Booked Pop Rocks for my wedding and it was the best decision we made. This band is incredible. The energy they emit is contagious and honestly they made our wedding day absolutely perfect. I can't recommend them enough!!! read more

We hired Pop Rocks to play at our annual fundraising gala for 300 guests. We worked with Jay Siegan Presents to book and they were very helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. When it came to the day of, the band was fantastic! They really took the dancing portion of our event to the next level and everyone had a blast! Our gala was by many guests' accounts the "best one we've ever had," both from a fundraising perspective and from an entertainment perspective, and the band really took things to the next level for us. Everyone was on the dance floor enjoying the performers' high energy and great vocals and musical talents. No one wanted the night to end. We are so glad to have had Pop Rocks at our event. They were wonderful! read more

I think the first time I saw Pop Rocks a friend took me to a show a few years ago. I remembered them being lively and fun. Then, a year or so later I saw them again with a group of girlfriends at Bimbo's and I was WOWED by the energy of the band. They must have played every great rock song (and a few raps) and even the songs I wasn't familiar with I was really into beacause of the amazing band. They had a great sound and were obviously having a good time on stage and interacting with the crowd. They weren't just playing songs they were putting on a show. Cut to... just a month ago at my buddy's wedding. Who's the band? That's right. Pop Rocks. I couldn't believe it. Once again, they were amazing and had the whole wedding party on the dance floor (even the parents). If you get the chance see these guys and rock on! read more

Horrible talent. Music and singing equally sucked- saw them in Dubuque Iowa 3/19/22. Good thing it was free - definitely disappointed! They sure pump themselves up in their bio! Simply awful entertainment - left early!! read more

We hired the Pop Rocks for our fully outdoor wedding, and they were everything we hoped for and more. From the start, Jay was so easy to work with to book the Pop Rocks. Once it got closer to our wedding date, we started working with Sarah to figure out all of the logistics. The Pop Rocks have multiple requirements in their contract regarding set up times, electrical requirements, etc. and we were so worried that due to the logistics of our venue, we wouldn't be able to meet all of the requirements. After a lengthy phone call with Sarah, where we discussed what were the best options with our venue offerings, we felt so much better about everything. Sarah was so friendly and patient and it was clear that they would do everything possible to make everything work out, no matter the logistical challenges. One of the things we asked of the Pop Rocks was to have a silent warm-up because our ceremony would be going on during the same time as their set-up. The Pop Rocks handled this like a pro and we didn't hear a peep from them during our ceremony or cocktail hour. They played background music on their sound system during dinner and their lead singer acted as our emcee throughout the reception. The only minor issue we had was when their wireless microphone kept cutting out during speeches, but it was eventually fixed and not a big deal. We also loved that the Pop Rocks were so willing to learn songs for us. We asked them to learn James Arthur's Say You Won't Let Go for our first dance song, and they did so well with it. In terms of the set list, they let us choose 10 songs as well as "do not play" songs/ artists and then they chose the remaining songs. Their song selections were spot on with our guest demographics. our biggest worry was that people wouldn't dance, but with the Pop Rocks, that's never an issue! They even brought their Pop Rocks branded sunglasses for our guests to enjoy on the dance floor. We received endless compliments throughout and after the wedding about how amazing the Pop Rocks were from all of our guests. So many people commented on how it felt like they were getting a private concert at our wedding. The Pop Rocks also performed for 2.5 hours straight without a single break which really kept the energy going on the dance floor. At one point during the night, they even came down off the stage into the crowd and took photos at our Photo Booth. Yes, they're expensive, but absolutely worth every penny! read more

