CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Deja Blu musicians are the epitome of professional entertainment! At our daughter’s wedding reception, guests loved them and continually commented on their great music. Deja Blu accommodated our song list developed from their repertoire, and learned a new song requested by the bride and groom. During the band’s break, our iPod song list brought us down memory lane with the artists we selected. Comments from our guests included “how did you find such talent”, “these guys are awesome,” “I love this music – they sound like the originals,” “they deserve a larger audience,” and “the music was so good I had to dance and couldn’t stop.” I just wish that everyone could experience Deja Blu and bask in their harmony! Besides sounding great with their own professional audio equipment, instruments and lighting, band members were a handsome lot dressed formally for our wedding reception. With their cordial and pleasant demeanor, members eagerly aimed to please. Liz Valles, lead singer and manager, was exceptionally easy to work with during planning, and communicated very well. She worked with coordinators to announce reception events, and was flexible as needed. Liz’s lively and stylistic vocals, combined with her winning personality and showmanship, set the standard for entertainment for very special events.

Deja Blu is great! We've employed Deja Blu for our organizational event for the past four years. Great vocals and musicianship. Liz and her guys really know how to bring a crowd alive and get everyone up dancing. Very easy to work with and they accommodate all of our needs. Hire them - you won't be disappointed!

This is the second year we hired Deja Blu for our Holiday Party. They perform a good variety of songs and engage the audience in a wonderful way. They are very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommned them for personal or corporate parties.

Liz and the gang were friendly and professional from day one of our encounter. They had their demo cd to me (although now I know it does not do them justice) immediately and they one best vocal in our office prior to booking them.
Their rates were great, and everything the night of (except for the snow) went smoothly. They are a great band, flexible and we will be booking them for next year shortly.

We had the most amazing time with Deja Blu as the band for our wedding. The feather boas were so much fun. and they learned every song we talked to them about and they played them perfectly. Every person at our wedding danced and some lost the voice singing along with the band.
It was the most fabulous time and I would recommend Deja Blu to anyone looking for a wedding to remember. It has been a month since our wedding and people are still talking about how much fun they had!
Thanks,
Heather & Ryan Vossler

The band incorporated 4 new songs into their repetoir and played them to perfection. The highlight of the night was a great rendition of the Pennsylvania Polka, in honor of the groom's mother. They were able to go from alternative, to jazz, to swing, to a polka without missing a beat. Definitely a great addition to a great wedding.

Nothing short of outstanding. Top notch professionism start to finish. By the second song after bride/groom and father/bride dance all our wedding guests were on the dance floor for the evening. I heard nothing but fabulous comments from our wedding guests. The 20 somethings and 50 somethings and everyone in between (and older) all enjoyed the song list, excellent musicianship, great vocals and harmonies. I have already recommended Deja Blu to another wedding party. Music has been a big part of our life and many of our wedding guests. Everyone agreed Deja Blu was outstanding and just what the bride and groom asked for their reception...let's dance the night away.

We hired them to play for a graduation party for 3 hours, starting at 5:30. The guests requested that they play longer, turned out until 10:30 that night. Great entertainment for dancing, singing along. My son had given them a list of his favorite songs and they came prepared to play them and more as the requests kept coming in. We would hire them again and highly recommend them.

It was "Oh my God" they're playing 'Stray Cats'! - 'Look - they've let Doug sit in on the drums" and "Mike's sitting in with the tambourine"! The dance floor was crowded. Everyone was up and dancing...even us Baby Boomers!
Deja Blu are an experience to savor...by all means you want them to play for your event.

This was probably the most special and important event in my life and hiring Deja Blu was the best thing we could have done to make this event perfect. They interacted great with us and our guests. Their music was so entertaining and fantastic. I would highly recommend anyone who wants a night to remember to hire this band. Thank you again Deja Blu.

Deja Blu was fabulous. The music was so fantastic and fun, with a lovely, lively balance of fast and slow songs, sprinkled with our personal favorites (Santana being my husband's favorite, the birthday guy). They were both involved in the party, and performing, making space for all the special things we had planned for this 60th Birthday Bash. Deja Blu was both the glue and the sparkle that made the party work. A grand time was had by all. Several guests commented on how great the band was. One friend said "I have to have them at my 60th party." If you are looking for a fantastic party band, you just need look no further. Deja Blu stands alone, in my opinion.

There is a reason that this is the number one band in Denver. They are great musicians, accomodating, and very professional. We went to see others on the list and they did not even come close to the range and quality of Liz and the rest of the band.
The day of the party the sound man was there early to set up and everything went very smooth. They got the party started as soon as they started playing and kept up the great energy until the very last song.
This is the band....look no further.
