Chris Arpad Solo Steel Drum Entertainment
"Terrific and magical
Having Chris come to my cousin's birthday was one of the best decisions I have made. My family thought he was absolutely perfect and loved his music. My cousin was happily surprised and was thankful for his attentiveness. He arrived promptly, set up, and played for the agreed amount of time. What I found so endearing is that he spoke to my cousin to get an idea of what songs she would like to hear. My cousin has a difficult time speaking due to her brain cancer, but Chris was very kind and took the time to understand her.
I would definitely keep him in mind for future events."
Reckless Summer
"If you're looking for an electric and fun-filled night of music, Reckless Summer is a must-see! From the moment they hit the stage, it's clear that this band isn’t just about recreating Bryan Adams’ hits—they bring a vibrant energy that makes the classics come alive with great vocals, tight rhythms and soaring guitar solos."
Prince Tribute

Groove 'N Motion
"Groove 'N Motion performed for our wedding in August 2021 and they were incredible at every level. GnM had excellent communication, were affordable, were accommodating and understanding, played an amazing and wide-ranging setlist, and rocked with high energy all through the night. Our wedding guests, young and old, have said over and over how much they loved our dance floor and that GnM was the best wedding band they had ever seen. We agree and could not recommend them any higher.
Scott, our main point of contact, was very communicative and accommodating, including when we had to reschedule our wedding because of covid. He also had a great ability to give advice and perspective from GnM's significant experience playing weddings and large events while still taking our more specific requests to heart. For example, GnM offered a range of modern and classic songs on a designated setlist but also enabled us to make many of our own requests of favorite songs not on their list. They also allowed us to send family to see them rehearse before we booked them because we at the time lived out of state. And they traveled from Denver to our venue in Salida, CO and were great sports about making the trip.
It is important to make clear that GnM is not just a random group of musicians who are occasionally pulled together to play a wedding (like we discovered many commercial wedding bands can be). Groove 'N Motion is a true band with great continuity and a range of talents. It's clear they love playing music together and have fantastic rapport.
GnM was amazing during our reception. They have their own sound mixer, who helpfully made sure the music never got too loud for our older guests. They played approx 3.5-4 hours for our reception and kept everyone out on the dance floor. The only problem we had was that so many guests wanted to stay for the music that everyone waited to take the last shuttle home!
GnM was also excellent for our ceremony songs (a couple songs for guest seating, processional, and recessional) and provided a nice jazz quartet during our cocktail hour.
These guys are talented and have range. Being able to rock a country song that is a family favorite and then soon after play some true funk hits is not something just any band could pull off. GnM did it without any problem. If you want to make sure that you have a wedding band that can perform songs in your setlist for all your guests to enjoy, look no further than Groove 'N Motion. You will not be disappointed."
Groove Nation Orchestra
"Dave and the band were incredible for our wedding. They had the dancefloor packed and jamming the entire time they played. Every song they played sounded great; the overall talent of the band was evident. We would HIGHLY recommend GNO for someone else's wedding, they played a great list and the special dance songs were top notch! Literally dozens of our wedding guests told us that night and the following day how awesome a band they were and how great the party was, and we completely agree! Thanks again to Dave and GNO, you guys helped make our special day even more memorable!"
