Description
From Denver, Colorado comes PLAY IT FORWARD, a 6-piece rock, party, and dance band the makes listening to "LIVE" music fun again!
So, if you are looking for a high energy, entertaining band, that plays a variety of great dance music, you need to look no further. With over a century of combined musical experience, PLAY IT FORWARD knows how to rock the house, show the audience a great time, and most importantly, how to play cover tunes the way they are supposed to be played. Each member brings a unique style and energy to the band and together they create a magical performance that guarantees to leave the audience entertained and feeling great! Complimenting the usual set of instruments (Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keys, and Drums) is some added brass (trumpet and saxophone) which are played on several of our songs. We believe this adds another dimension to the band, an element that has proven to be a crowd pleaser every time!
Our philosophy is simple, learn and perform a variety of high energy songs that will get folks out on the dance floor and perform them at a high level. That's what we do! We own some of the best sound equipment and musical instruments on the market. This, along with our combined experience, is why PLAY IT FORWARD is able to capture and re-produce authentic sounds of the most memorable music from artists of today and yesterday. We also know several light Jazz standards which could provide the perfect ambience during dinner at your private event.
We understand that finding the right band for your special event, at a reasonable price, can be a daunting task, and at times, stressful. We can help to take the worry and stress off your shoulders. We are a group of professional musicians that take this business seriously, really enjoy performing, and are very easy to work with. Upon request, we will create a custom set list from our current song list. We are also very conscientious of our stage volume and always show courtesy to the audience.
Whether you are a nightclub owner, looking for a great band to entertain your guests, a corporation, looking for a band to perform at your next important event, or an individual, planning a private party, wedding, or other special function, PLAY IT FORWARD is the band that guarantees to satisfy your entertainment needs.

Feedback
- My wife and I found searching for a band to play our wedding an extremely difficult and daunting task because we felt the entertainment can really make or break the reception. We looked at numerous bands which included going to their respective shows many times over. We saw Play It Forward on three occasions at various public venues and were impressed by their range. I was still nervous because the venues we saw them significantly contrasted with our wedding reception. The reception was amazing with people on the dance floor the entire night. Play It Forward had the same great energy from start to finish. Referring them is a no brainer! -- Michael T, Tabernash, CO, 9/27/2008
- Play It Forward was very professional. They arrived on time and completed setup/soundcheck in a timely fashion. There sound was HOT! I would definately reccommend this band for any event. Our guests had a great time and didn't stop dancing throughout the night!
Kudos to Play It Forward! -- Kiley G, Durango, CO, 8/9/2008
- Play It Forward was what made the reception! Our families could not believe how modestly priced they were. With six guys in the band, playing jazz music during dinner and rock music for the dance, anyone who hires another band without listening to this band first is doing a great disservice to themselves. Great variety of music and they even learned a special song for our first dance.
Craig was so easy to work with. With immediate response and follow-up to my questions over e-mail, I never had any doubts or worries about working with Play It Forward. Craig even made a special trip over to Hudson Gardens beforehand to check out the site and set up.
Thanks guys -- Natalie B, Lakewood, CO, 8/8/2008
