The ATLANTA SHOWSTOPPERS are a high end, high energy, top of the line event band that will bring your party to life like no other cover band you have ever heard before. Whatever the occasion, we can customize a show that will thoroughly entertain your guests and leave them asking for more. From big band swing, to the classic soul of Motown, to the big sound of groups like Earth, Wind and Fire and Chicago, to modern hits, the ATLANTA SHOWSTOPPERS can do it all. The band is comprised of top notch veteran touring musicians that have played in venues all over the world with big names such as Prince, Chaka Khan, Peobo Bryson, Roberta Flack, Kenny Loggins, Outkast, Gloria Gaynor, Jennifer Holiday and Aretha Franklin to name a few. The talent and musicianship is as good as it gets. Ask us about our continuous music option!
We are the ones that should be writing you to thank you and the Showstoppers for the outstanding entertainment that you provided for us on Saturday evening. I could go on for paragraphs about how good the music was and how many people stayed until the end, dancing with such abandon that their creaky bones could hardly get out of bed the next day. But I also am so pleased with how easy you were to work with, and how responsive you were to every suggestion about timeline, especially during the evening when dinner service was delayed, and the timeline had to be modified.
The Ball Chair for next year was in attendance, and I'm sure that she took note of all of the above. You were fabulous, and we thank the Shackelfords as well as the Entertainment Committee for their selection of the Atlanta Showstoppers as our entertainment! I hope that you get many engagements as a result of Saturday evening's performance!

Glenn - Your show was perfect as it has been in the past three years. As I have said in the past, the Showstoppers did a great job of "playing to the crowd" and keeping all ages entertained. The additional members to the band that you had for our event made it even better than in years past and made it seem fresh.
I will be talking to the chairman of next year's ball in February to start planning for next year so I will let you know early 2012 to see your availability. We are most likely looking at December 21st for next year's ball if you want to pencil us in.

AS the kids say, OMG!!!! It was fabulous and I can't get anything done because my phone keeps ringing. Your ears should be buzzing because the whole town is talking about the band. You all were incredible and I can't thank you enough-- for your guidance, patience, and entertainment. I would put money on the fact that we'll be seeing you again. Hope business from this comes your way!! Merry Christmas and many, many thanks again!

Not normally one to do this, I have to rave about the best party band I've ever heard. At a recent social event, the Atlanta Showstoppers took the stage with the following personnel: several vocalists (men and women, all talented and loaded with stage savvy), a bassist, a guitarist, a percussionist, a keyboardist and three horns. They unleashed a very impressive song list that most bands don't even attempt to play because they're either too difficult musically or too demanding vocally. In fact, 90 percent of what they played I'd never before heard performed live. Not only did the Showstoppers have a go at some very challenging arrangements, but they nailed them. Numbers early in the set included "It's a Shame" (The Spinners, impossible vocals), "The Best of My Love" (The Emotions, ditto), "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is" (Chicago, soaring brass, demanding tempo changes).
Selections got a lot more contemporary as the evening progressed...if you really need to rev things up, this would be the group to do it. Get your wallet out though, because you'll pay for what you get.

We enjoyed having you all with us this season!!! Nothing but rave reviews!!! We would love to have you guys back for Wassail Ball 2012!!

We enjoyed having you and your talented group at Wheeling Island. As they say "a good time was had by all". We will most certainly keep in you mind not just for NYE 2012 but also for additional upcoming special events.

Glenn - Again, please tell the band how thrilled we were with their talent, energy, enthusiasm, and flexibility. The Landslide song you prepared for Rebecca and Bill was as good as the original. You were a delight to work with, and we gave your name out to all who asked. You and the showstoppers were better than we ever could have hoped for. Thanks...you made the evening perfect!

