Rave Reviews!

A fantastic band with very talented musicians, wonderful arrangements and classic songs! They capture the essence of a time gone by with their retro outfits and old-time nostalgia! I’ve even seen them do live recreations of old-time radio shows just the way they used to be done back in the day, complete with reading commercials for popular products from the radio era. So fun!

Everyone in the band is great, but we especially love the xylophone… such a treat to see and hear a pretty rare jazz instrument played live, let alone with such mastery!

Always a great evening out… Highly recommended!
