We had many comments from our guests on how much they enjoyed the band at our daughter's wedding reception, in addition to playing during the ceremony. There was constant dancing throughout the evening, with lots of high energy songs, providing lots of fun for our guests. We would highly recommend the group. A big thank you to each of you!!

• Dear Mike and Blues Racket Band, Thank you so much for your amazing presence at our wedding! Everyone was phenomenal and I cannot thank you enough. Every one of you has such tremendous talent, energy, and charisma. The floor was packed and everywhere I looked, I saw feet moving and smiling faces. You guys really took our party to a level of fun we had not even imagined. My parents and I have received literally dozens of calls complimenting your style, music, and presence. Tina and Clarissa, you girls were phenomenal. Your song selection, passion, beauty and professionalism are to be commended. My parents asked for your website info because they are now groupies and want to go out with a group of their friends and dance some more! Thanks again for everything you did. You added so much fun and life to our wedding and we will be forever appreciative. Sherianne and Scott Burton -- Sherianne B, Whittier, CA, 7/16/2005
