  We play many songs that most bands shy away from because we have four singers along with a killer drummer. We also know how to play at a reasonable volume level.
  
  You will not regret hiring us for your event.

  "Thank you so much for making our wedding reception such an amazing success! You guys sounded fantastic and played exactly the types of music we were looking for. We got so many great comments from our guests about how much fun everyone had! We couldn’t have picked a better band for our special day. You made everything run so smoothly and kept everyone involved….thank you thank you thank you! You guys were great and we will gladly recommend you to anyone who asks."

  Someone told us the groom could play a "little guitar"!
  
  
  Steve Clancy and the Easy Money Band are fantastic! We were lucky enough to get them for our big 25th anniversary party in August [20011] and they were a hit.
  
  Easy Money Band plays it all – classic and recent rock and roll, blues, Beatles, Eric Clapton, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Stevie Ray Vaughn, B.B. King, Stones-you name it and they’ll play it. And with a name like Clancy, Steve can even throw in a few Irish songs as well.
  
  EMB did a great job of keeping our party rolling along into the wee hours and many of our friends remarked that they were a great band! We’d hire them without any hesitation for our next party. Steve was a pleasure to work with planning our party and even let a couple of our musical friends sit in with EMB for a few songs."
  
  
  "We are glad to be able to feature Easy-Money-Band as part of our entertainment lineup for this coming season at Naples Campground. You guys do a fantastic job entertaining people of all ages, which is important for a family focused establishment like ours. You keep everyone (including us!) involved singing, dancing and having a great time and we get so many compliments from our guests about how much fun they have when you are here.
  
  Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you this Summer!
  
  
  "We love the Easy-Money-Band! We asked them to help the Standish Sno-Seekers with a fundraiser and what a arty it was! They certainly can work with a crowd and play according to what that crowd likes to hear. Everybody loved being included in the show and hanging with the band. There were lots of compliments floating around the room that night."
