Whether you're booking wedding bands, corporate entertainment, birthday party music, or festival headliners, we’ve got you covered. Meet the Heart Behind Party Bands
Party Bands was founded by Candido Bretto, a seasoned Boston-based bass guitarist with a deep passion for live music. With a career spanning decades, Candido has had the honor of sharing the stage with legendary Grammy winners like B
arry Goudreau and Sib Hashian of Boston, Kenny Loggins, Brad Paisley, and Danny Seraphine (Chicago), as well as industry icons Maurice Starr (NKOTB and New Edition), Mike Stone (Queensrÿche), Trez Gregory (Brooks & Dunn), and Michael Goods (Aaron Neville), among many others.

Today, his books continue to inspire young readers with themes of friendship, inclusivity, and imagination.
