Free Rain has been performing in the Northwest since 1991.

Free Rain can be depended upon to perform as scheduled, in a professional manner. We will work with you as much as you like to make sure your event is memorable in every way. Often, our experience can save you a lot of time and money in your event planning. We can provide background music or anything else that you need! We have wireless mics for your use for ceremonies, speeches, announcements, toasts, etc.
With Free Rain you get a 6 PIECE BAND! Not too big, not too small to handle ANY event! And you get a top rated Northwest gigmasters band with GREAT client feedback. Where budget is an issue, we can also play events as a 5 piece band.
Free Rain uses an active Mackie PA system that is crystal clear and showcases the strong vocal abilities of the band. For events that require a light show, we have our own.
We DON'T use sequencing or other "computerized" stuff as many bands do these days. We prefer to interact with our audience at each event and use that interaction to inspire our performance. This makes every event unique. This is the REAL thing!! Spontaneous, emotional, and exciting!

Feedback
- A perfect way to cap our companies 25th Anniversary Party! Free Rain sounded great and was very professional, friendly and interactive with our guests, they could not have been more accommodating to our needs. Song choice was on the spot, playing all the great dance tunes from the 80’s as we requested. Feedback from our guests has been tremendous; I would bring this band back for future events and recommend them highly.

-- Larry M, Seattle, WA, 11/7/2009
- The Band is awesome! They played their hearts out for the event. The quality was beyond what we expected. They accommodated a complex set of arrangements for a surprise wedding party with great communication and professionalism. We went with their set list with only requirement that the guests get up and dance, never in doubt. They will be back to rock out again! -- Jon H, Bellevue, WA, 9/19/2009
- We loved Free Rain! They were good sports with our requests, easy to work with, and - most importantly - sounded fantastic and were great fun to dance to!! All of our feedback from friends at the party was about how fun the band was. We highly recommend Free Rain. -- Shannon B, Seattle, WA, 9/12/2009
- Free Rain was a total blast! They have a great energy, and work together only as band members who have known each other for a long long time can. The dance floor was always crowded, the sets were long and the band went above and beyond what we expected. Dale and the crew were completely accomodating to all our requests and crazy antics - and encouraged them! They even changed the lyrics for our getaway (we came back - it was just too fun to leave)! It would be tough to find a more talented, energetic, rockin group - and we feel lucky to have danced with them! Thanks Dale, PA, LS, Mike (the mikes!), Donn and Tim! You rock! -- Kat C, Snohomish, WA, 8/29/2009
- I couldn't be happier with Free Rain! Their professionalism, talent, and stage presence made our wedding reception the best party ever. They got everyone on the dance floor even myself who doesn’t dance very often. I think I heard "what a great band" 100 times during the night. They also took some of our suggestions on the set list which was very cool, and when the first chords of “Rockin in the Free World” came on, it made my night. I highly recommend Free Rain for any event that needs a talented rock cover band, you won't be disappointed. Thanks again guys!! -- Nik C, Seattle, WA, 8/15/2009
- Free Rain was great. They had our wedding guests dancing all night. They were fabulous with the kids at our wedding and invited them to play with them in the band. They were very professional and accomodating. Thanks for a great event! -- Mollie M, Hillsboro, OR, 8/8/2009
- We had a very diverse group for the conference from all over the country and of all ages and every one had a blast and enjoyed every minute the band played. Thank you so much for making our event a huge success! I would hire them again in a heartbeat. -- Elissa H, Seattle, WA, 7/15/2009
- Everyone at our party loved Free Rain! They played great songs that everyone liked and really got the crowd involved. The band members were all very friendly and talented and I'd invite them to my next party or recommend them to my friends. -- Nancy R, Orting, WA, 7/25/2009
- It's difficult to express in words how Free Rain helped make our wedding the best day of our life. They are incredibly talented. If you are looking for a band that can play the best classic rock tunes and bring down the house, this is your band! We still get kudos from my friends about our wedding having the best band ever. They even played a custom-version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" for my first dance with my husband, and it literally brought me to tears. Dale and the gang are incredibly sweet to work with. My husband and I always try to come up with a reason to have a big party so we can have them back! -- Kari S, Enumclaw, WA, 9/13/2008
- Free Rain was such a great band to have perform at my wedding. They played great music and had the whole crowd dancing to every song. Even when the crowd dwindled towards the end of the evening, the band still kept up the energy level as if the entire room were packed with people. The best part of having Free Rain perform at my wedding was when I heard them perform my favorite song which they learned for our wedding! I would highly recommend Free Rain to perform for your event. -- Binh T, Woodinville, WA, 6/13/2009
- I have hired them before and I would again... We had a blast and they were awesome..... -- Michelle S, Langley, WA, 12/31/2008
- Free Rain was not only a talented and professional band, but the band members were friendly and accomodating to the crowd's requests. Their energy was high and they got the audience moving and grooving. I would highly recommend them to perform at any event, whether it be a corporate party or a private wedding. This was a great experience for our firm, and I hope to have the pleasure of hiring them again next year if their schedule permits. Thank-you! -- Jennifer H, Bellevue, WA, 12/13/2008
- Thank You!!! You guys rocked and thank you for your continued energy even though there was only a fraction of people who got up to boogie. We certainly had lots of fun and as I said on the night, I got lots of positive feedback as to how great you guys were from those people who weren’t even dancing. Would definitely like to work with you guys again, should the opportunity present! Thanks for being so flexible on the night and being great guys all round! -- Hanna M, Seattle, WA, 12/11/2008
- I was glad I hired the band and our group enjoyed the dance. Thank you....Dan -- Dan H, Everett, WA, 11/29/2008
- Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the band and their song selections. They had kids from 5 yrs old to people in their 60's rockin out. We'll definitely have them back next year.
