Testimonials:
Red Box Auto (ground opening):
The event was quite lovely with the live music and song selections. Everyone was dancing, and it made the party truly amazing. Your expertise and outstanding customer service are greatly appreciated, Rick. You had it all. We expected the band to be good, but we didn't expect to be blown away. One of our guests said that Rick's band was far better than what he and his wife saw on their cruise ship vacation.

Nathan Goldberg (Gloria Allred)
The band was outstanding. Rick showed up hours before the event to set up and make sure that everything was exactly as it should be. He and the band members are all very talented musicians. They were amazing with our guests- very warm and extremely likeable. I would hire them in a heartbeat.

"America's Greatest Cover Band" (TV Series)
Working with Rick was a sincere pleasure. They are a group of extremely talented musicians and singers! They are professional to the core, showing up early, rehearsing, and were ready to go even before I was ready. Even though I auditioned them for a TV show I could tell they have that same manner of professionalism in every aspect of their business. That is exactly how they treat their band, as a business. Of course, it is fun for them, but clearly they are there to please their customer. I purposely threw them a couple of "curve balls" during their audition and they handled them brilliantly. I am positive they would do the same in any situation. And best of all, they sounded amazing regardless of the genre of music they played.

Dear Rick,
Thank you for performing at the Unfrozen Music event on Saturday. the band was a fantastic end to the evening! My folks who mostly listen to 'classical' music really enjoyed your performance and energy ... and so did I.
I also appreciate all your help! Your sound expertise and willingness to share your equipment made my life easy! We couldn't have done it without you!
