"The Innocent were absolutely fantastic at our wedding from the acoustic set to the performance during the evening reception. All the guests commented how talented they were and how much they enjoyed them. The selection of songs suited a range of ages, so there was always something for everyone to enjoy. Adam, in particular, was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole wedding process and was always so helpful in answering any questions I had. He made everything so stress free and I appreciated that very much! I would highly recommend these guys to anyone who might be thinking of booking them for a wedding! You won’t be disappointed! :)"

"Nadia Koz played as a solo performer at our sisters birthday party at our house in the large backyard. She was on time to set up, was really kind and fun to talk to, and started exactly when she was supposed to. Her song choice somehow fit perfectly for the vibe we wanted, and she used some crazy guitar pedals, and was able to sound like a bunch of people playing instead of one. No complaints, it was the best hire we could've had."

"If you’re looking for a band for any kind of function or event, stop looking and just hire Bassline Studios. They played at our wedding recently and were just incredible. From creating intimate moments in our ceremony, to a relaxed vibe during our cocktail hour, to the best dance party at our reception - they did it all. I’ve never seen a band engage with a crowd so much, as what they did with us all on the dance floor. They helped us have the most amazing night, and our guests are still raving about how great they were. I knew this band was going to be great though even before the night. Sometimes you meet people and get such a good feeling from them that you just know you can trust them to do a good job. Bernadette was like that for us. She was a delight to meet with prior to the wedding, and was so lovely and flexible with us, as we had to navigate through 3 wedding attempts due to COVID. We can’t thank her enough for her genuine care and enthusiasm that she gave us for our wedding. I cant recommend Bassline Studios highly enough."

"My wife and I hired The Smooth Criminals for our wedding party last month and we simply could not have been happier that we found them! Absolutely everyone at the party commented on how great they thought the band was. Their communication right up to the day was excellent and they were very graciously accommodating of our set requests. Please be assured that you need not look any further for a band for your event - you won't find any better. Thank you so much again to The Smooth Criminals, whenever we have an anniversary party we'll book you again in a heartbeat!"

"We booked Squid lips to perform at our ‘day after party’ which we did at Hotel du Lac in Montriond last Sunday. Kinsey was so helpful in the run up - he also took the time to make sure he knew exactly what kind of vibe we wanted for the day. Not only are they all very talented musicians but they are so much fun to have around! They played a great set whilst our guests were eating/drinking/getting over their hangovers from the night before, then they notched it up afterwards and really got the party started again. Not only did we love the performance but our whole party was up dancing and singing along. They were so accommodating to our requests, seriously entertaining and just lovely people! We cannot wait to see them again soon and wouldn't hesitate to book them in the future. Thank you so much Squid Lips for being part of our special weekend xxx"

"We saw Tunehead live at the Upton Fringe Festival 2022 and they were incredible! They all worked so well together and sounded fantastic. An engaging and talent filled performance. So if you know they are nearby, get yourself down there ready to dance and enjoy yourself as you hear some top class funky jazz from all over the world."

"What an amazing evening we had! Thank you so much Guy. Please pass on our thanks to the rest of your band. They got people dancing who would normally be interested spectators! We have had several messages this morning saying how well it all went. What a blessing I heard about you!! "

"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! "

"What a show! I'm 45 years in the restaurant/banquet business and I can honestly say Steve "Elvis" Gold was the best entertainer we've hired throughout the decades...his Elvis portrayal and show surpassed all of our expectations...he delivered on everything he promised. We had 80-100 attendees who thoroughly enjoyed the party and are still thanking us for inviting them to "best party" they've ever been too. To top everything off...he brought out a surprise guest...THE beautiful Marilyn Monroe! Marilyn sang Happy Birthday to the guest of honor, among other songs. It couldn't have been a more perfect evening. We are located at Los Angeles harbor and they arrived early all the way from Las Vegas to set up and prepare...VIVA ELVIS & MARILYN ❤️ We wouldn't hesitate to hire you again "

"MOTA played a birthday party for us and were brilliant. The communication before the event with Dom was great and they were happy to work with the timings we needed and be adaptable on the night. They arrived on time and were all set and ready to go. The music was brilliant and they had us all on the dance floor by the end of the night."

"Rudy was truly one of the highlights of our wedding day! From our very first contact, everything was professional, friendly, and effortless. On the day itself, he exceeded all of our expectations. His saxophone performance created an incredible atmosphere and added something truly special to our celebration. Whether during the more emotional moments or later on the dance floor, he perfectly understood the mood and elevated the whole party."