This review is overdue, but I needed about 2 months to come down from the high of our wedding in early February and be able to articulate my thoughts. When my husband and I were thinking about music options for our wedding, we already knew what we wanted for our first dance, and a couple of other important moments. I had about a 45-minute conversation with Jay Siegan, wherein he asked what we were looking for, and a little about us. In summary, our first dance song was going to be Radiohead's Creep, and I wanted to walk down the aisle to Johnny Cash's Walk the Line. The reason we had selected Pop Rocks as a potential band was that their song list included Everlong, so we figured Creep might also be in their wheelhouse. Boy, was it. I'm not 100% sure if they knew it beforehand, but they're willing to learn a song or two for you, and they killed it. Working with everyone, from Jay (who handles the initial booking), to Sarah (who is the details lady), was a dream. They were super responsive, and Jay also made sure to put us on the list when the band was playing nearby, so we could see them in action and wouldn't just have some randos playing our wedding. Brad and the gang rock. They are so nice, and FUN. They obviously love what they do, and it comes through in a major way. For the ceremony, we hired Clay to do background music as people arrived, and also do the music for the ceremony. I can't speak highly enough of his performance. Again, we had some interesting requests (recessional: Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone), and he either learned it or just pulled it out of his repertoire and slayed it in front of 150 people. We have gotten more compliments about the ceremony music, and I agree with all of them! On to the reception. Usually at weddings, there is a song or two that I use as 'bathroom songs,' where it's not really my cup of tea, so I use that time to leave the dance floor and take care of other business. This song list made those times like Sophie's Choice. You are able to request some songs, and also request some NOT to be played, and I had given them a few requests/nonrequests (I don't love Madonna, Chris likes Billy Idol, etc.). Additionally, I remembered a couple of especially awesome moments from their concert we went to (Prince medley is unbelievable). They took my requests, and filled in the blanks expertly. They played Paul Simon. They played Billy Idol. They played the Foo Fighters. Andy Grammer. Toto. The last song(s) of the evening was Blur's Song 2 into Smells Like Teen Spirit. Side note: My husband was really bummed before the wedding that he couldn't find his Slayer socks (yes), and mentioned it to the band later on when he was chatting with them. The drummer pulled up his pants leg, and was wearing the. exact. same. pair. I'm not saying it's kismet, but it felt like they were supposed to be at our wedding. Chris hates dancing (I had to negotiate to have a first dance at all), and he was on the floor the whole time. TL;DR- Book them. They're a dream. read more

We hired Pop Rocks for our wedding at the Olympic Club Lakeside. They put on such a good show that all of our guests stayed until the end. The band covered everything from announcing the speeches during dinner to mixing the songs for the special dances. We provided them only with a short list of do not/must plays and they tailored the rest of set list to our taste. People forgot they were at a wedding, as the band transformed the night into an energetic rock show. Hire these guys if you wanna see even your grandma cut a rug. read more

LOVED having Pop Rocks play our wedding! They learned 2 songs for us - and knocked them out of the park. I loved the ability to pick 10 songs they MUST play and 10 songs NOT to play - and then they would fill in the rest based on the crowd. And they nailed it! Everyone was dancing all night long - which was our goal. My favorite personal touch was that they signed our "guestbook" frame - very memorable! Thanks for making our day extra special and crazy fun! read more

I just threw a wedding with the Pop Rocks as the music/entertainment and I now have a school girl crush on the whole band. They were absolutely fantastic! Sounded great, easy to work with, accommodating (they learned a Metallica song for the head banging groom), and got all the guests (ages mid-20s to mid-60s) on the dance floor. The wedding was just a few days ago and I have already recommended them to 2 other clients. Thanks guys!! read more

Obsessed. The Pop Rocks played our wedding in April, and the day could not have been any better. We couldn't believe how many people danced the entire night, without stop - ourselves included! They are the most awesome, down-to-earth guys, and went out of their way to chill with our guests and put up with our pictures after the reception was long over. (They also humored my bridesmaids, who just couldn't let our wedding happen without the hava nagila.) Thank you, Pop Rocks, for rocking our wedding so hard! Hands-down, best day of our lives. read more

See all

The Pop Rocks were AMAZING!!! We just had them play at our wedding a couple weeks ago, and people are STILL raving about how amazing the band was!! They learned all the songs we asked them to, had an incredible play list to choose from, and were very fun and interactive with the audience. They let some of us on stage with them as well, which was GREAT - not a lot of bands do that! They were a great mix of professional, fun, lively, and engaging - 10000% recommend Pop Rocks if you can get them, they will NOT let you down! Get them in advance, as they book up quickly bc they are in such high demand!! Everyone knows about their great reputation. Such a talented group! read more

We hired Pop Rocks for our wedding reception and I can't say enough amazing things about them. We had seen them several times prior to our wedding- at Red Devil Lounge, etc. Now, I'm not the kind of girl who had anything planned for my wedding, but after even the first time seeing these guys (which was for a company holiday party), we knew that we needed them to play our big day -- we weren't even engaged yet and we both agreed on that fact! So, when wedding planning started all that was known was that we needed Pop Rocks and we'd fit everything else in around them. Luckily, they were so easy to work with and the whole experience exceeded our already high expectations. The groom and I knew early on that we wanted our wedding to be all about the party, and we wanted as much as possible to optimize for fun. The evening was a blast - our friends still keep telling us that it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. From the moment these guys started their set, the dance floor was packed through till the end of the night. We had our wedding at the Presidio Golden Gate Club which has a strict no-noise after 12pm policy due to gov ordinance. Since our wedding got started late (due to a very late rabbi!!), we were bummed knowing that there would be less time for dancing. I don't know how it happened, but Pop Rocks ended up playing almost until 1am - I think they worked out something with the building people to keep playing because they knew how much we wanted to dance and felt bad that everything was shifted back because of the late start. Anyway, I still have no idea how they pulled that off - whether someone asked them to keep playing or they suggested it, but they were such great sports. Not only did they play late, but some of the guys even joined us for a couple beers at our after party. Jay Siegan & co, the guys in the band, their onsite engineer are all so amazing. They are so much fun, so engaged and interactive with you and the guests, play a GREAT mix of old and new school jams (can you say Foreigner?), let you come up and dance and participate. I would recommend them for any wedding or event a thousand times over. Only downside of Pop Rocks is that THEY NEVER PLAY IN SF ANYMORE. Make it happen guys. read more

