The Jesse Charles Dance Band

We had the Jesse Charles Band perform at our Christmas party at the Villages and they were a huge hit! I’m still hearing rave reviews and people are asking «What was the name of that band?» We are a group of seniors and I can tell you, that dance floor was packed and people stayed to the very end. I also found them very easy to work with and it was a pleasure getting to know them.

The Jesse Charles Band recently provided entertainment for our company’s 50^th anniversary celebration. I’m still smiling gratefully over the choice we made in selecting this band. The night was magical, and the ambiance provided by this incredible group of talented musicians surely enhanced the event as it unfolded. Their intuitive and professional experience displayed flexibility in being able to adapt to a variety of moods throughout the evening, beginning with smooth jazz during cocktail hour and dinner, and then bursting into full-​fledged party song and dance after a brief celebratory program. I have never seen so many of our guests get up, dance, clap, and sing along at business functions, as this night. This was an outdoor evening event under a clear star filled night. Jesse and Lindsey were total professionals, knowing just how and when to engage the crowd to get them to participate. Their musical abilities were extremely good, versatile, and most importantly, inclusive of all our guests, regardless of age and abilities. I highly recommend them for personal and business events where entertainment might be needed for background or full engagement of guests. They will not disappoint you. Thanks Jesse & Lindsey for making a special occasion even more memorable!
Warmly,

This is as good as it gets. The Jesse Charles Band played for my husband’s 50^th birthday and what a hit. They started out with some soft jazz music as we finished up our dinner, then rocked it for the rest of the night. They played all types of music and always fulfilled our requests. Every band member is excepionally talented. Looking forward to seeing them again this Thursday in Campbell.

Looking for a rockin’ band for your next celebration? Look no further than the Jesse Charles Band… my top pick since 1989!!! The dance floor is always full when Jesse, Lindsey and the Band rock the house with their versatile repertoire or serenade their guests with a ballad medley. No matter the age, culture or musical preference, they can do it all! My clients have always been pleasantly surprised at the Band’s versatility and ability to satisfy all genres.

This band delivers! I’ve booked them countless times over the past 15 years for corporate events and private parties. I’ve seen them at many music festivals and can attest to that fact that they rock! Their song list is endless and Jesse really engages his audiences.

I hired the Jesse Charles Band for my wife’s surprise 50^th Birthday Party this last May.
…and they were awesome!
They played a little soft jazz through dinner and then nailed it with a great mix of rock’n roll all night long. They have three stellar vocalist that perform a wide spectrum of songs. Its a large band that offers 7 instruments. I highly recommend them for any kind of event. They are not cheap, but I can honestly say that I am happy with what I paid for. All the thank you letters went on and on telling us how it was the best party they had ever been to and the band was amazing. A great addition to the perfect (almost) surprise birthday.

We had jessy Charles play for my husband’s and my birthday dinner with 7 people with ages from 10 to 75. Everyone had fun … He knows how to get everyone involved and keep the energy up. He also knows when the play background music when conversation and dinner is more important.

The Jesse Charles Band puts the ‘fun’ in any party. They play new and old songs that everyone loves. This band will have people up dancing. The band is professional and great to work with for events. They won’t disaapoint!!!

I LOVE this band! I shot weddings for 6 years (2000 – 2006) and they stood out to me as a band that is really good at just about any requested song. And they have a great welcoming and joyful vibe about them. All around excellent entertainers!

I just saw this band perform for the first time and they were awesome. They started the show off with high energy and kept it going throughout the night. The variety of music was excellent and it kept the dance floor full. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Looking forward to their next shows.

In my personal opinion, The Jesse Charles Band is a the BEST dance band in the San Francisco Bay Area. They are talented musicians that know the event industry inside and out and make any party rock. I’ve know Jesse and Lindsey for years and they are respected by everyone I know as amazing musicians and great people. I’ve seen them at all kinds of functions. They are a great wedding dance band, corporate party band and even play at local bars occasionally. With both male and female lead singers and up to 6 instruments I think, they can do everything from 50’s standards, Blues, R&B, classic rock to current top pop hits and it all sounds great. No big performer egos on these folks! It’s your event, not their concert and they will do everything in their power to make sure your event is a ton of fun and a huge success.
You can meet them at their recording studio to hear for yourself~! They do book up pretty far in advance, so make sure to book them early!

We had the Jesse Charles Band play at our wedding reception. They were fantastic. From start to finish, from planning through to the last song, it was a pleasure dealing with them.
We wanted a specific first dance song — no issue.
We wanted to customize the set list — no issue.
We wanted to add horns — no issue, they brought in trumpet and sax players.
We wanted my Dad to sit in for a few songs — no issue, and it went great.
We could not have been happier with them.

The Jesse Charles Band played for my wedding at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. They were amazing. We went with the 6 piece band. From the beginning, Lindsey was professional and organized. She was a great master of ceremony as well. We were able to submit a list of favorites and non-​favorites. They honored our requests. At the start of the wedding reception, our guests entered the ballroom with the band playing classic jazz. Definitely a nice beginning. They were able to sequence the songs from classic, non-​cheesy wedding music to hipper, current hits. They had all the guests dancing. At one point, I was able to pick 4 guests to go on stage to perform with them. It was a hit!
They are true entertainers and really made the wedding reception a great time. I can’t thank them enough.

The JCB played (or should I say rocked) our wedding. They were a pleasure to work with from day one — and were worth every penny. After lots of research — they truly delivered top notch music, entertainment, and MC’ing.
I have been to a lot of weddings, and music can make or break the party — and if you want a fun playlist of classic hits, and today’s top hits as well — the singers NAIL it. T
hey are a full 8 piece band, and honestly, some of the songs I could not decipher from the original. If you request any song — request they sing Pink’s ‘Raise Your Glass’. I can recall that song erupting the party vividly.
All good things to report — highly recommend you give them a ring.
