"There are simply no words to describe Wayne - he's the man! We had our wedding in a fire station, and Wayne made the night a HUGE success! His interaction with the guests was top notch, and when the groom, best man and groomsmen started to do a mock striptease, Wayne played "The Stripper" - The crowd was in fits of hysterics! Certainly a man that knows what being a DJ is all about - I'd be surprised if he didn't write the book. Absolutely brilliant performance from a DJ that knows how to read a crowd and adapt to anything on the spur of the moment."

"Leighton was fantastic to work with on our wedding day. Leighton was very thorough; from liaising with other vendors (musicians, venue manager etc), to ensuring all the equipment was set-up and ready when required and then later packed down. He was easy to communicate with before and during the day and was always approachable/ available. We both highly recommend Leighton's service for our Wedding day sound needs"

"Julian played the guitar at our wedding ceremony in Port-Vendres, France, and catered to our every need, from playing Latin music as guests arrived, to accompanying a family friend who sang on the day. He arrived early to set up and rehearse, and was very professional. From our very first interaction, Julian was so responsive and easy to deal with. He shared recordings of the songs in advance of the ceremony which was much appreciated. As we were organising the wedding from Ireland, it was great to be able to place our trust in Julian and rely on him for our special day. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed Julian’s music and I would highly recommend him to anyone planning an event! "

"Incredibly accommodating artists and very professional. We were lucky enough to have the pianist and saxophone player duo who were prompt with arrival and set up, and fantastic performers. They added the exact atmosphere with their jazz music, even going the extra mile to learn a very personal, niche song that made walking down the aisle a dream come true!"

"On a beautiful August night JSJBF member band The Gumbo Gum bas, a project that grew out of leader Joe Grillo and his late brother Alfie's love of all things New Orleans, played to an appreciative crowd at Bands on the Beach. This was the second of two shows held on the beach for this summer-long Sunday night concert series, sponsored by the City of Long Branch in association with the JSJBFT. his show gave the band a chance to play live much of the material that can be found on their new CD, "Zydeland," with our own Jill Baskind donning the rub board for a couple of tunes. For those of you who may not get the reference in the title, Zydeco is a southern Louisiana dance music featuring the accordion, rub board and in this case horns. The music on the CD was dedicated to Alfie, who passed during the pandemic, and their mixing engineer, Tim Gilles, who left us during the making of the CD. All of the band members who appeared on the beach are on the record, including Dave Anthony on drums, Vinnie Borselli on trumpet, Joe on tenor sax and vocals, Steve Munter on baritone sax and clarinet, Greg Novick on bass, Steve "Big Squeezy" Rice on accordion and piano and Lars Wendt on trombone. All tunes were written, arranged and produced by Joe except as noted below. The opening title track "Zydeland," begins with the measured beat of the drums and is joined quickly by the accordion, with the horns kicking in as the lyrics invite you to join the band on a journey to this magical, musical place. As with any good Gumbo, it's flavored with local ingredients, in this case a dose of the Jersey Shore sound spices up the mix. "Dance With Me" picks up the beat and is reminiscent in tempo and style to one of Joe's major influences, Louis Prima. If this tune doesn't get you out of your seat, nothing will. "Waiting for the Cane," is dedicated to the crazies who choose not to evacuate, but start the party in anticipation of a hurricane, and party they will to this number. "King Cake" includes lyrics by Joe and music by Steve, was explained to the uninitiated that night as the legendary dessert of Mardi Gras which is said to bring luck and prosperity to whoever gets the plastic baby in their piece. It's a high energy number that gives each member of the horn section a chance to stretch out and strut their stuff, and they made it a highlight of that night and the CD. The recorded version of this song literally jumps out of the speakers. "Can't Go Back To New Orleans" is a moving tribute to Joe's brother, envisioning an ode to the city they both love through the sound of Tom Waits, one of Alfie's favorite artists. I got the chills listening to what starts out as a somber tune but ends in an upbeat fashion, finishing with Frank Rein's tuba. Joe and Vinnie collaborated on the lyrics to the tall tale of "Gumbo Parmesan," a song that's lyrics are as much of a fun dream its title implies. "By the Water'' has that infectious "Congo Square" beat, which is highlighted by Dave's opening drum pattern with accompanying percussion and conjures up a scene of the locals doing a NOLA style tap dance. With lyrics by Ken Morrison and music by Steve Rice, "Drifting Off and Dreaming of You" is a mid twentieth century style ballad, complete with strings, and has Joe in the role of a crooner which he does quite eloquently. A welcome respite from the nonstop party to this point, he sounds like the last man at the bar, smoke curling up from that final cigarette, with drink in hand, thinking about the woman of his dreams. The penultimate song, "Drinks On the House," is another fanciful flight of fantasy which would be loads of fun as an MTV video. Bring on the aliens, it's party time! The final tune, "Why Can't Everyday Be Mardi Gras?," is a fitting end to this party with Steph's clarinet leading the second line followed by the rest of the band with a chorus children along the route singing out the refrain. For this band, every time they start to play it's Mardi Gras. If these songs don't leave you smiling and dancing I don't know what will. Mission accomplished in the fun department as far as I'm concerned."

"What a FANTASTIC evening we had at Toppershoedje with these amazing stars from Uptown. Both our guests and visitors from outside the park had a fantastic evening. The atmosphere and friendliness were more than excellent, and the quality was too. Highly recommended, and we will undoubtedly book this cover band again for the 2025 season. See you soon!"

"Εξαιρετικός επαγγελματίας… Από την πρώτη στιγμή που μιλήσαμε μας έκανε να νιώσουμε εμπιστοσύνη. Μας πρότεινε διαφορά τραγούδια και από τις επιλογές μας κατάλαβε τα γούστα μας. Όλοι οι καλεσμένοι στο γάμο μας χάρηκαν πολύ από την παρουσία του και την συντροφιά που τους κράτησε. Στην επόμενη χαρά μας σίγουρα θα ξανά συνεργαστούμε. Μπαμπη σ ευχαριστούμε για όλα. "

"WOW. Hiring Igor was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He is so easy to work with, reliable, professional, and extremely talented! We hired Igor a year ago as our first vendor to play during our cocktail hour and before our wedding ceremony. He travelled from Niagara to Muskoka for the occasion. We highly recommend him and we are already looking for the next occasion that we can hire him to play at! Thank you so much Igor! -Hil & Ross"

"“an artist of exceptional talent and experience who I had the pleasure of working with last year. To say I was impressed with Jenna as a person as well as an artist is an understatement. Her poise on stage and off enhances the profile of a woman who knows music and knows talent. … very down to earth and knows “the ropes” and how to make her way through the maze of the various facets of the industry. ” – Mike Gormley, L.A.
