The Heroes Band

We were married on September 5, 2015. Our families and friends are still raving about how fantastic The Heroes were! Not only did they energize our reception into an all-​night dance party with their amazing musical talents, but they also served as emcees for announcing our first dance, toasts, cake-​cutting, etc. Bandleader Tom was such a pleasure to work with, and the band’s performance was nothing short of awesome! They played every genre from golden oldies to modern funk, keeping our guests actively engaged in sing-​alongs, air guitar, and a conga line that had everyone on their feet. Our guests, ages 3 to 60+, all had a blast, thanks to The Heroes! If you want to ensure a gold-​star event, we highly recommend booking The Heroes!

The Heroes played at my wedding on July 5, 2015. After attending a wedding where they played 2 years ago, they became our biggest priority for our wedding and we booked them immediately. Tom, their manager/​drummer, worked with us throughout the year and was just wonderful. He was so professional throughout and very responsive to calls and emails. Our venue was really strict about approving the band/​noise ordinances, and Tom really went out of his way to talk with them, meet with them, and assure them they would meet their standards. After our wedding, the manager of the venue raved about how wonderful they were to work with and said they can play there anytime (mind you, this venue initially said «no» to a new band).
The Heroes made our wedding so much fun. They have a HUGE playlist with hundreds of songs from pretty much any genre you can think of, and told us to pick as many songs as we wanted, the more the better (I think we selected around 100). They were happy to learn a new song for my husband’s first dance with his mom. They are incredible musicians and great MC’s! They know how to read a crowd and kept the vibe and dance floor going. They even went around and interacted with guests, including pulling some of us on stage with tambourines during Dancing Queen, which everyone loved. Our guests raved about them all night and I have nothing but wonderful memories from them at our wedding. I highly, highly recommend The Heroes! I know bands are more than DJs, but this was totally worth it, even if you have to move around your budget a little (for example, we did our own flowers and allocated the extra $ to the band and this was WELL worth it!).

Just coming down to earth from my daughter’s wedding and cannot justify not taking the time to give a shout out to this group. They were beyond fantastic and seemed not only capable but expert in playing just about any genre. The playlist supplied to them was all across the board and there were never any questions as to whether they could play it or not.
I have worked with bands in the past and told than many of our selections could not be played. Not the case with this group. Not only did they play everything but did so in such a way that each song was every good or better than the original. I was a little concerned about their ability to carry off Hora music. No need for concern, their enunciation was perfect and the variety was good as well — not just one song over and over.
I cannot say enough about this phenomenal group other than BOOK THEM and you will not be sorry.
They also did not take over the function by being too loud or obnoxious. They knew when to play at a background level and unlike many functions I have attended everybody was able to engage in conversation without having to yell. Perfect balance by a perfect Wedding Band.
Thanks so much to the Heroes — you are truly my hero’s.

The Heroes rock! They provided the music for our son’s wedding a month ago and, as they did 10 years ago for our daughter’s wedding, they MADE the event. I’ve never seen another band read a crowd and keep everyone dancing like The Heroes.
Specifics:
* SO EASY TO WORK WITH. Band leader Tom Boyd is easy to communicate with and interested in your input. He makes it clear every step of the way that their goal is to provide you with a great party… and do they deliver!
* EXCEPTIONAL TALENT. Every person in their seven member band is fabulous. It’s not often that you get saxophone, flute, killer guitar, keyboard, drums and awesome vocals from every member in the band. No one stands around simply playing their instrument. They are high energy and highly involved. Their song list is extensive, they are up to speed with current hits, and they know how to mix it up – not very many bands can keep young and old folks dancing together all night long. (Note: Their guitarist, Hank Easton, provided the instrumental music for the wedding ceremony and Mark Moorhead (Keyboard) and Art Fischer (Saxophone and Flute) played during the cocktail hour. Great decisions!)
* UNIQUE TIMELINE. The timeline Tom proposes gets you up for a brief dance set before you’ve even had your salad, letting people know it’s going to be a party from the get go… super fun! They understand the importance of keeping on schedule and work seamlessly with your wedding planner and/​or catering staff to keep it moving. Several friends have used our timeline for their own kids’ weddings.
It’s certainly more economical to contract with a DJ over a band for a wedding, but if you want to put on an event to be remembered, bring on The Heroes!

