“The Crew is a lot of fun to watch, putting great energy into every performance.
We love having them play at our parks!”

“I hear a lot of music - a WHOLE lot.
Having married a musician (jazz,) having a son who is a musician (rock,) and having been a musical performer at one point in my life (Broadway,) and owning and having owned venues that regularly feature live music, I witness different bands multiple times a week - I watch how they perform, what sort of music they choose, how they interact with one another and the audience - how the audience reacts to them - the crowds they bring, or in some cases fail to bring.
That said, The Crew is one of a fistful of bands that I absolutely want to have in my rotation. Each musician is skilled. Each musician is focused. Each musician is energetic. They play fun music that the crowd not only relates to, but can tap their feet to, jump up and dance to, sway their bodies and sing along to. Happy and fun are the two words that come to mind immediately, along with professional, polite, and engaged. Also, reasonably priced, which for many of us who own businesses is a serious consideration. The Crew are a home run. Every single time. ”
Sincerely,
Paula Young-Borra
