The Wanderers
"We first enjoyed listening to The Wanderers during the pandemic. Since then, we’ve followed them to Palo Alto, Campbell, and San Pedro Square. Their song list appeals to all ages. They played at our son’s wedding in Jamestown and the music was awesome!! The dance floor never slowed down, and we all had a blast! We can’t thank them enough for making our special day even more special."
Soultry Country
"It was such a pleasure having themat our dinner/dance fundraiser event. Kim, Ron, Grant and Chris are a talented group. Kim is so great at communicating and ensuring everything was set leading up to the event. The band comes with all of their equipment, all you need to do is provide them the space."
Regency Talent
"Amazing!!!! Carlos was very responsive to any questions we had. The band was beyond what we expected. They were all so talented and super flexible. We’ve had issues with sound system before (this was a fundraising gala for a school district and we had an auctioneer) and Carlos made sure we had what we needed and took extra time with sound check just to make sure everything was perfect. The band played a dinner set and a 2 hour set. No breaks!! We are so grateful for Top Secret for having our event something special! We wil definitely hire them again and highly recommend them. Thank you, Top Secret"
Band Saptham
"Band Saptham Lit Up the Lesher Center’s Diwali Fair
Band Saptham delivered a vibrant, high-energy performance at the Lesher Center for the Arts Diwali Fair, and it was one of the highlights of the celebration.
From the first number, the band connected with the crowd. Their set blended familiar favorites with fresh, spirited arrangements, and the musicianship was tight, with strong vocals, confident instrumentals, and a rhythm section that kept the whole audience moving. Families, kids, and longtime fans were soon clapping, singing along, and dancing in the aisles.
What set the performance apart was its warmth. The band’s stage presence matched the spirit of Diwali, [Choogaada song , Jawani Jaane mann, Medleys ] The sound was clean and balanced, and the pacing kept the audience engaged from start to finish.
For a festival about community and celebration, Band Saptham was a perfect fit. They brought great music, great energy, and a sense of togetherness that made the evening memorable. We’d love to see them back at future events."
New Moon - Duran Duran Tribute
"New Moon on Monday perfectly captured the look, energy, and iconic sound of Duran Duran… a high-voltage hit that kept our festival crowd engaged and dancing from start to finish."
Groove Ride
"If you're considering Groove Ride for your wedding or event, stop searching and book them immediately.
Groove Ride was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Doc was incredible to work with. He was responsive, organized, thoughtful, and made the entire planning process feel effortless. Every question was answered quickly, every detail was handled professionally, and he gave us complete confidence that the entertainment would be amazing.
And wow—did they deliver. The band absolutely brought the party. Our dance floor was packed all night long, from the first song to the last. The energy, talent, and ability to read the crowd were unmatched. We had guests of all ages dancing, singing along, and having the time of their lives.
One of the things we heard over and over throughout the night was, “Where did you find this band?” and “They are incredible!” Our guests are still talking about them weeks later.
If you want a band that will keep your guests engaged, create unforgettable memories, and make your reception the party everyone talks about, Groove Ride is it. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Doc and the entire Groove Ride team, for helping make our wedding so special and so much fun!"
