"Amazing talent and loved having these guys play at Rumors Nite Club in Urbana back in the 90’s. Can’t wait to see them together again!!!"
Almost Aldean
"I hired Almost Aldean to perform for a fundraiser for a local Fraternal Order of Police concert, The band was great and Shayne was excellent as a Aldean tribute. They were very entertaining, kept the audience involved and every person in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the concert. I would highly recommend this band if you are looking for a fantastic Jason Aldean tribute band." -Waive Sharp, OwnerAgent"
