"We stopped by El Sarape while a friend was visiting from out of town, and Dr. Saxy’s live music ended up being one of the highlights of the weekend. His saxophone performance brought a warm, welcoming energy to the space and made the whole experience feel more memorable. My friend was genuinely impressed and kept commenting on how much he enjoyed the music. Beyond being a skilled saxophonist, Dr. Saxy is also a talented composer. He shared with us some pieces of music that he has been writing! It’s clear he puts real passion into his craft, and it shows. Thanks for a great night!"

"Un gran artista que no sólo domina a la perfección el saxo sino también el dibujo, la fotografía, la actuación, el arte de la medicina… Hay en su música ese elemento de virtuosismo y genialidad. "

"Reality Rally is one of Temecula's annual signature events and Kelly Cowan has been our event's musical director for most of our 9 years. His band, Lifetime Rocker has been a big part of the success of our event, creating different and exciting performances over the years keeping our event fresh and enticing. They have an incredible repertoire with over 500 plus songs in almost any genre one can wish for. The band members Kelly, Ray, Joe and Geoff have a remarkable chemistry and talent that makes Life Time Rocker stand way above most other bands. They are interactive with each other and the event guests which shows they care. Reality TV Stars are a big part of Rally Rally and many of those Stars are musicians. Kelly put together a “Celebrity Jam” preparing a special performance at our Evening Gala at South Coast Winery with his band and Reality Star musicians from all over the country. Amazing accomplishment with no possibility of practice and it was flawless. Another memorable and successful contribution Lifetime Rocker made was “Live Band Karaoke” at our Evening of Entertainment at Wilson Creek Winery. Our guests were lined up to sing and have their chance to be backed by a professional band making this evening another incredible success. Kelly and his fun band have performed at many of the other parts of our event over the years. He and his band are a pleasure to work with, they are creative, responsive to our needs and those of the event guests ensuring everyone have a most memorable time. Planning is seamless with Kelly which a huge relief for an event planner and performance is beyond expectations. They all have the heart and passion for what they do and I look forward to having them part of Reality Rally 2022. I highly recommend them for any function. "

Our communication before the event was detailed and thorough as he aimed to know and understand my music selection and went an extra step and wanted to learn more about the event and organization. Jeff was prompt, Professional, and courteous. I would hire Jeff at any future event and would definitely recommend him to others."

"The Brass Monkees played at our wedding recently and were absolutely amazing! Our dancefloor was packed and our guests loved them. The encore was a brilliant moment with the brass section of the band taking to the dancefloor. We would highly recommend them and we are looking forward to seeing them play again soon. Thanks for making our big day so special! xxx"

"Alive and Kicking were just perfect for our event the other night. They were professional, accomplished and most of all a lot of fun. They were happy to take requests for their set list beforehand and even on the night! We were so happy that they’d learned a medley just for our event! They partook in the theme which added to the ambience of the event and I could not recommend them enough for all occasions in the future. "

"Customer Reviews ​ Review received on 6/21/2024 Wrecking Crew Express was a huge hit at our Senior Prom event. Our residents ages 70+ could not stay in their chairs and wanted to keep dancing. They are talking about it! We're excited to invite them back at our next event. The band was absolutely awesome! Reviewer: Shaleen McCart Event Date: June 20th, 2024 Services Provided: 1960s Era Entertainment ​ ​ Wrecking Crew Express brings down the house. I can not even keep track of how many standing ovations this fantastic, great, professional, awesome, best ever band had. These are just some of the adjectives describing how the audience enjoyed the Wrecking Crew Express and wanted to know when they would be back. The joint was jumping. They had people up and dancing that haven't moved in years. One woman that had cerebral palsy and had never danced (except sitting in a chair) was so moved that she stood up grabbed the chair for support and danced.I could go on and on. Wrecking Crew Express WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reviewer: Gloria B Event Date: November 3rd, 2018 Services Provided: 1960s Era Entertainment Rating: 5 out of 5 ​ Review received on 4/13/2025 WOW!!!!! Wow!!! The band was OMG outstanding!! After only about 5 songs our group already decided that the band would be hired for next year’s event also. We have been hosting RV rally events for 10 years and this was the best yet.

We had Wrecking Crew Express perform at our house for a B-Day party on Saturday. They blew us away with how awesome they are as singers and musicians. The three lead singers were fabulous. Gary was so easy to work with and organized everything for us. We had a crowd of about 60 people. Everyone I talked to was blown away at the quality of the music. Strongly recommend!

My guests were so pleased! The Wrecking Crew stayed in communication with me, showed up on time, helped with room set up, and dazzled my guests with their musical talent. Not only was their music incredible, their sensitivity to the event and kindness to my husband and me while performing will never be forgotten. I couldn't recommend a band more for any event that you want to have a good time and dance with gusto!

This band was so much fun and wow, the talent was off the chart! Not only did our guests come up to me that evening to say what a great band this was, but now it's the day after and we are still hearing about it! We couldn't have asked for a better evening! Now I want to plan another event so we can have the Band back! Everyone in the band was cordial and a lot of fun! Class act!

Wrecking Crew Express helped celebrate our Mother’s 80th birthday bash. Gary was super helpful prior to our event with suggestions for the best performance possible. They were very open to our song selections and promise to deliver an amazing performance. On the day of the event the band arrived an hour early to set up their equipment and when the time arrived to start jamming, it was pure magic the rest of the night. The band interacted with our guest. Got the entire party dancing and really took care of the birthday girl. All of guest enjoyed the music and it was truly a night that myself and the my mother will never forget.

"What a fantastic evening. We just picked this band after listening to their music on the website and couldn’t have chosen better. Ollie responded to all our emails and questions. The band turned up when they said they would, set up and even put on strobe lighting to add to the party atmosphere. They played all the songs we requested from their playlist and more and had the majority of party goers up on the dance floor for most of the night, many of whom also commented on how good the music was. We had a fantastic evening of music and wouldn’t hesitate to ask Unit 4 to play for us again or recommend them. Thank you Unit 4 for a great evening of entertainment."

"Hallo, Ich möchte Sie gern für ein Konzert in Heilbronn( Germany) buchen... Sehr sehr gern im März....wäre es möglich?? Bitte melden Sie sich zurück... LG Sally"

Reply by Rockin Rebel
Hello Sally, Thank you very much for your lovely message — I’d be absolutely delighted to hear about your concert idea in Heilbronn. March could certainly be possible, depending on the exact date. If you could let me know the proposed date, venue details, and whether this would be for 1950s & 1960s rock n roll solo show or my Respectfully Elvis show I’d be very happy to discuss it further. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Ivan.B
