Feedback

  • Saffire Express was fantastic, and a great fit to the Back-N-Time cruz-in in Brownstown, IN. The crew was great to work with, and made you fill like part of the family. Their style of music pleased everyone of all ages. I'll have the back for sure! Thank you Saffire Express, and keep on rockin. -- Denny O, Brownstown, IN, 5/31/2008
  • Saffire Express was great! They kept our dance floor full all evening and everyone had a great time! They played a perfect mix of songs from different decades. Additionally, they were very accommodating of our special requests. -- Julie T, Lexington, KY, 4/4/2009
  • Sam and Dana, the band leaders, were incredibly easy to work with. Sam made a trip to the venue a month before our wedding to determine where/how to set up the band. The band arrived early and was completely set up even before the guests arrived for dinner. Sam MC'd all the reception events - announcing the bridal party, cake cutting, first dance, etc. The band got the dancing going after dinner and kept people dancing for hours. The music is great for all ages, is upbeat, energetic and fun. They even learned 3 of our special songs. Everyone was impressed! With 9 pieces including horns, they have a great sound! -- Tina G, Dayton, OH, 4/26/2008
