Wedding•Reviewed on January 2, 2014•From Tahoe City, CA
They absolutely rocked! We got married up in Lake Tahoe and couldn't have asked for a more professional, accommodating, and fun time with Jumpstart. Stan was there for us from initial contact through the night of the event. Right off the bat their high energy had everyone on the out on the floor, shedding jackets and hiking up dresses to dance the night away. It went beyond just a live performance as they even invited up the wedding party and guests. We would highly recommend them to any of our friends and family. All of our guests said they had the best time and it completed our perfect night. Thank you Jumpstart and we hope to rock out with you at the next event!

Retirement Party•Reviewed on November 19, 2013•From Walnut Creek, CA
They were great from start to finish!! We had a very unique venue to work with, and they were more than accommodating to make sure everything went off without a hitch! They played songs that were requested, as well as the classic party songs, and kept the party going well into the early morning hours, and with the wide range of age groups we had there, it was hard to do! They were professionals, and you could tell that they really enjoyed what they did, which is always nice to see. I will definitely use them again at our next company party, hands down! Thanks for a great night JumpStart!!

From start of the planning process to the end of the show, jumpstart was amazing! Made our wedding the best party ever. A little more expensive than some of our other options, but worth every penny and then some!

We booked JumpStart for my daughter's wedding at Edgewood, Lake Tahoe and from the outset their manager Stan was responsive to all my contacts. To say that this band's performance was sensational is an understatement. From beginning to end the dance floor was packed. Their selection of songs, playing and vocals blew everyone away and they involved our guests by having them on stage dancing and playing tambourines with them. I am still getting emails from our guests telling me how great this band and the music was. Their energy is phenomenal. I would recommend JumpStart to anyone looking for a sensational band. Professional, talented and easy to work with. Vicki J.

Jumpstart was absolutely fantastic and made our wedding unbelievably fun! Our guests could not stop raving about the band the whole night and days afterward. The dance floor was packed all night and many of our guests ended up on stage playing the tambourine and blow-up guitars. The band was very professional and organized. They smoothly incorporated songs from our iphone for some of the special dances and fixed minor technical hiccups during cocktails immediately. We even asked them to learn a new song that wasn't for one of the special dances the week before the wedding and they pulled it off perfectly! It meant a lot to us. We would highly recommend Jumpstart!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 20, 2012•From Stateline, NV
We hosted a wedding at Edgewood Club, South lake Tahoe NV.
We had guests from the California Coast, Mid West and the East Coast.
To a person all our guests said this band was THE BEST they had ever experienced at a wedding venue. The bride and I felt that JUMPSTART could not have been easier to work with. Stan Freeman, Amy and Tiffany were 100% accommodating, friendly, helpful and professional. Our music started a little later than we expected because of the Edgewood Club, but once the band started THEY NEVER STOPPED for 2-3 hours. From the very first song the dance floor stayed packed. Everyone had a blast including the band members. We could not have been happier

As the GM of a pvt country club for 30 years I have booked many bands and this band is one of the best I have had. They are not only very talented but very engaging to the guests! I will be booking them here again!!!!!!

Simply awesome. Easy to work with, accomodating, great energy and talent, and music selection was on the money. The only other thing we can say is - were we to hire a band in the future for this type of event, Jumpstart is the only choice. Everyone at the party (100+) raved about them.

Wow...Jumpstart really delivered!! They were exactly what our convention needed. I can't tell you how many members complimented me on their perfomance. They kept the audience involved and dancing the whole night. Jumpstart also did a great job connecting with our 1960's theme. Every band member was dressed in costume which added to the overall effect. I was also very impressed with the talent all the members brought to the stage. Many of the cover songs they did rivaled the originals. I would definately recommend Jumpstart for any event.

We hired JumpStart for our wedding. I can't count how many people came up to me, including other wedding staff, and asked me where I found this awesome band. Many people also told me that it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and I honestly attribute most of that to JumpStart and their high level of energy and ability to pick the right song at the right time. The dance floor honestly stayed packed from start to finish. We will definately hire them again for our next party or event! Thanks again Stan and the rest of the group. You guys ROCK!

I can't thank the band enough for not only being professional and easy to work with, but amazing performers! I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to everyone! If you want everyone at your event to have fun, hire JumpStart!

Jumpstart was awesome and they really made the whole reception! They are truly great performers and extemely talented. They had such a great mix of music (something for all ages) and everyone told me how much fun they had dancing. Almost the entire wedding was on the dance floor which include my 85 year old great aunt :) Thank you so much!

JumpStart was amazing at my wedding. Their attention to all our little details really made our party special, not to mention that all their individual talent is amazing! Their new female vocalist has an amazing voice. I was so lucky to be able to hire them! With their blow up plastic guitars for the audience, incorporating my guests, and keeping the party going...we had so much fun. Thank you thank you thank you! We didn't have to worry about a thing, such professionals!

The band was great and a lot of fun. The families enjoyed the music and kids got up to dance, play the blow-up guitars, and join the band on stage. Jumpstart was easy to work with, showed up on time, were professional and provided a great sound system, lighting, playlist and fun evening for all.

Private Party•Reviewed on April 27, 2010•From Reno, NV
Jumpstart completely exceeded my expectations. The songs they play keep people dancing and they interact with the crowd including them on stage. I had nothing but positive feedback from my guests and I would hire Jumpstart for any event. From the minute I started the process until the end of my event it was seamless. The best cover band out there and I will use them again without even looking further.

Jumpstart completely rocked my wedding reception. Stan was the emcee during the reception and he was absolutely amazing, he had the crowd engaged and laughing the entire time. The band was able to go with the flow so well, and had the dance floor packed by the end of the night. They did an amazing job, they were definitely worth the money. Book them, I promise you won't be sorry.

5 O'Clock Charlie was simply amazing! This was the first time I have ever booked a band and was a little nervous about doing so over the internet. My fears were quckly reduced by this bands professionalism and then when their wonderful music started. They kept our quests on their feet dancing the entire night and helped to make our fundraiser a huge success. I received so many positive comments from other committee members that I do not hesitate to recommend them for any event. We will definately use them again next year. Loved the music!

They were totally awesome! Our friends were so impressed and we received so many compliments about the band. Most importantly though, they helped us have a great time (the highlight was seeing my husband stage-dive). The kids enjoyed the being part of the performance. They also learned two song requests of ours perfectly for our wedding.

Convention•Reviewed on October 3, 2007•From Reno, NV
I hired this band because my conference attendees were looking for a band that could do all sorts of music, but mostly 70's classic rock. Everywhere I read great reviews about 5 O'Clock Charlie and I agree with all of those reviews. This band has amazing vocal talent and they were a pleasure to work with. I would recommend this band to anyone looking for a great classic rock band.
