At a Glance

Flipside is such a successful band, possibly because they are lead onstage by one of the owners of Murray Hill Talent who works closely with client to pre- plan each event and fine tune the details. Time after time, we hear that this extra level of attention makes the event more special and personalized. Read the reviews, see what past clients have to say about this band. They are masters of all styles of music: they can rock, they can swing, they can lay down the funk- and all with authenticity and serious intensity. Members of Flipside have performed throughout the world with such high profile artists as Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Rihanna, Rick James, Britney Spears, Lauryn Hill,  the Wu Tang Clan, Jimmy Cliff, Brian McKnight, Maceo Parker, T-Bone Burnett, and  Roberta Flack.

Oh. My. God. What an amazing day it was! We had such a fabulous time and I wanted to thank you and the band for making our special day so fantastic.

I knew you were the perfect band for us. Hope to see you again soon!

Sarah and Derek Macinanti, 8/11/12 wedding at Belle Mer, Newport, RI

We can't thank you guys enough for being so incredible at our wedding. Working in the music business myself we had set our expectations extremely high and i'm so happy to say you far exceeded them and were great to work with. I can't tell you how many guests came up to us after the party and said you are the best band they have ever seen at a wedding! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve & Melissa Bilchik, 7/14/12 wedding at The Inn on Peaks Island, Portland, ME

AMAZING TIME! Amazing playlist! The crowd didn't leave the dancefloor (and neither did the bride!) Between our first dance ("Whatever it is") to American Girl, to the dance with my dad ("My Little Girl") - you had it all down to a science. By far the best choice we made, and will remain as a night to remember! We want a re-do!!
Micki & Jeff Maher, 7/13/12 wedding at Regatta Place, Newport, RI

Corin and Flipside went above and beyond to make our wedding fabulous - not only did they completely rock our fist dance - they blew the roof off! Our guests have talked about them for weeks and I wish we could do it all again! Thank You!!.
Mindy & Drew Katz, 6/2/12 wedding at Alden Castle, Brookline, MA

Shannon McCormick, 10/8/11 wedding, Wentworth By The Sea, Newcastle, NH

I've been so busy this week starting school I haven't had time to properly thank you for the AMAZING job Flipside did at our wedding. You guys made the party! We heard over and over again how you were the best wedding band people had ever heard (including 3 professional musicians)! Thank you for indulging my husband, father, and friend Dennis by allowing them onstage as well. You had such an impact on making our wedding amazing!!!!!! Sarabeth Wagner, 9/3/11 wedding, Nonantum Inn, Kennebunkport, ME

Corin & the rest of the incredible band, we can't thank you enough for all you did to make our wedding so incredibly special - All of the personal touches; sit downs to review iPods & music we love, to absolutely reading the room perfectly & knowing which way to take the party - ALL SPECTACULAR, and we're happy to refer you to all of our friends - you guys rocked it every step along the way and we were so lucky to have you with us on our wedding day!!
Janel & Peter McArdle, 5/14/11 wedding, Wequassett Inn, Chatham, MA

I do not even know where to begin with this. Thank you so much from the very bottom of our hearts. You guys truly rocked and we’re convinced that you made the wedding and that Flipside, “our band,” will be the topic of conversation & recommendation for years to come. You seriously kept people smiling, dancing, and most importantly on the dance floor, ALL NIGHT LONG. Thank you for learning our special songs. It meant a lot to us, and our parents as well. Finally, thank you for cooperating & working so seamlessly with the Greek band. I think the breaks & transitions were perfect. If we made any single decision right, without any question it would be choosing you. Thank you for making our wedding a dream come true. We will be sure that all our friends choose.consider you for their weddings if for no other reason than us being able to hear you rock out again! Alex & Lindsay Chryssis, 10/9/10 wedding, Fairmont Copley Plaza, Boston

It was great working with Corin, and the band overall was awesome! He had helpful suggestions for the timeline of the evening. Everyone at the wedding had a blast. Thank you! Eliza & Matt Cutrell, 9/4/10 wedding, Marion, MA

The band was universally praised by our guests and we continue to get positive feedback. Not only did they sound incredible and keep everyone on the dance floor they were also extremely responsive and professional in preparation for the big day. We would be delighted to serve as a reference for anyone considering Flipside or Murray Hill. A special thanks to Corin for taking the lead and answering all of our questions/concerns leading up to the event - always helpful and responsive with a great can-do attitude. Ben & Marisa Tuttman, 8/21/10 wedding, Boston Public Library

Everyone when planning a wedding stresses about all of the little things like place cards & flowers. In the end, there is only one thing that matters or anyone cares about...the band. Flipside is the best band that you could possibly have. No one comes close. We had 250 people at our wedding and at one point I counted 20 people not on the dance floor. It was an unforgettable night and most of it is due to Corin and the band. Brendan & Elizabeth Walsh, 5/29/10 wedding, Ocean Edge, Brewster, MA

