Bell of the Ball!! Booking JB and the Showmance Band for our holiday cocktail party was the best decision we ever made. Great communication and accommodation from the get go. JB put together a 3 piece jazz band (piano, upright bass, drums) that brought the party to the next level. They set just the right musical tone for the evening and our guests were surprised and thrilled by the experience. 100% hope to work with them again in the future.

Showmance band was excellent for my mom's 50th. We were going for a swanky semi formal event and the band provided the perfect atmosphere for us. The guests are still texting us about how great the band was! JB was super easy to work with and accommodating. My dad sang a special song for my mom and JB and the band arranged the instrumental for it. Thank you guys so much!
