Feedback
- Extremely happy I hired this band! Everyone enjoyed the music and the musicians were all very talented and professional. I would definately highly recommend heat of the night! Great music and experience - no complaints -- W B, Winston Salem, NC, 4/20/2012
- We booked mike and his band for our wedding at the four seasons in las Vegas. I can honestly say they did a great job. Mike was there early on the day to setup ahead of the ceremony. The rest of the guys were all there in plenty of time, so I did not need to worry about any no shows
mike was very accommodating of our requests.The overall quality of the music was perfect. Those guys really nail the whole 60s and 70s genre.
I love live music. These guys have got talent in spades, mike is a professional band leader and organiser and I think the slightly older lineup adds real class to an event. Much better than some hair gelled kids.
Highly recommended!

- I can't believe we were lucky enough to have a band this great at our wedding reception. The band has such great personality and talent; both musically and in interacting with a crowd. They kept the evening rolling along nicely, and created the perfect fun, party atmosphere for our reception. It's been almost 2 weeks since the reception, and people are still telling me how great the band was and how much they enjoyed them. A great bunch of guys, and Mike is the most professional musician I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I would give them the highest recommendation to anyone having a reception or event that requires good music and a fun atmosphere. -- Jeremy M, Lewisburg, WV, 5/19/2012
- Heat of the Night, they where great. Had a lot of people at our party compliment me on our choice for the band.

- My wedding guests were thrilled to hear all their favorite songs played live! Heat of the Night is a group of truly talented musicians. In addition, they were very accommodating, professional and FUN to work with. All of my guests complimented them and danced happily! They exceeded all my hopes and made my night very special! -- Melissa C, Las Vegas, NV, 5/10/2008
- they were great and accomodating they were asked to come on later and they did without asking for asking for anything additional. They even performed a couple of more songs for free. -- Frank P, Las Vegas, NV, 7/28/2007
- The band was excellent, professional, and really kept our party going. Very talented, and easy to work with. I had some reservations about hiring a live band versus a DJ for my party, but I am so glad I chose the band. I would hire them again without a doubt! -- Jennifer M, Las Vegas, NV, 10/13/2007

Thanks Heat of the Night!!

- We were thrilled by the performance that Mike Lee gave to our group. People walked up to me during and after the show and said, this guy is goooooood, where did you ever find him. On a scale of 1 to 100,
(1= lowest, 100= highest) I would rate Mike Lee at 200.
Great singer, very talented, and we will have him back next year and you can take that to the bank. If you can book this talent, sign him up, you'll be very happy you did.
