THE "ORIGINAL" MOONLIGHTERS ®
"We hired the Original Moonlighters for our wedding band, and they were absolutely fantastic! We had a large wedding, with a lot of guests that have different musical tastes, but this band was able to get everyone on the dance floor and brought amazing energy to the wedding. They had a wide set list and made our special day even more fun."

The Chemistry Band
"I’ve seen a lot of live bands, and this one is something special. Chemistry's talent is undeniable, but what really stands out is the way they connect with the audience. From the moment they take the stage, they create an intimate vibe that makes every performance feel personal.
Their blend of Neo-Soul and R&B is smooth, soulful, and full of energy. The musicianship is exceptional, the musical synergy is effortless, and their showmanship keeps you engaged from beginning to end. They don't just play great music—they create an experience that leaves you smiling, singing along, and wishing the night wasn't over.
If you have the chance to see them live, don't miss it. They never disappoint, and they always deliver more than you expect."
Mojo Mothership
""Mojo Mothership flawlessly delivered an extremely tight performance that was definitely one of the musical highlights of this year’s National Cherry Blossom Festival. Professional from start to finish. This group definitely showed the skills, talent and passion to serve up some sizzlin’ Blues. We sure hope to see Mojo Mothership at our festival again!"
Richard Lilliston Jr
"I absolutely love listening to him play his saxophone!! I have hired him to play at our special events at work and for my family events. He knows how to create the perfect list of songs to fit your particular event. We love to see him come in the door and hate to see him leave. We sing along we play the instruments that he provides, it’s just a great experience. 10 out of 10 every time"