Scott - Lynnwood 9/09/08 -- Scott B, Lynnwood, WA, 9/6/2008
- Free Rain was a real find. Not only is their music great but they were enthusiastic and warm people. They let our little ones come up on stage and play with them this is something that our kids will not soon forget it made their night special. They made our evening complete!
We are planning on another party next year so we have a reason to hire them.
-- Jodi F, Mount Vernon, WA, 8/16/2008
- We hired Free Rain to kick off our first ever baby boomer bash. Music was such an important part of our lives "way back when", and the band brought us back to the good old days with memories of singing (and dancing) to our favorite tunes. Thank you Dale (and the band) for a wonderful evening of memories.
Kathy, Everett Senior Activity Center -- Kathy B, Everett, WA, 7/26/2008
- For our wedding reception we wanted to have a great time with lots of dancing and these guys provided it! We were looking for a band that knew how to have fun, sounded great and could play the greatest rock music without being some sort of cheesy wedding singer band with sparkling jackets. These guys are amazing, and we continually get compliments on how great the band was and how much everyone enjoyed themselves. I'm not joking here, I'm a picky person and these guys blew me away. HIRE THIS BAND. -- Melissa L, Seattle, WA, 7/19/2008
- Free Rain played at the retirement party for the CEO of a 4,000 employee company. Attendees of the party included top executives and board member of the company. People were dancing and having a great time. Free Rain knows how to get the crowd involved. By the end of the night guests were asking for their business cards. I would recommend Free Rain to anyone who likes to have fun! -- Brianne W, Everett, WA, 2/23/2008
- Because of Free Rain our New Year's Eve Party was a huge success. We are hoping they will come again next year.
Thanks -- Tina R, Marysville, WA, 12/31/2007
- They were there on time they were friendly & professional. We really thought they were great. I recieved many compliments from guest on the choice of the band. Song selection was good They stayed past the agreed time. They worked with in our budget. all in all they were Great! I would recomend Free Rain with out a second thought.
Thanks to the band!
John -- John G, Bellevue, WA, 12/8/2007
- Good energy. They took care of all their set up lighting and sound.
They kept us high stepping all night. -- John L, Port Townsend, WA, 10/6/2007
- WONDERFUL!!! The band helped make the night. If you want to get people on the dance floor who normally don't dance hire Free Rain. I would book them again and am looking forward to getting to see them again someday. :) -- Andrea B, Seattle, WA, 9/22/2007
- They were great. People danced until the last song was played. Thank you for being a participant in such a fun and festive evening to remember. -- Kendall L, Tacoma, WA, 9/15/2007
- Words are not enough to express my gratitude to Dale and his fellow band mates for making my wedding day the best day of our lives! They are the best cover band ever, and they really do end the evening by inviting the kids to play with them - fantastic! My entire wedding started with hiring Free Rain and everything was built from there. Our guests had a blast and said it was the best wedding and reception they had ever been too. We even allowed three couples to crash our reception who were outside dancing on the sidewalk! Thank you Free Rain for bringing a touch of magic to our lives and helping us to create a reception that will live in our hears forever. -- Michele M, Cannon Beach, OR, 8/12/2007
- Had a great time! They played fun and appropriate music the whole night. -- Blake G, Snoqualmie, WA, 7/21/2007
- Free Rain is an INCREDIBLE band! All the guests at our wedding were very impressed and danced all night until the doors closed. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants to have a good time! -- Tina L, Coupeville, WA, 7/7/2007
- Free Rain is an extrememly fun band. They are interactive and know how to play to the crowd. We will hire them again.
