"I just want to say a BIG thank you for last Saturday. Dunstable Live was a huge success and that was in part due to your band. We had over 1000 people attend which as the weather was so horrendous was a surprise. But everyone left with smiles on their faces."

"Interestingly, this unique saxophonist is able to play a variety of genres. He can charm you with flamenco flames on the saxophone, play blues and jazz for cocktails or go country with the strings. Or dabble in rockabilly and funk."

"We chose the Dona Ofélia group to entertain at our civil wedding and reception. They were incredible: after just one meeting, they understood exactly what we wanted and even adapted one of the songs to work for our entrance into the ceremony, just as we had imagined. More than just friendliness and professionalism, Dona Ofélia brought a special vibe to our day that more than met our expectations. Thank you so, so much!"

"I chose the choir packs at the church and band at Dona Ofélia's farm, and after watching and listening to many bands/choirs, these were the ones I liked the most right away because of the care they took in choosing songs and the friendliness they showed. They always made us feel at ease and any questions that arose (the kind you have when the date is really approaching) were immediately resolved with complete professionalism. All the guests praised the choir in the church, as they were simply divine with all the melodies, and at the farm, the band got everyone excited and dancing, providing a moment of fun and live music that was exactly what we were looking for on our day! Without a doubt, Dona Ofélia was another great choice for the long-awaited day ☺️"

"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 "

"I am so glad I reached out and found this performer. Elvis was amazing. By far exceeded my expectations. I want to thank Elvis for making my mom the focus of the night and providing such a detailed and engaging experience. This performance by far was the highlight of the night and everyone had such an amazing time singing and dancing along with the king!!!"

"L’efficacité de la musique dans les cinq films de Quentin Tarantino a beaucoup à voir avec la façon dont il perçoit la musique. Tarantino pense que les chansons en général fonctionnent comme des films miniatures. Il regarde la musique comme un moyen de prolonger les intrigues de ses films. La bande originale a la responsabilité non seulement de donner le ton de la scène, mais aussi d'apporter de la clarté aux émotions qui ne sont pas pleinement exprimées par les personnages. Tout cela fonctionne de manière transparente parce que Tarantino entend d'abord la chanson, puis écrit une scène autour d'elle. Il n'est donc pas surprenant que la musique ait un impact si remarquable dans ses films. Comment la musique affecte-t-elle la façon dont on perçoit les films de Tarantino ? Il est vrai que toute musique fera réagir le spectateur émotionnellement, mais ce qui compte pour Tarantino, c'est que, la plupart du temps, la musique produit ce qu'il perçoit comme l'impact émotionnel «approprié» sur une scène. Par exemple, si quelque chose d'autre que "Stuck in the Middle With You" avait été choisi pour accompagner la scène "du coupage d’oreille" dans Reservoir Dogs, le public n'aurait peut-être jamais connu les tendances sadiques de Mr Blonde. La clé du succès de Tarantino en évitant la musique perçue comme juste «suffisante» est qu'il écrit tous ses scénarios de film avec une musique spécifique à l'esprit. En étant déterminé dans sa sélection, Tarantino s'assure que la musique de Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol.1 et Kill Bill Vol. 2 joue un rôle actif dans la structure narrative du film et, tout aussi important, qu'il fait quelque chose dont le public voudra se souvenir. Ce sont ces souvenirs que souhaite faire resurgir chez le spectateur les membre de Call me Winston. Cet orchestre « tribute band » nouvellement créé sur la Côte d’Azur est unique dans la Région Sud. Avec ses 10 membres, (chanteur, chanteuse, guitare, basse, batterie, percussion, claviers trompette, saxophone alto, saxophone baryton), il vous remémorera les meilleurs moments de films de Tarantino à travers leur bande son.
