Read what our customers have to say about the band.

THIS BAND IS THE REAL THING! We hired Johnny Diamond and the Silver Hubcap Band for a 50's 50-year-old party. They worked with me on every detail of the event. They put on a great, high-energy show that gave an authentic feel to the 50's environment. I could not have asked for a more pleasant band to work with. Even in the very hot month of July, they carried on as if the heat didn't bother them. Never a complaint. I highly recommend them and I'm not one to give 5 stars easily. These guys earned it. They can play more than 50's music also. All well done. If you want the REAL THING, hire Johnny Diamond and the Silver Hubcap Band! Great job, guys! - Tony T

Of all the bids I received from Gigmasters, Johnny Diamond's band was the only one from whom I got an actual phone call and introduced his band. This was a great selling point to me . . . very professional and personal. The performance was INCREDIBLE! My guests were just so pumped up with excitement! Johnny and his band really knows how to put on a show! Two Thumbs Up if I were Roger and Ebert and Michelin stars for an awesome performance! I couldn't ask for a better live band to have performed at my husband's surprise 50th Birthday party. Thanks to Nick Sr. and Jr. and the rest of the Silver Hubcap crew. - Estela H., Highland Village, TX

Our fiftieth class reunion was full of memories and memorable music to pull it all together. The band did a super job in accommodating our needs, and in putting the finishing touch on an exquisite evening. - Maryjane W

Johnny was very accommodating to our needs and requests, and the band even learned a new song for our first dance. If you want a fun time with dancing and golden oldies, this is your band! - Marti C

I plan events all year long and this band was any planner's ideal entertainment group to work with! They were quick on communication back and forth, customized their playlist to our needs and best of all were on time, in costume and ready to go right when the event kicked off. Not only that, the band leader made a special trip out to the venue and walked through where his team would set up, when they should arrive, etc...a logistical planners dream! So happy I chose Johnny Diamond & The Silver Hubcap Band, I would recommend them to all my friends and colleagues in the event planning business! - Rebecca C.
