They’ve played for President Barack Obama’s Inaugural. They have performed for Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. They have played for the President of Nigeria and political figures and celebrities from around the globe. They have played for Eli Manning’s wedding, Ted Turner and Julius Erving. They have played for President Donald Trump’s New Year’s Eve Party for the past thirteen years…and now the Number One Party Band in the Nation is back again to play for the twelfth time at your Kingsport Chamber Annual Dinner!
Voted the Nation’s Number One Corporate and Private Party Band, Party on the Moon custom tailors music, choreography, state-of-the-art production and entertainment to spectacular specifications.

The band’s non-stop, high-energy performances always leave audiences craving for more. Party on the Moon was such a huge hit that President Donald Trump requested the band return again for the thirteenth consecutive year to perform a five-hour show at his personal New Year’s Eve party at Mar-A-Lago. “The band (Party on the Moon) is spectacular,” Trump said. “This is the best New Year’s Eve we have ever had at Mar-A-Lago.”
The HalfMoon TRIO features Mark, Big Papa and Tyrone, (drums, piano and bass), with a repertoire spanning almost every genre of music.

The band has performed with some of the best, including Journey, Prince, James Brown, Huey Lewis, Three Dog Night, The O’Jays, Peabo Bryson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Temptations and Bob Seger.
