"I cannot recommend Nick enough. We met him at a restaurant one night while he was playing and immediately fell in love with his artistic style and voice. We booked him for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. Our guests still talk about him and ask about him. And it is a special memory for my husband and I because he sang our first dance song. Easy to work with and has the BEST music/voice!"

"This band ROCKED! Not only would I recommend having a band instead of a DJ, in general...definitely use Swiftkick. Thom, the lead singer has an amazing voice. He played acoustically for both my ceremony and cocktail hour as well. My guests were so impressed and we danced all night long. Even people who I thought would not dance, were up rocking out. Swiftkick made my wedding. It would have been no where near as fun if not for them. I would definitely recommend using them for any event....from weddings to holiday parties and everything in between"

"Kelany was my favorite vendor to work with for my husband and I's wedding. She brought professionalism, a full heart, and an incredible voice (!!!) to our special day. To this day, we keep getting compliments from our guests about Kelany and the band. We gave her a list of songs from our pop/punk upbringing + some modern classics to play and the band crushed every single one, including an incredible cover of "Love Me Down" by Ludo that my unhinged husband danced to with his mom. We knew that we wanted a band that we could truly rock out to without all the bells and whistles of your traditional wedding band. Also, they are competitively priced (aka affordable!) compared to other quotes we were getting in Austin. Thank you so much for making our day so magical!"

"BEST Party Ever! - - January 16, 2020 We booked the Josh West Trio for our New Year's Eve Party at a 55+ community. He came and blew us ALL away! I am still getting compliments on the party and the band from that night along with requests for them to come back, and soon! They were polite, came and set up and was ready to go on time and brought great lights and equipment to really give the entire party a great ambiance. They played not only what our age group loves, but newer music and some classics too. They were able to read the room and play a great mix of slow and upbeat dancing music. Normally in our community (even on New Year's Eve), people leave by 8:00 p.m. We had more than half the people stay until the toast at 10:00 p.m. (toasted with New York for an earlier night). He communicated great leading up to the date and asked all the right questions to ensure everything was covered. Thank you Josh for making this party the BEST one we've had!"

"I had the privilege of watching The Band down Under perform live at a wedding that I was attending. From the out set, I was blown away. In my previous experience of the many weddings that I’ve attended, most entrances are boring and cliche and the DJ’s are no better. These guys however brought an immediate energy to the room that I have not seen matched thus far. I’m usually not one to get up and dance at weddings, however they set a mood that I had never seen. The whole floor was up and dancing, without a single butt planted to a seat. It’s a real testament to the bands professionalism , their unique talent and undeniable natural energy they bring. Following the wedding, in conversations had with others, similar things were said which proved to me it wasn’t just the alcohol talking. If my wife and I knew about these guys earlier, we would have hired them for our wedding. My wife actually turned to me during the event and said “They were the missing piece to our wedding”. Although I wish to use them in the future, I’m not planning on getting remarried lol ! However I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone wanting a funky, talented and unique band to make the most of your special day and entertain your guests. It’s important to note that I’m also not one to write reviews as I find most things extremely underwhelming, especially bands. So the fact that I’m writing this says a lot about my experience and the way you guys made me feel on the night."

"Wow! So much fun! Everyone needs more friends like this! Soaring lead vocals with spine tingling harmonies paired with melting lead guitar, keys and to top it all off groove inducing bass and drums. Rent a Friend Band is the whole package and provides something for everyone, with a set list curated from all your favorite hits spanning multiple generations! These fun loving professional musicians are a pleasure to work with. They had our venue popping and we can't wait to have them back."

"Maria Perdiki, known by her stage name Jammaroots, is a talented singer, songwriter and musician hailing from Athens, Greece. Growing up in a musical family, Maria’s passion for music runs deep in her veins. Throughout her career, she has explored various genres through collaborations, but she has found her true calling in reggae. Combining her diverse musical roots, Jammaroots has developed a unique sound that blends reggae with elements of soul, dub, and improvisation. In addition to performing with her band, Jammaroots, she also showcases her skills as an acoustic guitarist and as a reggae selector with live vocals. About a month and a half ago, Jammaroots released their self-titled EP, consisting of six tracks that were recorded live at Wannabizz Studios in Piraeus, Greece. The mixing and mastering of the tracks were done at Studio 10 in Thessaloniki, Greece, focusing on enhancing the heavy bass and delay effects to create a unique dub atmosphere while preserving the live band experience. The powerful sounding EP includes original compositions by Jammaroots, alongside a reggae rendition of Hooverphonic’s Mad About You. Doing a cover of this popular 2000 hit single in reggae style definitely requires a certain level of bravery. Although it may not be among the best tracks, it is still a commendable attempt overall. When it comes to standout songs, the enticing introductory track I Know A Place leaves a lasting impact. Similarly, the thought-provoking song Problems also grabs your attention with its meaningful message. Additionally, Wise Mind, a tune that will make you bob your head, is definitely worth multiple listens, especially due to its surprising twist in its final 3 minutes. This remarkable Jammaroots EP reaffirms that reggae music is a genre that transcends borders and can be created in a notable way by people all over the world."

"W!RED band played for us at our wedding last night. They were absolutely amazing. From our first dance to the final song they kept the dance floor full all night. All of our guests raved about how fantastic they were and their choices of music kept people of all ages dancing all night! During the evening, they checked in with us before they started and also during their break to make sure we were happy with how it was going and if there was anything more they could do for us. They engaged with our guests and gave them all a fantastic evening. From the moment we booked the band, they regularly checked in on us to make sure plans were still going ahead and what sort of music we were looking for and what first dance we wanted to see if they could accommodate that. They did a brilliant job with our first dance and we loved it. If we had any questions they were very prompt in getting back to us and were very approachable and friendly at all times. I would absolutely recommend them for anybody wanting a fantastic band to make your event amazing, be it a wedding or anything else at all! I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again! "