Glenn - Thank YOU! Emails, phone calls and letters from our guests all say that the band was fantastic!! It was a magical evening and a fabulous party. As I started planning the wedding one of my friends said to me, "it's the band, the band, the band" that makes the party. No doubt.
I agree that your suggestions were great and I appreciate your professionalism and flexibility. The bride and groom are still flying .... I hope I'm at another party where you play. Best regards,

Atlanta Showstoppers played at our corporate dinner function at the Ritz Carlton in Naples. Not only were they the best corporate band I have ever booked, the band from the other ballroom came over to check them out. Outstanding job!!!!!

I truly believe that I just heard the perfect corporate band.
I rarely want to stay to the end of a dinner event because I am usually the first person in the ballroom that day. I have to admit I tried to leave but I kept getting pulled back in. Just like the guests that never left the dance floor.

Showstoppers!! Ross and I want to thank you for making the trip to Boston for our wedding. YOU WERE SENSATIONAL. We knew that you were fabulous but you literally surpassed our highest expectations and kept the dance floor PACKED all night long. The fact that our guests were chanting "one more song" at the end of the night says it all. Our family and friends cannot stop talking about our wedding - and we know it's thanks to the Showstoppers!! We hope to see you again soon in Boston! All the best,
Christie & Ross S. (Oct 1st, 2011)

Glenn - The Atlanta Showtoppers were fantastic! We have received very positive feedback from our friends and guests on the band's strong performance. I suspect y'all will be booked again to return to Upstate South Carolina as a result of so many people being able to hear y'all in person.
Thanks again,

Oh, thanks Glenn!!! You were all amazing! Honestly - we have had so many people compliment us on how fun the band was. We just got back from the honeymoon late last night and I'm still trying to digest everything. I'm so glad that my parents were able to talk to everyone - they truly are wonderful.
Your playlist was fantastic as well, so thanks so much for taking our preferences into consideration - couldn't have picked it better myself! Thanks again for everything. I hope you make it back to Greensboro again soon. :)

Glenn - We had a ball at the wedding. I want you and the entire band to know that every phone call, email and one-on-one conversation includes comments on how great the band was! Once the Father Daughter dance concluded the dance floor was full for the entire night. I loved the fact that we had all ages dancing from 85 year olds to the very young. It was truly a magical evening. THANKS,
Kay Hagan
United States Senator, Mother of the Bride
Larry - Atlanta Showstoppers played for us for the third time in the last 5 months. I can honestly say that I think this is the nicest and most talented band I have used. They had the dance floor full the entire night from the first dance to the last. The crowd was begging for more! They are brilliant with their playlist, they are timely, they are nice, and they do everything and more that I ask of them. At one point during the band's break, Glenn Carvin helped me hand out blankets to guests that were cold! Who does this? Well the Atlanta Showstoppers do it all! The Hagans and every guest will testify to the amazing energy and fun they created. I will always lead with Atlanta Showstoppers when I propose a band for any function - they go above and beyond. Do you know that Glenn contacts my clients when they sign the contract to thank them? Do you know that he actually looks at timelines and suggests things that will go better for the event even if it means they miss a break or play a little longer? This band is first rate! I love them!

Hi Ted - This email is a follow up to my phone call in praise of the Atlanta Showstoppers. Pre-wedding Glenn was a dream to work with, both for the bride and wedding planner. The band arrived in plenty of time to set up and that was very important since the wedding was at home. Each member of the band was attractive and well groomed-very professional. One guest commented on the sequined dresses set against the backdrop of twinkling city lights....magical. Most importantly they had a fabulous sound. For three straight hours the dance floor was packed. I had numerous guests ask who the band was and afterwards some emailed to get their name. The Showstoppers also were wonderful to allow my children to get up on stage and dance. Guests enjoyed the family act. I am grateful to the band for being so flexible. The ending was great. I can not sing their praises enough. The next day it was nice to see that they had left their band room neat and clean. A five star band!!!! Very classy!!!! A happy client,

