up your
evening. This six-piece band plays the essential music to get you
up on your feet and dancing all night long!

TESTIMONIALS:
These guys totally rock! Other vendors in the Tahoe area generally are flaky, incompetent, and overpriced. But not JumpStart - these guys are pros and it shows. The music was fun, high-energy, and kept our wedding crowd on the dance floor all night. If we could give 6 stars, we would. Hire them for your wedding and you won't be disappointed!
--Jenna & Brian's Wedding
Incline Village, NV.
JumpStart added so much to our wedding ceremony and reception. They are an amazing collaboration of extremely talented, great spirited, non-attitude band members. They knew exactly what to play to fit the festive mood of our event! Literally, every song they played had people running to pack the dance floor. My sister and girlfriend discovered them playing at Camp Richardson during the Summer and called me right away and told me they "found the perfect band for my wedding". I immediately visited their website and listened to their awesome music. I booked them as quickly as I could. I am 100% satisfied with their performance. They are worth every penny and then some. They even played for the ceremony which was an added bonus. Everyone was so touched by their rich and soulful voices. Stan did an excellent job at MC- ing the event as well. He is a charismatic speaker and knows how to organize and time things well. This was a great asset to the evening. Added bonuses included a lot of audience participation such as having the bridesmaids jump on stage and play tambourines and sing, a solo song they let me sing with them, and letting my dad play harmonica and sing a blues tune! What fun. I highly recommend this band if you want a truly magical experience that great music can deliver. I recently attended two other receptions. One had a DJ. It was good but did not have the excitement or personal touch that LIVE entertainment delivers, especially GREAT live entertainment like JumpStart!! The other reception didn't have music at all. It was very mellow. All there was to do was talk for hours and eat. The right music and dancing adds so much more! If you get a chance, visit their website and check them out! Or better yet, see when/where they are playing and experience them yourself. They are truly awesome!! I will book them with out a doubt again any chance I get!
--Jennifer Plevel (The Bride) -Hawaii
Excellent....Had a wonderful time watching and dancing. You really engaged the guests. We had fun with the blow up instruments.
--Dee Dee, Sonoma, CA
JumpStart absolutely ROCKED at our wedding reception (Very professional). The good energy they created was infectious. They had the dance floor packed all night. We would refer this band to anyone looking for an awesome time.
--Shawn & Trish Huestis, So. Lake Tahoe, CA
Hats off to your performance Friday night. This was the first times in years that we can remember having to tell people the event was over and that the dancing had to come to a stop. We think the partiers would have stayed all night if allowed.
--South Tahoe Association of Realtors, South Lake Tahoe, CA
We really enjoyed your band and hope to see you perform again soon. You guys rock!

"We hosted a wedding at Edgewood Club, South lake Tahoe NV.
We had guests from the California Coast, Mid West and the East Coast.
To a person all our guests said this band was THE BEST they had ever experienced at a wedding venue. The bride and I felt that JUMPSTART could not have been easier to work with. Stan Freeman, Amy and Tiffany were 100% accommodating, friendly, helpful and professional. Our music started a little later than we expected because of the Edgewood Club, but once the band started THEY NEVER STOPPED for 2-3 hours. From the very first song the dance floor stayed packed. Everyone had a blast including the band members. We could not have been happier"

"Wow...Jumpstart really delivered!! They were exactly what our convention needed. I can't tell you how many members complimented me on their perfomance. They kept the audience involved and dancing the whole night. Jumpstart also did a great job connecting with our 1960's theme. Every band member was dressed in costume which added to the overall effect. I was also very impressed with the talent all the members brought to the stage. Many of the cover songs they did rivaled the originals. I would definately recommend Jumpstart for any event."

"We hired JumpStart for our wedding. I can't count how many people came up to me, including other wedding staff, and asked me where I found this awesome band. Many people also told me that it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and I honestly attribute most of that to JumpStart and their high level of energy and ability to pick the right song at the right time. The dance floor honestly stayed packed from start to finish. We will definately hire them again for our next party or event! Thanks again Stan and the rest of the group. You guys ROCK! "

Their new female vocalist has an amazing voice. I was so lucky to be able to hire them! With their blow up plastic guitars for the audience, incorporating my guests, and keeping the party going...we had so much fun. Thank you thank you thank you! We didn't have to worry about a thing, such professionals!

"5 O'Clock Charlie was simply amazing! This was the first time I have ever booked a band and was a little nervous about doing so over the internet. My fears were quckly reduced by this bands professionalism and then when their wonderful music started. They kept our quests on their feet dancing the entire night and helped to make our fundraiser a huge success. I received so many positive comments from other committee members that I do not hesitate to recommend them for any event. We will definately use them again next year. Loved the music!
