Wonderful, superb, fun, fantastic......just a few words to describe Overdrive. They were so easy to work with. I had a ton of questions and countless emails to them prior to the event, and they were great responding to all of my inquiries. Our guests had a blast with them and they played fun upbeat music that people could sing to at their table (for those too afraid to get up and dance), and of course dance to. They had great energy, showed up when they said and even stayed later than expected. It was a pleasure working with them and I would hire them again without hesitation! By far the best experience I've ever had with a live band for an event.

Overdrive was fantastic! Their music was lively, fun and enjoyed by all at our outdoor community event of over 600 people. As the event organizer what I was most impressed with was the band's professionalism at every step of the way. Daniel, the band's manager was accommodating and quickly responsive to questions. The band was punctual and efficient in setup/cleanup and flexible in managing hiccups (changing plans quickly when our stage wasn't going to work). They let us choose the songs, genre and style and seemed to have fun at the event. Would definitely hire again and recommend. Thank you Overdrive!

Overdrive was nothing short of heroic. We are a semi-pro sports franchise with limited resources, and because of them, were able to provide a full rock concert to hundreds of fans with ease. Their organization was a miracle. Several times in advance, I spoke and e-mailed with their manager. They expanded their setlist upon request the week of the show and met me at the venue to go over every detail. Day of, they completed all setup and sound check ahead of schedule without anyone from my organization lifting a finger. The show had fantastic vocals, guitar solos, and crowd engagement. We could not be happier with this band and would bring them back without hesitation.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 5, 2016•From Kirkland, WA
Small venue, 50th b-day. The band was prompt and reliable working with us. They visited the venue to plan their set up and set up/tore down quickly.
As for the event, our theme was "decades of fun" - with people in attendance dressed from the 1920s to today - with a focus on the 80s. Boy did the band deliver! Song after song had us up dancing and singing along, reliving our youth! They performed three sets and kept the party going.
We didn't make special requests - and their performance for the birthday 'girl' - "They say it's your birthday" "it's my birthday too" - was Perfect!
We are trying to find an excuse for another costumed dance party with them.

This was a wonderful value. My first thought was: How can we hire a decent band for so little? The reality is: For a very modest sum we can pay 10 people to share a gift that they practice and obviously love! They coordinated with the hotel, showed up early and made sure that all was ready well in advance, they were ready to go 15 minutes early and performed like pros. I had zero involvement or worry once the select was made. The mix of songs was great. Everyone loved it. I would hire this band again at my first opportunity. Thank you, Overdrive Kirkland.

I can't say enough good things about Overdrive Kirkland. I speak for my husband and myself and all of our friends, family and neighbors when I say that they TOTALLY ROCKED our Summer Bash and Barbecue. They were professional, engaging and really, really excellent in their instrumentation and vocals. Even in 90 degree heat, they had us up and dancing and enjoying song after song. I think most of us were singing along with them more times than not. Thank you so very much Overdrive, for a most memorable event. As you can tell, we highly recommend them for any venue!
Most Sincerely,
Bob and Mary Spisak

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 11, 2015•From Seattle, WA
They were over the top!!! I don't know where to begin. They were willing to do something a bit beyond normal. They played for my husband's 40th birthday, allowing him (as well as others) to get on stage and do an informal karaoke!! They were out on the floor dancing with us. They brought their own lights, a fantastic energy, and each band member was friendly and approachable. The band definitely took the celebration to the next level. Truly amazing!!

Overdrive is a great classic rock band! They are energetic, fun and kept our members dancing all night long! I have heard from everyone how much they loved the band. They brought in their own sound system, lights, etc. Very professional, very respectful and great to work with. Daniel, the band manager, is fantastic to work with. They have played for us twice now and we are looking forward to having them back again! Believe me, if you are looking for a band to play at your event, this is the band!

Wow, Overdrive rocked the house! This band should be on tour. They put on a great show. All of their songs are great classic hits. They are amazing musicians and singers. Very professional. Everyone kept telling me that this is the band we should hire for every event. All we supply is a place to plug in and they bring everything. Disco, party lights, huge sound system, dedicated sound engineer. Really, really great. We will definitely hire them again.

Cinco De Mayo Party•Reviewed on May 6, 2014•From Redmond, WA
Another great show from Overdrive! They played our Cinco de Mayo party last Saturday night. Every song was a crowd favorite. Our dance floor has never been packed like this. Happy people dancing and singing along. I can't count how many times I heard someone say 'I love this song' followed by 'Wow, the band is so good'. Overdrive totally rocks! They are fun! They are high energy! Everyone had a blast. Everyone wants them back!

Overdrive was the perfect band for our corporate event. Polished, professional, fantastic! The manager came a week early to take a look at everything for setup. The band came in several hours before the event and setup a sound system, lights, everything. Wow, what a show!
Their music is perfect for the age 35 to 60 crowd. Entertaining. Great musical ability. High energy. Everyone has been telling me how much they loved the band. We will definitely hire Overdrive again!

Overdrive has performed for us five times now. We regularly have bands in to do shows and Overdrive is hands down the very best. Not only is this band fantastic musically, but they are Sooo fun! They obviously all like each other. Their upbeat energy is infectious. The entire audience was caught up in the energy and fun. The dance floor was packed all night long. They mingle with the audience. They are friendly, social and accommodating. Whenever they come here, they turn the hall into a nightclub. They create this high energy, fun party experience for everyone. We’re always excited for the next time they can come play for us.
Thank you Overdrive!

Overdrive recently played for us at VFW Post 2995. The members absolutely LOVE Overdrive. The music is awesome!! Not to mention everybody in the band is very professional and friendly. I’ve seen Overdrive put on shows at other venues, not just 2995, and everybody has really enjoined them and come highly recommended.

Overdrive played our St. Patrick's Day party last night. They were fantastic! We have bands play here & Overdrive may be the best band yet!
Great musicians, amazing vocalists & great energy that kept the dance floor packed all night long. Today everyone is is still talking about how great the band was and asking when can we have them back? It was definitely a great time had by all!
They setup the night before w/complete sound system, lights, cable covers, everything! We had some announcements to make & an Irish bagpipe playing songs between sets. Everyone in Overdrive was friendly & accommodating. We are looking forward to having them here again & again & again.

We chose to have Overdrive play at our high school homecoming. The dance was an absolute blast! Even though it was a younger group, the band was able to get everyone dancing. Daniel and the crew put in extra hours to make our homecoming special for everyone. They accommodated our song requests very well, learning 8 new songs, and they were extremely easy to work with. Thanks so much!

Kirkland Overdrive performed at our fundraiser and they were amazing! Excellent communication prior to the event, they set up early enough in the day and arrived in plenty of time. Their music is fun and easy to dance to and appealed to the variety of guests we had. We would definitely request them again for another event. You can't go wrong with this band!

We wanted to dance to the 60's, 70's & 80's. Overdrive really came through. They were professional, organize, & polite. They had good communication. We had a blast. Everyone told us it was a great party, best in a long time.
I would hire Overdrive again. We had so much fun!!
Thanks for helping make our retirement party a huge success.

Overdrive played our summer bash for the second year in a row. Again they were amazing! So much great music. So much fun! They get out into the crowd with their microphones. Everyone is dancing and singing along. This group is very talented. It is also obvious how much they like each other and how much fun they are having. It is always such a pleasure to have them come and play for us. We are already looking forward to next year!
