This band is the real deal. From the beginning, they were very accommodating and flexible with us every step of the way. At the party, they were excellent. They played a wide variety of music and kept the dance floor packed at all times. There were times when they even participated with the crowd. Overall, it was a great experience and we could not have been happier. Book these guys! A+ for the Radio Nation Band. -- Turning Stone Casino and Spa Brian C, Verona, NY, 8/28/2010

Radio Nation Band recently performed at our wedding and they were punctual, professional, and most importantly a great time. They played a huge range of music and every song sounded fantastic. We had the band play for our ceremony, the cocktail hour, during dinner, and the for our reception and we were very happy with every part of their performance. They incorporated the audience throughout the evening but the best part by far were the blow-up guitars they handed out for us to play along with the band. The band was truly one of the best and most memorable parts of our wedding. I would highly recommend Radio Nation Band to anyone looking for a fun band who you can depend on for your big day.

Thank You Radio Nation Band ......Everyone raved about you guys and how energetic and interactive you are! You really got everyone out on the dance floor... and kept 'em there!

Radio Nation has seen a 25% increase in our internet activity with over 3000 viewers this last twelve months with this year shaping up to be our best ever !

Guys:

I see that Lisa posted a testimonial already. Here's another, which
you're welcome to post as well:



Radio Nation played at our wedding, and they were phenomenal. My new
wife (Lisa T., who left her own comments below) and I are tough
customers; when we go to weddings, we're always the ones grumbling about
the band. But there was nothing to grumble about with Radio Nation. We
had a highly diverse group of guests, and everyone loved the band---the
teenagers loved them; the octogenarians loved them; the aging hippies
loved them; the young professionals loved them. The band went far out
of their way to make us happy, learning a new song at our request,
cheerfully tolerating our constant changes of mind about how many sets
we wanted and how long the sets should be, and allowing our friends to
hook into their equipment so they could play their own instruments during
band breaks. They were superb musicians, and they were fun to watch as
well as listen to. Hire them!- Steve 4/24/2010

Radio Nation did a great job getting everyone out of their seats, which was our goal. We love their sound and their vocalists are terrific. They were *very* accommodating: some friends of ours brought instruments to play a hora (Jewish wedding dance) and Radio Nation very graciously shared the stage and allowed our friends to hook into their sound system. They learned a new-to-them song to play for a first dance and did a great job with it. I highly recommend them!

Every time you play here you get better and better! Love the Michael Jackson Medley!!!! - Diane and Laura B. 3/10

Dear Band Members
I just wanted to drop a quick note and say your band is PHENOMENAL. I play keyboards and do karaoke every Thursday night at Finger Lakes and I must say; it pales in comparison to the real talent I saw this past Saturday night. Thanks for letting me be a part of the entertainment as a quick "Michael Jackson body-double". I had a great time. Please let me know where you will be next and I'll show up in full costume for your Michael Jackson Medley. People tend to get a "kick" out of it. Thanks again. - Will G.

"Absolutely the greatest Toga Party EVER!!!" November 14th

Web-activinty report for September

TRNB is high-energy entertainment. Top 40, Classics, and Pop/Rock are carefully mixed and performed to the delite of the audience, young and old. The atmosphere is alive, and the melodies keep coming. There is plenty of visual action and appeal, as TRNB share their talents and musical skills. The vocals add the spice that instills feeling. The often familiar lyrics encouraged the audience to identify and participate in the experience. Music from movies, hits from the past and present infused enough excitement to keep your feet moving, sounds continue to vibrate in your body and voices from the crowd sing along. The artistry is first-rate. The total event is fun-loving.

We loved Radio Nation Band - very professional and easy to work with. We put our wedding together in a 6 weeks and Shimi was proactive contacting us to make sure details were ironed out. It was on us that we did not have details worked out and we were happy to wing it. Overall they were great and created fantastic energy. They were a blast and went the extra distance to make sure the room was rockin'.

Glenora's "Lobster and Leaves"

was a HUUUUUGHE success !

Over a thousand people during the two day event on September 19th and 20th

Now that Jen and I are back from our honeymoon, we just wanted to thank you
and the rest of radio nation for making our wedding such a great time. I've
had multiple people - young and old - say how fantastic the music was, and
that they haven't danced like that in a long time. The band was great at
getting everyone up and moving. We'd also like to thank you for your help
in keeping the evening running smoothly. There were a lot of details that
involved the band (a large wedding party to introduce, various entrance and
first dance songs to cue up and play at the right time, dinner music, cake
cutting, etc etc), and you kept track of them all and made sure that Jen and
I had time to relax and have fun at the party!

Many thanks and we wish you and the band the best of luck. Please feel free
to post this email on your web page or use us as a reference.

"The RNB clearly enjoys playing/performing. Our party seemed to enjoy themselves almost as much as the RNB seemed to enjoy themselves. We have difficulty imagining a more attentive and funny party band. Our party was a wedding reception for our only daughter. RNB made us wish we had at least one more daughter!! Highly recommended. Fun is guaranteed!"

"For a successful event with lots of rave reviews, hire Radio Nation Band.
Our committee hesitated to have a band with an audience primarily made up of women; however, the dance floor was packed. Shimi's tribute to Louie
Armstrong was a hit!" May 5th 2009

Hi Rosemarie,
I can't begin to thank-you and the band for making my parents 40th
anniversary party absolutely amazing! Everyone had a wonderful time
and couldn't say enough about your performance. You really had a way
of getting everyone on the dance floor...even people that usually
don't dance! I am recommending you to everyone I know! You really
made the night!! My parents had such a great time and haven't stopped
talking about you! Your music is perfect for guests of all ages and
you all are so talented and professional. We will be calling you
again for upcoming events!
Thanks again,
Lisa T.

