The Search Party

 

The Search Party brings fresh energy and spark to an exciting repertoire of Rock, Pop, R&B, Reggae and more. For over a decade now, this Boston based 5-piece band has been thrilling audiences with dynamic performances that rate absolutely second to none.

Many first saw The Search Party in 1994 during their appearance on the national television talent show Star Search. Others have become fans after hearing them perform at clubs, weddings, corporate parties or concert dates. Their critically acclaimed CD of original music, "Days of Magic," brought more people into the fold and showed that this was a group that delivers much more than most.

The Search Party consists of five world class musicians, all of whom compose and record on their own in addition to their membership in the band. These musicians ensure to throw a great party with great music including  Dave Matthews Band, Van Morrison, Earth, Wind & Fire, Norah Jones, Glen Miller, Bob Marley, Santana, and Frank Sinatra.

This band is different from most you've heard. Musically trained yet inherently funky, they have a stunning command of widely varied styles as well as genuine enthusiasm for making a party come alive. They are on time, on target, and on fire.  Laid-back or tuxedoed, they make every performance fresh.

Customer Comments:

"...you guys did such a FABULOUS job!!!! Everyone was raving about you including my 5 year old, Liam, who now refers to you as the 'Shrek' band because you played his favorite song 'I'm A Believer.' You are a great group of guys and you personally could not have been more helpful!" - Kathy

"Thanks for a wonderful job on Saturday night. You guys truly delivered. You had rave reviews from everybody, young and old. I was very, very impressed. People danced and loved the energy." - Rory

"Everything was perfect and we really appreciate all you did to help make it that way. You were able to read the crowd and play the music that everyone wanted to hear. You were also very patient and accommodating with the last minute changes and issues that arose on the spot." - Sally and Eric Peterson

"The song selection was perfect, the skill with which you played the songs impressive, and the energy you brought to the stage really enhanced the whole party atmosphere. We've gotten a lot of feedback from guests who were there, and they all said that they 'loved' the band!"  - Daniel Guernsey

"Wow! It's been two weeks since Search Party played at our wedding, and we're still hearing from our guests what a fabulous time they had dancing to your music! Thank you so much for being the perfect musicians for what, in our opinion, was the perfect wedding!"  - Beth and Robin Burnett

 

Reviews of "Days of Magic"

             

" ... a reggae styled island music emanated from my speakers like a warm ocean current. This is a group of expertly seasoned musicians that let their music set the mood. It's loads of fun and light-hearted without compromising any of the musician's ability, which for the most part, is beyond reproach. If you ever get stranded on a desert island, pray that this Search Party finds you with your dancin' shoes intact." - Douglas Sloan, Metronome Magaaine

 "The feel good album of the year! I can't help but love this smooth yet textural, calypso-styled pop music, especially when it's done ever so tastefully. There's a good set of themes for discussion ranging from love in 'Coming Home' and 'Giving it Back' to the just plain fun and nonsense of 'Me and Mr. Blue' and 'Monkey Do!' The performance and production are superbly smooth, the vocals are nearly flawless, and the music is uplifting and youthful." - Rick Schettino, New England Performer Magazine

 "In the same vein, with an added Carribean-pop flavor, is The Search Party. Again, playful lyrics and smart musicianship mark the seasoned flow of the band's self produced 'Days of Magic.' ... A CD worth searching out." - Paul Robicheau, The Boston Globe

The band's new release "If I Dream" is coming soon...
