"I can not say enough good things about J. Baxter and the Sauce! They have amazing energy and a great playlist. Thanks to them, all of our guests were on the dance floor and had a wonderful time. I would recommend J. Baxter and the Sauce to anyone looking for a fun, up tempo band for their event. Tyler "

"Frank De Blase, Roch City News Sometimes it all just falls into place. The setting, the situation, the scene, the tone -- everything is going your way. That describes last night for me. And at the heart of this mid-week Xanadu was the Rick Holland Uptown Orchestra, a modest, brass-centric outfit led by the trumpet-blowing Holland that swung with equal parts effervescence and laid-back cool at Lovin Cup. And come to find out, five of his Hollands regular guys were sidelined, and the holes on the bandstand were plugged with subs --- hired music muscle like Po’ Boy Erik Jacobs on the slide trombone. By the time the Orchestra heaped on a helping of Count Basie, there was nowhere else I wanted to be. I dragged my mom out in the cold for this show and she was thrilled when they stomped on the Savoy. Holland led the affair with a relaxed air, coaxing more than conducting under his porkpie lid. He went around the bandstand numerous times so every cat there got his fair shake, including pianist extraordinaire Bill Dobbins. This is one sweet band, yes, yes "

"The Latin Lovers are amazing!!! Not only are Juan and Vern gifted musicians, but they also share something much more important when they perform, they share a genuine love of music and life. The Lovers are among the greatest acts performing today in that they are consistently able to make every single person at their show feel completely welcomed in. They exude a passion and joy that brings everyone right in and they will make you feel that there is no separation between performer and audience. They are guaranteed to lift your spirits and get you moving and shaking."

"Dan and his band was amazing I threw my wife a surprise 10 year cancer remission party and found Dan Olivo on GigSalad. Soon as I talked to him I knew he was the right person for this special event. He definitely provided a memorable night and was the highlight of the party. I would recommend him without any reservations and can't wait to see him perform again."

"I have received many compliments from school principals, teachers and students and the like on the balance of your program and how the students enjoyed the musical performance. As you could tell by the applause and the respectful attitude of your audience of 1400 members, the quality of your performance was professional and highly entertaining. It proves when you put superior performers in front of an audience, fine behavior and educational goals are met and rewarded! Thanks again on a fine concert performance.
