About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

"Hard Times Band" is a well known classic rock / blues band playing: 70s - 80s and 90s+ classic rock. Our blues and slow music is blended in making our show versatile. Hard Times members have years of playing experience. Over the years members have been involved with all types of venues to include: weddings, festivals, corporate events, clubs, bars, benefits, and most special ocassions, just to name a few. So to say: " been there done that", fits this group of very well. A current setlist is provided on the "Bash" website, "PLEASE REVIEW"! Members have a professional demeanor, and will always treat people with respect! We love to invite crowd participation and involve a crowd in what we do. Participation just makes an event more fun for everyone! No matter the ocassion, we have a great time performing recognizable classic rock for you. No crowd is too young or too old to enjoy our music. Our music selection is widely varied by different artists but, is definitely recognizable by all age groups. We see people tapping their feet and singing along to "known songs" as we move through our sets. We may even throw in a few "good ol songs" that other bands just refuse to play. But, we bet you know and remember these songs and possibly where you were when you first heard them. Oh, and we love "dancers" too. "Hard Times" is 4 piece group of seasoned musicians and we love what we do. A large crowd is wonderful but, small gatherings are a great time as well. We enjoy performing, and have just as much fun playing for 50 people as we do 500! Travel is no problem for the band. We have and will play most anywhere, and for any type of venue. Members have played all over Michigan. Some of us have even played in surrounding states. A request will be made for an early setup time prior to your event. This insures that our setup is not rushed and allows a proper "sound check" to be completed. If hired and upon an initial contact (usually by phone) a request may be made to meet with clients a week or two before an actual event, if at all possible? The best situation is to meet at the party location? (Preferred). This early meeting insures face to face communication and to discuss early planning. During this meeting we can somewhat get to know each other and find out what is expected during an event. We also like to discuss a plan "B" should something change last minute. The day or evening of your event we will always be early. Arriving early allows us to speak with organizers / planners for a second time. We can also make sure that there has been no last minute change's in previous planning. At "show time" this band will give "it all" for your special occasion. We will be dressed appropriately for for your event. A check of attire with the organizers will be made. We work for you, look respectable, and enjoy being part of someone's special time! This is "us" in a nutshell with no "fluff"! . "Thank You" for taking time to look at "Hard Times"! We look forward to seeing you in the future! Note: Bid for your special time may take up to a day. A check of our booking schedule is necessary to make sure this is not a possible "double booking" situation. It is also necessary to contact all band members for availability. Members are all over mid to west Michigan. Some have day jobs. Photos posted are from past events a while back. A current set list along with other pertanent information (phone # - email) is also available on our "Bash" home page. Again, "PLEASE" take the time to look at our set list. ( subject to change) Feel free to call the number listed on the Bash website anytime! It is my cell phone. If no answer please leave me a message! Stay safe, enjoy "live music" anytime you get the chance! Have a good year! Bruce, Bass - B.L. "Hard Times Band"

Community EventReviewed on June 13, 2022From Marshall, MI

Great band! Very professional and organized. I didn't have to worry about anything. Communication was top notch! They played a great variety of music and we received lots of compliments.

Hard Times Band:

Thank you April for an outstanding review! You and your crew were great host, and you as a manager were top notch! Communication was and always is key, and we had that, it's all a band could ask for. You made our job that much easier, which reflects on our performance. I must say, your establishment is beautiful. One of the nicest places we've played overall. Look forward to seeing you again, and thank you so much for a good time!
