Review Centre: Musical Acts

"After searching through multiple DJs here is what Larry brought to the table that others didn't. He has a great voice, fantastic MC background, modifies his style to fit the desires of our wedding, and took over many areas of planning we hadn't thought of. For our wedding he played all the right music, did a fantastic job with the microphone, took our guests requests, and was patient when we were running on different timelines. Here is the real truth about Larry...he is an honest person who is excited to do a good job for you. He shows up early, puts in the work, and charges a fair price. If you want something a certain way, Larry is the type of person to enthusiastically support you or recommend something different based on his experience. He will onboard you with all his documents and guides, which can be very helpful. My wife and I ran behind when we were doing different things like cake cutting, and I was worried he might get stressed, but I was wrong. He took the opportunity to meet our guests and confirm the types of music they liked - what an awesome thought. The whole night I knew Larry would be attentive, and that he would do exactly as we instructed him to do. That's exactly the type of DJ we wanted. In the beginning of the night he played the songs everyone could enjoy - even the early leavers. As the night got later he played songs that kept us going. The music got louder and the floor was crowded. Larry did an excellent job of reading our crowd. My wife and I are 25 and trust me, Larry can play all the right songs for our age group and up to my parents age group. Larry is a kind person, and I can tell that COVID is hurting the wedding industry quite a bit. However, I urge you to consider his services. Even if it's for a smaller gathering, family event, cocktail hour, or somewhere that you'd need an MC."

"We hired Rock the Night for our Wedding Party and from the first phone call with Jake we knew we were in safe hands. The guys were very professional through out while still carrying the vibe we were expecting based on their profile. Communication all the way through was excellent, working around our schedule, and going into detail on our music tastes and what we would like from the night. On the evening the band were prompt, setting up efficiently and letting myself and my wife be stress free!. Performance was brilliant, high energy and thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests, especially Feeder - Buck Rogers being a real stand out. Thanks again for making our night so great."

"Kathmandu Post: "Pusch says his passion for jazz is not about money. Instead it is a philosophy …" Time Out New Delhi: "There have been many jazz musicians – saxophonists John Coltrane and George Brooks to name a couple – who have been intrigued by the melodic and rhythmic complexities of Hindustani classical music. Saxophonist Rainer Pusch, how!ever, belongs to the rare breed of Western musicians who have been influenced by Carnatic music …" The Hindu: "Rainer Pusch´s solo attempts managed to capture the feel of jazz without digressing the feel from the raga pattern …" Jazzpodium: "Überzeugend hingegen geriet die Premiere von KARUNA Kshetra. Puschs warmer Tenorton versteht sich bestens mit demkarnatischen Sänger Manickam Yogeswaram …" Mannheimer Morgen: "Früher war die Musik mein Leben. Heute muss die Musik mein Leben widerspiegeln, sagt Rainer Pusch, ein Mann, der zwischen Madras, Paris und Boston viel erlebt hat …"

"In the balmy evening air of Stuart, Florida, on April 26, 2025, the Terra Fermata Tiki Bar transformed into a time machine, whisking a crowd of over 500 fans back to the legendary 1971 Fillmore East concerts. Brothers After All, the premier Allman Brothers Band tribute act hailing from Southeast Florida, took the stage for a meticulously crafted recreation of the iconic live album At Fillmore East in their first set. What unfolded was nothing short of a magical performance that captured the raw energy, improvisational genius, and soulful blues-rock essence of the original Allman Brothers Band, leaving attendees buzzing with nostalgia and awe. Terra Fermata, with its open air tiki vibe, palm trees swaying under string lights, and a stage backed by the Florida sunset, proved to be an unexpectedly perfect setting for this tribute. The venue, known for hosting eclectic acts from reggae to jam bands, was packed wall-to-wall by 8 PM, with fans spilling onto the outdoor patios. Drawing a diverse crowd: die-hard Allman aficionados in their 60s and 70s, younger jam-band enthusiasts discovering the classics, and even families introducing the next generation to Southern rock royalty. The atmosphere was electric, fueled by cold brews and the anticipation of hearing those timeless tracks come alive. Brothers After All kicked off the set with Statesboro Blues, the opener from At Fillmore East, and immediately set the tone with dual guitar harmonies that echoed Duane Allman and Dickey Betts' legendary interplay. Lead guitarist Pete Quigley channeled Duane's slide guitar wizardry with precision, his fingers dancing across the strings in a way that felt both reverent and innovative. Opposite him, rhythm guitarist Dave Lasman delivered Betts' melodic lines with fiery passion, their chemistry evident in extended jams that stretched the song well beyond its album length, much to the crowd's delight. The band didn't just play the album; they embodied it. Drummer duo Mike Loschiavo, Hosny “Hoz” Franck along with Mitch Fine on percussion replicated the thunderous percussion of Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe, locking into grooves that pulsed with organic rhythm. Bassist Will Keehner held down the low end with Berry Oakley's funky precision, while keyboardist/vocalist Lefty Hathaway nailed Gregg Allman's vocals and Hammond B3 organ swells. Highlights included the epic 23-minute rendition of "Whipping Post," where the band's improvisations ventured into psychedelic territories, and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," which featured a jaw-dropping drum solo that had the audience on their feet. What made this show truly unbelievable was the attention to detail. Brothers After All used period accurate gear to recreate the warm, analog sound of the original recordings. They played the album in sequence, complete with the between song banter and crowd noise cues that fans know by heart. By the time they closed with You Don't Love Me, the tiki bar felt like Fillmore itself, alive with cheers and applause. Audience reactions were overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees praising the band's authenticity and energy. Here's a roundup of remarks from attendees we spoke with post-show: Tom H., 68, from Palm Beach Gardens: I've seen the real Allmans back in 72, and these guys nailed it. The guitar duels were spot on it felt like Duane was up there smiling down. Best tribute I've ever seen! Sarah L., 32, from Jupiter: I'm new to the Allman Brothers, but this show hooked me. The jams were endless and so hypnotic. Over 500 people dancing under the stars! Unforgettable. Brothers After All made me a fan for life. Mike and Lisa R., a couple in their 50s from Stuart: We come to Terra Fermata all the time, but this was next level. The crowd was huge, but the vibe was intimate. Stormy Monday gave me chills the vocals were pure Gregg. Kudos to the band for keeping the spirit alive! Emily K., 25, from Miami (visiting family): As a Phish fan, I love long jams, and this delivered. The energy was insane; everyone was singing along. Wish they would tour more; I'd follow them like the Deadheads do! Anonymous fan overheard in the crowd: This wasn't a cover band; it was a resurrection. With that many people packed in, it could have been chaotic, but the sound was crystal clear. Epic night! Minor quibbles: The outdoor venue meant occasional wind affecting the sound mix early on, and with such a large turnout, lines for drinks were long during set breaks. But these were footnotes in an otherwise flawless evening. Brothers After All proved why they're considered one of today’s top tribute acts, blending respect for the source material with their own flair. If you're a fan of classic rock, jam bands, or just great live music, catch Brothers After All show "
