Y’all were perfect exclamation mark for our annual party! Seriously, what you did with that Bill Withers song,” Use Me” was unbelievable. Thank you so much for playing for us. Can’t wait until next year!

We were just married on 06/20/2020 and selected a local option, The Rising Tide, to play at our event! Despite COVID-19 related issues, Scott and the band were able to accommodate our changes. Jay, who is the coordinator for the group, was AMAZING! He and his group went above and beyond to make our special song requests perfect and to respect our music choices as related to their set list as well. He was available by phone to discuss our music preferences and vision for the evening. On the day of, they even included a gift, which was our first dance song typed up and framed! My guests are still asking about them and we couldn't say enough how easy, flexible, positive, charismatic, and energetic they were! Thank you guys and Scott for helping us coordinate and arrange our special day!
