June 6, 2015We were absolutely thrilled with the Schuylkill Rhythm Section. The musicians gave an exceptional performance; the feedback was outstanding, and the compliments continued long after the evening was over. The band was hired to play at the historic Princeton Quadrangle Club for the University's 2015 Reunions. We would definitely hire them again, and strongly recommend the Schuylkill Rhythm Section for their outstanding musicianship and professionalism.
