November 3, 2016I saw this group at the Ute Mountain Casino while passing through Colorado, and what a treat it was! Truly legendary, and such nice guys at the meet and greet following the show!

March 18, 2013I attended both the Port Charlotte Fl show and the Chateau Elan show with a friend of mine who hired the band in Port Charlotte. Literally I was blown away by how good these guys are. They are only a five piece band and sound like a 12 piece band! The harmonies were spot on and if they made any mistakes I sure didn't catch them either time. I have already spoke to my husband and we have them locked in for a date next February in Florida!

March 18, 2013You can tell that these guys have played with the original band. Musically and vocally you were transported to those carefree days when you would toss beach balls around at an open air Beach Boys concert and have the time of your life. I could not stop dancing and singing and when I got to meet the wonderful band after the show they did not disappoint in their kindness in taking photos and chatting with their fans. I hope to see this band many more times in the future. It is getting the Beach Boys without paying the price!
