  • The Carbon Copy Band did a fantastic job playing our event. Our guests ranged in age from their 20s to their 70s, and the band played a great mix that everyone could enjoy. I received several compliments regarding the band from the guests. All of the members were professional and fun, and the band brought a good energy to the event. Bill was very accommodating and spent time before the event going over details with me. Overall, I was very satisfied with The Carbon Copy Band! -- Shannan C, San Diego, CA, 8/13/2011
  • The Carbon Copy Band is absolutely incredible and exceeded all expectations. A dynamic and highly talented group of musicans who give a spectacular performance and keep everyone dancing for hours. In addition, they go above and beyond to ensure everyone is having a fabulous time and add special touches (motorcyle reving) to fit the theme of Harley Davidson Birthday Party. I feel honored that the Carbon Copy Band performed at our event and just can't thank enough. The Carbon Copy Band ROCKS!!!!! -- Claire M, Brawley, CA, 4/7/2012
