LoVeSeXy tribute 2 the music of PRINCE
"This group is over the top good. I see a lot of tribute bands at the Riviera Theater in North Tonawanda and I believe this tribute band is amongst the BEST tribute bands out there. The female guitar player and sax player are great. I can’t wait to see them again, and that Prince/ Morris Day guy really has the moves. See them if you can, it will be a great time."
Corey Rieman and The Dilemma Band
"How do I get across how good this band is. Everyone is so talented. And the lead singer has a talent and a charisma that is unique, real and wholly impressive. His voice is so genuine and so pleasantly different. Lead guitar dude rips. Just absolutely rips. Rhythm section crushed it at full groove level. Drummer is crisp and on it , bass is always on point. The woman on tambourine added such a nice flavor. Hired for an outside town event. Everyone loved the band. Everybody. It’s a no brainer"
Bosco and the Storm
"I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING BOSCO AND THE STORM FOR OVER 17 YEARS! OUR FAMILY HIRED TALENTED BOSCO FOR MY MOTHER'S 89TH BIRTHDAY PARTY. YOU ARE CRAZY IF YOU HIRE ANY OTHER BAND OTHER THAN BOSCO AND THE STORM! THEY DRESS IMPECCABLY, CAN REALLY DANCE, THEY CAN ENTERTAIN ANY CROWD FROM YOUNGER THAN COLLEGE AGE TO YOUR MORE MATURE AUDIENCE INCLUDING 90 YEAR OLDS WHO LOVE TO DANCE INCLUDING MY MOTHER! SUCH TALENTED PROFESSIONALS!"
The Virtual Band nyc
"The Virtual Band gave one of the most memorable concerts I have ever seen…
There was no better proof of the universal appeal of this band than the packed and diverse house."
Xtreme Queen
"These guys from New York were all they were cracked up to be. Their performance on the Will Rogers Stage in Tulsa on Sept. 8, 2024, was superb. This was the closest thing to being at an original Queen Concert starring founder Freddie Mercury, with a comparison in real time offered by the archival video footage of Freddie projected on a large screen behind the drummer while our re-enactment "Freddie" performed in synch with the video. Stefan Thomas has an uncanny resemblance to the late Freddie, especially in costumes and makeup, and his moves were perfect. Our audience loved the concert. I've seen other Queen tributes, and this was by far the best. We thoroughly enjoyed hosting this group. They were a lot of fun to work with and were gentlemen, all very professional and talented. - President and Producer, Will Rogers Stage Foundation."
