Testimonials

“It's not often that you find a band that is service oriented, flexible and still fantastic when they hit the stage! During the five (5) hour event the Dennis Keith Band captured the audience and had them cheering for more. Back by popular demand, this is our third consecutive year booking the Dennis Keith Band for this program. We continue to receive numerous positive responses to their performance from the guests and look forward to next year. The Dennis Keith Band exceeded expectations and kept the dance floor full all night.”

-Lisa Mackrie
Account Manager
TBA Corporate Communications & Entertainment

“Thank you Dennis and Guitarola for your creativity, flexibility and wit as you: a) were put on the spot to come up with walk-up music at the Baxter banquet, b) graciously played lots of overtime and c) were so great that you’re asked for next year! We enjoy working with you & look forward to the next event.”

“I truly enjoyed working with DKRocks and dance members. Our group loved them!”

“Outside Influence is one of the most exceptional bands I have heard in a very long time, and have received numerous comments to that effect after the party. It was a pleasure working with them.”

"…The Dennis Keith Band brought about an unprecedented first...our guests out of their seats during the entire dinner and on the dance floor until the last number closed!"

“Thank you for an outstanding performance by Guitarola at our party at Harry Caray’s. I have received a number of compliments from our attendees, most of whom enjoyed themselves so much they stayed for the entire evening, despite their previous intentions of just stopping by for a short time.”

"…I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude for your professionalism and hard work; you made a valuable contribution to the overall success of this project. I look forward to working with you again."

“Among the many positive comments on Guitarola, here's my favorite: ‘Excellent band!. Whoever picked those guys should get a big fat bonus!’”

"…You did it!! Feedback from the Charity Ball has been terrific. Everyone enjoyed the Band and the mix of music played. It was the first time any of us have seen people stay to the end - and still be on the dance floor when it was time for the Band to quit."

“What a fabulous “live” musical experience Guitarola is! The acoustical instrumentation coupled with their upbeat, contemporary repertoire complimented the nature of the event beautifully.”

“The Dennis Keith Band even notched it up a level. It’s not easy to follow the Reverend Al Green, but you did it without missing a beat. From 7:00 in the evening til 2:30 in the morning you kept up an incredible repertoire of music. Everyone was out there dancing til the bitter end…and, I’m sure, they would have kept you playing longer. Please do not hesitate to call us for a glowing reference in the future.”

"Everyone enjoyed the music so much and had a delightful time dancing to the great selection of music you played."

"What a great dance Band...what talent and energy! The Dennis Keith Band is definitely on the top of my list, and I look forward to working with them again, as often as I can."

"What a tremendous evening! The Dennis Keith Band helped make the evening the huge success that it was."

"…The Dennis Keith Band was amazing. Dennis and his crew have an uncanny ability to read the crowd."

"…The Dennis Keith Band was absolutely outstanding. They were professional, played an excellent variety of tunes at a perfect volume and have very talented singers."

“We never thought, in a million years, we'd be hearing, "That was "the best wedding we ever went to. WHO was that Band?!!" The range of music was so vast, people were amazed... and each song sounded just like the original recordings. The food could've been cold. The flowers could've drooped. The bride could've danced an entire dance alone. (Oh, wait- that actually did happen ... ) But it wouldn't have mattered. Because the band was awesome. And everyone said so. Even the wedding coordinator concurred. Thank you again, for your patience, professionalism, talent, and trustworthiness.”
