Clients Feedback:-
1. One of the easiest and best band to work with!
Brunswick Crossing hired MHB to play at our community outdoor concert series this past summer. Not only is the band great, really great, but Matt is very professional, in constant contact, and willing to work outside the box! We loved them so much, we've invited them back for our Fallfest in September!
2. If you want a band with a lot of energy, then this is the band! They played very well in line together. The saxophone player was on point as well as the keyboard player. All in all the band was great. The customers really enjoyed listening to them and are looking forward to having them come back out and play!
3. Matt was great. He interacted with the crowd without interrupting the festivities. And family and friends are still talking about his sound. It was the perfect mix of upbeat and more mellow bluesy sounds for a summer afternoon outdoors event.
4. This wasn't the first time, nor will it be the last, that I've experienced MHB live. The ability of frontman Matt baron to feed the audience what they need is remarkable, and his improvisational skills and songwriting are top notch. Being a long time working musician myself, I have not only a more precise ear for criticism, but also possibly a greater appreciation for artists with Matt's gifts. I know how rare it is. You should too. Hire this man, you will be delighted.
5. They played covers and original music as well. You can tell they are not amateurs as they knew what they were doing, no one was out of sync, and the sound was perfect. In general, a very professional and entertaining band.
6. I saw MHB quite a handful of times over the span of a few years in Chicago and the performances were always top-notch. He always has a great mix of original music and nicely interpreted covers to keep the crowd engaged. His backing bands, made up of rotating members, were consistently of the highest caliber. When playing solo he uses technology skillfully to fill the room with a near-full-band sound. You won't be disappointed.
