• They were amazing!!! Just simply perfect...They were exactly what I looking for..only better :) -- Kimberly S, San Antonio, TX, 7/28/2007
• Jimmy and his crew were very professional with all aspects of their performance. They were a big hit with the party. I would hire them again.....and that is hard to say because I am a musician in a band myself and could use the work!! If Jimmy did not play the drums (very excellant I might add)I would see if I could fill in with them!! Great Job to the ORB. -- David D, Liberty, TX, 6/16/2007
• They did a fabulous job at my wedding and I would recommend them to anyone that wants an easy going band! They were very responsive and great to work with. Thank you!!! -- Abby P, Dripping Springs, TX, 3/16/2007
