• The guys were fantastic and made the party a huge success. In fact, my neighbor is having a big party in about a month and was so impressed that he is going to hire them for that. -- Hugh J, Lake Elsinore, CA, 12/17/2011
• I was very happy with the Kings of Classic Rock - they were professional as well as talented! We had a special type of event that was a talk show setting and they were the live band. They played as the audience entered the room and people were literally dancing as they walked in. We asked the band to learn a song to play with one of our members, and they did it in a week. I am very impressed with the quality and professionalism of this band. I would reccomend them to any one and even hire them again for other events. -- Jamie S, Anaheim, CA, 3/31/2012
• The band delivered beautifully to our "40 Year Anniversary of Woodstock" theme. And thanks again for singing Happy Birthday to Thomas Greuel. You exceeded our expectations! Beautifully done. Bruce Neckels Chairman, SCCC/CBS Fireworks Festival -- Bruce N, Studio City, CA, 7/4/2009
• What a great band! This group is extremely professional, and VERY talented. We used them for a group of executives for a "Rock the Park" theme, and the event turned out amazing. The group absolutely loved this band - and their song list! Many attendees said it was "really bringing them back..." We had a blast! I can't recommend this band enough! -- Jacee B, Henderson, NV, 10/18/2008
• These guys were absolutely perfect! Total pros in every way. Besides being great musicians they were super easy to work with loads of fun, and even learned new songs specifically for our party. Every song that they played had all the energy and feel of what you would expect at a concert by the original artist. I highly recommend these guys, they are a great band in every way. -- Frank J, Dana Point, CA, 1/11/2009
• I would recommend King Of Classic Rock to anyone that asked for my opinion. I couldn't have asked for a better band to play at my event. They were more then accomodating to all my requests; they even took the time to learn 20+ songs that were requested of them. They took the time to listen to all my needs and were even willing to visit the location a month in advance to make certain we had all our basis covered. I received numerous complements from my guests on how good the band sounded; one guest even noted that they sounded just like the band Pink Floyd. I couldn't have been more pleased with their performance. -- Sheila W, Long Beach, CA, 1/13/2009
• These guys are GREAT!! I had them record music tracks for a couple 60s songs for a corporate event that I am putting together and they came in, set up and got right to business. I've done this before using other bands, and believe me, it's not always as easy as these guys made it for both me and the studio. And, most importantly, it sounds absolutely perfect, can't tell the difference from the original except for crisper sound quality. If you ever need this kind of work done I HIGHLY recommend The Kings Of Classic Rock. I'm definitely keeping their contact numbers on file. -- Hugh J, Culver Cith, CA, 1/31/2009
• Although we had complications with the weather the day of the event, KOCR were very understanding and we would love to work with them again in the future. -- Cynthia C, Fontana, CA, 11/15/2008
• What a blast! KOCR took our event to a whole 'nother level. They have the coolest song list. . no filler songs at all, just great song after great song. They were very professional to deal with, were really friendly and accomodating and most of all. . .they sounded fantastic and were really FUN! We had people ranging in ages from mid 20s to early 60s and everybody really loved them. -- Hugh J, San Clemente, CA, 1/12/2009
• Everyone at the party really enjoyed the music. A couple are going to have a party soon and indicated they were going to get in touch with you. This was a great group of guys. They helped make the party special. Thanks, Allen and Marlene -- Allen B, Riverside, CA, 5/15/2009
• In a unique situation, the band was flexible, considerate and hard working. They worked to find solutions to problems and adjusted to the situation and the time allowed. As my British friends would say: "Good Effort". -- David P, Ontario, CA, 3/28/2009
• Great band! We would definitely hire them again. We only wish that our wedding venue wouldn't have kept their sound low. If it were up to us we would have wanted them to play real loud because they are so good! They were very professional and good sports about keeping the sound down to satisfy the venue's rules. Despite that, we all had a great time! Thank you Kings of Classic Rock. We will be seeing you again! -- Sylvia Z, Laguna Beach, CA, 10/24/2009
• These guys were not only great but also really nice. We had a few glitches at our reception and these guys saved the day by being so great. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.Susan Buck -- Susan B, Malibu, CA, 10/10/2009
• KOCR rocked my wedding! I found them by recommendation of a friend and they didn't disappoint. I wanted some specific 80's songs from my youth and they learned 7 of them. They even added a female singer who nailed the Pretenders and Fleetwood Mac. I swear it was more like an arena show or something. I had been worried about them coordinating with the DJ, but they all worked it out beautifully. Now let's see if I can work out a deal with them for a Christmas party!! -- Jim J, Hollywood, CA, 8/29/2009
• Outstanding performance! A real pleasure to work with The Kings Of Classic Rock. I've hired them before and I'll hire them again, they're my favorite band for any type of event requiring a rock or classic rock band. This time they added Gina Kessler to the mix, a fantastic singer who did a great job switching from sounding like Janis Joplin to Grace Slick to Stevie Nicks. -- Frank J, Hermosa Beach, CA, 7/14/2009