Dear Glen - Jim and I are just got home from a sensational wedding at The Four Seasons and in great part it was due to you, our GREAT and AMAZING band, the ATLANTA SHOWSTOPPERS!!! We have received numerous emails and phone calls from friends that were OBSESSED with our band!!! As you could probably tell, everyone loved all of you!!! Thank you SO much for making the trip to Boston, we were absolutely honoured to share this special day with such a classy group of people to say nothing of incredible singers/performers!!! We would just love to go see you every weekend!!! I sent many of the cards that you gave me with our Director of Catering at The Four Seasons! Not sure if you had the opportunity to meet him, he is one talented man and he will be the one to also recommend you!
Thanks to all of you,
With Sincere appreciation,

Glenn - We were beyond extatic to have you all play at our wedding. There have been so many compliments about you all and we truly could not have picked a better band for our special day! We truly thank you all for everything and hopefully one day can hear you all again! Please send everyone my thanks!

Hi Glenn - I just want to thank you and your band for the fabulous job you did playing at my daughter's wedding this past weekend. We all appreciate how you learned Higher and Higher and Africa especially for the party and also what careful attention you gave to the list of songs we told you we all liked in choosing your play list for this occasion.
The first thing almost everyone said to me during the reception was "Who is the band? They are incredible! That is the best band I have ever heard!" I know you get these comments all the time, but I did want you to know how much our guests enjoyed your music and your energy.
Also, my husband had told me when he saw you perform at the Atlanta Country Club that you had everyone there up and dancing. I witnessed this at our reception, too. One of my friends has a husband who never dances with her and always leaves wedding receptions early....she told me this morning that this was the first time he had danced with her at a wedding and the first time he had ever stayed to the end of a reception. I think this is a testament to how great your band is.
Once again, our family's thanks for the large part you played in making the evening such a great success.
Jane F. (September 4, 2011)

Words cannot begin to describe how fabulous the Atlanta Showstoppers were at our wedding. Although I'd seen you play before, you exceeded my expectations by a ton. You were the highlight of our wedding and created a night that we will never forget. I cannot tell you how many comments I have gotten from our guests on how great you were. Please extend my greatest thanks to everyone in the band.
Is there any way you can send me your playlist? I'd like to recreate the set as a moment for my wedding album. Thanks again and I hope to see y'all play again soon!

Hi Glenn - I can't say enough how wonderful you and the Showstoppers were! We had such a fabulous time and we have heard so many compliments about the band. It was a wonderful time and Jason and I had a fantastic time. I am sorry it took me so long to respond, but I just got back from the honeymoon yesterday. We had a great trip and now it is back to reality for me. I don't return to work until Monday and I am busy trying to get us settled. I wish we had another Shackelford because I really enjoyed everything and was so sad when my reception ended. I was having so much fun and I couldn't believe it was over.
Thanks so much again!

Thank you, Glenn, for producing an absolutely wonderful evening of entertainment. The response from the delegates and their families has been overwhelmingly positive about the final night event and especially the band. As you mentioned, it was obvious there was tremendous energy in that ballroom - I think out attendees could have danced all night!!!! Again, thank you for all you did to ensure it was an evening that will be remembered for years to come. Know that if there is an opportunity to partner in the future, I would be more than happy to do so - and I'll be sure to recommend you to my meeting planning peers in the industry.

We had so much fun at the wedding and the next day I told my mom and all other people I have talked to that as long as you have a good band you will have a great wedding!!! Thank you so much for giving us a great wedding! I loved that everyone was dancing and everyone told me they had a great time and how fabulous the band was! I think some of the men may have even fallen in love with your female band members!!! It was everything I wanted!
Thanks,

Hi Terry! - AWESOME!!! The band was TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Every guest was commenting on how wonderful the band was. I had the Georgian Terrace put up a huge dance floor because I was anticipating that everyone would want to be up and shaking their booty! And I wasn't wrong! The dance floor was never empty! The band was terrific and although I only had a short opportunity to meet and speak with Glen, he couldn't have been more accommodating. I just wished that I had a moment that evening to tell everyone in the band how extremely pleased I was with their performance.
I so enjoyed working with you as well, Terry. We must stay in touch. I have another daughter only 19 months younger than Amanda and someday soon I will be planning another wedding! And believe me, I will be booking THE ATLANTA SHOWSTOPPERS!! Thank you for all your help!
Kathy F. (June 11th. 2011)

