2007 New Year’s Eve Testimonial

Phat Chants made our New Year’s Eve party memorable. They were professional in all ways, from interview to set-up to musical preparation. It is not often that a band can inspire everyone to dance, even so-called non-dancers! Their rapport with our guests, their choice of songs, and their entertaining banter put everyone at ease. Good music is key to a good party and Phat Chants delivered. We could not have been more pleased.


Sincerely,

Dear Music Lover,

I am writing to you so that I may make a strong recommendation for hiring the talented band, Phat Chants.
I had the pleasure of working with Jim Davis and his group for a large New Year’s Eve party on Dec 31st, 2006. In addition to providing a wide array of music styles, and playing them all to perfection, the professionalism of this band was impressive. They were on time, in synch, and lookin’ good, too! The party was a success because of their ability to keep the groove goin’ and mix up the rhythms, tempos and energy.

The next time I have another party or event that requires excellent music, I will be hiring Phat Chants for certain!

Respectfully submitted,

Linda Roxanne Bryer

We first heard Phat Chants play at Michael’s on Main. They were so much fun, (I immediately connected with them, the music they played, the style etc.) I dropped a card requesting they call me.
Every year we host a New Year’s Eve Party for 100-120 people in our home and I asked Phat Chants to play NYE 2005. I had had other bands play before, but everyone just loved them. The music choices were great (especially for our age group 40-60). Our affair was black tie. They dressed for the event, were very professional in the way they set up and interacted with me and the other guests. We have never had so many guests involved, dancing, singing and just generally having a great time as we did that year.
We also got married last year and asked them back to play at our reception in November 2006. Once again everything went smoothly and a wonderful time was had by all. They are consummate entertainers.
A friend of ours hosted the New Years Eve party for us in 06, but on the recommendation of the group, also hired Phat Chants as the band of choice, and once again, they were sensational.
I highly recommend them as a professional, entertaining, polished and just plain fun band who is flexible and just great at what they do.
I would be glad to provide a reference as needed.

Best Regards,

Speaking of Santa Cruz bands, which seem to be playing more and more in this area, the classic rock band PHAT CHANTS plays Moss Landing Inn Friday night.
This is a band that has developed fans here by playing venues like Britannia Arms and Bullwackers with a song list that includes rock originals and covers of songs by the Stones, Beatles, Doors, Eric Clapton, Santana and Dire Straits.

PHAT CHANTS
No, they are not hip-hop buddhists. PHAT CHANTS plays good old rock 'n' roll with a big British sound. Think Beatles, Stones, Van Morrison. The group also has a host of originals, soon to be released on CD.
