Feedback
- Very pleased with these gentlemen! The audience loved them and hoped they were coming back again during our summer series.
I would have them perform again in the future. -- Elaine S, Needham, MA, 6/10/2010
- I am very happy that I booked this band for my wedding reception. They really made me feel like it was my special day and they were there to support me.
I requested "Mack the Knife" by Louis Armstrong and they performed it wonderfully (with vocals). They were open to requests and also performed a Billy Holiday song with my sister which went beautifully.
They fell in love with our dog (as most visitors do) and dedicated a song to her. Our guests were very amused.
I would recommend them to all of my friends. -- Maggie J, Atkinson, NH, 9/5/2009
- The met all of my expectations. The only reason for a 4 on Talent is because they did not perform any vocals. I asked for background music only. Donn was great to deal with. He contacted me as needed, he was professional and very flexible to work with my needs. -- Alan B, Wellesley, MA, 8/22/2009
