Feedback

  • everyone was very satified with Ernest and his band. A good time was had by all. We would use him again and would recommend him to friends -- Charles S, Baton Rouge, LA, 9/11/2011
  • everything was good -- Dana P, Laplace, LA, 8/13/2011
  • We would definitely use this band again -- David R, Perkinston, MS, 7/30/2011
  • We hired Pooyai band for our corporate tailgaiting event at LSU campus. The band worked with us to accomodate our unique event and budget. We were very impressed by the bands' communication leading up to the event, professionalism and value. We feel as though we got the absolute most "bang for our buck" in terms of sound quality, vocal and instrumental talent. In Fact, the band was so good, it attracted the attention of other tailgaitors who came over to our tent to take pictures and video of the band. The band has a great mix of authentic Louisiana Cajun & Zydeco music as well as modern tracks. We highly recommend Pooyai Band for any event, any size, any place. -- Camille T, Baton Rouge, LA, 11/12/2011
  • We hosted a huge event at a Hotel Ballroom and Pooyai Band rocked it!!! They were super flexible as we had to change location in the hotel last minute due to bad weather and they were totally flexible! I will definitely use them in the future and will be recommending them to friends in the area. Thanks Gigmasters! Pooyai Band was the bomb (: -- Corey H, Metairie, LA, 2/18/2012
  • Glad we contracted their services and will do it again when in New Orleans. -- Lucy R, New Orleans, LA, 5/9/2012
