"What a joy to have you again creating a perfect evening for our guests. Even those who heard you for the first time agreed you were some of the best musicians and vocalists in all the area, and no doubt a fabulous time was had by all. You are a joy to work with, and it’s good to be able to rest in the assurance that the evenings entertainment will always be a great success. Thanks Summerdaze!!!"

“WOW! This is the first word that comes to mind when I heard Summerdaze play the first song at my wedding. I did a lot of research for the perfect band for our wedding day. I came across their web site and thought they were pretty good. When I made the call and spoke to Mitch I knew I had found the perfect band. During the anticipation of our day Mitch was in touch with me by email and phone to ensure he had all the details to make my day perfect. My big day was unbelievable!! The band made everything come together. I had guests commenting on the band saying they were very good. They definitely know how to entertain the guests. The band had us playing newly wed games with our shoes. (You will just have to book them for your wedding to find out more about this.) It was a blast and the guests really enjoyed it. Some of my guests were so impressed they have already booked with them for upcoming events. I have been getting calls from some of my out of town guests asking if they will travel. They are not just a band, they are six fun loving angels sent here to bless us all!! If you are looking for a band to be part of a special event Summerdaze is the band you have been looking for. THANK YOU IS NOT ENOUGH TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH IT MEANT”

“Summerdaze was fantastic!! Our guests and I thoroughly enjoyed the sound and selection of songs played this past New Years Eve. We could have kept dancing into the wee hours of the New Year. I would recommend Summerdaze to any group looking to book a great dance band. Thanks for making our Marriott New Years Eve party a big success!!”

“Our daughter and son-in-law (that sounds great!) enjoyed your music selections, and judging from the participation on the dance floor, people of all ages were having lots of fun. Your song selections were great - you created a fun atmosphere that people of all ages enjoyed. Al and I had a wonderful time listening and dancing to your music, and we heard many comments during the night that our guests agreed with us! Working with you has been a pleasure since our first phone call - you made great suggestions, and you and the band followed through with everything you promised and more! It was a magical evening, and thank you all for being part of it! Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas with your families! We hope to hear you play again soon!”

"We must thank you Mitch and your marvelous band that made our daughter's wedding so successful. We wanted a fun wedding and the live band made it. Everyone loved your variety of music and it certainly pleased everyone of all ages. I would hire your band again in a heartbeat if the occasion ever presents itself. We can't thank you enough for being there for our daughter's wedding. Your band is excellent and certainly made the reception a fun party. You were so easy to work with and took over on your own so we could be busy attending our guests. Everyone complimented us on the great band we chose and how much they enjoyed your music."

“After being in the Food and Beverage Business for over 42 years now, I’ve certainly had the opportunity to hire, fire, and witness some exceptional entertainment, (some exceptionally bad, and some exceptionally good). Summerdaze falls, unquestionably in the latter category. It’s all about playing to the audience, and I don’t think I’ve ever had the pleasure to witness anyone do it better. You are blessed with a group of talented musicians, each with a desire to exceed the expectations of not only the person that hired them, but the audience they are playing to. I can’t begin to thank you, and the rest of your professionals, enough. I sincerely look forward to a long, and mutually prosperous relationship together. With kind and best regards,”

"SummerDaze - thank you so much for making the “Melissa’s Dreams for Connor” Gala & Auction a night to remember! Everyone had an amazing time. Your willingness to work with me to make the night a success was key! I look forward to working with you all in the future. Thank you again and take care!"

“Summerdaze was great to work with, very professional and laid back. The music was a hit with the crowd in Uptown Shelby and we are still getting calls and emails for them to return for our Alive After Five outdoor concert series next year. Thank you."
Allison L. Gragg | Uptown Shelby Association Inc. | Marketing Coordinator | agragg@uptownshelby.org | Shelby, NC
“For most events, success is heavily weighed by the tastiness of food, creative decorations, and enjoyable entertainment. However, if Summerdaze is playing, this does not apply. We could’ve served peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and left our ballroom bare! They were amusing, energetic, hard-working, and an absolute delight! As soon as they started playing, it was no longer about the way everything looked or tasted, but rather how it sounded; our event finally came to life. Many bands consider themselves lucky to find gigs, but in this situation, we were lucky to find the band!”
Laura Cady | Special Events Coordinator | Providence Country Club | lcady@providencecc.com | Charlotte, NC
"You all were great, not only did we have a great time dancing to all of our favorite music, but YOU all had a great time too, which made it even more of a celebration. I can't tell you how many people have asked us how we found such a great band.....great entertainment, great music and great people to work with. Other than the wedding service itself, the best thing we did for our wedding was have you!! We know who to call when we need live music for an event. Thank you again for making our wedding celebration a true celebration."
Sarah and Al Prudhomme | Charlotte, NC
"Thank you SummerDaze for a great show on Saturday during the Mount Holly Springfest!! What a great addition to our event. You are all very talented and WOW was that performance awesome! Our crowds (of all ages) loved you and have asked that we have you back again next year. You really know how to entertain the crowds with a broad variety of music. It was great to work with such professionals and how easy you made it all. I know we will be having you join us again next year for the 35th nnual Mt. HAolly Springfest – I’ll be in touch once we set the date! Thank you again for helping make Springfest a huge success – we couldn’t have done it without you."

"My husband recently celebrated his 50th birthday. I exhausted the Internet and all my resources to locate the perfect band for a 70's celebration. I didn't want too much disco, too much rock. I wanted a good variety band that I felt comfortable with. WOW! When I discovered Summerdaze, I hit the jackpot! The perfect blend of rock, country, soul, rhythm & blues, and beach tunes. The sax player was awesome, the guitarists were excellent, vocals were tight and in perfect tune, and I can't say enough about the professionalism of their band leader, Mitch Simpson. Mitch worked with my budget, a very tight time line and produced a perfect evening of entertainment, complete with music, lights and lots of crowd-pleasing action for our blow-out party! I can't wait for another opportunity to work with Mitch and the whole gang that make up Summerdaze!"

"When I was asked to change from a DJ to a Band for our corporate party I was leery. But I do have to say that SUMMERDAZE was the best change I made. The dance floor stayed busy all night and folks really enjoyed the music. Thank you Summerdaze for one of the best parties ever."

"Energetic, professional and totally in tune with our event, The SUMMERDAZE BAND entertained young and old alike for our 2 Cool 4 School Motor6cle Run in Shelby, North Carolina. Band members left the stage to engage the audience, worked in tandem with our event DJ, and never let the 90-degree-plus heat interfere with their showmanship or performance. We loved them, and we’ll be inviting them back for our Thursday night concert series in 2007.”
