Party On!

Fresh off of a GREAT performance at Stonewood Tavern in Peabody, we are taking a little time off to enjoy the summer and then hitting the ground running with some AWESOME shows in August and September.

We can't wait for our debut at the coolest waterfront venue in Haverhill - the Crescent Yacht Club! on August 24th.  The best place for a party in the summer time!  

September is going to be so much fun!  We have parties planned all over the North Shore, Seacoast, and Merrimack Valley!  With gigs at Palmers in Andover to kick off the fun on Friday, September 7th, then at Skybox in Tewksbury on Friday, September 14th, on the waterfront at The DECK in Salisbury on Saturday, September 22nd and then our debut show at Teresa's in Middleton!  Sure to be something for everyone!  

See you on the dance floor!  Party On!

2018 is shaping up to be an INCREDIBLE year to party with us!  We've got some awesome shows lined up right out of the gate to keep you dancing and warm all winter long!  

Thanks to all of our fans for making it happen.

We are so excited to be invited to perform at some of the best nightclubs on the North Shore!  In 2018, we'll be partying at the following venues and MANY MORE TO COME!

See our FULL SCHEDULE for more information.

Please welcome Joanie to the Party!

We are so excited to invite Joanie to Party On!  A consummate professional with years of experience performing on the "scene".   Joanie will be taking on the lead vocal, keyboards, and percussion role and is GREAT at involving the audience in our performances.  Her ever present smile will draw you into the party and keep you smiling all night long.  

Joanie has been singing since the age of 8, started taking it seriously at 15, doing high school musicals and such.... then joined her first rock band at 18 and that was it... 

Influenced by Fleetwood Mac, The Pretenders, The Who and all the great rock and roll from the 70's & 80s. 

She's been playing professionally for 35 years doing anything from sub work for other bands to her own project, Cool Change, which she put together in 2004 

And is still going strong.... 

Along with Two For The Road (another duo), she's played with several bands on the North Shore singing lead, most recently, along side her HOOda Thunk band mates and last year was asked to sing back up for Barry Goudreau's Engine Room (very cool) with dates booking into next year....these projects are close to her heart.... and all these people are in her music family (you all know who you are).  Now it's time for the family tree to grow.... with Party On!

Welcome to the family Joanie!!  Joanie will be leading the band at our upcoming performance on Friday night November 3rd at The Grog.

We are THRILLED to be performing on Sunday October 8th from 1-4PM in Market Square Newburyport as part of the Newburyport Fall Harvest Festival.

We have THOUSANDS of people interested in coming already and we can't wait to see you all dancing in the streets.

This is a family friendly outdoor show in the most beautiful city on the North Shore of Boston.  

So come to downtown Newburyport on Sunday of Columbus Day weekend for the annual Fall Harvest Festival! Enjoy great food, live music, and family fun while celebrating autumn's arrival. Explore downtown shops as well as craft vendor booths from artisans all over New England! The music of Party On! will keep your toes tapping from 1-4PM!

Playing drums since he was a kid, Neil has been playing gigs for the better part of 30 years. Rock, country, jazz, blues... whether it's a country show at Indian ranch, a top 40 cover gig in Boston, a blues benefit, or a small town parade, Neil has been laying down the groove tastefully each and every time. His drum "heroes "include Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Tony Williams, Benny Greb, and the incomparable Dean Johnston of club d'elf. 

Now Neil is the driving force behind Party On! His solid command of the drums are evident on every song they play. From blues to high energy rock & roll, Neil covers all the bases with the ease and execution only seen from a true pro! Most talk the talk – Neil rocks the rock!

It was a full house for our debut performance at the Newburyport Elks!  Our fans made the night by dancing the night away.  Our set list was a tour-de-force of hits from the 70s to Contemporary hits.  There's no question that a good time was had by all.  Highlights included a moving version of Wonderful Tonight, a packed-dance floor for Journey's Any Way You Want It...and some crazy dancing to contemporary hits Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars and Paris (Oh La La) by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. 

Some GREAT photos and video were taken by Kevin and Bonnie - keep an eye on our photos page for more!

See you all soon!  Stay tuned for news of our latest bookings.

Party On!

Mother Nature may have landed a punch in the face earlier this month, but Party On! has regrouped and rescheduled our Debut Performance for January 21st.    Same time (7-11PM), same cover charge ($7), and same location (Newburyport Elks).  Our opening act Twice Lucky has also confirmed for the new date - so come early to enjoy their unique brand of uptempo blues.

So now it's GAME ON!   We're EVEN MORE excited about bringing the party to all of you.  We'll be back in the studio this coming week refining our show and tightening up the arrangements and endings.  As you can imagine, there are a million details that go into performing, ending, and transitioning smoothly to keep you all dancing.

We've made some big investments to ensure that you all get to enjoy a memorable show - simple things like new lighting and new sound equipment will elevate your experience of the show.  

We're also planning to capture a LIVE recording of the show and lots and lots of photos and video - so the more you dance and the louder you scream for more - the more likely you'll be featured on our website.

See you all on the dance floor next Saturday night (and pray for clear skies this time!!)

Party On!
