commented on how good the band sounded. All
five of you are total pros - thanks for
being a class act and making our night
memorable (and sweaty!)
Thanks 56 Daze
for an amazing wedding reception! All of my
guests have commented that 56 Daze was the
best band they have ever seen at any event.
Everyone was dancing all night and had an
absolute blast. From when you announced our
arrival to the very last dance there wasn't
a bored person in the crowd. Even one ofmy aunts who

June 19th, 2010 PICTURES FROM THIS EVENT Tony and the band were very easy to work
with and accommodated all of our requests. We
have had several guests tell us how much they
loved the band and all of the music that was
played. I would recommend anyone to use 56
Daze. We wouldn't change a thing and loved
everything about the band!
56 Daze and Tony were absolutely the
highlight of our reception. From the moment
they began to the moment
our reception ended, the dance floor was
PACKED!!!
Tony did an amazing job as an emcee, and as
a whole, the band
sounded dynamite...
Tracey and I still receive compliments and
rave reviews today , almost 2 months after
the wedding, regarding 56 Daze...
As a matter of fact, one of our friends that
was in attendance at the wedding just booked
56 Daze for her special day.
Thanks again Tony, and the rest of you guys
in 56 Daze... you truly made our night one
to remember always....

56Daze is a
class act all of the way and put on a fantastic
show. Every guest at our wedding commented it
was the best reception they had ever been to.
They are professional from day 1 ... helping lay
out the program, learning songs, and making sure
the bride/groom don't have to worry about the
details. The music is awesome ... they kept the
dance floor packed the entire night. I highly
recommend.
Thanks for a fantastic show at our wedding
Memorial Day weekend... we had an absolute
blast!!
Jonny and I were so thrilled
by 56DAZE!!! Still to this day we have
people from the wedding telling us that we
had an amazing band and that you guys were
AWESOME! Jonny and I could not have agreed
any more, I highly reccomend 56DAZE you
were everything we could have ever hoped for
in a wedding band! Thanks!
Tony, the band
(56DAZE) gave us an amazing
performance for our wedding night. We truly
believe you and the band made our wedding
night by setting the tone. The consistent
feedback we have gotten is that we did it
right with the music! Thanks for making our
special day amazing!
Its not an exaggeration to say that 56DAZE
made our wedding reception. I cant count
the number of compliments I got on your
performance. Apart from the performance
aspect, which was awesome, you were always
very responsive and easy to work with.
Thanks again
for a great time and I wish you and the rest
of 56DAZE nothing but success. Keep up the
great work. Ill be recommending you to
everyone I know who is looking for a great
wedding band.

