Freewheelers cello band
"One of the nicest bands in a long time! Watched them in a bar up in the gold country and they made everyone stand up and dsnce including a very old man."
Nipper Brothers
"If you want to experience the music of the Grateful Dead, there are several options available. One is to take in a show by Dead & Company, at the Shoreline Amphitheater or similar venue. I have done it, and it was a blast. Very well done, but very expensive. Go see them if you can. Another way to go is to see the Nipper Brothers, Joe and Scott, with the rest of their band. You can see them at venues all around the Sacramento area. It will cost you a lot less money, but you will still have a blast. The Nipper Brothers bring tremendous talent, dedication, and love for the music. They play it very well."
Crossman Connection
"Kevin Crossmen is a THIEF. He gets paid then never shows up."
Band Saptham
"A fantastic team of superbly talented artists, and what a great performance! Rakhi's voice and singing stand shoulder to shoulder with the original recordings, capturing every nuance and emotion of the songs. The whole band was tight, professional, and clearly passionate about their music. They kept the audience engaged from start to finish. Highly recommended for any event"
