Pitch Black Studio Orchestra
"Roasted turned into a whole vibe with PBSO! I came to Roasted expecting a chill night and PBSO turned it into a full-blown soulful concert. The way they transformed the space with live instrumentation, powerhouse vocals, and their smooth blend of funk, jazz, and R&B was unmatched. The energy was intimate but electric, and the crowd couldn’t get enough. Real music, real talent, real Nashville vibes."

The Ron Smolen Big Band / Orchestra
"Wedding October 14 2023 - University Club - Chicago, IL
Hi Ron,
I've been meaning to shoot you an email.
Thank you guys so much, we had such a wonderful time and were so happy and impressed with the music. With everything going on, there were 2 things about the wedding that made it stand out: the food and the band. Our guests loved the music and it was everything that we could have ever wanted and more.
I really meant what I said about how cool it is that you all play this music and hopefully more people my age appreciate the work that you all do. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. We visit Chicago pretty often so we'll keep tabs on when you play and will come say hello sometime soon.
Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!
-Ryan & Angela"
