CLIENT FEEDBACK:
I would like to thank the “OpenRoad” band for doing such a great job at our annual crab feed at St. Michael’s Church in Livermore. You have played for us for three years now and you just get better. Your renditions of the old classics were excellent, better than most I have heard. Throughout the night while you were playing I heard from numerous people about how well you were and where did I find you etc… It was truly a pleasure having you join us for dinner and dancing to the music.
Thank you and we hope to see you again next year,
Michael Valent

OpenRoad was hired based on their experience playing for Jack London Square 4th of July Festivals since 2004. They play a wide range of music styles to entertain different age groups, e.g., from Classic Rock, Motown/R&B, to hits from contemporary artists.
We wanted to get our visitors involved and excited for this event. OpenRoad collaborated to include two dance contests with their performance. We got some great photos of the participants and winners!
OpenRoad will be asked to perform at future events at Jack London Square.
