Feedback

  • I was a little hesitant to book a band online . But De Nada lived up to everything they promised. They had a small window of time to set up their equipement but they were able to get set up on time. They are a highly skilled band and didn't miss a beat. They had a great set list that got everyone up and dancing and partying, which can sometimes be tricky at a scientific conference. They even played some extra songs at the end. Thanks Brian!!! -- Brent W, Seattle, WA, 11/11/2011
  • De Nada was awesome! They had great musicianship, harmonies and obvious skill. They took requests from guest, sang backup on a special song and even harmonized from new lyrics. So many guests have told me how great the band was. They read the audience, feed off the group and got people dancing. They have impressive musical skill. They are tight, harmonize well, hit all the licks and fills. The female voice increases their range and playlist. Brian was very professional, answering calls and emails, working with my brother and the facility, sending out the contract and setting up early. I would highly recommend De Nada to any one! -- Anna H, Beaverton, OR, 1/23/2010
  • We hired DeNada for a very important "First Annual" nonprofit fundraising event. They were prompt, very professional, they sounded terrific, their song list was perfect...donors and patrons danced all night. We had many comments that this was the best band ever heard at the facility. We highly recommend them....they're a great match for those needing great dance music with an adult, sophisticated sound. -- Jeri B, Silverton, OR, 12/5/2009
  • De Nada was a huge hit at our 4th of July party. I would hire them back in a heart beat. They agreed to play for a very reasonable price,were there early to set up, and were ready to go at start time.They were very easy to work with the entire time.I recommended a long list of songs from De Nada's song list that I knew our friends would enjoy. They have great versatile playing most every song I picked ,and have a unique able to sound very much like the original artist. I played music professionally for over 20 years,and I know a good band when I hear one,and De Nada really has a great sound.De Nada really made our party a huge hit. -- Tom F, Ethel, WA, 7/4/2009
