"Perfect. Brazil Flavor Music was exactly what we needed for our event. The duo catered their music and brought the perfect vibe to our reception. In regards to booking, they stayed communicating with me, keeping me updated on any changes. They are very friendly, kind, and humble, and you can tell they love what they do. Musically, they are incredibly talented. Several attendees came to us during our event to compliment the music selection for the afternoon. Lastly, our event was 3.5 hours away from them, yet they willingly drove, arrived early/on time, set up, and were ready to go as soon as the doors opened. We will definitely be hiring them again in the future and we recommend them for sure. Thank you again, Brazil Flavor Music!

"It’s quite possible to stroll right past the place while navigating West Kinzie Street, just a wee bit north of the Chicago River, and not even realize it. The only concrete clue that you’ve arrived at your destination is the sight of a black canvas entrance emblazoned with the curious moniker of the joint. It’s called Untitled, and that handle is purposely nondescript, only adding to the overall mystique of the nightspot. Head down a short flight of stairs, say hello to the doorman (there’s no cover), and you’ll find that Untitled offers a welcoming hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the Loop, which sits only a few blocks south on the other side of the river. During the Prohibition era, speakeasies dotted the Windy City landscape where those so inclined could quaff an alcoholic libation or two while securely hidden away from the long arm of the law. But those long-ago speaks were never this spacious or glamorously appointed. Make no mistake: this is a classy operation all the way, so you won’t spy any tennis shoes or sweatsuits sullying the polished dance floor. When the Rhythm Rockets take the stage at Untitled, as they’ve been doing on the second Wednesday evening of every month for a while now starting at 7:30 p.m. and going strong for three hours, the joint proceeds to jump to a barrage of eminently danceable rhythms. The music meshes perfectly with the delicious food and cool drinks that can be ordered by summoning your lovely waitress. You can dine on such delicacies as steak tartare, sea scallops, and mushroom tortellini, and top your feast off with a scrumptious slice of whoopee pie, a blend of dark chocolate-espresso cake, peanut butter mousse, and powdered sugar. There was a fair amount of dancing happening during the Rhythm Rockets’ most recent Untitled engagement, but most of the sizable crowd was content to soak in the swinging soiree at their tables or from their barstools. The sound quality was exceptionally crisp and full-bodied all night long; Dave Downer’s concise guitar licks sliced through the air with authority, and Nicole Kestler’s delightful vocals were mixed at precisely the right level for maximum enjoyment as she sailed through longtime Rhythm Rockets favorites that included Little Esther’s “Oo Papa Do,” the relaxed pre-war blues lament “Trouble In Mind,” and the band’s scorching arrangement of Ruth Brown’s “(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean” that they often use as a set closer. The sizzling sax section (tenors Michael Bielecki and Vince Salerno and baritone Justin Kierans) was tight and right throughout the evening, and the rock-solid combination of bassist Lou Marini and drummer Mark Fornek kept the grooves hitting on all cylinders. Mark usually sings a song or two on each set prior to Nicole’s entrance, and now he’s previewing a few Chicago blues numbers that he’s also singing with Dave’s new side band, the Five Alibis. Vince switched over to harmonica to give Little Walter’s ominous “I Don’t Play” an authentic Chicago blues sound, although the horns returned when Mark launched into Junior Wells’ playful shuffle “The Things I’d Do For You.” If you’re anywhere near River North on the second Wednesday of this or any month in the near future, take a walk down Kinzie and seek out Untitled, even if you have to look hard for it. It’s altogether worth the effort--and a great place to check out the Rhythm Rockets doing what they do best! "

"I booked Doug and Jasmine for my daughters wedding and concur with all the other reviews already here. They are the total package and we were not only blown away by how good they are as performers, but also how friendly and how considerate they were of our needs and requests. It was such a difficult job finding the right act for my daughters special day, after all she will never forget it, but they were just great and we can't thank them enough. A very charming couple who really know how to put on a show, you don't get many bands who will give the kind of fun atmosphere they do. They were worth every penny and more! Thank you so much to both of you. We hope to one day book you again! "

"We used Fleur and team for the cocktail part of the evening and it was good background entertainment. Fleur has a great tone. I also saw her at a smaller party and she did a good job then."

"We can’t say thank you enough to the Seven Band for making our wedding a night to remember. Choosing them as the band for our wedding was one of the easiest decisions that we had to make and it turned out to be the best one too! CJ was incredible to work with during the entire process. There are many stresses that come with planning a wedding during a pandemic but he was extremely accommodating to our needs which wasn’t the case for many of our other vendors. Our guests were dancing the entire night and would not stop talking about how great the band was! We are so glad that we chose to have the Seven Band perform at our wedding and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone considering using them at their wedding! - Kaitlyn and Brian"

"We hired W!RED as our wedding band, and they were absolutely brilliant. From the moment we booked them, we were in communication up until the big day, and Martin and team could not have been more helpful. The music was great and created the best atmosphere for the evening. Thank you so much!!"

"GET READY TO BE BLOWN AWAY . . . I ran into a Nadine Simmons performance in a large public space on my way home one day. Let's say I skipped one ferry to enjoy the concert. As fate would have it, I was planning a large corporate event in the garden at my home and got in touch with Nadine. Needless to say, it was a spectacular success. This is star power! And, a very lovely human being"
