They were fantastic and so easy to work with! I am sure the new ball chairman will be contacting you soon but I feel sure you can go ahead and hold them for us next year. Thanks and tell them how much we enjoyed them!

Rick, They did a fantastic job!!! I have heard so many people talking about how great the band was. We had a few children in the wedding, and they got up on stage to dance; the band members were so wonderful and patient with them. One of my bridesmaids is even trying to get them for her wedding next August in Savannah. Thanks so much!

Shyrod and Rick, Just wanted to thank you for the great job that you did at our daughter's wedding last Saturday night. We've been overwhelmed with compliments about how great the band was and how much fun you were. I've already given your name to someone who is interested in using you in the future. Not only was the band fun but they conducted themselves as professionals in every way. Thank you,
Donald & Terri Sprayberry

The wedding this past weekend was FABULOUS -- Papa Sol was nothing short of incredible. The crowd of 325 went from the ages of 2 years to 88 years and EVERYONE had fun dancing. They are high energy, engaging with the crowd, happy, and ready to do whatever their client wants to make their event a success. Shyrod is professional; he was on time and did everything he said he would do for our daughter's wedding. The music was appropriate for the audience and was not too loud as so often one finds at weddings or dances. I would be honored to be a reference for anyone considering Papa Sol -- they have my unequivocal endorsement. I will be 50 individuals told me alone that they were the best dance band they had seen -- they MADE Kate and Sandy's wedding. Thank Shyrod for us all

I just wanted to write a quick note to tell you how FABULOUS Papa Sol was at our wedding on Kiawah Island! I was so impressed with their sheer presence and of course the outstanding singing! My entire reception was dancing, singing and having a ball the entire time! They allowed everyone to get on stage, sing and dance with them, including me, the bride! Nothing will make me smile in the years to come, more than the pictures of my friends and family dancing like crazy. In fact, my cousin is getting married in Hilton Head in June and is considering hiring them to play at her wedding as well! Thanks again for everything!

Sherod was AWESOME. He is probably the NICEST person that I have ever had to work with regarding a band or any other kind of vendor. The whole band was really a crowd pleaser. But again, I can’t say enough about Sherod. He was professional and adaptable. We had some limitations due to the venue, but it did not bother him in the least. He just really impressed me not only his professionalism when dealing with me, but also his talent. I was truly impressed (and I am a hard sale). I am not sure what Columbia Heart’s plans are for next year, but we will DEFINITELY keep Papa Sol on our radar. It was truly a pleasure.

Papa Sol was great! We have had nothing but rave reviews about them. They entertained everyone and got people on stage to make fools of themselves, which was the best form of entertainment.

Papa Soul rocks. They could not have been better. They played all of the right songs. No oops. Shyrod even called me on the Monday before the wedding to confirm all details. And, that was just to put my mind at ease. Courtney, the bride, danced all night long. She was wondering if James Brown had jumped into her body because she was doing moves she had never done before. She was awesome due to the music. The energy was infectious. The whole place was dancing. The best thing is that they decided not to take any breaks after 9:30 and played nonstop until 11pm. They said they did not want the energy to subside and everyone was having a blast. Our guests raved and have been calling to ask again who they were. We are definitely giving your name and theirs out to everyone. I guess you were right when you said after many selections of bands, "Now, you are onto a great band." Thanks for helping us pick the best band.
Patti McCormick

I called to tell you how pleased we were with Papa Sol. You were right when you said they would read the crowd and perform accordingly. I think it was the longest Hora ever, but everyone just kept it going. Rave reviews from all. Thanks again for your help.

Hey there - It was fabulous! I can't tell you how many comments I got about how great they were. Everyone really had a fabulous time. They kept it so upbeat all night, that when our buses came at 2am no one wanted to leave! Really they were great, everyone really loved them. Thanks so much.

I just wanted to send a thank you for the AWESOME performance at my wedding reception. Shyrod, you and your band were absolutely wonderful and you both were such a pleasure to work with! Everyone was AMAZED at how great yall were and EVERYONE wanted to know where yall were located and how I found yall and all your information. I gladly passed it out. You immediately got everyone on the dance floor and I LOVED it! I cannot tell you how grateful I am. You truly MADE my wedding and it is exactly what I had hoped for. On the way back to Atlanta, I kept thinking about what kind of party or gala I could put on here to have yall play again. haha I'm still working on it. :) You all truly made my wedding the dream I had hoped for, and it definitely went down in the Mobile history books as the most fun wedding ever!!

I will HIGHLY recommend you 2 to all of my engaged friends, now and well into the future!
