"FReSh RAiN came to my local neighborhood bar with two divas Sanging; yea I said it. That band was on a mission performing a good mix of Rock, Pop, Country, Top 40 & R & B all in the same set. They did a dang good job keeping us rocking."

"Midnight was amazing! They were so much fun! They sounded really good and even played saxophone, trombone, trumpet, and flute. It was so cool! All of our guests kept telling me how good they thought the band was. I would 100% hire them for another event and definitely recommend them to other people for their events! Thanks again guys!!!!"

Big City Dixieland Band
"Big City Dixieland was a HUGE hit in our City Parade! Audiences from all ages were singing along, clapping and even dancing in the grass! Big City Dixieland sounded great! From what we (the organizers) could hear, they played a good variety of lively, well-known Dixieland Music, including a patriotic song. It was very easy to work with Maureen and Michael, their band arrived early, and everyone was very professional. We will definitely be hiring Big City Dixieland band for our next event in 2025!"
