"Hi Cameron, Ceri & The Session Band, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your performance on Saturday night. We had an amazing day and you guys and your DJ just topped it off perfectly. I think you could probably see that you smashed it and the dance floor was literally bouncing all night LOL! All our guests said that they had the best evening and you were by far the best band we have all ever heard at a wedding. One of the guests has already referred you to their son who is also getting married at Nanteos Mansions later in the year. We are so pleased with the day so thank you so much and hope you enjoyed playing as well!"

"We worked with Stretto Quartet and would thoroughly recommend them for your wedding. They have a huge repertoire of classical and modern tracks that you can choose from to really carve out the vibe and personality you want for your day. They are also happy to consider other tracks and work with you to source other arrangements as you need. Dan was great at giving advice but also ensuring we made our own decision for the day as it was our wedding. Very easy to communicate with around the event logistics and payment as well. Overall a great experience!"

"Tom Fitzpatrick - the ultimate performer - once heard, never forgotten and in my opinion - often sounds better than the original artists! Fantastic sound, fantastic look and fantastic opportunity for audience participation! Tom Fitzpatrick - better than the rest and one of the very best!"

"Gentilissimo e disponibile. Non avevamo il pianoforte nella location ed ha portato la sua tastiera. Tutti sono stati felici della sua performance elegante e professionale"

"Auf unserer Firmenjahresendveranstaltung trat der Imre auf. Jeder war sprachlos vor Erstaunen, die Show war so gut. So eine gute Live-Show habe ich noch nie gesehen, und soweit ich meine Kollegen beobachten konnte, sie auch nicht. Es war genial!"

"I recently had the pleasure of having an incredibly talented violinist perform at my 40th birthday party, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. From the moment she began playing, her skill and passion for music were evident, captivating everyone in the room. She truly brought an elegant and magical atmosphere to the event, effortlessly blending classical pieces with more contemporary tunes. Her performance was not just a musical treat but an experience that added so much to the overall vibe of the evening. If you’re looking for a way to elevate any occasion, I highly recommend her!"

"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! "

Being part of Don Miguel's 90th birthday celebration was an honor for us; being there at such a special moment made us happy. The music of AS SUITE brought the Swiss and Spanish families together, and being with such special and generous people filled us with energy. You will have friends here forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

"We chose Spicy Sax for our ceremony in the church and for the aperitif. He was professional, helpful and attentive to our needs. Impeccable and exciting in the church, cheerful and sparkling during the aperitif. My guests loved it. We couldn't have made a better choice. Highly recommended!"
