"Attended a disco night at the Safety Harbor Spa- it was a blast. They were great and the music was almost non-stop. Hoping our community hires them for our own Disco night."

"These gentlemen can really sing. I’ve produced many Tribute shows of singing groups for many years and this B.T.S. Tribute To The Dramatics are top notch singers. The audience told the real story with them having to sing an encore. "

"We held a large, corporate party for 600 guests at Lucky Strike in Phoenix. Brittani Jay live band was awesome, entertaining and professional! I found the band through Gigmasters, and I really like the samples there and that they had positive reviews on that site. From booking to the actual event, everything was very easy and efficient. They took note of what our musical requests were from a pre-event meeting and were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and hire them again for sure!"

"It’s quite possible to stroll right past the place while navigating West Kinzie Street, just a wee bit north of the Chicago River, and not even realize it. The only concrete clue that you’ve arrived at your destination is the sight of a black canvas entrance emblazoned with the curious moniker of the joint. It’s called Untitled, and that handle is purposely nondescript, only adding to the overall mystique of the nightspot. Head down a short flight of stairs, say hello to the doorman (there’s no cover), and you’ll find that Untitled offers a welcoming hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the Loop, which sits only a few blocks south on the other side of the river. During the Prohibition era, speakeasies dotted the Windy City landscape where those so inclined could quaff an alcoholic libation or two while securely hidden away from the long arm of the law. But those long-ago speaks were never this spacious or glamorously appointed. Make no mistake: this is a classy operation all the way, so you won’t spy any tennis shoes or sweatsuits sullying the polished dance floor. When the Rhythm Rockets take the stage at Untitled, as they’ve been doing on the second Wednesday evening of every month for a while now starting at 7:30 p.m. and going strong for three hours, the joint proceeds to jump to a barrage of eminently danceable rhythms. The music meshes perfectly with the delicious food and cool drinks that can be ordered by summoning your lovely waitress. You can dine on such delicacies as steak tartare, sea scallops, and mushroom tortellini, and top your feast off with a scrumptious slice of whoopee pie, a blend of dark chocolate-espresso cake, peanut butter mousse, and powdered sugar. There was a fair amount of dancing happening during the Rhythm Rockets’ most recent Untitled engagement, but most of the sizable crowd was content to soak in the swinging soiree at their tables or from their barstools. The sound quality was exceptionally crisp and full-bodied all night long; Dave Downer’s concise guitar licks sliced through the air with authority, and Nicole Kestler’s delightful vocals were mixed at precisely the right level for maximum enjoyment as she sailed through longtime Rhythm Rockets favorites that included Little Esther’s “Oo Papa Do,” the relaxed pre-war blues lament “Trouble In Mind,” and the band’s scorching arrangement of Ruth Brown’s “(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean” that they often use as a set closer. The sizzling sax section (tenors Michael Bielecki and Vince Salerno and baritone Justin Kierans) was tight and right throughout the evening, and the rock-solid combination of bassist Lou Marini and drummer Mark Fornek kept the grooves hitting on all cylinders. Mark usually sings a song or two on each set prior to Nicole’s entrance, and now he’s previewing a few Chicago blues numbers that he’s also singing with Dave’s new side band, the Five Alibis. Vince switched over to harmonica to give Little Walter’s ominous “I Don’t Play” an authentic Chicago blues sound, although the horns returned when Mark launched into Junior Wells’ playful shuffle “The Things I’d Do For You.” If you’re anywhere near River North on the second Wednesday of this or any month in the near future, take a walk down Kinzie and seek out Untitled, even if you have to look hard for it. It’s altogether worth the effort--and a great place to check out the Rhythm Rockets doing what they do best! "

"The Blue Moon Jazz Quartet was absolutely wonderful during our destination wedding in Amalfi. From the ceremony processional to the cocktail hour to the reception, we received countless comments from our guests on how great the band was! Raphael and the band made the booking process seamless from start to finish. We were blown away that they were willing to learn (and execute flawlessly) 3 songs for our first dance, father-daughter dance, and mother-son dance. It made our wedding day extra special and I cannot wait for our video to return to be able to relive those moments, thanks to the Blue Moon Jazz Quartet. Our only regret is that our wedding day didn’t start earlier so we could soak up even more! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! Grazie mille!"

"We hired Julie and her jazz band to perform at our 1920's Speakeasy client appreciation event and we're pleased we did! Our clients loved bring able to let loose and try out their best attempt at the Charleston! Julie was easy to work with throughout the planning process and helpful in providing her recommendations. If you're looking for some great era entertainment for a wedding or corporate event, I certainly recommend The Kensie Jazz Band!"
