"Hola! Contactamos con ellos el año pasado para nuestra boda y Kaku nos ha pedido que nos pasemos por aquí para dejar una reseña para ayudarlos a crecer. La verdad que el grupo lo hizo fenomenal, los habíamos visto en otro evento y se nos ocurrió llamarlos para nuestra boda y estamos muy contentos, desde las primeras palabras que hablamos hasta el show en sí el trato fue excelente. Los recomendamos!!"

"Thanks for your set at our local community festival over the weekend. It was very well received and it was lovely to see lots of people singing along to all the classics you played. Hopefully you'll be available for us to have on the bill again next year."

" James Porter – Groom “Booking Suzy B was the best decision we made for our wedding. She brought elegance during the day and had everyone dancing at night. Her vocals are powerful but never overpowering—just flawless.” "

"Dos Bandoleros Duo + Flamenco Dancer – Rocking bday party Dos Bandoleros plus a dancer were hired to perform at a backyard party for my mother’s birthday. They were punctual, set up quickly, and started the music on time. They provided a great mix of high energy latin/flamenco songs and the accompanying dancer made it an even better experience and highly recommended, especially if you have kids at your event who like to dance. I would recommend them for situations where you want classy yet rockin’ music that will add some flavor to your party or event. They were fairly priced and well worth the investment for a memorable birthday party."

"Juneteenth with PBSO was powerful and unforgettable.I attended the Juneteenth celebration and PBSO’s set was the highlight of the day. Their performance was more than entertainment; it was a celebration of culture, freedom, and excellence. They brought so much heart and soul to the stage, honoring Black history through every song. The crowd was engaged, the music was rich, and the atmosphere was electric. I felt proud, seen, and inspired. "

"You might expect an album with edgy, teal-lit cover art and the title of The Isolation Blues, by the Mike Goudreau Band, to be either dark and brooding or a real barroom stomper, showcasing the loudest guitar you’ve heard since Jimi Hendrix’s. Instead, from the first notes, you’ll find it’s a peppy ensemble extravaganza with horns galore. More’s the better, too – the Winter Solstice is coming up, and we need an eye-opening blast of sunshine in the middle of it. Smooth, jazzy-influenced, and boasting crystal-clear vocals, it’s a must-play on New Year’s Eve. Born in 1965 in Newport, Vermont, into a musical family with an English mother and a French-Canadian father, Mike Goudreau picked up his first guitar at age 14 and hasn’t stopped playing since. His early influences included the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and later, Albert King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Powder Blues and Downchild – to name a few. Such diverse interests help to explain why Mike is comfortable in so many musical genres, especially jazz and blues. Since 2007, Mike’s songs have been heard on hundreds of network TV shows and films, such as the TV movie The Happiest Season (Hulu), Dynasty (CBS), the Universal Pictures film Dark Waters, the Hollywood film The Banker, starring Samuel Jackson (2020), The Neighborhood (CBS), NCIS Los Angeles (CBS), and Chicago PD (NBC), among several others. Joining Mr. Goudreau (vocals, guitars, bass and hand claps) are Jean-Francois Begin (think Menachem Begin, not “begin”) on drums and percussion, Dany Roy on tenor sax and trumpet, Ira Friedman on organ and piano, and Pascal Veilette on harmonica. You know all the shows and films mentioned earlier? Together, they spell diamond-level QUALITY. That’s what’s been poured into each of the fourteen original tracks on this CD. Every note, every musical phrase, glimmers like the light off one of that gem’s many facets. This is real-deal blues, whether in swing/jump form (as on the opener “Let’s Go Down to the River”), the angsty, harmonica-infused title track, the guitar and piano boogie known as “The Mooch,” or the laid-back instrumental “Sea Breeze Blues.” Any band can crank out an album in their garage or basement and deem it good enough, but not Goudreau and his posse. They care about their offerings like Michelangelo cared about David, or Da Vinci the Mona Lisa. That’s because they’re not just musicians. Not just craftsmen. They’re artists, and don’t you forget it. Got The Isolation Blues? Here’s the cure, or at least the vaccine! "

"Smooth Edge provided the perfect balance of gentle music where required, to the couple’s first dance, to lively fun dance music as the evening developed. Not a remote ensemble but an interactive, joyous and oh so skilful one, who very quickly became friends and part of our reception. The blend of music was perfect and skilfully delivered; the vocals were stunning – with a personality that exuded friendliness and party fun. What sets them above the rest is their skill in interpreting what is needed and delivering that with a relationship with the audience – our wedding guests. I am charged by the bride and groom to ensure I extend their sincere and heartfelt gratitude for the pivotal part Smooth Edge played in their joyous celebrations. I am the proudest of Dads, bursting with love and excitement now that I have a daughter – an excitement added to by Smooth Edge as they soothed away the stresses of wedding organisation and heralded the new life for our children. Guys you were stunning, with the effervescence that every party needs. "