I cannot sing your praises high enough, you made
the night so much fun! I think a true testament
was at the end when everyone was demanding
more...it was a perfect ending. The band can
either make a party or break it - you made
it! Thank you so much for all you did. You were
so easy to work with and made it worry free for
us. Everyone is having a blast looking at the
pictures online already.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Just got home from the wedding and couldn't even
wait to tell you guys how thrilled we were with
your performance. We had such an awesome time
thanks to your upbeat, energetic musical and
emceeing talents. Thank you so much to Tony for
helping to keep us on time and not letting us
stress out when we realized we were late. The
entire band was so professional yet fun. The
dance floor was so packed that I swear there was
not a single butt in a chair the entire evening.
Our friends and family, young and old,
thoroughly enjoyed everything that you guys
played. The variety was fantastic and your
talent is beyond compare. I cannot say enough
good things about this band. Do not miss an
opportunity to hire them for any event. 56Daze
totally fit in at our black tie wedding. They
are professional, class act gentlemen, who can
go from serious emceeing moments during toasts
to rocking the entire building with their
rendition of "Don't Stop Believing." Take my
advice and ask them to play "Hey Ya". Even my
87-year-old grandma was up boogying during "Hey
Ya." We had such an amazing time with the
entire band and truly didn't want the evening to
end. Tony and company, thank you sincerely from
the bottom of our hearts. We will remember this
night forever. We wish you the best of luck in
all of your future performances and look forward
to you becoming even more famous. You will
always have a special place in our hearts.
56Daze provided the total package (MC, DJ and
Live Music) that helped make our wedding
reception the best party of our lives!
Tony and the band were not only great the night
of the wedding but were the easiest part of our
wedding planning process, being easy to deal
with and able to accommodate all of our musical
requests. Since the wedding we have heard
nothing but glowing comments from our guests
with the number one question being how we found
such a great band! People (bride and groom
included) were impressed at how the band was
able to read the audience, play the music at
just the right level for the venue and make it
feel like a one of a kind experience.
Bottom line - music makes a party. These
guys know music and how to deliver!
I
booked 56 DAZE
for the Northwest Ohio Rib-Off as well as the
Our Lady of Perpetual Help church festival the
past two years (Toledo, OH.) These guys
exceeded expectations at every turn. They
sounded great and kept the crowd there and
spending money well into the night with an
impressive variety of music- there is truly
something for everyone. Their stage
show is first class, the sound system perfectly
set, and their professionalism is second to
none. If you have the opportunity to hire
these guys- DO NOT HESITATE! It is an
investment well made into the success of your
event.
We wish to extend our sincerest thanks
to 56 Daze for a job well done with our annual
holiday party. Our employees are still talking
about what a wonderful time they had and how
much they enjoyed your performance. You had even
those we thought would never be on the dance
floor up and moving the entire evening.
Everything from your sound, music selection,
crowd interaction, and professionalism was
exceptional.
Your willingness to meet
with us during our event planning stages
reassured us that we had made a great decision
when it came to selecting a band. We were able
to walk into the party knowing that you would do
a great job entertaining a corporate audience.
We look forward to working with you guys again
and would recommend 56 Daze for any occasion.
Thanks again for a truly memorable event.
This letter is in reference to Tony Poling and
56DAZE. I am an Emergency
Medicine Physician who plays a few roles in our
company and one of them is arranging two
Holiday/Corporate Parties- one for 400 guests
and one for 300 guests. I have done this
for the last 6 years and these events have been
a tremendous success. We have enjoyed a
band from Lorio Ross Entertainment over the
years but we wanted a change. We were
looking for someone to come in and shake things
up a bit; someone who engaged the crowd. I
had never heard 56DAZE but one of my partners
told me he had been to a couple summer weddings
where he heard them. His comment was "they
sounded great and everyone was on the
dance floor". So, I listened to the demos
on the web-site and frankly, they are much
better live. We took a chance and hired
Tony for both parties. Our guests LOVED
THEM!! Everyone was on the dance floor and
had an amazing time!! We have already booked
them for both events for 2009. As an added
unexpected bonus, the candid pictures we
received from the event were so much fun to look
at...the moments were well-captured and the
quality was great.
As someone who has to make a lot of arrangements
for these events, Tony made the
music/entertainment aspect very easy for me. He
set me at ease from the very first phone call I
made to him and remained a true professional to
the end. He was easy-going, flexible and
excellent in customer service. My
experience was stress-free and I trusted that he
cared about our events. Tony and the
members of 56DAZE can read the crowd well and I
didn't feel they were just at our events to put
in their 6 hours. I felt that they really
cared about giving a great performance and
really wanted everyone to have a great time.
I am more than happy that we took a chance with
56DAZE and now we plan to have them every year!!

"Chris and I can’t thank Tony and the band
enough for the outstanding job! They far
exceeded our expectations for the event and had
a mob out on the dance floor the entire night
(the photos don’t lie!). The great variety of
music satisfied the young and the old and again,
kept everyone dancing. The arrangement of the
songs was well put together and the tempo of the
night was perfect. We would hire them again in a
heartbeat. And the photos of the event are a
real treat since our guest were busy parting and
we won’t receive the professional photos for a
while. Friends and guest, present and not
present, were ecstatic to visit the website and
see the photos. "
I have been booking 56 Daze at my club for over
three years on a very regular basis and have
been very pleased with the quality of their
performances. Tony and the band are very
professional, punctual, reliable, personable
people; they interact well with my staff and
with my clientele. 56 Daze has built a
following of their own in the Monroe Michigan
area that regularly seeks them out wherever they
play. We all look forward to seeing 56 Daze play
at the Clamdigger; not only is it good for
business, its fun to watch them!

