Our Story
The name of the band was chosen from the board game called Midnight Party. Tom was a member of the band as well as sharing the stage with Alvin Draper, Sunny Rhodes, Kam Schreaf, Kenny Blue Ray, Eric Rosveldt, Ray-Ray, Terrance Healey, Ken Watson, and Evan Thomas.
Fast forward to today; my friend “DJ Rob from KSKQ-FM” introduced me to my first bass player. I later formed a rock and blues based band and called it Midnight Party Band. We are equipped to play small venues utilizing a suitcase PA or larger venues using a larger sound system. We like to play to the audience and read their body language, extend a song if they dance or cut it short if it doesn’t work. Audiences need to breathe so we bring it down every third or fourth song. We want people to have a nice time, dance and talk. We play the music we love with energy and fun.
