This band rocks!!!  It's the only cover band we've booked that when someone screams out Free Bird they actually play it…and play it well!

Great music, great vocals with a ton of energy and connection to the audience. You have people bounding out their seats to dance.  Thanks for your wonderful performances over the past two years at our community sponsored Avon Saturday Nights Out-Downtown.  You have helped us to realize a goal of bringing intergenerational family entertainment to Avon.

I just wanted to say "THANK YOU SO MUCH" for being a part of the benefit that we put on for the Smith Family.  I have only received rave reviews regarding your band.  It was a special night with all of Mamie's family and friends coming together in her support.  Your thoughtfulness has not gone unnoticed!!!   Just when you think people have given all that they can you find special group of people who are willing to give even more.

Again Thank you,

Tina, Heather and Committee

As an old friend of the bass player I was aware that a few basement and garage sessions had gotten out of hand and that they actually planned on performing in public!   My wife and I showed up at an early gig last year just for laffs.  To our surprise, the band had it together!   They were tight, they knew how to play and the songs they covered were the best.  At subsequent gigs, their play-list got bigger and they just got better and better!  Bob's Brother's Band might not be invited to do a Super Bowl Halftime Show, but they're still darn good!  -Jeffrey J. Chafitz

Bob's Brother's Band is a great mix of talents that allows them to cover a lot of material.  They have fun doing it too.  As the director of entertainment for the Avon Summer Festival, I appreciate groups that are flexible and easy to work with.  Such is the case with B.B.B.  They're a great group of people with a fun band.  GO CHECK THEM OUT!

Bob's Brother's Band recently played at a benefit concert at Milestones for the Rochester Irish Festival. The band, the only non-traditional Irish band that played, brought down the house! Typically the Irish organizations ask Irish bands to play at benefits and this time we decided to break out of that mode a bit and we were not disappointed! The band is a lot of fun and plays a great variety of music, and had people singing and dancing along. The Irish community would like to thank Bob's Brother's Band for a "rockin" good time and for giving up a beautiful Sunday afternoon to help support the Rochester Irish Festival ( I think we may even have Bob’s brother  interested in learning a new "Irish" instrument!)       -  Betsy Prince, Event Organizer

If you're younger than 40, you'll get to hear good music that doesn't get played enough. If you're older than that, it's like a time machine... a really cool time machine.

I finally got the chance to see Bob' Brother's Band on Memorial Day Weekend at Milestone's in Rochester at a fundraiser to benefit the Rochester Irish Festival. They were fantastic from start to finish. There was so much energy and talent from each member of the band. I knew every song they played, from Van Morrison to Wild Cherry. They make you want to get up and dance!! And if you look carefully at their song list on the website you may be able to scam a beer when they ask you a trivia question.

A huge Thank You to Avon’s own Bob’s Brother’s Band

Who donated their time and talent at a benefit concert for AIDS orphans in South Africa. The band helped to raise over $5,000 for the Organization GDCU.

For more information about AIDS orphans in South Africa, visit GDCU.org

I want to thank you so much for playing at our kids wedding on Sept 23rd.  It was fantastic!! We had a great time.  Hope you did too!  It would not have been the same without you guys.   A great big KUDO for learning "Free Bird"  It was great! Hope to see you guys play again soon.

 

Sincerely

Patty Sorel

As we were looking for a band to fulfill our billing for a fundraising benefit at Milestones on 10/1, we came across Bob's Brother's Band.  The name alone shouted FUN and they certainly backed it up with their performance.  Not only were they musically talented and adept at working the crowd, all the band members were professional and supportive; really sinking their teeth into partnering with us in making the event a super success!  We appreciate that they highlighted our benefit in their fan newsletter as well as promoted it at their 9-5 gigs.  I look forward to collaborating with them again for future events!  Tell Bob, his brother's band ROCKS!

Thank you for making my first annual Turkey Bash a HUGE success!  I know that it is the beginning of a great relationship.  I loved the new song that you wrote and the comments of your talents are radiating throughout the community.  I am also thankful that you let me “think” that I can play tambourine with the band – it was a great time!!!  I love being able to say, “I am friends with the band!”

When we were working out the details of our 20th anniversary party, we knew that having BBB would make it a great party - people love dancing to you guys, and we have a dancing’ group of friends.  We were not disappointed!  You guys were great - thanks for all of your energy! 

 

- Meg

You guys rock!  We had a fabulous time!  Music for all ages, crazy dancing and most especially—FREEBIRD !!! (but we had no lighters)  Kudos to a memorable night.  Many thanks again.

A couple of emails received by Janice Barrett after the Swain Ski Patrol Party

 

We had a great time last night. You all did a wonderful job.  I hope everyone got home safely. Tell your husband that we think the band is terrific.  Please let us know if he's scheduled to do the Conesus thing again this year.  I told Knobby that when I retire from the patrol I want to have a party and hire his (John’s) band.   - Jean Eldridge

The band was outstanding! We really enjoyed listening to them. Brian (Steve’s son) enjoyed it too. Please thank John for giving him the tour and inviting him up. He was thrilled!  Will they be playing anywhere that we could take Brian to see them? Let me know. Have a great summer!  - Steve Duncan

Don,

 

Just wanted to give you some feedback on Sat. night.  EVERYONE LOVED THE BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I think you may have picked up some groupies!!!

They are all talking about the website and the pictures.  Everyone loved the music and will be watching the website to see where you will be playing next!!

Tim,

 

Now I know the REAL reason you were picked to be the Supt. --you can JAM!!! 

Seriously, I really enjoyed your performance tonight and I found myself thinking..."how many schools can say their principal/Supt. gets up on stage and performs and the kids LOVE it???!!"   

Thanks for sharing your talent and enthusiasm with all of us, Tim.  

 

- Comments from a Geneseo parent

"Bob's Brother's Band has quickly become one of our favorite bands to enjoy here at Swain!  Their range in talent, style, and musical selection provides something for everyone!  Our guests may be tired at the end of a day of skiing and boarding,  but everyone seems to get a second wind when they know Bob's Brother's Band is going to play, and the Shamut rocks with a room full of happy feet!"

Dear John,

 

I am long , long overdue to write you and all the members of your band.  I have no excuse except that I can’t seem to sit down.

 

I want to tell you all that I was overcome when you played a Viennese Waltz- and then you said that it was for me!  I was transcended!  I was waltzing when it had become impossible; no one-no band-knew how to play a Viennese Waltz.  I had begged every group to please, just play one. They didn’t even in The Pierre Hotel in New York City, they didn’t, and you did!

 

I have never been happier and didn’t thank you properly because I was in another world.  But I’m thanking you all now.

 

Thank You, Thank You.

You are the best!
