"Phoenix & co is a sick group from pop, jazz, folk and hard rock. The group has an upbeat vibe and Phoenix’s voice matches many settings from small intimate places to larger venues."

"wedding at Forte Da Cruz, Estoril, Portugal “Dynamite is easily the best wedding band we have had the joy of watching perform and we are not just saying that because it was our wedding! All of the members are extremely talented and have a great set list that kept all of our guests entertained and on their feet to the late hours of the night. We had a fairly tight area where the band could set up their instruments however this was no problem whatsoever and they made it work without a hitch! The performance of the vocalist was an absolute highlight of the night for us as he would interact with the guests, sing together with them an make sure everyone felt included and welcomed at our party. We are so grateful we chose them to be our wedding band and we recommend them to anyone looking to add a unforgettable performance to their wedding"

"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!

"Streettino Jazz Band were the best choice for our wedding. The guys are professionals and were able to create a beautiful and very engaging atmosphere (even for those less accustomed to their musical genre). We left the guys a lot of autonomy in choosing the pieces to play and we weren't disappointed! It should be added that Luca was very helpful with the organisation and both he and the other guys were very nice. My biggest regret of the day was missing “The Chicken” by Jaco Pastorius because I was taking wedding photos! Thank you with all my heart!"

"Playing Live Band made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable! From the first song to the last dance, they created the perfect atmosphere with their incredible talent and energy. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the music was, and the dance floor was packed all night! They were professional, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to make our special day even more magical. Eve was amazed and so happy. If you're looking for a band that will bring your wedding to life, look no further. Thank you Liza and Band guys for making our night so special. John & Evelyn"

"I cannot speak enough praises when it comes to hiring the seven band for our wedding. My husband and I booked them about a year and a half in advance, and when covid hit, we had to change our entire plans to accommodate a smaller backyard wedding. The seven band worked so closely with us and helped make sure everything worked out perfectly with all the schedule/location changes. By the end of the night, all 125 of our guests were asking for their info! We even had the neighborhood next to us speak highly of the band on their community watch facebook page! The atmosphere would have been completely different if it weren't for the seven band. They made our wedding day even that more perfect. BOOK THEM!"

""I don't judge any tribute band until I see them "live" ..and the sound quality of LoVeSeXy is superior to ANY other Prince tribute out there ..including the original Revolution!!!" "

"Whether as MD, arranger or instrumentalist (or as is often the case, all three), Simon brings a level of rock-solid professionalism that makes everything a pleasure. His exceptional talents as an instrumentalist go without saying. But he is a dependable and hugely reassuring presence onstage and great fun off it. A real asset to any ensemble.

"We booked Groove Star to help us celebrate a significant family occasion. To say they exceeded our expectations is an understatement. The party was originally booked for 2020 but due to Covid it had to be postponed. Steve was happy to hold the booking for as long as we needed and throughout communication was first rate. On the day, they fitted in with everything else that was happening seamlessly. They provided two sets of one hour each and there wasn't a song that wasn't met with whoops and cheers from our guests. They were also more than happy to accommodate song requests. The band were brilliant and the singers exceptional. I would absolutely recommend that anyone booking Groove Star go all out and book the whole band, with brass section, as it makes a huge difference. Groove Star are definitely up there as one of the best party bands."