As mother of the bride, I would like to give the band an A+. You were
not only a delight to deal with but you were also FANTASTIC! You kept
the program on schedule. I think everyone could have danced until the
sun rose because you had such energy and variety.

As a Director of a million dollar gala in the Washington DC area for
many years, I have worked with many different bands and you were
perfect! I wish you all great success and would love to be a reference
for the Radio Nation Band!

Patricia D..... 8/31/08

you guys were great!!! I was trying to hurry
through the pictures and dinner as quickly as we could b/c I couldn't
wait for the dancing and you guys were awesome! Everyone was dancing the
entire night and that's mainly attributable to you ... you kept the
party going right up until the Aurora Inn kicked us out and I could tell
you were all having fun and looked like you would have kept going which
made everyone else feel the same way! Not only a fun bunch but you
sounded great too!!! Thanks so much for making my wedding day even more
special and memorable

If we know of anyone else getting married up in the Finger Lakes, we'll
definitely recommend you!!

Thank-you to the Radio Nation Band for making our wedding such a special and memorable event! One of the most important things for a wedding is the entertainment and we know we made the right decision with the Radio Nation Band! Each member of the band gives it their all and it doesn't go unrecognized! From my nine year old cousin to my 97 year old grandmother, everyone couldn't help but to join the party and have a good time. I mean you guys are pure entertainers and believe me, it shows! Once again, thank-you and God Bless!

Love, Mr. & Mrs. Michael R ......7/23/08

"Radio Nation Band was a fantastic choice for our wedding. The band is extremely talented and entertaining. They kept our family and friends dancing all night. Even the caterers were having a good time. The variety of music was great and the performers enthusiastic! Every one at the reception kept asking who these guys were because they were so impressed. HIGHLY recommended for a wedding or any other event in need of some great live music. Thanks to the band for a great time."

Your band was awesome last night! You guys/gals are the best!!!! Rosemarie and Shimi are great performers! What a fun
group!!!!! Nice people! Hope to see you again on stage soon! .........6/6/08

"RadioNation is an energetic and versatile party band, with a knowledgeable range of music from various eras,
and the musicianship and vocals to match. They're especially strong with '60s and '70s soul, which is
right in my wheelhouse, and just right if you're hoping to dance. And shouldn't we all be hoping to
dance? Mostly, these guys (and a gal) are fun, which is what you want a party band to be."......... 6/09/08

“We hired the Radio Nation Band for our American Legion dinner fundraiser, and I gotta tell you…they were AWESOME!  They had us dancing all night long, from the first song to the very last. We would definitely love to have them back next year!
If you are looking for a high-energy, great party band…these guys are it!”

I would recommend The RadioNation Band to anyone who wants a band with a quality sound and genuine love for music, and who isn't able to pay the sometimes outrageous costs of a live band. RadioNation was the only band who worked with us and was flexible. RadioNation is willing to do the show for what you could afford because they have a genuine love of performing and of making people happy with music. 3/08

The Radio Nation Band brought excitement to an enthused dance crowd when
playing at our Christmas party (2007) in Atlanta, GA. My employees and customers were excited from the first time they saw Shimi in his bright "glittering" vest to the last song of the night (after midnight). We thought so much of the band that we invited them to our party at our home that lasted until 3:00 a.m. Thanks to the band and we look forward to seeing you again next year. 1/ 08

David C - Owner Distribution by Air - GA.

Shimi, We had an absolute blast as always with you guys. And Rosemarie gets more beautiful and more talented every time I see her!!! I love the new sound, if you want my unprofessional opinion, you sound better than ever! It isn't that difficult to find people who can sing, but you guys are not only unbelievable vocalists and musicians....you actually know how to ENTERTAIN! I could have listened to you guys all night long and my only regret was that we had to end so early. David told me you guys rocked in Atlanta the following night for his DBA party and everyone loved you. I wish I had more parties throughout the year so I could hear you all more. Thanks again for putting up with me each year and I can't wait to see you all again. Next time.....a venue with no time limit! Ha! Tell the band they rocked and I'll see you next year!!!!!! 1/08

“This Band was fabulous. We had a Jack and Jill wedding shower for our son and his bride to be, 300 people attended. Everyone raved about the band and I’m sure they will be back on Nantucket Island again.  If they did not have another place to go the next day they would still be here playing, because the guests were ready to pass the hat to keep them here. We cannot say enough. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome “ 8/07

“This band is far and away the best live performance art band that my new husband and I have seen ever! It was an absolute pleasure working with Shimi and the gang and we are desperately trying to think of the next event we might be able to hire them for. The price is right and they will NOT disappoint. They even learned a rather difficult song for our first dance and pulled it off flawlessly, to the point where my girlfriends were crying tears of joy. We’ll remember you always! “ 9/07

“This Band was AWESOME! They are worth every penny we paid for them and then some. I can’t imagine what our wedding would have been like without them. They were very easy to work with as well as VERY entertaining. They’re style of music caters to crowds of all ages, from teenagers to people in their 60’s & 70’s. Everybody was dancing from the time they started playing all the way to the end of the night (and our families & friends normally don’t dance). Everyone at the reception had a great time I would recommend them to anyone for any kind of function.”8/07
