These guys are the best! The only day in September that it rained we had an outdoor reception. They had no problem moving all their stuff into the carport and playing. Our reception turned out fabulous and they kept the party going all night long! We had so many guest ask us for their contact info. In fact all of us are trying to come up with a reason to have them back! I cant even think of the words to describe just how wonderful, fun, and professional they are! We love The Rupert Duncan Band and highly recommend them for any event!!

The entire band was very accommodating to our needs, adjusting to last minute changes in performance times and allowing us to use their microphones for other entertainers during our annual Base Picnic and Day for Kids event. Although primarily country music was played, their abilities transferred to some 70's and 80's music as well. We will definitely book them in the future for our base-wide events entertainment. Thank you for a job well done.

They were great! We had guests that ranged in age from 4years old to 70+ and everyone enjoyed the music!

The Rupert Duncan Band was fantastic! From first contact to the end of the party they were accomodating, professional, entertaining and really tons of fun. We were suprised at their strong vocals and willingness to take requests outside their wide range of Country songs. We will be hiring them again at least once a year for our annual party and would recommend them to anyone. We were uneasy hiring a band from the interenet... What a wonderful suprise! It was a very sucessful night. We requested they stay and enjoy themselves, nobody wanted to see them leave (including my 83 year old mother which they sang a special song. Hire them, you will not be disappointed!!!

Hello and welcome to Rupert Duncan's Sonicbids profile. Here You can see live performance video as well as hear songs new songs written and recorded by Rupert Duncan and band.
If you like Country Music mixed with a little Rock & Roll. Then you will love this band . Everywhere we play... the dance floor is always full of excited people having fun !! If you want to get your crowd dancing, then you need this band. While we are a country band , we're also known for performing some great rock & roll, southern rock, oldies, and even a blues song or two (all great dance music !) .
You really never know what we'll play next depending on the crowd. We mix up the music to offer something for other people who may not want to hear just country music. HOWEVER, if your show calls for all country music and nothing else,, Then we are more than willing to accommodate your request. We have professional equipment and over 5o years of music experience between us. No event is too big or too small. We just want to perform for people who enjoy great live entertainment. But we're also used to entertaining large crowds as we have hosted many major events over the past few years. If the people are not dancing and having a good time, then we are not doing our job plain and simple! This is the ultimate party band for any occasion.
About Rupert,
Recently received finalist honors in the (VH1- Save The Music) Song of The Year Songwriting Contest. The song is called "Don't You Love Me Anymore"!
Recorded two songs in Nashville, Tennessee for AMI Records. One of these songs called "Take Me Drunk" reached No. 10 on the country indie charts. It can be heard at www.rupertduncan.com on the music page .
I am very proud of the two originals " Country Song ( Its Got To Be Country)" & "Hugs And Kisses". These two songs were produced by "Mr. Ronnie Montrose", yes thats right, from the rock band "Montrose". Ronnie is the person who discovered " Sammy Hagar" ! Ronnie likes many types of music when it come from the heart as does this music !
Aside from our cover songs.... we also have some great originals that we throw into the mix. Its great when people come up and say " Who sings that song?" Thats When I just light up with a huge smile and say " We do" ! Our original music has a lot of rock flavor since we all grew up on rock & roll also. But thats what people love about us. We play just about anything to keep em' on the floor !
We just love to perform for people who love great professional live entertainment.
Just read this feedback listed below from people who have hired us to play numerous weddings and parties !
FEEDBACK FROM OUR PERFORMANCES !
The Rupert Duncan Band did a phenomenal job playing at my church fundraiser. Rupert was extremely pleasant and cooperative during our phone conversations. The band was on time for their set up and started playing on time. The Rupert Duncan Band went out of their way throughout the evening to be flexible with our schedule and played great music which helped make our event a big success. I highly recommend the Rupert Duncan Band to anyone who is looking for a top notch country band. -- Dave D, Carmichael, CA,
Great! We had so much fun and really enjoyed these guys! -- Tavia S, Pilot Hill, CA,
The Rupert Duncan Band was fantastic! Thanks for doing everything that you promised. Your musicianship was superb and the crowd had a wonderful time! -- Riki D, Woodside, CA,
Miles and Rose's wedding on Saturday night could not have been more perfect. The band was absolutely awesome and a perfect fit for our backyard! A year ago, when we met you, we told you that what we really were looking for was a band that would get people dancing. You definitely accomplished that and had both sides, including the Persians, all dancing! From the very first song, everyone was up and dancing until midnight when the sherriff shut us down. When I came out to tell Mles and Rose that their limo had arrived, they chose not to leave until the band stopped! I can't remember ever being to a wedding where so many people crowded the dance floor. You were easy to work with and great fun! When my three kids (later joined by Mark) got up to join you in their own rendition of "Friends in Low Places", you welcomed them and played along. We had so many people asking about your band and commenting on how talented and fun you all were! We truly couldn't have asked for more, and our other two kids have already said they want to hire you for their weddings!
Thank you so much for helping to make this evening so magical! Sue and Mark Jones-Sacramento, Ca
While searching for a band to play our wedding, we happened upon the Rupert Duncan band on Gigmasters. After seeing them at a local tavern, we were so impressed with their sound and the talent of the band's members that we decided to book them without listening to any other bands. The arrangements for our wedding were very easy to make,
