Hired as: Blues Band, Classic Rock Band"
Generation Rewind 90's Band
"Amazing is the word to describe this band! Hired for a corporate event, and they did not disappoint! From the lead singer to the keyboard player, I was really impressed with how professional and talented they were. If I am not mistaken, the keyboardist and singer toured for Beyonce and Ceelo Green. The drummer had energy for days, and the bass player and guitar player were very talented. The male lead singer talked to the crowd and had a great voice. I would definitely hire them again."
Versus
"Versus played my 25th class reunion! Their mix of 80s, 90s and current hits were ON POINT! They had our crowd dancing all night! These guys put on a fun show, sound great and are consummate professionals!
Highly recommend!"
Blood Moon Mafia
"We highly recommend Blood Moon Mafia. We hired them for our daughter's 14th birthday party and they were amazing! Incredibly talented group of artists, from the singer to the drummer to the guitarists, they more than delivered. Our daughter curated a playlist for them to use and they put together a very enjoyable mini concert and everyone was blown away. They more than met our expectations and we would definitely hire them again!"
Endless, Nameless
"Where shall I begin… I’ve been a Nirvana fan since 1990, I remember buying their cassette single for “Smells like teen spirit “ at the CVS at my local mall , I was immediately blown away. Unfortunately I was too young to see them live and they have been a favorite band since. I first caught Endless Nameless at a swap meet show earlier this year , I was once again immediately impressed. I’ve since them seen them live several times and let me tell you they bring it!! They do such an amazing job covering Nirvana that my friends and I who are huge Nirvana fans also feel the same. We truly are grateful to have such a talented group of musicians to cover such a classic and timeless band . Thank you Endless.. Looking forward to your next shows.🤘🤘"