Thank you

- This band was simply great. The dance floor was packed for the entire event, right up to the witching hour. The band played what the crowd liked, threw their playlist out the window and went with the flow. One of the best shows I have ever booked. -- Debra D, Port Angeles, WA, 5/19/2007
- Free Rain was the highlight of my birthday party! They were very friendly to all at the party and had a lot of interaction with the dancers while playing. Everyone loved them. Their music was terrific and friends were thinking of events they could hire them for. Thank you, thank you!!! -- Ginger W, Seattle, WA, 5/5/2007
- Free Rain was among the best cover bands our club has had at our annual fundraiser. We had many requests to have them back in the future! -- Susan L, Bremerton, WA, 4/28/2007
- Our wedding included 150 family members and friends. We very carefully coordinated the type of music with Free Rain. The results of our planning with them was an overwhelming success. The dance florr was packed the entire evening--both young and old enjoyed the music; especially when they played a Jewish favorite Hava Nagila.
They interacted with the crowd and everyone loved them. My fiance and several of her friends were encouraged to sing and Free Rain played the background music for them. We are planning a very large summer party and will strongly consider using them again. -- Lou B, Seattle, WA, 12/29/2006
- We were not sure what to expect, but were blown away by what we received. They are fantastic!!! All of our guests were very complementary and could not believe how good they were. Free Rain is very accomodating and interactive with everyone present. We will recommend them to all of our friends. -- Ellen F, Olympia, WA, 9/16/2006
- You guys brought the rock! Thanks so much for capping off a PERFECT day! -- Jason A, Chelan, WA, 8/26/2006
- I cannot say enough about the quality of music and the terrific effort put forth by FreeRain for our summer party! I have had so many phone calls from people raving about the fun they had dancing, and how great the band was. The band mingled like old friends,and accomodated our special requests. Highest recommendation! -- Steve R, Bainbridge Island, WA, 8/5/2006
- WOW! This group is fantastic, and surpassed our expectations of quality and professionalism. We are strongly recommending them to friends as well as for business functions forthcoming. Ellensburg Rodeo Board wishes to consider them for this year's Rodeo event, as many of the board members enjoyed their performance at our wedding. We had a huge variance in age and taste of music, and absolutely everyone was delighted with their musical abilities and range of music. They are a class act, very reasonably priced, very accommodating and friendly, and give a top rank performance all-around. The best!!! -- Rebecca L, Ellensburg, WA, 7/15/2006
- These guys rocked. We have a wide age range living here and they satisfied them all. They put up with inclement weather and an unusual venue without fuss. They encouraged the children to join in and play tambourine which just added to the entertainment. Very pro. They showed up early to make sure everything was set up properly. They're a very talented group and seem to do it just to have fun which projects into the audience and the fun is contagious. We'll have them back again if they aren't already booked! -- Steve S, Seattle, WA, 7/4/2006
- This band did a great job at our convention. We had about 100 guests and they co-mingled with the crowd with their wireless mikes and guitars during sets. We got nothing but excellent comments from our guests. It was a great evening, and the caliber of music was spetacular. Without a doubt a super choice!
-- Ron S, Leavenworth, WA, 6/29/2006
- Free Rain was absolutley magnificent!!!!! Everybody, all 80 people at our graduation party loved what they were playing and wanted to know how I found them!!!! Many of the guests took the bands number down for future events. The band played such great music and all so dancable. They had young teenagers as well as middle aged people all dancing!! My teenage son of 19 told me what fun he had dancing!! I would highly reccommend anyone wanting a great band for their party or dance to book Free Rain.......you and your guests will be sooooooooo delighted!!!!! The band members are all so friendly and all dressed the part too!! They are dependable and made it here on time!!!!!! We are looking forward to having them back for some more parties!!!!! Thank you so much Free Rain for making our party such a huge success!!!!!! Our whole family thanks you all!!!!!! -- Cher D, Cle Elum, WA, 6/17/2006
- Free Rain was great. I don't think there was a song played where people were not dancing. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a band to preform at a function. Thanks again Free Rain
-- Sandra S, Preston, WA, 2/4/2006
- Free Rain did a fantastic job at our wedding. We couldn't have been happier!! From allowing Ryan to sit in on 3 songs to allowing our niece to play tambourine on stage throughout the evening, everything went perfect. We recommend them to anyone who wants a great rock and roll party band. Get ready to dance!! -- Ryan O, Seattle, WA, 1/14/2006
