Our goal is to create "ENERGY" through our performance that will motivate and captivate audiences of all ages. We guarantee a party at every show and promise to have everyone at your event dancing, singing, smiling, laughing and having an all out unforgettable experience.
EMCEE SERVICES:
Tony Poling, of 56DAZE, will be happy to EMCEE your entire event. He will work with you to ensure the correct name pronunciations of all attendees needing an introduction, from wedding parties, board members, and special guests. There will be a wireless microphone available at all times for toasts, prayers, and any special announcements.
PRODUCTION:

56DAZE will provide pre-recorded music of your choice during the cocktail hour, dinner, and while on break.
DECORUM:
We can assure you that if we perform at your event we will present ourselves professionally and reflect your requirements.

Here is what some of our previous clients have said:
"I cannot sing your praises high enough, you made the night so much fun! I think a true testament was at the end when everyone was demanding more...it was a perfect ending. The band can either make a party or break it - you made it! Thank you so much for all you did. You were so easy to work with and made it worry free for us. Everyone is having a blast looking at the pictures online already. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!"

"Just got home from the wedding and couldn't even wait to tell you guys how thrilled we were with your performance. We had such an awesome time thanks to your upbeat, energetic musical and emceeing talents. Thank you so much to Tony for helping to keep us on time and not letting us stress out when we realized we were late. The entire band was so professional yet fun. The dance floor was so packed that I swear there was not a single butt in a chair the entire evening. Our friends and family, young and old, thoroughly enjoyed everything that you guys played. The variety was fantastic and your talent is beyond compare. I cannot say enough good things about this band. Do not miss an opportunity to hire them for any event. 56Daze totally fit in at our black tie wedding. They are professional, class act gentlemen, who can go from serious emceeing moments during toasts to rocking the entire building with their rendition of "Don't Stop Believing." Take my advice and ask them to play "Hey Ya". Even my 87-year-old grandma was up boogying during "Hey Ya." We had such an amazing time with the entire band and truly didn't want the evening to end."
"Molly & Michael Phillips (Bride & Groom) - Wedding in Youngstown, OH~

"I booked 56 DAZE for the Northwest Ohio Rib-Off as well as the Our Lady of Perpetual Help church festival the past two years (Toledo, OH.) These guys exceeded expectations at every turn. They sounded great and kept the crowd there and spending money well into the night with an impressive variety of music- there is truly something for everyone. Their stage show is first class, the sound system perfectly set, and their professionalism is second to none. If you have the opportunity to hire these guys- DO NOT HESITATE! It is an investment well made into the success of your event."

"Had a great time at the Firemen's Ball and looking forward to having you guys back next year. This was by far the best dance that they have had due to your entertainment. Throughout the night guests kept telling my husband (Northville Firefighter) what a great band you guys were. See ya next year!!! P.S. Thanks for posting all those pics.

"Hilary and I want to express our sincere appreciation and thanks for your incredible performance at our reception. As any couple planning a wedding, we were faced with the decision of hiring a band or a dj. We wanted to have a variety of songs, but we also wanted our wedding to be a special experience for everyone. You guys made it that special experience. Our reception was absolutely perfect -- you guys played songs that kept everyone dancing, from parents/grandparents and little kids, to our friends. I don't know how you do it, but everyone, regardless of age, just loved the music! "
~Ross Bower & Hilary Lyman-Bower (Bride & Groom) - Wedding in Traverse City, MI~

"Tony, you and the guys did an incredible job with our annual Corporate Holiday Party. You were able to read the crowd and react
accordingly. Your interaction with our employees kept the party going all night long, and the dance floor was never empty. I am so glad to see that 56DAZE has the ability to be diverse by being a great bar band, but kicking up the level of professionalism when needed to be a crowd pleaser for the corporate set too. Thanks again!"
~Mark Simon, (Surface Combustion, Inc) - Corporate Holiday Party~

Feedback
- 56 Daze deserves their reputation as "best of" for wedding bands! They had teenagers to twenty-somethings to baby boomers to their parents dancing -- all at the same time! They spooled off one dance hit after another, and had our reception on a ride that never stopped. Days later people are still raving about how much fun they had -- 56 Daze made the party! -- Laura L, Hillsdale, MI, 8/20/2011
- 56Daze is a class act all of the way and put on a fantastic show. Every guest at our wedding commented it was the best recetption they had ever been too. They are professional from day 1 ... helping lay out the program, learning songs, and making sure the bride/groom don't have to worry about the details. The music is awesome ... they kept the dance floor packed the entire night. I highly reccommend. -- John V, Oakland, MI, 5/30/2010
- 56DAZE was awesome! They made our wedding reception rock! They learned a few songs for us, and every song they played was great! Everyone I talked to loved them and had a great time! I've recommended them to our friends that are getting married in Cincinnati. -- Nick M, Sherrodsville, OH, 10/17/2009
- Chris and I can’t thank Tony and the band enough for the outstanding job! They far exceeded our expectations for the event and had a mob out on the dance floor the entire night (the photos don’t lie!). The great variety of music satisfied the young and the old and again, kept everyone dancing. The arrangement of the songs was well put together and the tempo of the night was perfect. We would hire them again in a heartbeat. And the photos of the event are a real treat since our guest were busy parting and we won’t receive the professional photos for a while. Friends and guest, present and not present, were ecstatic to visit the website and see the photos. -- Bridgette B, Solon, OH, 8/16/2008
- 56 Daze is an amazing band and they put on a great show! They came all the way to Dayton from Toledo in a blizzard for my wedding and they made my reception spectacular! I will definitely recommend 56 Daze to anyone planning an event, they are very talented and professional performers! -- Julie K, Dayton, OH, 3/8/2008
- If you want a great band to get the crowd dancing choose 56 Daze! We were a little nervous booking them because we had never seen them peform live. We just read all of the great reviews and got in touch w/ a couple of past clients. Everything was true--they were great to work with, our guests loved them, and everyone danced the whole night! They really made our wedding memorable!! -- Jennifer D, Ann Arbor, MI, 8/18/2007
- Overall, 56 Daze is awesome! The dance floor was packed the entire night at my wedding reception! They can sing any song and they are so accomodating. Tony MC'd my entire wedding reception which was great! We spoke on the phone a week before the wedding to make sure we had everything planned out. My family & friends are still talking about how great the band was! This is a great band to hire for any type of occasion! They are worth every cent! -- Melanie F, Riverview, MI, 9/30/2006
- Our Rotary club thoroughly enjoyed the music and entertainment that 56 Daze provided on Saturday evening. They were both talented and professional and I would strongly recommend them to anyone that is searching for a versatile band.
Marie Campbell -- Marie C, Bryan, OH, 2/11/2006
- The band has an amazing play list...with a great range of music! They sounded fantastic and we plan to definitely bring them back again!! -- Char J, Findlay, OH, 7/15/2005
- If we ever are in need of a band again, we will most definately contact 56 Daze. Everyone at the party commented on how wonderful they were. I am very please with their services and the services of gigmaster.com in helping me obtain them. -- Susan S, Ypsilanti, MI, 3/12/2005
- 56 DAZE was awesome! Our employees didn't want the night to end. This year's party was the higheset attended party in several years. We owe it all to 56 DAZE!!!!! You guys rock!!! -- Nicole O, Tiffin, OH, 1/12/2008
