"Brilliant Hot hot hot!!! The Tudor Arms, North Watford on Saturday 29 June 2019 It was a scorching hot day and evening and we were melting, but try keeping off the dance floor, when you have a hot band playing good music and playing it well. Wife and I had a brilliant evening, listening to and dancing to some great sounds. We definitely hope to see ‘Jukebox’ again soon.... (10 / 10) The Tudor Arms"

"My wife and I saw TMI perform at Union Public House this past Saturday. TMI put on a very entertaining show of a good variety of classic rock. Male and female singers and lots of harmonies! Excellent musicianship on drums, guitars, keyboards, etc. We were sitting at a front row table and the sound level was perfect. Not at all overpowering. All in all, it was a very fun time."

"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! "

"Wow,, very impressed with the show. The song selections and performances are on par with the original artist that did the songs. The bands interaction with the audiance is amazing. The audiance loved when the band members took turns coming off stage and performing with them on the dance floor. What an incredible band. One of the best bands I have watched in tampa in a long time."

"We had JBMAC for my 40th Garden party! It was honestly EPIC! All of my guests are still messaging me now saying it was the best garden party they have ever been to and also asking “who was the DJ and singer” - every tune was a banger and I don’t know one person that didn’t dance out of 80 guests!! THANK YOU!! No need to think about booking JBMAC - just do it xx"

Wow - everyone looked amazing, and you certainly know how to throw a party! It was fate that we met in that pub in December. Thank you so much :)

"Up Til Dawn was absolutely incredible!! My husband insisted that we have a band - and after watching just one promo video from Up Til Dawn we committed! Kari was extremely helpful and professional throughout the whole process. Easy to work with, answered our many questions, and encouraged us to send along any special songs we wanted played. The band not only learned all the songs, they absolutely nailed them at the wedding! The group was lovely as individuals and fit right into our day. And then there music! I was shocked to see how many people were up on their feet and not sitting - even aunts, parents, and older family friends! They made the wedding unforgettable!"
