I'd like to Book-a-Ride
"Thank You" seems inadequate praise for the fabulous show you put on at our recent LIFE Expo. The rave reviews just keep pouring in about the great music and high energy your band created from the get-go.
I have truly never seen anything like it at a corporate event. I must admit that I was somewhat skeptical as to whether you could bring such a diverse audience together through your music, but it was clear from the start that you fully intended to create a memorable evening for our employees.
Dave was tremendous at engaging with our audience and the other vocalists and band members were perfectly in sync to create an evening that exceeded our expectations in every way. I suppose the ultimate compliment and endorsement would be the fact that even after extending your final set, our group was reluctant to let you go. Just like Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady", WE COULD HAVE DANCED ALL NIGHT!!
You truly helped us create a new benchmark for promoting energy and excitement within our company family.
Sincerely,
Kathy Whitehead

I wish you all the best of luck.

Awesome music you gave us Friday night! I couldn’t believe how
crowded the dance floor was all night. Thanks so much, your band made
the party a huge success, it will be difficult to top it next year!
We will be contacting you early next year to reserve our annual
company party date in July. We love Party Train!

Just a quick thanks (and please do feel free to use me as a reference)
for you and "Party Train!" You folks did an awesome job at our June
8th event in the Grand America and really like how you got "in" the
audience and made if fun for all.
Have a great weekend,

Your band is the best! Thank you for the time spent and the efforts made in making our wedding reception a great time for everyone. We have had several of our guest comment that "the band was wonderful". You are so interactive with the guests and really get people involved (we had people from age 12 to 80 dancing and singing).
We really appreciate the extra time you put in to learning five more songs for us at no additional cost, this is exceptional and I know no other band would have done this.
Really if someone wants to ensure their guests will have a great time at any event they better book the Party Train.
Thanks again for helping make our wedding day so special.
Sincerely,

Dear Dave,
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you (and the band) again for such a great performance at our annual company party on January 4, 2002. You were all so professional. I especially appreciated your flexibility in your set up. Though it was the hotel's slipup, you all did not distract from our commencement of the party and you even remembered to provide the background music!
The band, as I said, was incredible. I love the fact that you have a horn section and percussion sections. Your song selection was perfect – the right mix of all era’s and all dance-able. Your performance was seamless and as far as I could tell, perfect. Dave, you’re such a great band director: funny, quick, clever, and you know your crowd. I appreciated all your efforts to get the crowd going – and it worked (not an easy thing with engineers)! I was tickled by how they all wanted to stay and listen even if they didn’t want to dance. We will definitely be calling you next year.
Personally, I would hire you for any party I was throwing as well. Makes me want to get married, just so I can. Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Dina J. Roberson

I can’t tell you how pleased the Young Entrepreneurs’ Organization has been with your talented group. Our summer event turned out better than anyone expected. In the past, we’ve had a band as background entertainment while the group participates in other activities. Several songs in to your show and all attention diverted to the crazy guy singing "Brick House" backed up by a nine piece band. When deciding who should play for our winter event, not only was the vote unanimous to bring Party Train back, but everyone felt Party Train didn’t need the usual warm-up show. As it turned out, no one went home disappointed. Thank you for the effort you and your band put in to your entertainment. Party Train will be a part of many YEO events to come.
Sincerely,
D. Todd Shepherd

I wanted to drop you a note to personally thank you for the excellent performances you’ve churned out for Studeo over the past couple of years. Nobody does the whole range of Latin, Rock, Funk and Soul the way you do. The client party we threw at the Hard Rock Café blew their socks off…and just about brought the house down! Equally successful was our company Christmas party at The Canyons last year.
We were glad to see that almost the entire band was kept together when you regrouped as "Party Train." Your horn section rocks, and the professional level of all your musicians and vocalists is unmatched. And it goes without saying that your lead singer is a maniac!
There’s no doubt we’ll be calling you again.
Sincerely,
David B. Allen

To Those Seeking a Party Band,
These guys are great!! We have used Party Train time and again at all levels of corporate parties, and they never failed-not only make themselves look good-but also make me look good for hiring them. Their musicianship, energy and showmanship are unparalleled. They're not only musicians, but also entertainers (which makes all the difference)!
They have played for us in front of crowds ranging from the very large (5,000+) to the very small (our executive committee) and have always delivered a top-notch performance, no matter the occasion. The front man is super fast-on-his-feet, and his wit and ease with the crowd has come in handy many, many times…like when we've needed to fill time, stretch something out or cut something short. So, if you want an amazing band at a reasonable price, this is the band for you.

Thank you, thank you for providing the perfect touch and making our wedding party a party! Many of the guests commented on how your band is the best band they've ever seen live! My grandparents and their friends especially enjoyed you throwing in the occasional tune from the 40's and 50's, (although I'm going to be forever tortured by the memory of Gram doing "The Twist"), and the Dinner Music and jazzy stuff you played was a nice touch. But, of course, my husband, friends and I enjoyed all of it. I'm glad I took off my shoes, or I would have been soooooo sore! I need to get some of those Boogie Shoes you talked about!!!
I am especially grateful for your willingness to keep playing beyond the original stop time. Who knew the party would still be going after so long? Thanks again!
Also, an extra special thanks for your tender performance of our wedding song, "The Way You Look Tonight." It was the perfect end to a perfect evening.
To sum up, I would be glad to act as a referral for your great band, so let me say this: Brides-to-be! If you want the perfect band for your wedding, this is it!
Sincerely yours,
Chari JacksonSalt Lake City
"Party Train" is one of our local "Best Kept Secrets." Where else can you get Chicago Funk, Jamaican Reggae, and the best popular 70's & 80's music with a horn section as "together" as the well known 70's band Chicago!
The lead singer is a high energy performer with a lot more to offer than great vocals, and the back up singers are as fun to watch as the Robert Plant girls (and they can sing too.)
I have used these musicians through my DMC business and recommended them for corporate clients looking for more than just background music. Their name is befitting their presentation. They come to create a party atmosphere. I recommend them with enthusiasm.
Sincerely,
Annette SwanMarriott University Park Hotel
