When the Party Boat Docks

The Party Boat Band brings the mid-west's best of the best in Rock and Pop (70's, 80's, 90's - songs you would listen to at the beach, on the boat, or at the sandbar) featuring the tightest harmonies, full complement of instrumentation (keyboards, two guitars, bass and percussion) and a killer song list uniquely made up of songs that are well known and loved by all.

Party Boat is rare in its ability to balance its vocals and instrumentation for a live sound that is identical to its demo. At last a band that reflects the musical values that defined the professional rock music era.

Party Boat will bring to life a 3 hour, highly energetic, colorful, family friendly performance designed to take you on a magical trip to the islands without getting on a plane.

"The Party Boat Band was amazing! The songs they played were upbeat, fun songs that we could sing along with, dance to and/or just listen to their music. This was my first time hearing and I thoroughly enjoyed them and was so glad we had them for the surprise party. Everyone at the party was very impressed and gave many cudos! They were very accommodating with our requests for songs and playing longer than booked. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any function!" Lori Stinson

The Party Boat Band was great Friday night. Steve, family, friends and I really enjoyed it. You really made our night fun!

Denny,
My husband and I were at the park when you and your band were perfoming. I had no idea what a wonderful voice you have! We really enjoyed listening to the Party Boat Band and we consider that Wednesday Indian Trails Concert in the Park one of the best! A. G.

Spring 2012

The weather has turned to warm and the Party Boat is back playing gigs after taking January and February off. The Party Boat sailed into Cromwell to Jus Jean and had a great time with the Michiana Parrotheads for St. Patty's Day. Great crowd, great event. Raise over $1100 for Ronald McDonald House Charities.

"Oh What a Night" is how it was at the Legion Post 47 last night. When a crowd stays with you and keeps asking for more you can't wait until the next time.

Indian Trails Park - Aboite Township

Wow! What can we say? The crowd was huge, the response extensive, and all the compliments gave us a real boost. Barbara Krisher was an excellent hostess and we really appreciate her support. Marshall had us dialed in with his usual expertise from the sound board. Denny even had a group from the old neighborhood in Berne, Indiana. Tony Strebig sat in with us at Indian Trails and as usual, the crowd loved him blowing on that horn. It's gigs like this that keep us playin' music. Thanks to everyone. Party Boat Band - Mark Dennon, Kent Krisher, Gary Everett, Garth Coons and Denny Sprunger

What a great time we had playing in Niles, Michigan. The people were so friendly and you could feel the positive emotion from the crowd to the stage. Next time the only thing we'd change is the weather. No rain!!!
