The Good Life band ROCKED my Memorial Day party ! My guest felt like they were at a concert. You know you hired the right band when the police come to shut down a party by 10pm and instead request a song ?? . Lou’s communication skills was of a professional making sure he played the songs we wanted from a long list wide variety. They showed up with lights and high quality equipment. They also handled keeping music playing when they took breaks, wow a first for me. My guest were so into the band dancing, singing and keeping the vibe so high …we had to add an extreme hour. Good Life is extremely talented and if you want your party to Rock, Hire them !! Thanks Lou

The Good Life was the best part of my recent party. We had a beautiful setting, food and flowers, but the music and positive energy from the band was the reason the evening was so special. They are professional, enthusiastic, and really talented. Every song sounded great. They engaged the crowd, but always made sure they were staying in step with the vibe we were looking for. Lou (band leader) was great about communicating during party planning; talked and FaceTimed w me as much as I wanted to help me figure out details re where band should set up in rain vs shine etc. I cannot recommend The High Life highly enough!

Nothing but extremely positive things to say about this band. The Good Life played my wedding which included an acoustic set for cocktail hour, and 3 live sets during the reception. Not only did they nail our first dance song, but absolutely killed it during the reception. Everyone could not stop talking about how awesome the music was at the wedding!
Lou was a great point of contact throughout the planning process. He made the process fun and exciting, and clearly brought a high degree of experience and professionalism. We felt like we were in good hands leaving the sound and set up to him and the band.
Seriously could not recommend The Good Life any higher!

Can't say enough good things about the performance and communication leading up to the event.High energy which got the group dancing. I for one was rarely off the dance floor. even after a long day. Their song catalog was perfectly matched to what we were looking for. Highly recommend. I hope we get to see them more often performing outside of private events!

We hired The Good Life for my husbands 30th birthday party, and they DELIVERED! We have the absolutely best time and the band was absolutely amazing. Lou was such a pleasure to work with, and the rest of the band was super nice. We hired the band for 4 hours (three 1 hour sets with 30 min breaks in between). They arrived an hour in advance to set up and were super neat and speedy. The sets were so fun- the band brought a lot of energy and sounded fantastic! Could not recommend the band more. We will absolutely hire them again and go see them play whenever they’re performing.

I booked "The Good Life" for my birthday bash at the Jersey Shore. Can't say enough about the band - they brought the party to life! Lou and the band were really easy and great to work with - super responsive. Check out their Spotify playlist and their videos on the Bash! They are even better live if possible! Book them for your next event - they do not disappoint!

I seriously don't have enough good things to say about Lou and the boys from The Good Life. They were amazing - seriously, if you're looking for live music for your event, book them.
They did my outdoor wedding in September, including the sound for the ceremony, an acoustic set during cocktail hour, and two full sets during the reception, and exceeded every single one of our expectations.
Lou was attentive, communicative, friendly, and helpful - and he, and the entire band were excellent. Seriously talented.
Lou, thank you for making our wedding special - cheers to you and the whole band!

The band played for us at a 90's themed birthday party and gave a great performance that was enjoyed by everyone who attended from the youngest to the oldest. They are a well prepared, very professional group of talented musicians. The band was very easy to communicate with prior to the party and worked closely with the party organizers to customize a perfect set list for the party. The band was also very accomodating and extremely easy to work with during the party and are genuinely nice guys.

We cannot recommend The Good Life enough!!! We hired them for our Halloween party/wedding reception and they absolutely killed it! Our guests have not stopped raving about how amazing and talented they all were. And they were super accommodating throughout the process of preparing to have them at our party. They even included a My Chemical Romance song into their set for us!!! They really made our party above and beyond!!!!

This was for my husbands 40th birthday. They were great!!! The band accommodated every request we had. They really impressed me. We had asked them to also accommodate the infants we had as to noise level and they took that into consideration. If you are looking for a band who will keep your party entertained and go above and beyond to accommodate your needs and requests go with this one!! I will definitely use them in the future.

The Still Life band was extremely accommodating on a very hot June day, outside, with a party of 80-100 guests! During the planning process, they were very open to playlist suggestions and got everyone from 15-80 years old dancing. The night concluded with the Graduates (my daughter and my son) signing with the band and their friends telling us (parents) what a great time they had! Book them! Do not hesitate!

We hired Lou and the Still Life for my 40th bday party. He was so accommodating with our needs and budget creating the perfect party for our guests. They arrived early to make sure they were set up prior to our guests arriving. They played music from the 80s, 90s and current per my request. They even let me and my guests get in on the fun with a little sing along action. My guests had the best time! Exactly what I wanted for live music that was fun and engaging.
