"I booked the Jersey SureCats Band to play at our campground. Whenever I book something new, I always swing down to check it out and count how many of my guests showed up. When I first got there, I counted more than 200 and as I listened to the music, I was hooked on each song. Eventually, I left my car and sat in the grass and just enjoyed the music...something I NEVER do after a long 40 hour weekend. I'm usually antsy to get home. Soon my hubby and adult son showed up and also hung out listening to the band for more than an hour. By the time I left, the crowd swelled to more than double with people hanging out in small groups all around the field and beach. They were so good that I'm already trying to get them for a return date. My only fear in telling you how good they were is that the price will go up or I won't be able to get them."

"Brothers After All - Allman Brothers Tribute at Crazy Uncle Mike's, May 31, 2025 On May 31, 2025, Brothers After All delivered a soulful and electrifying performance at Crazy Uncle Mike’s in Boca Raton, FL, paying tribute to the Allman Brothers Band with a show that captured the heart of Southern rock. Hailing from Florida’s Treasure Coast, this ensemble showcased their reputation as a premier tribute act, blending virtuosic musicianship with a vibrant stage presence that transported the audience back to the Allman Brothers’ golden era. The show kicked off at 9:00 PM, with the band diving into a meticulously crafted setlist that spanned the Allman Brothers’ iconic catalog. Enhanced by dynamic visual effects, the performance was an immersive experience, blending blues, rock, and jazz-infused improvisation. The YouTube livestream, available for those who couldn’t attend, captured the energy well, but the electric atmosphere at Crazy Uncle Mike’s, amplified by the venue’s intimate vibe and enthusiastic crowd was unparalleled. The first set opened with the fiery one-two punch of Don’t Want You No More and Not My Cross to Bear, setting the tone with searing guitar riffs and soulful organ swells. Tracks like Southbound and Black Hearted Woman brought high-energy grooves, while Blue Sky and Soulshine showcased the band’s emotional depth. The second set was equally compelling, with highlights including a heartfelt Melissa, an extended jam on In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, and a crowd-pleasing Midnight Rider. The night reached a peak when Jeff Prine joined the band for the final two songs of the second set, One Way Out and Whipping Post, adding an extra layer of intensity and authenticity that sent the audience into a frenzy. The band, featuring Lefty Hathaway’s soulful vocals and organ, Pete Quigley and Dave Lasman’s dual guitar interplay, Will Keehner’s dynamic bass, and the powerhouse percussion of Mike Loschiavo, Hosny Franck, and Mitch Fine, delivered each song with precision and passion. The guitarists’ interplay evoked the iconic Duane Allman-Dickey Betts dynamic, while Hathaway’s vocals captured Gregg Allman’s gritty emotion. Crazy Uncle Mike’s, with its welcoming vibe and excellent food and drink offerings, was the perfect backdrop. The show ran until around midnight, leaving the crowd exhilarated. For those who missed it, the performance is available on Crazy Uncle Mike’s YouTube channel, offering a chance to relive the magic. Brothers After All didn’t just perform, they honored the Allman Brothers legacy with authenticity and heart, making this a must-see for Southern rock fans.

"I’ve had the pleasure of hiring Ronnie Barrera for numerous events over the years, and every single time he has exceeded my expectations. Ronnie is one of those rare entertainers who brings both extraordinary talent and impeccable professionalism to the stage. Whether he’s leading a band, dazzling on the jazz guitar, or lending his smooth voice to a classic tune, he delivers a performance that feels effortless, polished, and deeply engaging. One of Ronnie’s greatest strengths is his versatility. He can glide from soulful jazz standards to upbeat rock and roll without missing a beat, always reading the room and choosing exactly the right energy for the moment. His musical range allows him to elevate any event—formal dinners, lively celebrations, intimate gatherings, or large-scale functions. No matter the setting, Ronnie shows up fully prepared, perfectly attuned to the event’s mood, and ready to create an unforgettable experience. What truly sets Ronnie apart is his dedication. He communicates clearly, arrives early, and ensures every detail is just right. I always feel confident knowing he’s part of the program, because I trust his talent, his consistency, and his ability to make guests feel delighted and swept into the moment. Ronnie Barrera isn’t just a musician—he’s an entertainer in the highest sense of the word. I recommend him wholeheartedly. Cheryl Jones"

"We had a great time last night. We had Me & jiggs play at our going away party' and what a night to remember. We had a barbeque in the yard' .. the band came out to play an acoustic set of traditional tunes' ..all the young children gathered in a circle and danced to their hearts content. After about a half hour the band went inside where they had already set up for the performance .it was lively and there was something to suit everyone. The band had their own lights which brought the venue to life. It was unforgetable' we both really enjoyed it as did all of our friends. "

"songsNews “10 Bourbon Street”: an album that transports us to New Orleans, under the command of Catfish-Howl “10 Bourbon Street” springs from the blues fountain in New Orleans. We have ten songs that are a delight. Here the instrumental presentation is a lesson in dynamics and rhythm, which Catfish-Howl delivers, for our enjoyment. The New Hampshire band rocks the percussion and upbeat, colorful vocals to win our hearts. “My Baby Has Me”, “Cajun Girl” are songs that already give us an idea of ​​what we will see in this collection: they exalt love and, of course, women. A perfect sound to dance and enjoy that atmosphere of undeniable romance, which they pour into the air. The accordion is a star: it's in every melody, every beat, and there's no lack of commitment to participate with excitement, even when the guitar presents its fingerings. For those who love this mix of brass, strings, percussion and vocals that drink from the blues waters, this work is perfect. There is a reinterpretation of “Tupelo Honey”, by Van Morrison, which we need to highlight, for the proposed emotion, and the vocal delicacy involved, which is surprising. “My Maryann” takes us to New Orleans, without having to go there! You may be in Australia, where music transports your energy as if by magic. Catfish-Howl puts us in a wonderful ball to wear out our feet and exhaust our strength, as it's impossible to sit still listening to "10 Bourbon Street." The blues magic really is irresistible. Listen and enjoy."

"What a wonderful way to kick fall off with StarAlliance. Our residents and staff at Immanuel Campus of Care were thrilled with the music that this group provided. Music selection was fantastic mixed with new and old music and they even took requests. After they got done playing they took the time to speak with many of my residents and signed a few autographs. This is a professional group of musicians and would highly recommend them for your next event. Thank You for helping make our event successful!!"