Flipside is the only band to book for a celebration, period. Corin and the other band members were absolutely amazing. All of our guests cannot stop talking about them and how they really made the night. We cannot thank Flipside enough for everything!! You Guys Rock!! Naomi & Kyle Cleary, 5/28/10 wedding, New York, NY

We just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for making our wedding so wonderful. You guys were unbelievable! Please pass along our sincere thanks to the members. You guys were better than we ever could have imagined and we are still hearing that you are the best band anyone has heard at a wedding. Thank you again for everything! Amy Scofield & Tim Griffin, 5/22/10 wedding, Rosecliff Mansion, Newport, MA

Our wedding reception was perfect and the band was at the center of it all. The pacing/sequence of the reception was exactly what we wanted because the band effectively followed the rough plan we laid out. They also turned the place into the greatest dance party in the history of time. Thank you Corin & Flipside! Our families and guests will be talking about our wedding band for years to come. Thanks for an unbelievable night! Stephanie & Danny Silver, 5/15/10 wedding, Granite Rose, Hampstead NH

Out of control amazing!! We continue to receive compliments about the band. Corin was awesome to work with & we can’t thank Flipside enough. They were the absolute BEST! Denise & Brian McGinnis, 4/3/10 wedding, Harrington Farm, Princeton, MA

Thank you so much for your absolutely amazing performance at our wedding! We had a blast and the dancefloor was packed all night!! You really set the tone for an exuberant and joyous celebration. All of the guests from young to older were dancing and it was such a room full of love thanks to your incredible talent. That sax solo during “At Last” was transcendent!! Liz & Pablo Arredando, 9/26/09 wedding, Epicenter, Boston

We're sitting here in hawaii and Kara and I can't stop talking about how unbelievable Flipside was at our wedding. Having a great band that would get everyone dancing was so important to us and you guys blew us away. Kara can't stop talking about how great you were on Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I can't thank you enough for you professionalism but more importantly, your amazing performance. You guys were the highlight of the weekend (other than actually getting married of course!)We will never forget Flipside and will recommend you to anyone looking for a great band. Kara Sullivan & Jamie Harris, 9/19/009 wedding, Wychmere Harbor, Harwichport, MA

Flipside was absolutely amazing! The dance floor was packed the entire night. I honestly don’t think I left the dance floor once! Each song was better than the last. Everytime I see any of our wedding guests, they rave about the band! Also, Corin was so great to work with and having him DJ for an hour after the band was perfect. He played all the perfect songs! Flipside and Murray Hill exceeded my expectations and I will recommend them to everyone! Caitlin & Mike Golden, 9/12/09 wedding, Boston Harbor Hotel

You were terrific! Thank you so much for making our wedding an absolute blast. From the first dance song with the curtain opening to the last , you had all our guests on the dance floor. And Everyone complimented us on the band - so thank you! I will definitely be recommending Flipside to all my brides! I hope we get to see you guys perform again soon! Lara & Jon Mercer, 8/29/09 wedding, Boston Opera House

I never got a chance to say good bye to you on Friday or Thank you. Flipside did such an amazing job. I can't thank you enough. Everyone absolutely loved you guys. The music was totally perfect. We were so happy you were able to play all the songs we requested. It was the most perfect night ever and we have you guys to thank for that. I can't tell you how many people have told us that you are the best wedding band they have ever heard. I would recommend you to anyone a thousand times over. You really made one of the most important days of our lives a memory that we will never forget. Jen Caroll & Ian Chisolm, 8/21/09 wedding, Lake View Pavilion, Foxboro, MA

Every single one of our guests commented on how great Flipside was. They really made the event. Flipside is more expensive than other wedding bands we considered, and they were absolutely worth every penny. We’ve had friends comment that they would love to throw a party, just so Flipside could perform. Jessica & Santino Carnevale, 8/15/09 wedding, The Commons, Topsfield, MA

Corin and the rest of Flipside were absolutely amazing, from the first time I spoke to Corin to the final song. He was a pleasure to work with and rocked the tent! My guests were so excited with the music, they danced before dinner was served until the end of the night, begging for ‘One More Song!’ Jamie & Michael Coppens, 8/8/09 wedding, Nonantum Resort, Kennebunkport, ME

We hired Flipside for our daughter’s wedding a couple of weeks ago on Cape Cod. The experience was superb from beginning to end. Both Emma, my daughter, and I found Corin to be very responsive, helpful, and musically broadminded. While my husband and I are huge fans of the Motown and seventies R&B music found on much of Flipside’s playlist., Emma and her fiancé have definite musical tastes that range from James Brown to Neil Young, REM, Lil Wayne, and alternative indie rock, and they also were thrilled with the tunes that Corin and the band crafted seamlessly into their sets. Our guests filled the dance floor from the very beginning and didn’t stop until the final song. Actually, they didn’t stop dancing then, so we had the band play for another hour. The instrumentals and vocals were perfectly matched, and the band members were both friendly and very professional. We highly recommend Flipside.