Thank you for your kind note. The "Showstoppers" received high praise from (without fail) everyone that I spoke to at the reception. For me, the enthusiasm demonstrated on behalf of the attendees was quite unusual. They seemed to strike the perfect balance between the young and the old crowd and their song selection provided a very natural progression enjoyed by all as the evening moved forward. My guess is that you and they will be receiving more request from the Winston-Salem, Greensboro and Raleigh area as those were the three cities which were heavily represented Saturday. Lynn and I have always wanted to host an outdoor party at some point in time at our farm near High Point when the weather is optimal. Rest assured we will book the Showstoppers first....and then set the date for the party! Please send my sincere appreciation to each member of this talented and congenial band.

Wow, what a fabulous party!!!!! Ya'll were incredible and made the party so much fun!!!! I constantly am having people tell me that it was the BEST band we have ever had. Everyone would really love to have you again next year. Men who have always dreaded the evening and never dance were out on the dance floor... having a ball. It was amazing the number of people that said they had never had that much fun at the Masqueraders Ball. All that was due to Atlanta Showstoppers. Ya'll are AWESOME!!!!

I just wanted to send a much belated thank you. You guys were phenomenal. We had such a great time and our guest have had nothing but wonderful comments about the band. I can't believe ya'll learned that song that fast, ya'll are pros. Thanks for making our day so special. I'm sure weddings become the same ol same ol for you guys, but ya'll do a great job of keeping the energy going for those of us whose day it is.
Take care!

Rick and I are happy to recommend The Atlanta Showstoppers. The wedding reception for our daughter was perfect, and The Atlanta Showstoppers added fantastic music and lots of fun for the evening. As requested, they started out with easy listening music for a little while and then engaged the guests on the dance floor for the rest of the evening. They kept the momentum going with their fantastic sound and expertise and certainly provided exactly what we hoped for. They are unquestionably a great band, and we can't wait to hear them again sometime! We would recommend them to anyone looking for that calibre of band. Every aspect of dealing with them was perfect. Thanks so much for your assistance.

cannot tell you how much positive feedback we have received about The Atlanta Showstoppers. You were fantastic. The music made the whole wedding.... My feet are still sore!!
Both of Lauren's Maids of Honor are newly engaged ( over the past 2 weeks) & have not begun to plan & asked for your info. I know another couple not yet engaged got your card as well as our friends from Baltimore. Everyone has mentioned the band Great job & thanks for playing the sings she requested especially "California Gurls. ".
You guys are the best. We had never heard you play in person but could just tell from listening online that you were the right band for our guests.
Thank you so much. You made it such a fun & memorable evening for all of us.

You guys were fantastic!! The Atlanta Showstoppers was arguably the best party band that I have heard in over a decade. Fabulous repertoire. Superb vocals and horns. Wonderful talent! I cannot give enough praise. Everyone at the party shares my thoughts. We hope the Showstoppers become frequent visitors to Nashville.

The Atlanta Showstoppers far exceeded my expectations. The lead singers where fantastic, the horn section made the sound resonate and Glen did a great job putting together a song list that keep everyone dancing and never stopping.
"Monee/Monee" was the best followed by "We Are Family" should be part of every wedding going forward.
In fact I am going to send you a video of this part of the evening.
Everyone wanted to know where the Band came from and I suspect many will try to use them for their events.
You made me proud.
Thanks for being part of the "BEST WEDDING EVER"

In 15 years of shooting weddings, I have never witnessed a better band than the Atlanta Showstoppers."
Ron Sistare

The Atlanta Showstoppers were absolutely amazing. People are still talking about them and it is over a month later. Everyone from the photographer, catering staff, wedding planner and guests were amazed by their talent. I can't even count the number of people that said "best band we have ever heard at a wedding". Guests are saying it was the wedding of the century and I know a big part of that was due to The Atlanta Showstoppers. I would 100 percent recommend them to anyone. High quality performance, great crowd interaction (lots of people ended up on stage with the band throughout the night), and very friendly and flexible.
Thanks again!

