• Solid Core performed at our home for a birthday party for my husband and 50 guest. They were outstanding! I viewed their demo video and knew they were the perfect band for our 50-60's themed clambake, but they surpassed the video. I was concerned that the large group would over power our small affair, but they performed at the perfect sound level. The next day, neighbors we don't even know, came and gave my husband a birthday gift and thanked us for the wonderful music that entertained them all evening. They said they were sad when it was over! They said they even enjoyed the music that Solid Core provided during their breaks. They are definitely recommended. -- Suzy T, Tierra Verde, FL, 4/30/2011
• I would recommend this band to anyone! They were amazing! There were at least 25 guests that came up to me and commented on how great the band was. Jay is completely professional and a whole lot of fun. He is very flexible as well. If you want a talented, excited, accommodating and lively band for your next event, please consider choosing Solid Core Band. You will not regret it :) -- Loren B, Tampa, FL, 9/3/2011
• I am the Social Director at our boat club, and also sit on the board of Directors. Making a good decision for our 2 major functions a year for a "knock it our of the park" band... I KNOW WE DID IT THIS TIME! Jay, Bill and his crew were so professional, prompt, accomidating,and above all talented! Our members danced all night and felt a great connection with Jay getting on the dance floor with all of us! We had many requests and moving parts to our event, and they were so wonderful to work with! I would hire them again... as a matter of fact I already have recieved a request for them already to work in Sarasota again! Thank you fora great evening! Pam -- Pamela Y, Sarasota, FL, 9/24/2011
• Solid Core performed at my New Year's Eve wedding. Absolutely loved everything about Solid Core. Jay Seven (the frontman) was extremely easy to work with and very professional! Would book them in a heartbeat again! -- Rebecca S, Tampa, FL, 12/31/2010
• Solid Core was extremely fun to work with! They were more than thrilled to learn new songs for our wedding party and more importantly- played them well! Everyone at our party was very impressed with the music and the energy that the band provided. MC Jay Seven never sat down! He sang and danced the entire time and had everyone (even the predictably non-dancers) up and moving! They also provided a super mellow jazz set during cocktail hour. I was super impressed with the band overall. Solid Core is very versatile- but I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for high-energy fun! Thank you Solid Core. We hope to see you again soon! -- Kellyn S, Tampa, FL, 10/24/2009
• Thery performed for our New Year's Eve Party at our private club. We received a lot of positive comments about this band. All the band members are excellent musicians. Jay (the lead singer) performs with so much energy (amazing how he was able to keep the pace even at the very last hour!). They played some cool mellow jazz during the dinner hour and then jumped into high gear. I would definitely recommend this band to anyone who wants a lot of fun and great music.
