Discover why our clients say: “Can’t get enough!!!” *** “Harmonies akin to Supertramp… musicianship is excellent…” *** “classic sounding" *** “On the nose feel good music.” *** “… lots of real emotion and great instrumentation" *** “Full, rich and cool 70s-retro groove and vibe” *** “Superior musicianship.” *** “5 stars” Here is an actual email we recieved from a client on Oct 16, 2008 regarding our performance just two weeks before: Ken,
I just wanted to tell you thanks & let you know how much I appreciate your band! Since we've returned to the "real world", I have received countless complements on the music -- everyone has told me how great you guys were & how much they enjoyed the music & dancing. Even my grandmother has been gushing to all her friends... and by the way, the fact that you got an 80 yr old to dance to YMCA shows you're doing one hell of a job!! And thanks also for being flexible with the schedule -- I know we ended up doing everything out of order (and late), but it was great that you could work around us. Overall, I couldn't have asked for anything better -- I had a fabulous wedding day & you guys made the reception wonderful!!
--Courtney

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Excellent choice for a wedding reception. All my friends were begging for more at the end. The band was very professional, always returned calls promptly, learned songs I requested, and even followed cues for our choreographed wedding dance. I have nothing but high praise! Thanks so much for making my reception fun and memorable.
