“Having seen Paul and his bands many times over the past few years, and hiring them [on] a variety of occasions, I knew they would be the absolute best choice for our 25th anniversary celebration – that they would bring more than just great music to our event. They were incredible and I am still receiving compliments weeks later! Paul met with me beforehand to review set-up and overall expectations and delivered exactly as planned by curating a set list. That eased folks into the party early on and built to a crescendo of upbeat, danceable, celebratory selections – a perfect compliment to our event, attended by hundreds of guests,  friends and family. Paul is much more than the leader of a group of talented musicians. He is a good-times consultant, an entertainer, and a true master of ceremony that brings incredible heart and soul to his craft and his customers each and every time.”

“My husband and I first saw Hal Holiday play about 4 years ago randomly while out for my birthday. I knew right away that I wanted them to play at our wedding. We got their contact info before checking out a few other recommended bands, but there was no comparison. Their energy and wide song selection had our guests dancing all night. One of my favorite things about them was their ability to cover such a wide variety of songs with both male and a female vocalist. Our friends and family still rave about our wedding to this day and I know it’s because Hal Holiday kept them on that dance floor all night long. The band was more than accommodating in each of our meetings and took care of any request we had. If you’re looking for a band with great sound, song selection and energy, this is the band for you! We can’t rave about them enough!”

“For the six years that my club was open, it was always a pleasure to have [Hal and his] band there to entertain us. Always professional, and so entertaining. Out of the many bands that passed through the club, [his] always packed the place and brought in such a wide variety of clientele. [They] were always early and knew when and when not to take breaks, so that [they] wouldn’t lose the crowd. The feedback from my customers was always that you guys were top notch and that is why you played so many New Year’s Eve shows for me. Thanks again for the many memories and the good times.”

“Summer is here and it wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t get my tickets to the Hal Holiday & The Tones annual boat cruise. Such a fun time listening to such a fun, enthusiastic, get-you-in-a-great-mood band. Paul, the lead singer gets the crowd going, singing, and dancing. Singing songs old and new…the crowd sings just as loud. I also love his interaction with the crowd, probably one of the best bands in the Merrimack Valley. I don’t get out much, but when I do, I make it a point to see Hal Holiday and The Tones. Always a FUN time. Oh, I forgot to mention what a great voice that Jenn in the band has. They both sound great together. Looking forward to my cruise. Thanks, Hal Holiday!”

“Here’s what I’ll tell you about The Hal Holiday Band. They always put on a great show for a packed house because that’s who they are and what they do. Their fan base is loyal and large. The song selection is also broad and fantastic. This is a truly solid group of talented individuals that never disappoints!”