The Heroes are the definition of pro musicianship. I handle all the band booking and entertainment at Valley View Casino & Hotel and the Heroes have been in my monthly rotation since day 1. They get a dance floor going every time and have attracted a loyal following. Their song list is huge and can play tunes ranging from the Beatles to Journey to Justin Timberlake. I book them as a 7 piece band and ALL 7 of them sing! That’s a rarity with cover bands nowadays. No gimmicky one trick pony in this band.
Tom Boyd, the band leader, is great with communication. I also own a professional DJ biz and have had the pleasure of working with The Heroes at a wedding. I immediately could tell they’ve done hundreds of weddings before. They keep the night flowing and on schedule. They bring a lot of energy to the grand entrances. All their announcements sounded professional, lively and anything but monotonous.
If you’re looking for a high energy dance band to rock your wedding or party I highly recommend booking The Heroes. They are worth it!

I booked The Heroes for my August 2013 wedding and couldn’t be happier that I did.
The music was my #1 priority for the wedding, as I wanted to be sure we’d have a nonstop party on the dance floor, and The Heroes delivered. Tom was wonderful to work with during the planning process – he let me submit a huge list of songs I wanted to hear (whereas other bands I interviewed said that they let their couples suggest only 10 – 15). Everyone has said our band was one of the best they’ve ever seen – not only are they talented musicians and singers, but they really engaged with the crowd and even brought some of our guests up to sing and dance with them. Thank you all for making our day so incredible!

If you only read short reviews: IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A WEDDING BAND DEFINITELY GET «THE HEROES»! They are freaking incredible and do an amazing job. I cannot recommend them enough. They absolutely MADE our wedding reception.
If you like longer reviews:
THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! We were looking for a wedding band and found The Heroes on the internet. We were impressed by the accolades and their song list so we went to see them at Valley View Casino. They were incredible.
You simply cannot do better than The Heroes for a wedding band. From start to finish Tom Boyd (leader, drummer, all-​around awesome human being) helped us ensure our wedding was the best experience for us and our guests. Before the wedding he met with us several times. He helped us with our timeline, song recommendations and anything else we needed. We waited until a couple of days before the wedding to choose our first dance song. Although they didn’t know it, Tom and the band learned it in 1 day and played it flawlessly at our wedding. My wife was so happy!
During the wedding THEY ROCKED IT! They «pied pipered» guests from the cocktail hour into the reception room and we were receiving complements about them before they even went on stage. Once they were on stage… WOAH. They played a «Horah» for the ages! Anytime they were playing people were up dancing. During and after the wedding people kept coming up to us and saying how amazing they were. Everyone wanted to know how we found them and the story behind why we picked them (the short version: Art does an amazing «Baby Got Back»).
I have to go now and want to make sure this gets saved before I leave. You will NOT regret choosing the Heroes. They are unbelievably good and are a guaranteed good time.

This band is spectacular. We had them at our wedding 2 years ago, and they were a crucial piece in making our wedding reception such a success. Everyone absolutely loved them, and we got so many compliments about the band the night of, and following, the wedding. They adhered to exactly what we asked for, such as playing music that would engage all generations. They specifically learned a song for our first dance, and did a fabulous job of it. Most importantly, they kept people on the dance floor all night long! Our wedding went incredibly long and late compared to other weddings, and that is because people didn’t want to leave the dance floor. Anyone and everyone, including people who may not normally hit the dance floor! The Heroes were happy to keep going. Ours was a Jewish wedding, and I told Tom (the bandleader) how the Hora was extremely important to me and I wanted a fun, awesome, long Hora. To this day, people tell me it was the best Hora they have ever seen. Tom also spent time with me prior going over the timeline in detail and did a great job of keeping things running smoothly the day of. I researched other bands before choosing the Heroes, and let me tell you — don’t even waste your time. The Heroes are THE band to have at your wedding!
