Fantastic Band

Chicago Rock Exchange played for my house party and were absolutely perfect. They worked with me on playlist choices, times, space, etc. and were always completely professional. My guests were blown away by what great performers they were, personable to interact with and kept everyone dancing.
Will definitely have Chicago Rock Exchange again!

Amazing band!

Chicago Rock Exchange performed at our non-profit fundraiser and were beyond amazing! Not only are they a phenomenal band, they are phenomenal people. They were genuinely interested in our non-profit organization supporting teen mental health and we are so grateful for their support. They made the night so much fun and everyone loved them! We look forward to having them perform at our next fundraiser. Highly recommend!

Make Your Party Rock!

What a band -- non-stop great music, wonderful attitude and incredible energy! I hired Ray's band for a huge outdoor party, perched them and their equipment on a balcony -- and left the rest to them. They made all the difference in this celebration. Their choice of music, their responsiveness to the crowed, just the "sound" -- they had everyone dancing all over the lawn, not just the dance floor.
I used to think a terrific party was about the food -- and that's important. But Ray's music really MADE this a special event to remember. I will book him first before setting the date of my next party.
