Anthony R
Best entertainment group in AZ!!! Definitely a must book group for any occasion
Romanica A
Great show! People Who Could Fly were awesome at our event! They performed at our hotel for 140 people and everyone had a great time!
Jennifer G
James was professional from the very first inquiry. He was highly responsive, listened to our needs and customized a playlist for our event. On the day of the event he arrived on time, set up and broke down without any disruption. We hired him as an individual, but I have a feeling he is awesome with the full band too!

Press Highlights
AZ Republic, July 2017
“Musically, the EP finds the trio moving in more of a synth-driven, dance-pop direction, leading to highlights as ripe for getting bodies on the dance floor as "Fire in Your Eyes," where theopening line is "shaking allthe walls just to feel the beat,"and "Something to Believe In," where the synth work appears to bechanneling New Order in their prime.”
AZ Central, March 2017
“Pot of Gold returns to Rawhide Events Center for two days... Saturday’s bill is focused more on punk, alternative, and pop with Flogging Molly, Death Cab for Cutie, Fitz and the Tantrums, NOFX, Less Than Jake, X Ambassadors, Katchafire, Wolf Parade and more. The reason it's included here, though, is because there's a third stage devoted to locals...Saturday brings People Who Could Fly...”
Phoenix New Times, November 2016
“There is a growing movement of radio-ready pop that seems to be happening all over town for the first time in a long time. People Who Could Fly are clearly a part of this burgeoning faction in our music scene, and they may well be one of the finest in that department...This is a sound that concentrates on hooky melodies, a lovely smooth vocal, a fantastic rhythm section, and a lot of pure-pop aesthetics.”

Frequently Asked Questions:
We take great care to keep volume at an appropriate level for your guests. Our drummer plays with "rods", which are much quieter than traditional sticks. All of our instruments are run directly through our sound system so we can adjust to any volume you like with a simple turn of a knob! Whether you want a rockin' dance party experience or a mellow, chilled-out vibe we will accomodate.
