Fantasy

Artist ID: 14265

Take 5 dedicated musicians, add Beach, the hot sounds of Motown, and the smoothed out R&B, mix it with breath taking vocals and a groove that's all their own, and you have the band known as "Fantasy".

Fantasy has performed all over the world for venues such as Japan, Korea, Hawaii, Carnival Cruise Lines, Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Gov. Bev Perdue's Inaugural Ball, Senator John Edwards Birthday Bash and Carolina Hurricane's Stanley Cup Ball...just to name a few. The band just finished recording a brand new Beach single titled "Don't Go" that was be released in March 2010.

If you are looking for a high energy show band that will keep your audience on their feet then Fantasy is the one!

Hi Ted - Fantasy was great! They were right on time and navigated the logistics of transporting all of their equipment on the ferry and tram to Bald Head Island perfectly. The wedding guests were shouting "Encore, Encore!!" at the end of the evening and unfortunately they had to respond with "Ferry, Ferry". They kept the energy of the party going, were very interactive with the group and followed the flow of the evening established by the event planner really well.

I'd highly recommend them. Would you kindly send me their e-mail address so that we can send them a thank you. Regards,

SPECTACULAR. They could NOT have been better, more fun or more accommdating, including with some morning-of-the-wedding special requests. Guests of all ages have called to ask who they were and how they can get them! Well done. Loved them. THANKS SO MUCH. Count me satisfied.

Doug they were awesome and Steve is so easy to work with. We had a major problem with the electrical outlets at Carolina Park( and with many other things about the location) and Steve is the only reason I did not blow a gasket with the manager etc of the facility . They were only able to use maybe a third of what they brought because of the facility but once they started playing it was nothing but pure entertainment- phenomenal job at getting the crowd involved- the boys in this class are let's just say still a little awkward in social settings and the band really helped coax them through it- loved their music for this type event because it promotes lots of dancing in groups and limits the "grinding" that they do to what the kids would normally listen to... I told them when Matty gets married- hopefully a while from now- I would definitely try to track them back down for the reception....

Hi Barry, The band was fantastic and I believe we are going to book them again for next year I need to meet with the board to figure out date and then I'll be in touch I can tell you it will be a Friday night either the Friday before mothers day weekend or the Friday of mothers day weekend. Can you give me a quote. Thanks!:)

Hey JR. That fantasy band is THE best!! Absolutely unbelievable performance by Steve and the guys. Need live action pictures, we have plenty. Fantasy Band-NOT recommended for quiet weddings and boring people. Not one guest sitting down during the last set!!! Regards,

Fantasy Band was great! We talked to Steve a few weeks before the wedding, and he was so helpful! We were completely pleased with their performance, and all of our guests really enjoyed them! Thanks for all your help, and please pass along our compliments to the band!

Ellie: Fantasy was absolutely the best!!!!. These guys were so personable and really are down to earth people. They know how to relate to everyone and get people involved to have a good time. The very first song they played, my 2 yr old niece was on the dance floor and Steve walked out with his guitar and played and danced with her - very special. We had a wonderful evening and thanks to Fantasy, it will be one we will always remember! Stay in touch. Regards, Dan Stubbs

Fantasy was great! I have never seen that many people dance at Balsam. I received LOTS of positive feedback from our members

We thoroughly enjoyed Fantasy. they played all the right music, the crowd had a good time with them. They were both reliable and responsible. I appreciated their efforts to keep in touch with me and arriving early to set up. It was very important for us to find a the right fit for our crowd. It was a black tie gala with a younger crowd and later included a more "mature" audience. Everyone complimented the bands talent and we would use them again.

Graham, Fantasy was great. They were a lot of fun and everyone had a good time. Appreciate you working with me on short notice and we will be in touch about future dates. Once again thanks.

Our convention ended Sunday morning, to rave reviews your band was a major contributor to our success! Your most talented band was the perfect entertainment to our Saturday night President's Reception and Dinner. Thank you for helping us make this convention a memorable event for each of our guests.

Hello, My name is Joe Mirco and I am writing this e-mail to inform you of how very pleased we were to have had the band "Fantasy" play at my daughter Joelle's wedding over the Memorial Day weekend. The band members we professional in every respect and their music "lit up" the event. They played with so much energy that it poured from the bandstand all over our guests causing them to dance, dance, dance the night away. I have attended many weddings and events where the musicians were capable however they did not engage the audience. This was NOT the case with "Fantasy"! Steve and his crew made our event very special. I received many compliments from our guests on the band's behalf regarding how wonderful they played and how much fun they were. Many thanks to the very talented band for playing with such vitality, soul and, when appropriate, humor! - Sincerely,
Joe Mirco Palatine, IL
