"These incredible musicians wowed everyone! Everyone was blown away by their talent and their energy. We didn't want them to stop. It was a magical evening, and the gift of their music was so much a part of what made it special. They traveled quite a distance for us - so much appreciated. Ours was a fairly unique situation and I truly believe that he understood the meaning we were trying to convey. Their Manager listened and I swear he read my mind and delivered. All 350 guests were astounded by this accomplished group of musicians. We will be using them for other functions that we will be involved in and hope they will be able to join us." ...Rebecca Combs, Wedding, Bride "I just wanted to let you know how much our Charity Ball guests loved Swingaroux. The music was exactly right for our event, and I received tons of compliments from our guests, and had many people ask who the band was. We did recieve more compliments on the music and the band this year than ever before. Also, you were very accomodating and wonderful to work with. I appreciate the band's patience and flexibily with the silent auction table closing announcements. Please let each of them know how much we enjoyed having the band! If I'm ever in charge of another event, I will definitely be calling you!" ...Elsa Jeanne McVea , Pascagoula Junior Auxiliary "Your group played from an authentic place in their hearts, loving their music, loving New Orleans, and loving to serve people seeing them happy.........it shows in everything you all did to make my daughter's wedding such a wonderful and unique memory in our history books! For now, from the bottom of my heart I wanted to say, "Thank you" for your excellence. Swingaroux is "da best" that New Orleans could offer any affair ----------------- I've been corporate, political, religious, and personal - SWINGAROUX ROKS DA HOUSE!" ...Lynette Lanalle, Wedding, Mother-of-the Bride "Swingaroux was the hit of our company's sales rally! We held a New Orleans style jazz funeral to lay 2009 to rest and then kicked it into high gear with a Mardi Style celebration for the coming sales season. Billy Robeson was a pleasure to work with and the 6-piece Dixieland ensemble he put together from Swingaroux was amazing. They more than exceeded our expectations! We are looking for ways to incorporate the entire band into future company events. You can't go wrong with Swingaroux!" ...Marilyn Williams, Executive Assistant, Brown Bottling Group, Inc., Jackson, MS "Things seem to be going very well for Swingaroux. You've worked hard with a wonderful idea, and now the area is getting hip to the new big band sounds of y'all...Keep swinging." ...Ronnie Kole, New Orleans Legendary Piano Virtuoso! "Love the energy coming from the band. Presentation fantastic. Love the way the band got into the charts. They sound fantastic. Kathy is a great singer. It takes a BIG singer to sing with a big band!!! She's got it!!" ...Esther Wilson, Wilson Publishing "Swingaroux's performance at our son's wedding celebration was exceptional. All of the songs we selected off of their play list were played perfectly and added to the overall ambiance of the New Orleans courtyard setting. Both the band and the female vocalist sounded fantastic! Many of our guests commented on how great the band sounded. I would highly recommend Swingaroux for any celebration." ...David Barcenas, Wedding "We were in New Orleans last weekend shooting documentary footage on the history of jazz, and caught your gig at the French Quarter Festival. WOW! My husband fell in love with your sound, and this is a guy who owns several thousand CD's -- needless to say, he wants to add to that collection by including you guys, but we can't find a CD anywhere. Do you have any? Thanks -- and BRAVO. You're kickin' --" ....Patrice Stribling Nelson, Stribling Nelson Music Studio, California "Swingaroux sounds great; hope to hear you play again soon." ....Jane & Emile "Thank you so much for playing at our wedding.

And Kathy is a super singer and a great front person!" ....Patrick C "Swingaroux was fantastic! Many guests commented how great the sound was (not too loud and not too soft)and how well you performed. The music selection pleased everyone and the look of the full band was impressive. The members displayed the highest professionalism and were extremely accommodating. Without a doubt Swingaroux was key to making our event 'top notch.' I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great sounding band that will make you get up and dance". ....Tom Meyer, President, Jefferson Chamber "Swingaroux, go ahead and pencil us in for 2009 as you are going to be a tradition for us!!!
