"Great great band !! Love the music, showmanship , and flexibility they showed towards performing at our event ! "
"The Dave Macklin Band truly made our parents' surprise anniversary party a night to remember! We sought a high-energy, Motown-style band with contemporary flare and our expectations were more than exceeded. They were happy to incorporate our song requests (and blocks) within their set list to create the perfect soundtrack to our evening. This isn't a band that just fades into the background. The singers were out on the dance floor and inviting guests on stage, truly igniting the party. We even incorporated the lead singer into one of our toasts as musical accompaniment. Overall, the Dave Macklin Band was by far the best choice for our event and we would highly suggest them for any party where you'd like smooth, chill musical styling launching into infectious musical energy that compels guests to the dance floor."
