"Fantastic The best musicians to liven up your wedding, and with class! Excellent music selection, they adapt very well to your needs. Very professional and helpful. My guests' feet are still sore from dancing so much, haha, and that was in August of last year. I recommend them 100%!"

"Posted 07/24/2023 R You know a band is great when guests ask to band contact info after the event. Le Mixx is a group of incredibly talented musicians who not only kept everyone on the dance floor, but ensured there was never music-less time. Cordial, cooperative, professional. Myke even allowed the groom to play a song with them. This is the only band you should hire for your wedding. (The Knot) "

"I hired The RnB Singer UK for my book launch party which was held at, The Pavillion, North Acton Playing Fields in Acton on Saturday 11th July 2015. Having not heard him perform before, I was blown back by his voice and so were my other guests. This is a man that can definitely sing and I hope that he will get the recognition he deserves. To be honest, if he didn't have another gig after my event, I would have paid for him to stay for the whole event. Mark is pleasure to work with, because he performs in a professional manner and he is active with the audience. Mark sang the songs I chose with enthusiasm and feelings, but most of all he sounded just like the original artists who actually sang them. I've already booked 'The RnB Singer UK' to perform at my wedding and I haven't even got a partner. So that says something. Lol Well done Mark from myself and all the 'A Love Out Of Bounds' supporters. You did yourself proud. Keep striving, remain positive and you will go far."

"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! "

"posted 09/08/2023 Le'Mixx played at our wedding on 08/19/23. Le'Mixx is an incredible band - high energy, insanely talented and professional. I worked with Myke to plan key details for the weekend (e.g. entrance song, processional, first dances etc). He had a knack for attention to detail & he made the planning process so easy. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly & the band was the highlight of the night. I spent the whole night out on the dance floor with my friends & family and after the event, everyone was asking for the bands' information. Many of our guests are California based & they were even wondering if they could fly the band out to CA for events - Le'Mixx is THAT GOOD! If you're looking for an incredible band for your wedding, they should be your go-to. They play fun songs that all generations can connect with & there was not one moment in the night that the dance floor wasn't full. (The Knot)"

"Ronnie and the Dynomites were super-great and perfect for our occasion! They were all so appreciative and courteous and really wanted to make sure everything was as we wanted it. Ronnie was great at communication with me before the event and even asked if there were any specific or special songs we wanted played. They showed up early to set up and started on time with maybe one short break(?). The entire party enjoyed the band very much. We would totally hire Ronnie and the Dynomites again Gig Id 4157649 The Bash"
