The Soul Men are fantastic! They played for our cocktail party that we had in conjunction with a trade show, and our customers LOVED them. We had several requests for them to come back next time. Communication was excellent, they really know how to work a crowd, and they went above and beyond to work with our limited, small company budget. Special thanks to Dan's wife, Cyndi, who is also their manager-- I just told her what I had in mind and how much money I had to work with, and she made all the arrangements versus me trying to piece everything together. Really made life easy. I can't wait to hire them again. As for the performance-- you will be amazed! These guys are extremely talented. They have all the "Jake and Elwood" moves-- in fact, I forgot they weren't the actual Blues Brothers! Thanks to them, our event was a huge success!

Thank you Miranda
We have a wonderful time with all the Ohio law enforcement community, nobody throws a better party than the cops!
The soul men were fantastic. Their energy and enthusiasm was contagious. They got the guests on their feet and got them to participate even though many of them did not think they wanted to. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a high energy fun fun fun party.

Was not sure what to expect. Kept it a secret from all of our guest. When it was time for the band to start, the ploy was they were a no show. Then they made the entrance. The crowd was shocked, surprised and blown away all evening. Jake and Elwood is very interactive with the guests right down to a conga line and back up singers. Can't wait to have them back again.

You have a marvelous facility, one of the best venues in NE Ohio
Jake and Elwood would love to "Crash" one of your parties sometime, maybe with a full backing band, that stage is awesome.
We absolutely loved the Soul Men. They were great motivators to get us up and moving. Very good Impersonators of the Blues Brothers. We definitely want them back to entertain for our parties. Photos on facebook!

May 9, 2015- Amvets Post #26 - Mansfield, Ohio -Rock and Roll fundraiser for The Resurrecting Lives Foundation, a non-profit for Veterans with Brain Injuries.
What energy, joy, and enthusiasm the Blues Brothers Tribute Act for the Soul Men brought to the festival! They not only displayed enormous talent and professionalism, but also patriotism as they performed for our Heroes and their families. So many souls were lightened by their entertainment, while never losing the fact that we were there to support those who had served our nation. Several of our young heroes from Iraq and Afghanistan attended and were introduced to Jake and Elwood for the first time. Yet, it didn't matter if you knew the Soul Brothers or not at the beginning of the set, for you sure knew them afterwards.
We, at Resurrecting Lives Foundation, salute the Soul Men for their talents and efforts to honor those who served us. Like Jake and Elwood reminded us during their performance, "We are on a mission.... from God."
Many thanks for an evening of entertainment and a cause that we will not forget.

From sound check to end of show, the performers were very respectful and attentive to the needs of the show. Their performance was action packed, fun and interactive with the crowd. It was a real pleasure and honor to work with these professionals!

We would love to come back and perform for you guys in the future....We have so many more fun songs we can do when time allows!
Awesome Tribute Band. We hired them for a high school graduation party and the kids loved them, got up on stage and sang with them, and were dancing. Of course the adults loved them too. They really made the party so much more fun. My son's party was voted Best Graduation Party for the Class of 2011

The people we met at your party were among the nicest I've met in my entire life....It's easy to have a good party with good people.
Hope to get back to IL in the future, and If it's a public event, I'll be sure to invite you and yours...

I hired the Soul Men for my husband's 40th birthday party in Grafton, WV. They did a FANTASTIC job. Everyone at the party commented about how great they did and how much fun they had! The guys did a great job of getting a "stuffy" crowd clapping, dancing, and singing. It was a blast!

I would like to thank Crystal for finding me on Gig Salad, and Thank Gig Salad for allowing me to link to my web site, I got hired for Crystals party because she saw I was in Charleston WV the night before her husbands Birthday!!!
We hired The Soul Men to authentically re-create The Blues Brothers phenomenon with our band at a city concert. We have actually hired them many times. They are a hoot! They are the life of the party. The guys are equally good on stage as well as schmoozing and engaging the guests off stage. These guys are great!

I met them first as they were a featured act on my stage for a huge car cruise special event in Ocean City, MD. The crowds loved their performance which was impressive. This led me to recommend them for a corporate event in Altoona, PA, and then recently in Independence,OH,I sahred stage with them again, and as before, they were crowd favorites!

Testimonials
Greetings Soul Men!
Thanks so much for rockin' the house at The Rock and Roll Auction 2 for The Drive!
The Soul Men really delivered a solid, entertaining show! Their portrayal of The Blues Brothers was "As Righteous As A Fist!"
Right down to their knuckles...(Jake, Elwo...od!)
From that fabulous entrance...(WOW, that was sooo f'in COOL!) to the way
that they worked in local references, and the Sponsors- the
thanking Miller Beer into "Hey Bartender" (are you kidding me? They LOST THEIR MINDS!!!) to the dance steps and acrobatic tricks.
I mean, they went toe-to-toe with Brett Michaels AND Styx...even without a live band supporting them! Then to go on to the VIP area and schmooze with our special guests was above and beyond our expectations!
Concert goers could be overheard after the event still talking about The Soul Men!
I have been a Blues Brothers fan since I was 12. I never had a chance to see them live. I can honestly tell anyone, that I really felt like while they were up there, The Soul Men WERE the Blues Brothers. I had goose bumps, Man.
I'm So Glad We Made It...
Your New Friend and Fan In Detroit,
Joel Morgan