" Jacki and I just want to thank you guys again
for doing such an awesome job at our wedding.
From the starting lineups (which people loved)
all the way until Faithfully, you were amazing!!
I was sweating so much from dancing all night my
tux was drenched, and it's because we loved your
music so much. We especially appreciated
you learning all those songs before our wedding,
and you played them great. I was so
impressed at how much you sounded like the
original bands----Take on Me, Come On Eileen,
Your Love, Don't Stop Believin'----those were
incredible (and the first time I've heard you
play them). Most importantly, you kept the
crowd dancing until the very end. Hava
Nagila was also perfect. Not too long or
short---just right. We were having so much
fun it seems like a blur. All of our
friends were raving about you guys. They're
still talking about it 3 days later. Albert
Weisbrot (the guest singer) said you are the
best wedding band he's ever heard (and he's been
to a TON of weddings). Thank you for being
so easygoing and able to make our wedding
exactly the way we wanted it. I had the
most fun night of my life, and my only regret is
that we couldn't rock out for another hour. Jacki
and I seriously wish we could do our wedding
party all over again because it was so fun and
went so fast.
We LOVED the pictures on your website, and I've told everybody at
the wedding to check them out. Thanks for
getting the pics up so quickly--we could hardly
wait to see them. Thanks again for
everything. Without your band, the wedding
wouldn't have been nearly the same. You guys
should feel really good about bringing so much
joy and fun to people's lives.
"Just want to say “THANK YOU” for the excellent
job you guys did at Matt and Michelle’s wedding
reception. From our very first contact several
months ago through the end of the reception you
were all professional, courteous and helpful. We
first found out about your band on your web site
and really liked your diversified play list and
when you started playing at the reception my
first thought was that “these guys are really
good.” As the night went on you only got
better. I had no idea that you were such a
quality act and it was nice to hear so many
compliments on your band….Matt and Michelle had
the time of their lives! Your music sounds
so much better live than on your web site. If I
ever have a chance to recommend 56 DAZE to
anyone I will do so. You’ve got to be Toledo’s
best kept secret! Thanks again."

