Excellent job Neil ! Everyone thinks you're the best. Heard the songs for the first time today. All three will be on my new CD!

Dear That 80's Band,

Thanks for playing for my husband's 40th birthday !! Your band is awesome - even better than the demo! All of our guests had a wonderful time and I could have given out 100 of your business cards! If you don't love this band there is something wrong with you!

From start to finish, working with Neil was a true pleasure. It is rare to find a talented musician who is extremely professional and easy to work with (good communicator, quick response time, etc.). My husband and I hosted a wine tasting party and Neil played the acoustic guitar. Not only is Neil a tremendously gifted guitar player but he was also able to play any requests our guest had without hesitation... amazing! Neil was also able to get a feel for the party and play songs that created a perfect ambiance (a hostesses dream)! Not only do I highly recommend working with Neil Smith, I will most certainly use his talented services again!

Neil,
Thanks for playing my 40th b-day......I had so many people comment on how wonderful it was having a all-request acoustic soloist playing anything and everything we wanted to hear! Your voice and guitar playing was great! I'm sure you we will be contacting you again to play at some of our friend and family gatherings!!! Thanks again for making it so memorable!

P.S. thanks for being early and offering to help unload the catered food out of my car!!!

I hired Neil Smith to perform as a solo artist at my parent's 40th anniversary party in July. From my first contact with him I found him to respond in a prompt and professional manner. He came well groomed, well prepared and with a friendly attitude. His music fit the tone of the party very well, allowing guests to enjoy the the music but also mingle comfortably. Several of the guests commented positively on his music and asked where I found him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to hire quality entertainment.

Neil Smith recently wrote song lyrics for my husband's 80th birthday. I found him to be efficient, resourceful and very accomodatihg. He came up with clever lyrics and in record time. I would use his services in the future, and recommend him highly.

THAT 80's BAND provided excellent music and performance at my wedding reception. The guests arriving thought we had hired U2 or Duran Duran to perform! All of the members sang the music with such accuracy and talent! Everyone attending the reception were greatly impressed and were bopping along to the music all night. Every member of the band was able to fit my eclectic crowd and appealed to every age in attendance (from 12 to 70 years). THAT 80's BAND arrived on-time, were polite and professional to my guests, were sober throughout the night, and played throughout the evening (4+ hours) while taking only a couple of breaks. My husband and I are greatly impressed and incredibly grateful for THAT 80's BAND performing and we cannot wait for another event in which to hire them!!!

Twigface,

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding and helping to make our special day that much better. You were very punctual, fun, and accommodating - even letting Brian play bass on two songs as well as letting our 4 year old son play the drums. We had a lot of our guests complementing to us how great you all were.

Thanks again so much for all your hard work and good tunes that day. We really appreciated it.

Neil is a consummate professional. On short notice, he stepped in and
delivered a great performance for our musical project. He is easy to work
with, and his enthusiasm for our project proved invaluable. Highly
recommended.

Angela Truschel - Wedding Client - Laguna Beach, CA

NEIL SMITH was wonderful to work with all around. In addition to his extensive playlist which he perfectly tailored to our event, he got back to us right away when we had any questions, altered his schedule at the last minute, and thoroughly entertained all of our guests. With all of the other details to think about for our wedding, we didn't have a lot of one-on-one time with Neil beforehand, but he got back to us right away, was totally flexible, and quickly understood what we wanted and delivered it flawlessly. Neil's music really set the tone for the event and it really kept the party going and added a dimension to the event that was above and beyond what we'd hoped for. We will definitely call Neil for any future events and so will our guests!

Ben & Kate Goodwin - Santa Barbara, CA Wedding Clients TWIGFACE - Thanks very much for such a fantastic performance at our wedding reception. You guys were very tolerant of some of the more intoxicated members of the audience! I know everyone was very impressed - I didn't see the dance floor empty all night. Definitely a huge hit with everyone especially the people that had traveled from the UK to be there.

Very big thanks!

Ben and Kate

Cheri , Carnivore Rex - Recording Session Client - San Diego, CA

We hired Neil as a session vocalist on a novelty song that required monster voices from Frankenstein to Dracula and everything in between. Neil's abiltiy to portray the different characters was amazing and he has a large repertoire from which to draw from! He was also very polite and professional, and worked hard to give us what we wanted. Besides being a great talent, he's a very nice person and fun to work with!

Hi Neil,
Great performance! Thanks for creating such a beautiful and romantic atmosphere
at my wedding. We will definitely keep you in mind
if we are looking to entertain or jazz up our next party!

"Neil played at my daughter's 5th birthday and the kids -
and their parents - had a ton of fun. Aside from being very talented
and versatile in his musical repertoire, he was extremely professional,
prompt and easy to work with also, which made the interaction very enjoyable.
I would highly recommend him and know many who attended the party will be calling him in the future!"

Neil was outstanding! A great singer and fun to work with...
We had several student rock bands performing, and Neil's presence and
professionalism really helped put the show over the top! Thanks again!

Neil - Thank you SO MUCH for your wonderful music and contribution to our
wedding day. You added the ambience and warm presence we were hoping for
- so many thank you's! Also, so many of our guests commented on how much
they enjoyed your music. We appreciate you! Will definitely have you back for a 'fun' affair !

Neil Smith is an awesome vocalist/guitarist! Smith is definitely a contributor to the success of our charitable event. Guests were very entertained and the music was just very pleasant to listen to. Very prompt, professional, and talented. I'm sure the collective talent of his band can entertain any crowd. Thanks for the lifesaver and look forward to working with you in the future.
