Why hire us instead of others you may see? Consistency. We bring the same seven musicians every night. Professionalism. It's not our show; it's your party. Authenticity. We play LIVE; no pre-recorded tracks...no digital augmentation. Flexibility. Because we play live, we can tailor our show to your needs. We never forget; IT'S YOUR PARTY, NOT OURS!

• The Coppertones were absolutly the best band I have ever heard. They were funny, engaging, and extremely talented. They were easy to work with and helpful on things other than just the music. I was so impressed by the band that I told my friends I never had to even consider another band for any future event I might plan. We had a perfect night and owe a great deal this to the Coppertones. Please keep me on your email list. I may consider being a "party crasher" at their next party. I will pass their name on the The Cotillion Club in Anderson.

• We are so very pleased with the performace of The Coppertones! They played for our wedding reception and we couldn't have asked for a better group! They are a greatly talented and crowd pleasing band. I highly recommend this band. We will definitely use them again when the need arises! Thank you Coppertones for helping make my wedding reception everything I hoped for! Amy and Mikle Nevels -- Amy C, Florence, SC, 4/25/2009
• The band added so much to our company Christmas party this year! They really know how to get everyone excited, off their seats and out on the dance floor! Their interaction with our entire group of people was amazing. They even got our District Manager on the stage playing the cow bell! I'd recommend them to everybody and I hope we're lucky enough to get them to play at our Christmas party next year! -- Mallory B, Savannah, GA, 12/6/2008
