Metropolis Live Music
"The evening was perfect and the music was setting the atmosphere perfectly!
- Vera + Jason Danheiser, Glen Island Harbor Club"
Xtreme Queen
"These guys from New York were all they were cracked up to be. Their performance on the Will Rogers Stage in Tulsa on Sept. 8, 2024, was superb. This was the closest thing to being at an original Queen Concert starring founder Freddie Mercury, with a comparison in real time offered by the archival video footage of Freddie projected on a large screen behind the drummer while our re-enactment "Freddie" performed in synch with the video. Stefan Thomas has an uncanny resemblance to the late Freddie, especially in costumes and makeup, and his moves were perfect. Our audience loved the concert. I've seen other Queen tributes, and this was by far the best. We thoroughly enjoyed hosting this group. They were a lot of fun to work with and were gentlemen, all very professional and talented. - President and Producer, Will Rogers Stage Foundation."
DENSiTY
"Dennis Doyle, an old style rocker with dark sunglasses that he didn't take off all night. He had a calm-cool on song after song with his fine backing band, DENSiTY. I did not know Dennis' material but there was nothing he played I didn't like."
The Third Rails
"The Third Rails absolutely crushed it at my party, bringing an incredible live energy that kept the dance floor packed all night. They are total professionals who turned a great night into an unforgettable experience."
Chris DeRosa Session Drumer
""Hey Chris. Digging your sounds... Nice!!!!" - J. "Barry DIA" Long (Mgr HR/Bad Brains)
"Kill Ass Drumming!" - Roland Ruby (Damn You Roland Ruby!)
"Thanks Chris, you are magic!" - Jason Dennie
"Awesomeness!" - James G Barry"
Sean Kershaw & the New Jack Ramblers
"Sean Kershaw and The New Jack Ramblers ROCKED the House! Simply put, if you are looking for a typical, run of the mill house band for your party these guys are not that. They were outstanding, engaged the crowd and had people jumping out of their seats. It was a real pleasure to work with them, and I look forward to our next event."
