"Voor ons jaarlijkse gala-evenement kozen we voor Drumpet Disco - DJ Duo. Hun combinatie van live trompet, drums en DJ-sets voegde een vleugje elegantie en energie toe die perfect was voor onze gasten. De feedback was overweldigend positief, en hun professionaliteit maakte de avond soepel en onvergetelijk. Als organisator kan ik Drumpet Disco van harte aanbevelen voor elk prestigieus evenement."

"Groove Nation was unbelievable at our wedding! They could play any song we asked and sounded great on everything. I would highly recommend them for any event. They were great about mixing up the songs and genres depending on what the guests preferred. Almost all the guests even commented to us about how great they were. "

"Niklas made a great impression at our event in Berlin as part of EURO 2024. Consulting with him was definitely an asset, as he contributed his expertise to our planning and we were able to coordinate the performance together. He showed a keen sense of our needs and took them into account excellently in his performance. Musically, he thrilled the audience with his skills and contributed significantly to the successful atmosphere. A professional and talented musician whom we can recommend without reservation!"

"From the very first time I saw/heard this band at the FAIRVIEW PUB I knew they were something special, what sets this band apart from most is the way they play as a seamless unit, great jams that can get you moving on the dance floor and every member of the band is a really nice person that will engage in a conversation with any fan. I have seen them play many many times and each time I leave I am left wanting more and awaiting the next show. If you have not seen this band I suggest you take the time to seek them out and hear what you have been missing"

"John Paul Band performed at our wedding reception and they were absolutely amazing. From the elegant live music during dinner to the incredible party set later in the evening, everything was perfectly balanced. They read the crowd, kept the dance floor full, and created such a joyful atmosphere. Many of our guests asked us where we found this band. Highly professional and truly unforgettable."

"There’s more to Johnny Ticktin than meets the eye. Well-versed in the blues, having once served as lead guitar player for the legendary Louisiana Red, the open-minded Ticktin is a sponge, soaking up the subtle six-string nuances and intricacies of a multitude of genres—from surf to classic R&B, swing and even Mambo—on his eighth album with The Headhunters, That’s All I Need. It would feel right at home in any rough-and-tumble roadhouse. The title is borrowed from a song, covered here in all its dark, swampy glory, off Magic Sam’s 1967 iconic electric blues marvel West Side Soul. Watery, backwoods ripples of Sam’s tremolo guitar style and seductive rhythms meander through Creedence Clearwater Revival’s mysterious kudzu on Johnny & The Headhunters’ version, as Ticktin and company paddle up a lazy river of Bayou groove. Just as fluent in nasty rockabilly, they thrive in the sweltering heat of the 1957 obscurity “Chicken House,” giving it a warm buzz and making it rumble and swagger, while the lascivious, infectious funk of “Body and Fender” – a Doc Pomus/Duke Robillard joint originally built for soul crooner Johnny Adams – shakes all over and ogles the female form. A rousing, boogie-woogie version of Lowell Fulsom’s Chess Records’ hit “Rock ‘Em Dead” is wonderfully shambolic, and Ticktin rides the lightning of the Link Wray instrumental “Ace of Spaces” like a champ, gleefully wheeling through edgy garage-rock riffs with appropriate vim and vigor. What feel he and his band have for this material. There is not the slightest bit of indifference to it anywhere on this record. Not that they need it, but help arrives in the form of keyboardist Tam Sullivan, who wraps smoky, sensual organ and wraiths of piano around a soulful remake of Bobby “Blue” Bland’s “Lead Me On,” and singer Liz Springer, who joins her brazen vocals to Ticktin’s in the cheeky, but charming, duet “Watch and Chain.” And, with the solid machinery of a good backing band at work behind him, Ticktin can just let loose – witness the slide-guitar fury of their cover of Elmore James’ “Shake Your Money Maker.” For aficionados of tasteful guitar work and music that time shouldn’t have forgotten, this is what you need. —Peter Lindblad SPREAD THE NEWS!