"We wanted to thank you for putting on a
fantastic show at our wedding a few weeks ago!
You did an excellent job MC-ing the dinner and
first dances as well. You guys got
everyone on the dance floor and kept the party
going all night long, it’s a shame the night had
to end! The entire crowd, young and old had
nothing but great things to say about your style
and song selection. Thanks for putting up
all of the pictures on the website, it’s great
to see so many smiling faces! Thanks
again, we look forward to hearing you in the
future."
"AWESOME, Very Professional, & Top of the Line -
Describes your work at my daughter's wedding.
Everyone enjoyed - I mean EVERYONE,
enjoyed the band and stated that you were the
best band they have ever heard at a wedding.
It was packed on the dance floor from the
beginning to the end and was even more packed as
the night went on!"
"Thank YOU guys! Everyone, I mean, everyone was
so impressed by you guys! You really kept things
going and had a great feel for the crowd. I will
enjoy hearing you at my sister's wedding! Also,
thanks for getting the pics up so fast. We had a
bbq at my parents house today, and put them on
their big screen. Thanks!"
"Had a great time at the Firemen's Ball and
looking forward to having you guys back next
year. This was by far the best dance that they
have had due to your entertainment. Throughout
the night guests kept telling my husband
(Northville Firefighter) what a great band you
guys were. See ya next year!!! P.S. Thanks for
posting all those pics.
" I did not get a chance to say thank you and
what a great job that you all did on New Years
Eve 2008 at Meshingomesia Country Club.
What a professional experience that we had with
your group. Your selection of music was
spot on for the entire evening and I feel like
our membership had the best time they could
possibly have. The sound, performance,
interaction with the crowd was just awesome.
We look forward to working with 56 Daze again in
the future. We will always remember New
Years Eve at Meshingomesia Country Club thanks
to all of you."
~ Doug Hill (General Manager) ~ New Years Eve at Meshingomesia Country
Club
"You guys MADE our wedding. I cannot
tell you how many compliments we've gotten on
your performance. Guests have continually
commented that you 'kept us on our feet from the
first chords to the last of the encores', and
I've heard a number of people recount the packed
dance floor chanting 'ONE MORE SONG' as the
clock struck 1:30 in the morning. Seeing
my husband interpretive dance to the 'Eye of the
Tiger', and then do the Dirty Dancing lift
sequence with my younger brother was
priceless... but seeing my mother on stage with
you guys, playing the tambourine song after
song, was the highlight of my night. I
will continue to tell anyone who's looking for a
band to play their wedding or event anywhere
near Northern Ohio that the search is over- you
guys (56DAZE) are it!"
~ Carey Jaros ~
Wedding in Cleveland, OH
"If you want a great band to get the
crowd dancing choose 56 Daze! We were a little
nervous booking them because we had never seen
them perform live. We just read all of the great
reviews and got in touch w/ a couple of past
clients. Everything was true--they were great to
work with, our guests loved them, and everyone
danced the whole night! They really made our
wedding memorable!!"
~ Jennifer Darmanin-Holahan ~ Wedding in Ann Arbor, MI
"The guys of 56 Daze rocked the square
last night here in downtown Lima! We host
many bands throughout the summer season and they
were one of the crowd favorites. I am
looking forward to having them back again next
year for our “Rally in the Square” season, held
every Friday night. What a great mix of music!
Thanks"

"Hilary and I want to express our sincere
appreciation and thanks for your incredible
performance at our reception. As any
couple planning a wedding, we were faced with
the decision of hiring a band or a dj. We
wanted to have a variety of songs, but we also
wanted our wedding to be a special experience
for everyone. You guys made it that
special experience. Our reception was
absolutely perfect -- you guys played songs that
kept everyone dancing, from parents/grandparents
and little kids, to our friends. I don't
know how you do it, but everyone, regardless of
age, just loved the music! During the
reception, everyone I talked to complimented you
guys. Since the reception, everyone I talk
to about the wedding knows about you guys.
We also were very impressed with
how stress free you made the process leading up
to the wedding. This winter/spring we had
a graduation, bar exam, and teacher
certification exams on top of planning the
wedding -- everything was just crazy. You
guys kept in touch, always responded to our
questions the same day, and made the whole thing
an enjoyable experience. We will recommend
your band in the future without hesitation!
Special thanks to you and the guys, and especially Scott, for
letting me sit in on the drums."
~ Ross Bower & Hilary Lyman-Bower ~ Wedding in Traverse City, MI
"We wanted to thank you for 'MAKING' our
wedding! To this day our guests can't stop
talking about how awesome the band was at our
wedding. The music selection was perfect!
Thanks again for making our wedding
unforgettable!"
~ Andrea & Adam Fries ~
Wedding in Toledo, OH
"Tony, you and the guys did an incredible job
with our annual Corporate Holiday Party.
You were able to read the crowd and react
accordingly. Your interaction with our
employees kept the party going all night long,
and the dance floor was never empty. I was
told to make sure that I had an exceptional band
for the party. You made the night
exceptional and everyone very happy. I am
so glad to see that 56DAZE has the ability to be
diverse by being a great bar band, but kicking
up the level of professionalism when needed to
be a crowd pleaser for the Corporate set too.
You offered a reasonable price for the service
offered, a great look and sound, and even had
the band members dressed appropriately in the
ties and vests for our semi-formal event.
When we get to setting the budget and date for
next year's event, I am sure you'll be the first
call I make. Thanks again!"

