"Danger Zone put on a fantastic performance at our recent 80s themed fundraising event for Alzheimer Scotland in Aberdeen! From the outset it was hit after 80s hit leaving everyone very impressed by the quality and standard of their show. One of the couples even approached them to play at their wedding as they enjoyed it so much! Natalie and the the band pulled out all the stops and made it an excellent night to remember. Danger Zone are highly recommended and ‘simply the best’ way to enjoy the 80s classics with a live band! "

"Derrick and Lovisa are extremely talented musicians with a very refined sound and great skill.They bring energy to their sets especially with their Jazz renditions of songs which are amazing but can also create a calming atmosphere with more soulful covers also. I highly recommend them for your next event or wedding!"

"I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Ixeis Afixeis perform, and I can confidently say they deliver an outstanding show every time. The band’s professional approach and incredible musicianship, especially the bouzouki solos, leave a lasting impression. Whether it’s a wedding, festival, or private event, Ixeis Afixeis creates a festive and authentic Greek atmosphere. Based in Thessaloniki, they are a must-see for anyone wanting to experience the heart of Greek music!"

"Nadine is extremely professional and engaging with her audience. It was a pleasure working with her On Holiday Joy at the Apollo and SpongeBob on Broadway Viacom's "Upfronts" . I'm looking forward to the next time we can work together again."

"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! "

"Peter VerEecke skinny-hipped, pouting lipped lead singer of the band Streetfighter says he knows he is not Mick Jagger, but he is uncertain if his audiences are aware of the difference, especially when they leap on the stage at him and grab his scarf and tie and shout Mick, Mick – Andrew J. Edelstein, New York Daily News"

"Highly Recommended! I found Stephan Kane on Gig Salad while browsing for our Wedding Musician. I was looking for someone affordable, reputable, personable, a little rustic, and talented (of course!) - Stephan was all of those things! I was a little wary of hiring someone on Gig Salad without meeting them first so I asked Stephan to meet my fiancé and I at Starbucks. The meeting went great! He answered tons of questions, made me feel at ease, and showed us samples of his music. It was a no brainer, we HAD to have him at our wedding! Stephan is also very flexible with his music. He gave us a list of songs he normally plays but also said if there was a song we absolutely loved, he would learn it! I thought that was such a generous offer! We ended up sticking with selections from the list he gave us and I was very specific: this song for the bridesmaids, this song for me down the aisle, this for the kiss, this for the walk out..etc. On the day of the wedding everyone was late due to unexpected traffic (and he was very apologetic afterwards) but all that mattered to me was that he was there before me and he was so no worries Stephan! We started the ceremony about 45 minutes late due to the traffic and Stephan was nice enough not to charge me for the delay. The ceremony went great. He played everything beautifully and followed my specific instructions. We received tons of compliments about him afterwards! I highly recommend Stephan for your musical needs! Our day wouldn't have been complete without him!"

"Hi Tony (UK Bee Gees). I’m Margaret writing to Thank you once more for the time of my life. The review you sent us is a very good one, it praises your show to detail. It says the show was exceptional and what impressed the writer most was that the UK Bee Gees tribute band had such great voices and that it was difficult to believe that they are not the real group and I totally agree. Believe it or not they even mentioned me and how I had won the competition as the biggest Bee Gee Fan in Malta and got to spend the weekend with you in Gozo.
