Celebrate the Music of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead!

Why is Jerry's music so perfect for Partys/Events/Celebrations....

The music Jerry played has defined many of us. It has spanned many generations. From Old Time to Gospel to Reggae to Blues, to Motown to Beatles, Dylan, Marley, Stones, Van Morrison and of course Grateful Dead. Jerry covered all these styles of music, and played songs that touched everyone.

We can coverJerry Garcia Band and Grateful Dead all night long or we can mix in some of the bands that influenced Jerry including... Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, Smokey Robinson, Elvis Presley, Peter Rowan, Norton Buffalo, Paul Richmond, Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, James Taylor, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff , all in the style of the Jerry Garcia Band.

We have an ever growing list of songs to pull from, all bringing back colorful memories, and introducing new folks to the Americana style of music Jerry embraced and we will always love!

If you have any concerns about 'the rest' of your guests, fear not, as we can pull off virtually any request for you, and have a steady track record for entertaining 'everybody' :)

We have many, many formal weddings and wild partys under our belts and have many references that can confirm our capability and vibe.

We are not your average Grateful Dead cover band. Please come out to see and feel our energy!

We bring a professional show with state of the art sounds, lights and smiles!

• Reflections consists of band members that are not only outstanding musicians but good people. They're very accomodating, and easy to work with. I thoroughly enjoyed our party we had with them, and from all of the feedback I received from my guests, everyone who attended the party enjoyed them as well. I not only would hire them again without any hesitation, but would strongly recommend them for any outing you're considering. They'll have the room rockin' in no time! -- Bill G, Cedar Grove, NJ, 10/9/2009
• They are truly a perfect Grateful Dead tribute band..I own the #1 sushi resturant on LI, and we have had nothing but great response to there performance. I look forward to having them again !! -- Robert B, Woodbury, NY, 12/5/2008
• We were so happy and pleased with Reflections. They gave us exactly what we were looking for. Our guests loved them. John was a pleasure to work with. The night went wonderful. A wonderful memory on our wedding day. Sincerely Doug and Ellen Ciampa -- Ellen C, Manhattan, NY, 9/20/2008
• If you are looking for the generic Dead cover band, then stay away. However, if you are trying to capture the spirit of Jerry Garcia from masterfully talented musicians and performers, Reflections is certainly a must have. The band has set a new standard for being professional, friendly, and fun. We received raves from our guests about how fantastic the band was. A perfect complement to our party! I strongly recommend Reflections to anyone looking for a fun band to put an exclamation point on any party or corporate event. -- Joe S, Port Chester, NY, 7/10/2008
• Both my wife and I are musicians, and I am personally a well-reknowned "music snob" amongst my friends and colleagues. Therefore, picking a wedding band for our reception was a process wrought with stress and second-guessing. John and the rest of Reflections were perfect, however. Not only did they put my wife and I at ease by keeping in constant contact with us throughout the process, they made sure that the song list for our wedding was what we wanted, going so far as to learn 5 songs from scratch that we had said we would like to hear on our "special day" (note: they were not easy songs to learn/perform, either). Everyone at our wedding loved Reflections. -- Chris M, Cold Spring, NY, 6/28/2008
• Reflections was the highlight of an amazing and eventful evening! I am so glad to have found a band that honors great artists and music by being great artists and playing great music the way it was meant to be played. So many of our guests expressed interest in booking the band in the future, and rightfully so- their talents and professionalism are hard to come by. To John, Lizzie and the rest of the band- thank you for a wonderful night. We will definitely be working with you again in the very near future. J. Logan 8/25/07 NYC -- Jennifer L, New York, NY, 8/25/2007
• Reflections were wonderful from begining to end. We had to switch venues last minute and the band was willing to work with us and wait to the last minute for information on the booking. Once we got the party started the band was a hit with all of the guests. Even guests that weren't tradionally drawn to the style of music that Reflections plays commented on how much they "loved the band." for those that love Jerry and the gang, some thought we had CDs playing of the original artists as they approached the venue, and then realized it was Reflections playing. We danced and had a great time. From the Two year olds, teens, my 81 year old mother and all the 'Heads' in the group...we ALL danced and loved them. -- Joyce H, New Paltz, NY, 9/16/2006
• On behalf of everyone involved in the planning of this special night, I would like to thank Reflections for a truly stellar performance. I know that my brother David enjoyed them as much as everyone at the party did, old & young alike. They capture the spirit & energy of The Dead while putting their own spin on it. I highly recommend Reflections & suggest that you go see them live as well, be it at Mexicalli Live, or wherever they play. -- Eric O, Tenafly, NJ, 3/21/2009
• John was helpful and accomodating throughout the process, from my very first e-mail, through phone calls, right up to the fantastic performance.Everyone at the party of 50 for a 50th birthday celebration had a wonderful time and raved about the music. Anyone considering them should book them ASAP...You won't regret it! -- Carl C, Nyc, NY, 1/17/2009
• Reflections did a great job and provided the perfect atmosphere for our event. -- Gordon C, Greenwich, CT, 4/18/2009
• They were so terrific, we will continue looking at their website to catch future performances! Thanks! -- Rima Z, Waterbury, CT, 4/4/2009
• wonderful -- Jennifer M, Lehighton, PA, 7/11/2009
