"Roxana participó en nuestro evento cultural y su actuación fue uno de los momentos más destacados de la programación. Su propuesta artística combina técnica, sensibilidad y una identidad muy personal que logra emocionar desde la primera nota. No solo destacó por la calidad musical, sino también por su presencia escénica y su capacidad de transmitir una narrativa a través de la guitarra. El público quedó profundamente impresionado, generando un ambiente de escucha atenta y conexión real. Además, su profesionalidad en la coordinación previa y durante el evento fue impecable. Una artista con un gran potencial y una propuesta sólida y auténtica. (10 / 10)"

"A massive thank you to the guys for Saturday night. There has been amazing feedback and I think that the dancefloor being full for the entire night is testament to how good you were."

"Jahangir performed for one night at our Cafe since we had a musical night. Everyone loved his music and we had a full house the entire evening! We are in contact with him and will definitely book him again in the future. Happy to see he has posted his portfolio on this website so that he can share his wonderful music with the rest of the world as well, best of luck to you! "

"Hired this excellent band for my wedding and they did not disappoint. They performed a great variety of songs that had people up on the dance floor all night. I would definitely hire these guys again if I were having a big enough party, or failing that see them perform in London would be great."

"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! "

"I had the pleasure of booking Party Train as a performer for the 2024 "TEN TEN TEN" 5 day music and arts festival I produced with the nonprofit organization, TEN TEN NYC. Party Train was one of the best and most professional acts I booked for the festival. They had a great energy and setlist that the crowd loved and formed a dance circle too. Wherever they are, they are gonna give the people a good time. I highly recommend them."

"Wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone. Harrison communicated really well beforehand. They came up with the perfect set list and were even happy to learn a new song for us - thank you! On the day they were fun, friendly and sounded amazing. The whole party spent the evening on the dancefloor and we couldn't have asked for a better experience."