We are still recovering from the wonderful wedding reception for Allison and Hunt! The setting, décor, food were all fabulous, but I feel that the Atlanta Showstoppers were the highlight of the evening. We have had two other bands at our daughter's weddings and we think that Atlanta Showstoppers is the best of all three. Your music appeals to young and old and the energy is fabulous.
Thanks for the CD...I listen to it my car and it reminds me of the wedding reception.

We hope to see you in our area again soon. Your group is so talented and professional.

Wow. You all were fabulous. Everyone is raving about the Atlanta Showstoppers!! I am going to run a few errands at lunch and pop in the CD you gave me. Thanks a bunch for that! I just can't tell you how much fun we had and you all were the catalyst. Allison and Hunt said it was the best party they had ever been to and it was a dream come true for them. Thank you for your willingness to meet our crazy requests.
I hope I didn't get too carried away out there. I think the dress was holding me back! Thank goodness!
Hope we have an opportunity to see you perform again. We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know.

I just wanted to thank you and The Atlanta Showstoppers for everything! Our guests are still talking about how great your performance was as well as what a great time they had at the reception. Our wedding would not have been as much of a success without you. Thank you so much for being easy and flexible to work with. It helped they whole evening go smoothly.
Two couples that attended our wedding (the Tetricks and the Laings) enjoyed The Atlanta Showstoppers so much that they have booked you for their weddings. They are extremely excited to have you all perform at their wedding receptions!
Elizabeth McNeely

The Showstoppers were AMAZING!!! People from both Atlanta and New Orleans have not stopped talking about them. There have been comments such as, "They were the best wedding band that I've ever heard!!" Hill and I would not change a thing about them. Not only did they sound fantastic, but they were extremely easy to work with. Glen is such a nice guy, and he really does care about his clients. Thanks so much for all of your help Rick, and I hope you have had a great summer!
Regan Dupuy
Wedding Reception
I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to let you know that the Atlanta Showstoppers were absolutely fantastic at our wedding on 5/22. We have both been to many weddings, and I can honestly say this was the best band by far. Glenn Carvin and the band were all very professional, responded to our song requests (including learning a special song), and kept the party going all night! We received many compliments from our guests as well, many who told us that was the best wedding band they have heard. I would throughly recommend them to your clients who might be looking for a great band at a very reasonable price!
Thanks very much for suggesting them and if we ever need a band in the future we will surely be repeat customers!
Brad Morgan
Wedding Client
Wow! What an amazing evening. After a beautiful wedding celebration and gathering on the lawn at the Grand Hotel, the doors were opened to the Grand Ballroom once the wedding party arrived. From the First Dance with Jennifer and Philip till the last dance the party didn't stop! The entire night the dance floor was packed and everyone was filled with the beat of the music! The range of music was amazing, each selection was upbeat and sounded like the original artist. The Atlanta Showstoppers were first class and did an amazing job bringing everyone together to enjoy the celebration. Now a week later we are still hearing from friends and family about the amazing band and music at Jenn and Philip's Wedding.
Jamie McAleer
Wedding Reception
I speak for Caroline and myself when I say that you and the band did a fantastic job for our wedding. From our first dance (which was impressively performed) to the last, when we were up on stage dancing, every song was perfect! I have talked to so many people that attended the reception that were raving about the band. I will continue to pass recommendations along to other friends of mine that are getting married in the next year or two.
Caroline Williams
Wedding Reception
Just a short note to tell you thanks for recommending the Atlanta Showstoppers to us for The Moses wedding party. I was the person who took care of them, and they were just awesome folks and so nice and personable. They all were so professional, courteous, and kind too. I really enjoyed getting to know them all. But the best part is how they took over the party scene with the most unbelievable array of songs that fit everyone's genre. This band has vocals that will match any band. The musicians are all talented and can play any type of music. They had great energy, and only took 1 short break....I have never seen so many people on a dance floor at one time with wedding clothes on partying and dancing like they were at an inaugural ball or the Super Bowl! When I say they are great, this does not do justice for their sound, vocals, music quality,stage show, or party atmosphere they created. They were simply awesome. In closing, I want to say I would give them my highest recommendation for any level of party desired, as they are ready to play for the President also! They exceeded our expectations and the wedding party feels like they got a bargain in them looking at it financially. If anyone would ever like me to give them a testimonial, feel free to have them call me or email me personally as I am one of their biggest fans now!
Davey Brown,

