A Lot of Happy Guests

Surefire played our Active Adult Community last weekend. The evening was non-stop dancing. The band played the perfect selection of songs. great energy, and they were so good, every song was on point! We have received a huge number of positive comments since that night including, "Best party we've had in years'", "Finally a band that not only understands what we want but does it so well" I will absolutely be using them again!

In a Word...Terrific.

Michael Lawrence and his band were professional, accomplished, and a delight. Michael exactly tuned the equipment to the venue. The volume level was just right. At one point he took gave a couple of little tots the chance to sing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - and even backed them up with the band.

This band is super talented and Michael covers George Strait like no one I've ever heard.

No muss, no fuss. Great performance. Worth every penny!

Great Country Band!

We moved to the valley from Tennessee 14 years ago. One of the first places we went to hear music was the old Norton's Country Corner. That is where we met Mike and the Surefire band. We were so excited because Surefire reminded us of the great music we used to hear in Nashville! Mike has a great voice and must know a millions songs! We have been all over the valley to see Surefire and they even played at my 50th birthday party. If you get a chance to see them, don't pass it up! You will be amazed!

Surefire band at Roman's county line

I have known this band for many years playing at Romans County line and would love to see them playing there again soon. They are a very good band that play a variety of music to dance and listen to continuously. My wish is to see them more at Romans and have all who remember the great times and great music that we know and live. Thank you for your help and support. Sincerely Sharon Farrell