Pop Rocks played at my daughter's wedding, and they totally hit it out of the park. They have an incredibly long play list so you can put together the songs you like, but give them some creative license as they really know how to keep the energy going. The dance floor was packed from start to finish. They are very talented group of musicians with wonderful voices and you could see how much energy they put into their show. You will not be disappointed to have Pop Rocks at your event. read more

Pop Rocks played at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible!!! I cannot say enough about how awesome they are. Their energy made our wedding 500% more fun and memorable. They are also very polite and friendly - we chatted with them between sets and really appreciate how down to earth they are. Thank you, Pop Rocks, for an unforgettable party! read more

Tons of fun, professional and wonderful to work with! Hands down the best band we have worked with. Our clients wedding this past weekend was enhanced by thy way Pop Rocks interacted and entertained their guests. They had a great number of songs to select from and throughout the planning process they made our job so easy. Thanks guys!! read more

We had our company holiday party last Saturday and we extremely excited to have Pop Rocks as our band for the evening. They came in early to setup and do a thorough sound check, played dinner/background music for the opening portion of our event and then rocked the house for 2.5 hours. The stage presence that the group has together is just overwhelming - so much that almost every person was on the dance floor the entire time. The group has so much charisma, energy and talent that they really were able to grasp our groups attention and get them all into every song (even the ones that not everyone likes)! I am hoping that we can have another event soon -- and that Pop Rocks will be available for it! read more

The guests at our daughter's wedding reception never stopped dancing...from the minute the Pop Rocks started playing to the final song when the dance floor was still jammed. The mix of music (from a really long play list), their glittery suits, their showmanship and most of all their amazing talents as musicians (including a great singer) put them over the top! We wanted a band that would energize the party and they did it while putting on a show that seemed tailor- made to our crowd, mostly the 30-50 year old set. Surprise...even lots of older guests stayed on just because the band was so much fun!! They are tireless, taking only one short break! It was a pleasure to work with Sarah Aldinger, an associate with Jay Siegan Presents, who handled details and worked with the venue to be sure everything went smoothly. The band always makes the party...and the Pop Rocks proved it! read more

What a fun night! We hired Pop Rocks for my husbands 40th Bday party after my husband saw them perform in Tahoe earlier in the year. We continue to get compliments on what a great band they were. They come dressed in awesome outfits and play songs that really get the crowd dancing. The last time I danced that much was at my wedding. What a great night! If you are looking for a band these are your guys (and girl!). They were all very cool people on top of being great musicians too. read more

This band frickin rocks!!! We hired them for our wedding and they were fantastic. They play around the bay area, so we went to see them play in Walnut Creek. They made sure we and our friends got in for free. They were awesome that night and just AMAZING for our wedding. We danced all night!!! Could not leave the dance floor. Our friends are still telling us how much they loved the band. The singing was great. The outfits were fabulous. Interaction with the crowd was above and beyond. My new husband and I got to choose a song to sing with them which was just so fun. Their song list is very long - we made a list of suggested songs and also mentioned our ages/demographics of the crowd and they had perfect music all night. We opted for the horns (added expense), which was so worth it. Only negative is that the band liaison was slow to respond unless the producers were on the emails. Week of, she made herself very available, but wish that had been the case while we were trying to prepare. Still giving it 5 stars because we love this band so much. Fans for life! Go to one of their shows and you will be too. read more

I was tasked with pulling together a last minute musical recording and performance for my company's conference. I knew one of the guys from Pop Rocks, so I reached out to Jay Siegan to see if the guys were available and willing to pull together what I was requesting in less than a week's notice. Not only did they commit to the project, but they delivered beyond my expectations. In less than 48 hours, the guys recorded an incredible version of "We Will Rock You" with customized lyrics. We had some edits to the song to go with our presentation and they were beyond accommodating to make sure the song was perfect. Days later, the guys performed the song in front of 4,000 people and brought the house down! I would definitely recommend Pop Rocks for any corporate (or personal!) event. read more
