If you guys didn't hear it enough from everyone there... but the band was incredible! Everyone was raving about how amazing you were. We were so so happy with how everything went.
Thank you again!

Kevin & the Kitchen Sink
"Kevin & the Kitchen Sink was a pleasure to work with from the moment we contacted them. They created a perfect playlist, including a specially requested song (my parent’s first dance song from 40 years ago!) and the band was incredible! The crowd was on the dance floor the whole night. We couldn’t have been happier with this band and would highly recommend them. Thank you Kevin & the Kitchen Sink for such a great party!"
Good To Go
"Perfect for our event. Flexible and engaging
We had a wonderful time with Mike and Suzanne celebrating our parents 50th wedding anniversary. They were very responsive, flexible, reasonably priced, and even took some requests for specific songs. They also did a great job interacting with the crowd and even inviting some more of the brave guests to join and sing along for a few songs. Thank you to you both for a wonderful experience.