"We are happy to take this opportunity to
recommend 56 Daze. As many couples
experience, finding qualified musicians with
reasonable prices who are dependent can be
difficult. With 56 Daze, we felt
comfortable from the very beginning. Tony
and 56 Daze went above and beyond to make our
wedding reception a fun and memorable night.
We truly appreciate the time and preparation 56
Daze put into ensuring our reception went off
without a hitch. We are still receiving
compliments from our guests about 56 Daze.
We would strongly recommend 56 Daze to any
couple that is looking for a band that will play
a variety of songs and ensure the guests are
having a great time."
~ Megan & Travis Rockey ~ Wedding in Lima, OH
"Overall, 56 Daze is awesome! The dance floor
was packed the entire night at my wedding
reception! They can sing any song and they are
so accommodating. Tony MC'd my entire wedding
reception which was great! We spoke on the phone
a week before the wedding to make sure we had
everything planned out. My family & friends are
still talking about how great the band was! This
is a great band to hire for any type of
occasion! They are worth every cent!"
~ Melanie Fater (Bride) ~ Wedding in Riverview, MI
"OMG! You guys are the BEST!
Julie and Troy's wedding was a blast and I can't
thank you enough! The end of the night was
really something else! THANK YOU for
everything. I can't wait to get to our
family picnic tomorrow to see everyone again and
hear how much fun you all made it be for
everyone! The band sets the tone, and you
guys did it right all the way! I hated to
see the night end!"
~ Tammy Kaye ~ Wedding in Dublin, OH
"Thank you so much for making Courtney
and Jonathans wedding reception so special.
Family and friends are still talking about it
and how great your band is. Courtney and
Jonathan said from the start of all the plans
for the wedding they had to have you. I know now
why. Again thank you."
~ Denise Shaffstall ~
Wedding in Cleveland, OH
"I am writing this note to reccomend 56DAZE for
your wedding or event. We hired the guys
for my daughters wedding on May 28, 2006.
Everything from the booking to the follow-up
afterwards was done in a professional manner.
I felt our needs were met at all ends.
Some of our issues were - a mixed faith wedding.
The band learned songs to make everyone happy.
The Maste of Ceremonies helped the wedding
events flow easily. And it you look at the
"Bobbarazzi" pictures of any wedding they have
done - you know everyone has fun. that was
my daughtersgoal for her wedding, to have a
great party, and 56DAZE helped us to achieve
this.
P.S.- My husband was a member of a band
years ago and keeps up his guitar skills.
Well, he was invited to play along with the band
and it truly made my daughters wedding that much
more special!"
~ Sandy Brown ~ Wedding in Sylvania, OH
"Thanks for taking care of our employee
Christmas Party at COSI on December 16th.
It looks like we had about 400 of our employees
and family at the venue. The positive
feedback to all of the management in the company
prior to the event and after the show has been
excellent. The selections were perfect for
all ages. I found out later that besides myself, we
had many of our regular employees that have
followed you and your band when you play
locally."
~ Michael Hopkins- Event Coordinator ~ Holiday Party in Toledo, OH
"As a night club that has a reputation as
one of the best live-entertainment venues in
Northwest Ohio for the past 15 years, I was very
happy with this band. (56DAZE) They were
professional, played to the crowd and had a very
diverse selection of music that tailored to my
audience. I would highly suggest them to
anyone that wants quality entertainment with a
fun atmosphere."
~ Brian Pero - General Manager ~ Various Dates in Toledo, OH
"I just wanted to thank you again for your
wonderful performance at our Independence
Celebration. Your band engaged the
audience during the entire performance and your
music selections appealed to many age groups."
~ Karen Patten - Events Coordinator ~ Independence Day Celebration in

"Wow!.... What an awesome night! Sun
Federal Credit Union's annual meeting on March
19, 2005 was complete because of the great
entertainment your group (56DAZE) provided.
I appreciate the professionalism of the entire
band and your willingness to help us with our
requests.
Our members really enjoyed dancing to the great
music and getting their picture taken by the "Bobbarrazi".
Thank you for sharing these photos! It is
the first year I have candid pictures of the
members enjoying themselves during the
entertainment!
56DAZE would be a welcomed addition to
any business celebration."
