Feedback
- Gigmasters: First of all they were not booked for a funeral!! It was a fiftys dance that our lodge held. Everyone in attendance was just floored by how great the band was. Bruce Matto -- Bruce M, Shelton, CT, 5/19/2007
- The Devotions were terrific! They made my wife's birthday party an outstanding event. They delivered more than we had ever hoped, were exceptionally accommodating when we asked for help (accompanying my 4 year old grandson during their break) and on a personal basis were simply a very nice group of people. Their voices are great and they sang songs with needs that varied from falsetto to bass. The manager of the club who hears many bands said he wants them back for a club dance.
