• We LOVED Shady Drive. They did an amazing job for our wedding, and I would highly recommend them. They played great covers, and people were dancing all night. We had the female vocalist and the keyboard player in addition to the basic drums, guitar and bass, and I think the additional musicians really added a lot. Everyone at our wedding keeps mentioning that the band at our wedding was great. We definitely think that you should book these guys. They're great! -- Margaret S, Cleveland Heights, OH, 11/5/2011
• Shady Drive was one of the first to respond with a bid to our Luau Wedding this summer. We went with friends to see them perform locally and were very impressed with their musical talent, and booked them. My wife and I have a very special song and Shady Drive offered to learn it for the wedding. If I didn't personally see Shady Drive performing I'm Yours, I would've thought Jason Mraz was singing it himself. My wife and I, our families, friends, and guests were all very impressed by the enthusiasm, entertainment and talent of the Shady Drive Band. We would HIGHLY recommend Shady Drive to anyone looking to have a rockin' good time for their special event. -- Patrick L, Catawba Island, OH, 6/26/2010
• FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!!! We loved this band! We hired Shady Drive to play our wedding reception, and we never could have dreamed they'd be so good! They're a REALLY great band. They are professional, fun, easygoing, nice people who were completely flexible when we ran really late. Rob acted as emcee for toasts and introductions. Even when our guests started making crazy requests, they were completely cool. The band got everyone young and old out on the dance floor, and people absolutely loved them. We would hire them again in a heartbeat. Two HUGE thumbs up, and a glowing recommendation of Shady Drive to anyone looking for a band to play their next event. -- Katy P, Gambier, OH, 6/4/2011
• SHADY DRIVE DID A GREAT JOB FOR OUR GRADUATION PARTY.THEY ALLOWED MY SON TO PLAY A COUPLE OF SONGS WITH THEM AS WELL.WHAT EVER I ASKED THEY WERE VERY ACCOMODATING .I WOULD CERTAINTLY USE THEM AGAIN.THANKS ROB AND THE REST OF THE BAND FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB FOR US.IT MADE OUR SON'S DAY ALL THE MORE SPEACIAL. TONY C -- Tony C, Wickliffe, OH, 6/5/2011
• Rob Hayes and Shady Drive were very easy to work with and gave us a great performance. They were friendly, helpful, prepared, easy to work with (even with my difficult self), and most importantly not your typical wedding band - and by that I mean they are actually talented musicians who happen to be organized enough to keep a wedding moving and entertained. If you have been searching high and low for a good band to play your wedding and dj between breaks, during dinner, and for special dances then do what I did and call Rob and Shady Drive...they'll take care of you. -- Kyle W, Cleveland, OH, 6/13/2010