Glenn,
I cannot thank you and the band enough for making our wedding such an incredible event!! Everyone I talk to who was there comments about how incredible y'all are and what a fun time they had! Y'all truly exceeded my expectations. Rob and I both had a wonderful time at our wedding dancing, and I have y'all to thank for that. You are wonderful musicians and did a fantastic job. It was great getting to meet you as well. Hopefully some of my friends will use y'all for their weddings and we'll meet again. I thought you might like to see the pictures from the night, so I've included links to our photographers' website below.
Thank you again so much,

Rick,
Just wanted to let you know what a fabulous show the Atlanta Showstoppers put on at our daughters wedding. I had 25 to 30 people tell me during the evening that they were the best band they had ever heard. They played a great variety of songs that sounded as good or better than the original artist. The dance floor was so full the entire evening, that at one point people were dancing on the stage and the band never missed a beat. Glenn was a pleasure to work with and all the band members were very professional, friendly, and engaging. I was a little nervous in that we had never heard them before but I could not have been anymore pleased. Once again thank you for recommending the Atlanta Showstoppers.
Mike Scarbrough
Wedding Client
The Showstoppers were AMAZING! Glenn was fabulous to work with prior to the wedding and during the reception! The band played such a great variety of music! Our guests were completely blown away by their sound and variety and we had several guests who are getting married in the near future who asked for their name. I'll pass along your contact information to them:)
Thank you for all of your help!

have had so many guest come up and comment on what a great show the Atlanta Showstoppers put on.
This was the 102nd year of the Redstone Christmas Ball and everyone agreed it was a total success and possibly the best ever. An event such as ours which includes a formal presentation followed by a dance can be tough to program for. Our guests ranged from the college age presentees to their grand parents and great grandparents. You and the Atlanta Showstoppers performed exactly as requested by playing selections that appealed to all ages early in the evening and therefore filled up the dance floor from the minute you hit the stage. As the night progressed you gradually picked up the tempo and continued to keep the dance floor crowded for the whole evening. I was amazed that up until the last song we still had many of our older members on the floor as well as a crowd of the college age dancers. It is no small feat to get 21 young ladies dressed in formal ball gowns and white gloves to kick off their heels grab their dates and dance late into the night, but you guys performed that feat.
I will be referring the Atlanta Showstoppers to any of my friends who need a great band for a corporate event, wedding or ball. Yours is the type of band which makes one almost want to invent a reason to have a party.

I can't thank you enough for making our wedding FANTASTIC! Everyone was absolutely raving about you guys--you did an amazing job and we had the time of our lives. So happy you got to meet a few planners in person (the rest in the crowd were equally impressed!)

Kenny and I would love to take this time to tell you how wonderful you all were at our recent wedding reception. The amount of talent in all of the band members was at it's best totally awesome!! The volume of the music was at it's best, not too loud that we couldn't visit with our friends, but just perfect! The joy that you brought to all of us will never be forgotton, and for that a "BIG" Thank you. As for myself, a cancer survivor, you brought to me many blessings of being able to hear the song as I danced with my son, "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Grobin. The gentlman who sang that song gave my son and I a moment together that we will cherish forever....He was tremendous!! Thank you for your gift of song, and God Bless

We have to thank YOU! It was an amazing evening and the Atlanta Showstoppers played a big role! I am so glad we chose you for this year's Gala and I would love to see you play again at our Gala next year. We haven't picked out the date but it will be the last Saturday in September or the first one in October. Please mark those two dates already if you don't mind and let me know if you have other people interested in those dates.

