Our 7-Piece band offers Unparalleled Music & Entertainment for all Occasions!...featuring dynamite, breath-taking lead vocals led by the classy, lovely and multi-talented duo of Michelle Romary and Erin Rossi, tight bass grooves laid down by bassist and vocalist, Bob Miller...the wailing, smooth and sexy sounds produced by sax-man Mike Molchan, toe-tappin' beats with uncanny, unmatched precision by drummer/percussionist, Jeff Kennat, and hot and intricate guitar leads played by the intensely laid back, Lee McClelland. Now add the sounds of amazing brass stabs, organ, piano, and strings coming out of Rick Matis's keyboards and you have the makings of one flawless, groovin', exciting band!

2009 Best of the Cleveland FOX 8 HOT LIST
Our members could not have been more energized by your performance on Saturday! You were a complete success and added to the overall excitement of the evening. I have never seen so many of our members enjoying themselves, dancing the night away. The compliments were overwhelming at our regular weekly meeting today. Members were already requesting you for next year. You exceeded our expectations in every way!
Please feel free to use us as a reference. We would be happy to share our experience, as well as our intention to have you for our event next year.
Michelle Hauser, President-Elect Willoughby Rotary Club
“Our guests raved about the band. Many said it was the best they had ever heard in all the weddings they have gone to. We are still getting comments about them 6 weeks after the wedding. The vocalists were superb!!”

“The band did a great job for our wedding. We got so many compliments from guests about their music variety, energy on stage, and talent. If we got married again, we'd hire them again!” – Michael & Erika Wolford - May 23, 2009 @ Barrington Golf Club
Rick and the band were absolutely fabulous to work with. We could not be more proud of choosing them to play...They kept the dance floor full and played an extremely difficult venue flawlessly. We heard only positive comments from a very diverse crowd. Rick even thought of many things that we forgot about along the way that helped us out. One of our friends even said, "I'm not a dancer, but this is the best wedding band I've ever heard." Rick and the band had him out on the dance floor all night. Thanks so much for all of your work. Hopefully we'll get to dance to your music again soon! John & Katie - May 16, 2009 @ The Old Cleveland Courthouse
