"I'm so glad I found Black Tie Optional Band in Portugal! We are big country music fans and had our wedding in Braga this past fall. Black Tie Optional Band rocked the house! Our guests were absolutely thrilled to have pop/country music to dance to. Nicole is so easy to work with and worked with us over several months to make sure our song list was perfect. If you're looking for a band to keep your friends on the dance floor, don't hesitate to book these guys!"

"We approached Owen in order to ask if he would perform at a charity night over in York. Owen was delighted to accept and on the night he even altered his set times so the catering staff could stick to their schedule. Always very obliging and his talent is there for all to see. Certainly a rising star on the UK country scene!!"

"If I could give them ten 5 stars I would. They played the best music and brought the best vibe. I now consider them friends and would highly recommend them to anyone. From the kids to my 84 year old grandma, everyone was raving about them!"

"Review received on 9/13/2023 A night to remember with the Jersey SureCats Band! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't say enough about the amazing performance by Jersey Surecats Band at my husband's staff party! They truly went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable night for everyone on the cardiac step down unit. The setting, with the band playing on the elevated covered porch overlooking the beautiful Shark River in Avon by the Sea, NJ, was absolutely picturesque. As the music filled the air, the energy was palpable, and everyone danced the night away on the bluestone patio below. Each member of the band brought their unique talent to the stage, creating a harmonious blend of sounds that kept the crowd moving. Chuck Conlin's guitar skills were nothing short of extraordinary, while Eileen Meara's vocals were simply mesmerizing. Andy Magerowsky's bass guitar added a powerful depth to the music, and Bill Waldron's guitar expertise was the perfect complement to the ensemble. The diverse range of songs they played was a testament to their versatility and musical prowess. From the timeless classics of the British Invasion era to the energetic hits of the 80s, they covered it all. The transition from the Romantics to the Rolling Stones was seamless, and they flawlessly moved through genres, paying tribute to legends like Jefferson Airplane, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and more. But they didn't stop there! Jersey Surecats Band took us on a journey through the 90s, delivering powerful renditions of songs by Pink, Pearl Jam, and Foo Fighters. The Motown and Disco hits had everyone grooving, and their rendition of modern favorites by the Lumineers, Jason Mraz, and Adele showcased their ability to stay current while honoring the classics. What truly set them apart was their dedication to ensuring everyone had an incredible time. They graciously agreed to stay overtime, playing an additional hour because nobody could resist the infectious beats. Not a single person sat down the entire evening, a testament to the band's ability to keep the party alive! Jersey Surecats Band's performance was nothing short of spectacular. If you're looking for a band that can cater to diverse musical tastes and deliver an unforgettable experience, look no further. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Jersey Surecats Band, for making this celebration one for the books!"

Thank you for this review! We definitely try! We'd be happy to see you at another show! The Grants-Milan Municipal Airport manager that hired us says she wants to make it an annual thing with us there for this event! Hopefully we will see you there next time as well! Take care!

"Doug and Jasmine sang for my 50th birthday party. They played a great mix of music getting all ages dancing and even played most of our requests! They are such lovely people who couldn’t do enough for us and seem to enjoy the party as much as we did, which was all we wanted. Memories were made and a great evening was had by all. "

"Jon River and Tessa made my wife’s birthday absolutely unforgettable! From the moment I reached out to Jon, we connected instantly. I shared my vision of surprising my wife for her special day, and despite already having another booking earlier, Jon and Tessa enthusiastically made it happen and joined us for our celebration. Their energy was incredible, and they brought the party to life with their music. Every guest sang along to every song, creating an electric atmosphere. It’s been three days since the event, and friends are still texting me, calling it the party of the decade! Jon and Tessa’s passion for music and genuine connection with the crowd turned the night into something truly epic. My friends and I are already looking forward to jamming with them again, and this might just become an annual tradition! Hats off to Jon and Tessa for sharing their love of music and making the night one for the books. Highly recommend them for any event—you won’t be disappointed!"

"George played guitar and sang for us at the Opryland Hotel for 6 years. We also hired him for studio session work both vocal and guitar. He was a pleasure to work with, always on time, he is a good singer and guitarist. Because he is accurate in the studio, he saved us money."

"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."