The Atlanta Showstoppers are the Absolute Best Band!!! The horns led our precious bride and groom into the reception playing "I'm Going To The Chapel And I'm Going To Get Married" which set the festive, fun mood for the evening!
Having an at home wedding had it's challenges. Even though the electrical transformer at the street had been upgraded several months ago, it decided to blow with the increase power required and put us in "Black out wedding mode"! But the Atlanta Showstoppers kept the party going strong! I did not know how important it is to have a great horn section! They were unstoppable! And the very second the power returned, it was Non Stop dancing fun!
From the amazing versatility of their song list to the awesome musicians and spectacular vocalists, this band can not be beat! The level of service was off the charts even under these adverse conditions.
With this fabulous level of musical talent, the bands cohesiveness was inspiring. They are all in sink with each other and realize the importance of their contribution to the Whole Event.
JR, with East Coast Entertainment, Glen Carvin, with The Atlanta Showstoppers and all the terrific band members and crew, YOU ARE OUTSTANDING!

The Atlanta Showstoppers were fabulous. I don't think I have ever seen people having such a good time dancing and listening to a band. The dance floor was full the entire night and I have had numerous letters, e-mails and phone calls about what a wonderful time people had and asking me where the band came from and who they were. The Atlanta Showstoppers are so talented and totally know how to work the crowd for a perfect evening. Glen, you could not have been nicer to work with and you and the band did everything we asked and more!! I know East Coast Entertainment only represents the best and Atlanta Showstoppers should be at the top of their list. Thank you again for helping to make our daughters wedding reception a HUGE success.

The lead male vocalist was unbelievable but I have to say I sure liked the lovely ladies on both the left and right...I just couldn't get enough...I would have danced all night to you guys playing!!! People will be talking about you guys forever! Thank you so much of everything!!!

First, I was struck by your humility. It told me instantly that your band's talent was real and didn't have to be propped up by insincere showboating. When the music, accompanied by your voices began, it was like liquid electricity poured forth in the room. People stopped talking and turned to look.We could have been sitting in a concert hall, your style and quality were so soul piercing. The musicians played to perfection--- from the drummer to the guitarists , the keyboard player --all topped off by the horns and sax--created goosebumps!
The richness of the two womens' voices with yours, and the band's amazing variety were so enjoyable with each new song. I just drank it in with appreciation. There was never a time the whole evening that I was jarred by a glaring mistake. While you performed a range from Frank Sinatra to Aretha to rap, the crowd was mesmerized. The dancing was non-stop.
We have received cards, emails and long distance calls from friends that came from Germany, China, NYC, California, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Washington, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Florida, South Carolina, Texas and Iraq, about how your band blew them away.
When we started planning the wedding, the bride and groom wanted a DJ because "the bands never sound as good as the records---so why waste the money?" My husband and I really fought to have you. During the reception, they both came to say that you were absolutely the best thing about the reception and to thank us for having hired you.
In short, you made a loving wedding, the most absolutely perfect memory for a lifetime. Many soldiers and their families will re-play this sterling, good memory in their minds, during their tough and lonely deployments---and that is what we were after. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Mother of the Groom
I am the father of the groom. You've heard from everyone so you might as well hear from me.
Your group was fantastic. I am not so much a band expert as I am a person who realizes when a special event takes place. This was an event of relationships. Yes the wedding of Becca and Walker was incredible. We also had 14 active duty Army soldiers and their wives etc. We also had 5 parents of the active duty soldiers. All of these guys have had extensive deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Several were head back for another deployment. Walker will go to Afghanistan for his forth deployment in December.Most of these guys had not seen each other since graduating from West Point in 2005. My son Walker got to spend the most important day of his life with his wonderful Becca and to hug long lost soldier friends.
Your band made this a very special night for these guys. You made them feel proud. You made them feel special. You gave them a great time and to be able to share this with their families.
Yes your performance was excellent. Even more importantly your attitude towards these kids made them feel special.
I have a saying-"you can't teach class". Your group has class because of the way you treated these soldiers. I would strongly recommend your group for your talent but more importantly for your ability to make these special kids feel appreciated.

