Feedback

  • We absolutely LOVED Joe andhis band the Winstons. They were very professional and sang the best songs. We will be calling to have the Winstons to our next event. Thank you Joe!!!! -- Glenn P, Franklin, VA, 11/6/2010
  • The Winstons were very entertaining and fantastic. We all loved them. Our Pastor was excited to be able to participate and still talking about this special Anniversary celebration. -- Geneva C, Upper Marlboro, MD, 10/23/2010
  • They made my 50th birthday more special, and exciting then I could of imagined. The Group was just on top of everything, the arrival, set up time keeping my guest entertained up to the last minute. Everyone was mad because the party was at and end. The group leader Joe was on top of his game, very helpful and explained to me any concerns that I may have. I requested two songs and they were performed at the best level. This was my first time ever hiring someone for an event w/out hearing or seeing them perform I went by the recommendations from gigmasters clients and I am so pleased and happy with every thing. -- Inez T, Brandywine, MD, 11/14/2009
  • I contracted the Winstons to play in my home at my after party as part of my retirement celebration.I could not have made a better choice. OMG, they were everything that I hoped for. They not only sang they performed. My guest came to the door booping to the music. They were wonderful and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I would definitely use them again. They are professional, courteous and entertaining. They showed up well ahead of time to get set up and were ready to start jamming when the time came. I have had a number of people inquire about them. I wish them much success and my sincerest thanks to Joe Phillips. Love and Peace to you! vj -- Vanessa J, Baltimore, MD, 11/13/2010
  • The Winston were the best band we have had at our 4th of July celebration in a long, long time. Totally professional in terms of arriving and time and other contract agreements. They set a fun tone from the beginning and had the entire community up and dancing ALL evening. People are calling me already to get contact information. Great great talent (better than the promotional CD). Great, great voices, musicians and horn section. We would consider ourselves lucky to work with them again! Please extend our heartfelt thanks to the Winstons for a wonderful evening. -- Germaine L, Baltimore, MD, 7/5/2008
  • The Winstons Band was absolutely amazing at my Dad’s 75th birthday party. Excellent performance they were extremely professional and very accommodating they had everyone up on the dance floor. At the end of the night everyone was asking for the Winstons number to call them. My cousin from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania wants the Winstons to come and perform for his party. I will most definitely use them for my future parties and highly recommend them!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you… GOD BLESS!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! -- Pameal B, Fort Meade, MD, 12/8/2007
  • The Winstons were an absolute pleasure to work with...I thought they were terrific and my guests were likewise impressed with their music and their lively act. VERY nice people! I dealt with Joe Phillips, and he was really great...flexible, patient, and eager to make sure that my husband's 50th birthday celebration was a BIG success!!! And it was....thanks to The Winstons. -- Lisa K, Washington, DC, 10/20/2007
  • The Winstons were an awesome band. I would recommend them to anyone. They were very professional and had a great party attitude and were very anxious to please. Before the wedding Joe Phillips was very easy to talk to and he was willing to do whatever we requested. I give them an A+++ -- Barbara , Rockville, MD, 10/6/2007
  • I was so pleased with their performance. Joe the manager of the band called me to make sure what the event was and what we needed as far as the performance goes. This was for my family reunion in VA and everyone enjoyed them. I amd trying to get them again for an event in DECEMBER.hahahaha They worked with me on everything. Its just so hard to explain their professionalism but I highly encourage them. Thanks -- Latonya W, Richmond, VA, 8/17/2007
  • The WINSTON's are a class act. My husband and I have received nothing but great comments about their performance. If the opportunity presents itself again next year, we would definetly book them again!!!!! -- Jennifer W, Jessup, MD, 6/30/2007
  • Joe Phillips has a strong stable of musicians in the Winstons. They graciously took all requests, and their level of musicianship is such they not only play the solid hits of ALL the decades, they cook 'em up like they wrote them themselves. The dance floor at our 50th class reunion was packed like I've never seen it before, and I was worried that our crowd was getting too old to boogie! :) This band doesn't disappoint! ~ Dave Reynolds, Bladensburg High School Reunion Music Chairman -- Dave R, Baltimore, MD, 6/16/2007
  • We had a mostly 50+ crowd at our "Senior Prom" at our tavern. From the moment the Winston's started playing the crowd was dancing. Their selection of songs for the event was perfect. Their performance was outstanding. We heard only positive comments from our crowd. From the owner's point of view, they were very easy to work with and did exactly what they said they would do. I highly recommend them. We definitely hope to have them play for us again. Joyce Brown, owner Tractor Bar www.tractorbar.com -- Steve B, Mount Nebo, WV, 5/5/2007
  • The Winstons were wonderful. They helped make our fundraising event a sucess! They were very professional and easy to work with. The band was excellent and was the perfect entertainment for our event. It would not have been the same without them. I received many compliments from the guests and many of them picked up business cards for future events. I would hire them without hesitation for any future events our group would host and would definitely recommend them to anyone else looking for entertainment! Thank you guys you were amazing! -- Mary G, Winchester, VA, 2/17/2007
  • How can I begin to thank The Winstons enough for the AMAZING job they did at our recent function? I have never seen people so quickly flood the dance floor and stay there and it was all due to the fantastic music and personality of the band. I would 100% recommend them and would happily be a reference to anyone considering a band for their function. -- Phillipa W, Washington, DC, 10/13/2006
  • The Winstons performed at my wedding. They did a magnificent job. They were there and set up on time and they were dressed to impress. I was very pleased with the song selection and they were able to take our ques and cut the music to fit our first dance and the father/daughter dance. They played light accompanying music during dinner and were very well received by our guest. We danced and partied the night away. I would not only recommend them again but I would also hire them for any other event that we may have. -- Albert M, Mitchellville, MD, 2/16/2008
  • We hired The Winstons to play at my wife's 40th Birthday Party. They were great. They got people out on the dance floor. Everyone was very complimentary about the band. I was particularly impressed that they learned a song that my wife really like (Reggae Woman). They were also very professional. They showed up early and were very easy to work with. I would hire them again and I would highly recommend them. -- Mike K, Wilmington, DE, 4/28/2007
  • Great Gig! I would recommend the Winstons to anyone. -- Tosh B, Farmville, VA, 10/11/2008
  • The crowd loved the band. They arrived on time and performed as their contract requested. Great band! Nancy -- Nancy W, Henderson, NC, 10/16/2010
  • every thing went over big with this band i would highly recommend this band they had every one up and dancing played the greatest music very talented group went off withouyt a hitch. we will surely use again -- Charlie B, Greencastle, PA, 8/21/2008
  • I cant rave enough about the Winstons Band! They were the life of the event! They kept in contact throughout the planning process and were at the event earlier than anyone doing sound checks and making sure their performance would be top knotch. I was exteremely pleased with their professionalism, their attention to detail, and the totally awesome talent they all have. Their Motown revue is awesome and by the end of the night everyone was dancing around the room! I've already made reccomendations that they perform at my own Family Reunion next year. You can't lose with thses guys! Ken -- Kenneth S, Timonium, MD, 10/8/2011
  • Everyone loved these guys! We had more people dancing at this event than at any of our other events with different bands. These guys were everyone's favorites. -- Kathryn T, Lanexa, VA, 9/30/2011
