Oh, and by the way, your wedding was beautiful."…These are just a few of the comments we heard at our March 25 wedding reception, and we still have guests emailing us with similar remarks to this day! From the moment we talked with Cliff and Burke and listened to their music, we knew we had found our guys! They have such a huge repertoire of songs, and they even offered to learn a song for my first dance. They were extremely professional, yet laid back and went out of their way countless times to make sure we felt relaxed and at ease. More than anything, Cliff and Burke are extremely nice guys who genuinely cared about making our wedding day special.'
- Brandon and Tracy T. Seven Lakes, NC "Our corporation consists of a versatile group of people. We vary in range, ethnicity, and music preference. The music selection and entertainment couldn't have been better in that it was enjoyed by everyone. From the cocktail hour to dinner and dancing, the positive feedback was resounding. Thank you for helping to make our corporate party such a success. We would recommend you without giving it a second thought."
- Cheryl T. Service Partners of The Carolinas "Melonbelly recently played at my wedding and they were wonderful. I have received so many compliments on the band. The guys were very accommodating to our needs and created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere by playing a variety of great music that everyone could enjoy. I can not say enough nice things about Melonbelly, they would be a great compliment to any event."

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Melonbelly was a great addition to our event. They were prompt, professional, and very self sufficient. They were great with the crowd and added to the party atmosphere. They were also very helpful as announcers for a contest I was coordinating. Thanks, guys!

Cliff and Burke were polite, personable, knowledgable, and willing to set up at our instruction for our son's 16th birthday party. They involved the audience, were flexible in their choice of music, and made it a great experience, one that we would repeat without reservation.
For those interested in a more acoustic, cerebral, and artistic performance, rather than a loud brash of rockers, one couldn't ask more.
