Feedback
- Robby Vee and the Rock-its were exceptional, totally a top-notch band!
I would give them the absolute top rating in every category. They were extremely accomodating and nice to work with. They were professional in every way, and their music really moved us to get out on the dance floor! They rocked! Robby Vee is an incredible singer who has a very distinctive style, and he is a master guitarist as well. Did I mention that he is adorable too? The band is way above average with serious talent! They put on a show that is second to none. For our reunion they were perfect, as they played music from
the sixties that we loved and could identify with and sing along to. -- Deb H, Thief River Falls, MN, 7/26/2008
- Robby Vee's band did a great job! Our crowd was slim because of rain
downpours most of the afternoon, but the folks who heard him really
enjoyed the performance. He was great with the kids. I was told ahead of time that he played to the audience and he sure did.
Thanks,