I want to thank you and the rest of the Atlanta Showstoppers for the first class entertainment you provided at Becca and Walker's wedding. Your band is incredible and is the perfect choice for a wedding reception. Thank you, too, for your excellent communication with Becca in planning the song list. The memories of the flowers, food and decor will fade, but we will never, ever forget the band!

It was a pleasure to have the Atlanta Showstoppers at the Figure 8 Island Yacht Club. The band sounded fantastic and people are still talking about how much fun they had. I can't wait to have you back...and neither can my members! Word normally travels fast around such a small island, but news about the Showstoppers had traveled before the night even ended!

I just found my first internet connection in France. We arrived in Nice today after a few days in Paris and Cannes. We wanted to let you know what an amazing job we thought The Atlanta Showstoppers did at our wedding. We had an awesome time and could not have selected a better band!!!! Everyone was still talking about you ya'll at brunch Sunday morning!!! I would love a CD from the wedding!!!!
Thank you!!!

I've actually just dropped you a note in the mail, but it can't hurt to reiterate how grateful I am for your help in finding the Atlanta Showstoppers to be our wedding band! As I mentioned countless times in emails, we wanted a band who could really lead the night in to being a super fun party. And they did it! You know, Jamie and I didn't really think about the fact that we hadn't even heard our band live until right when we got out on the dance floor (we had just a few other things going on :). But when they started with Jack Johnson, and we heard them pull it off almost as well as the real thing, we knew we were in for a great night.
I had more people tell me what a great band they were, and it was nice to be able to tell them how professional and accommodating they were as well. Glenn was really intent on talking back and forth so that he had a good idea of what we were looking for and the environment we wanted to create for our wedding reception. I was so appreciative.
All in all, it was the greatest night of our lives (for so many reasons), and I appreciate the part you played.

“Twenty-five years of catering wedding receptions is enough to write a Wedding Book. We were recently introduced to the Atlanta Showstoppers for an outside “Father of the Bride” style wedding reception in Augusta, and our town is upside down! They appealed to every member of the audience and the dance floor stayed full all night. I was happy to have the food upstaged by the band because we enjoyed them, too!”

The sound and the high energy level of the band was fabulous and the feedback from our members has been great! We also appreciated the music selection which appealed to the widely diverse age group of the audience. The Atlanta Showstoppers are extremely talented and professional and we look forward to having you come back and perform at Atlanta Country Club again."

The Atlanta Showstoppers were the hit of our entire wedding! My guests were absolutely blown away by how amazing they sounded. I must have gotten over a dozen comments from my guests about the band!
Thanks again!

The Atlanta Showstoppers were fantastic! We have heard rave reviews from everyone. You could probably get a feel for how great a time everyone was having by watching the crowded dance floor! The music and singing were as good as it gets.Thank you so much for making Liz's wedding reception a big success! I just wish I had another daughter!

As a photographer that has attended hundreds of weddings and heard hundreds of bands, I have to say that the Atlanta Showstoppers are the best band I have ever seen. Awesome talent and energy. They obviously know how to put on a great show and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

“The Atlanta Showstoppers were the perfect band for my 70th birthday party. They played a perfect mix of laid back music during the sit down dinner and then brilliantly picked it up for the duration of the party. We got so many compliments. Glenn handled all the details so we didn’t have to worry about anything. I want them back for my 80th!”
Stanley Slutzky
What a great band! They played for my daughter's wedding and were unbelievable! The song selection was so much better than any other cover band I had ever heard and everything they played sounded just like the original artists - even better in some cases. The vocals are as good as it gets and those horns are killer. When I heard them play another venue a few weeks later, they were just as good the second time.
