"We hired West Coast to play at our wedding in June - they are absolutely sensational. Our wedding guests that hadn't heard West Coast play before were blown away and still talking about how amazing they were. We have experienced West Coast several times before, at my brother's wedding and at other venues on Lefkada, and for us it was a no-brainer, we had to have them at our wedding as they are so talented, so fun and we knew they'd be the perfect fit. I booked the band through the lovely Danae, she was super easy to talk to you and make all the arrangements, and then she dealt directly with the taverna regarding setting up to take the stress away from me! Everyone loved the band so much that they continued to play well past their allotted time, for which we are so grateful! I sent Danae a few suggestions of the kind of songs we like, and she took it and ran with it and song after song was just perfect, we danced all night long, as did pretty much all of our guests too - it's all that we wanted and more... Already thinking about what our next event can be so I can book West Coast again! Thank you West Coast!"

"Cassie, Las Vegas, NV. Mar 20 2024 9:13 AM Jon, you don't know how much your music/ministry helped me growing up in a mostly caucasian church in Las Vegas from the late 80s and into the mid 90s. Your blue-eyed soul singing helped me get through some tough times growing up in a poor neighborhood with a mentally ill stepfather. I remember when you came twice to Dove Ministries/Huntridge Theater. I was so excited! Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you. I still listen to all of your music to this day. I'm almost 50 years old now and your music still rings true. My favorite song is "Call on My Love". Stay encouraged and I look forward to hearing more music from you. The generation behind me needs to hear more from you Jon. You have more to give! I really believe that! Stay blessed. "

"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! "

"We couldn’t be happier with Jacky and the other band members. From the moment we initially enquired right up until our day Jacky was easy to reach, polite and helpful. On the day we were blown away, they played absolutely brilliantly and I felt like they never stopped the whole day. They came smartly dressed too so looked the part! Thank you so much Jacky and the band for making our wedding so special. If you are thinking of booking, don’t think, do it and I promise you will not be disappointed!"

"Review received on 7/18/2026 Amazing - the star of our wedding reception! Kenneth traveled all the way to Eagle Bluff Ranch in mid-Missouri for our wedding, and hiring him was one of the best decisions we made. I had never been to a wedding with a live saxophonist before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The moment I heard him playing during cocktail hour while we were outside taking photos, I knew we had made the right choice. Kenneth is incredibly talented, professional, and so personable. His energy was contagious, and he created such a fun, elegant atmosphere that our guests absolutely loved. He played throughout cocktail hour and into our reception, and every single song was performed flawlessly. He knew exactly how to read the crowd and kept the energy going all evening. We had countless guests come up to us throughout the night and afterward telling us how amazing he was and how much they enjoyed having a live saxophonist at the wedding. He truly made our cocktail hour and reception unforgettable and added such a unique touch that elevated the entire celebration. If you’re considering booking Kenneth for your wedding or any special event, don’t hesitate, you will not regret it. He exceeded every expectation we had, and we can’t recommend him highly enough"

"Wow - Kate was awesome. Such a lovely person and fabulous voice! I hired her for my husband's 60th birthday party in our back garden and she was perfect for the event. She went with the flow of the party - background effect at the start when people were arriving and saying hello, to getting louder and more upbeat as the party livened up. Loads of people asked me where I booked her from and commented on how great she was. I would definitely book Kate again. Thank you Kate - you were a very valuable ingredient at the party that made the event a fantastic success."

" Rev. Ferriday And The Longdogs, Unforgettable Trues and Everyday Lies. Album Review. Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * As Donald Rumsfeld once said, so famously causing the scratching of heads in consternation and dismay, “There are known knowns and unknown knowns…” yet somehow such double talk and heroic word play should be left to Rev. Ferriday and The Longdogs, for in their new albumUnforgettable Trues and Everyday Lies, the lyrical force of nature is far and away more direct, succinct and wonderfully managed than anything a politician could scramble together. Unforgettable is a mark that deservedly belongs to the band, the memorable and the cherished going hand in hand as their deep love of the Blues comes bounding across with enthusiastic vigour and in the case of this new album, with a darker edge, with an anger of the age attached to it, still very much enjoyable but somehow more threatening, more beautifully intimidating and yet at the same time never once wavering in its commitment to allow the listener to internally dance and shake loose; the Devil after all will always allow the angels to boogie on down. Everyday lies, whether those we tell ourselves to keep us going in the face of adversity or those we pronounce to others in order to impress or deflect our feelings, each one has its symbolic value; the same is said for the true-isms, the emphasise on what is clear and unvarnished, perhaps even understated, yet at all times striking and rich. Unforgettable Trues and Everyday Lies allows the freedom of movement within the confines of Blues to be explored and with Neil Sadler on bass, Scott Hunter on drums, the fabulous Owen Bray on harmonica and Else Black lending some terrific backing vocals, Rev. Ferriday captures the mood with pin-point accuracy. In tracks such as Broken People, Breaking Down, Shooting From The Hip and How Long, the music is contagious, it sweeps through the veins like a miniature train buffeting against stereotype intuition and scraping down in blocks of perpetual indifference with ease. This is an album that emphasises the battle in the way that words are seen and felt, it takes a writer of absolute skill to make a menacing note come across as nothing less that beauty personified and yet Rev. Ferriday manages with absolute conviction. A joy to be back in the company of Rev. Ferriday and The Longdogs, a fact of life that gets better and better each time they come around. Ian D. H"

"Have seen this band twice now at Telfords wharehouse in Chester. They create a brilliant atmosphere that just gets the crowd dancing, you just can’t stand still. They are superb musicians and can’t wait to see them again when they’re back in Chester in May!"
