• From day one it was so easy working with Cheri and the guys from Island of Rhythm Entertainment. They were on time, set up in a timely manner, and were awesome performers! They played the songs we asked them to, and many others that everyone loved. They have great talent, the keyboard player was keeping the rhythm, Cheri can get down on the drums, and the guy playing the Sax was awesome, sometimes playing two at the same time. Everyone was impressed with the band. I've had so many people tell me how good they were and how they will book them for other events. I definitely recommend these guys, you won't be disappointed! -- Russ J, Laurel, MS, 1/21/2012
