The Decades Band
"Review from Laura C. from venue 'The Vineyard At Florence'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So good! So good!
Just heard this band in Florence at the Vineyard! They were amazing! Her vocals were excellent and his guitar playing was incredible! The variety of songs were so familiar and it sounded so good! Would highly recommend them!"
Texas Gypsies
"In a word... FABULOUS! These guys gave us just the sound we needed for our fun Prohibition-theme wedding. It is now two weeks later, and all we keep hearing is "Man, that band was fantastic!" They are worth the asking price (which is very reasonable to begin with!) Steve Curry is a great guy and very easy to deal with. I would recommend them without any reservations."
Vintage Jazz & 70s Solo Singer
"She was great, my residents absolutely loved her and we will be having her back!"
The Anthony S Experience
"Anthony and Jasmine was great to work with. They were on time and flexible once a torrential downpour came and we had to adjust the run of show some. They were even kind enough to let my strolling violinist use their gear when hers started acting up. I would definitely recommend them and use them again if we are back in Atlanta!"
The Joshua Silbert Combo
"We were thrilled to have your music make our Gala such a fun event! Thank you so much!"
Gary Strickland
"Gary has done a few events for me as I am a club advisor to students in college. I would say he is all about performing arts, except for the fact that he is just as good with customer service, and interactions on a business level! If he says he'll do something, he follows through with absolute professionalism.
Mr. Strickland has been a solo performer on the trumpet, a singer, an EMCEE, a set designer , a professional photographer and crowd pleaser.
Should anything unexpected happen, he has the experience and sharp reactions to handle a burgeoning situation without a hitch.
I wish I had the time to simply listen to Gary perform outside of the venues for which I have hired him.
