Hello Ted - Thank you for the opportunity to share. The band was WONDERFUL!! I can't express how many positive comments we received about them. On an even more personal note, I greatly appreciated Bobby. He allowed me to drop by his recording studio and practice singing Etta James "At Last." We surprised everyone at the reception with a solo to my husband. It was such a special moment, and a gift for Bobby and the band to allow me to do it.

They had the perfect mix of songs. In addition, Bobby mixed 2 songs together for my Dad and me which we took dance lessons to. (Same for me and my husband). What a n opportunity to do choreographed dances to live music! I can't say enough about In the Pocket. They contributed to making our wedding a tremendous weekend! Regards,

I arrived during "At Last" and stayed for about 45 minuets of In The Pocket's set. I got to see a great cross-section of both slow dance numbers and party tunes. They were really great. The female lead vocalist was phenomenal as was the lead male vocalist, who was totally on-point from everything from "Carolina Girls" to "Kiss." ...a great touch of enthusiasm and energy. Since the wedding photos ran late, and therefore everything else also ran late, In The Pocket started late. Instead of taking normal breaks, In The Pocket took the initiative to play a non-stop show after the dinner set. Totally made up for lost time, and made both planner and clients happy.

The band InThePocket was perfect, especially their last set. The dance floor was packed at the end of the evening. We could not have been more pleased. Many thanks! Many thanks for all of your help.

Was fabulous as always, thanks again for all of your hard work and preparation. My husband Dean tries to be a musical critic and he was very impressed with the band. He has to get up @ 3:30 every am to go to work and said as we were headed out the door on Friday evening, 'You know I am tired and we aren't going to stay until 11:00.' Well, we ended up in the lobby leaving as the band was playing 'Last Dance' at 11

Your band In The Pocket was terrific Saturday night! I was very impressed. Thank you.

It was SUCH a pleasure working with you. Loved all of you and the music ROCKED! Thank you so much for all of your work to make the Melrose/Lunsford wedding a success. The crowd was constantly on their feet and the bride and groom were thrilled. I am really looking forward to the next time we get to work together. Hopefully, sooner than later!

First of all, I wanted to tell you it was a pleasure meeting you and the other members of In The Pocket. We thoroughly enjoyed having you all there with us. I've received a great deal of feedback, all of it positive. Some comments, and I quote, "interactive, very talented, great variety of songs, great band, best band we've ever had . . . " I think you get the idea. I've copied below a comment from one of our Anderson office employees which I think sums it up nicely: "Was fabulous as always, thanks again for all of your hard work and preparation. Dean (my husband) tries to be a musical critic and he was very impressed with the band. He has to get up @ 3:30 every am to go to work and said as we were headed out the door on Friday evening, "You know I am tired and we aren't going to stay until 11:00." Well, we were in the lobby leaving as the band was playing "Last Dance." Thank you for helping make our party fun and enjoyable for everyone.

The band’s performance was excellent! The song selection was great, and their breaks were short. The band members are not only talented singers and musicians; they have a wonderful stage presence! They had everyone dancing all night. Thank you again for your help in making our party a success! I look forward to working with you again next year.

Everyone loved the band, especially the over 50 crowd. We really wanted a band that could play for all ages, so I think they nailed it. My parents were very pleased with the music and we would recommend them to others. Let me know if anything more specific would be helpful.

First let me say how impressed Jenn and I were with In the Pocket. The band and its performance was everything we had wished. Your band made our special day even more special. Jenn and I give the band an overall rating of Excellent. Everything about the band was great - professionalism, timeliness, sound, and flexibility. With regard to the flexibility aspect, Jenn and I were extremely thankful for accepting your offer and suggestion of playing outside during dinner. As you know, originally we were concerned of having the band playing from the inside while our guests were outside under the tent. Well, you guys pulled this off and we thought it started the night off perfectly and it only got better once the band moved inside. I know it's good to hear constructive criticism on how you can improve upon things but we really can't offer anything. We would definitely recommend In the Pocket to our friends and family. In fact, we have already been contacted as a reference. Good luck to the band and thanks again for being a part of our special day.
Dave and Jenn Neely
