CLIENT FEEDBACK:  

We had 120 guests. We had Mike provide a 7 piece band. They absolutely made the party. Mike learned our first dance song and gave it some Dangeroux flavor. You will not go wrong with his band. A DJ just cannot touch the energy, flavor, funk and showmanship that the talented musicians with Dangeroux Mike Music bring to the table. We didn't even bother picking songs. Mike is a turn key vendor and the final product is worth every penny. We could not have been happier and hope to attend an event/wedding they play in the future.

We used a 3-piece steel drum ensemble from Mike's group for a graduation party. Everything was great! The pricing was competitive, the group was professional and our guests had nothing but good things to say about the music. They really turned what could have been a ho-hum party into memories for everyone involved.

Our event was a huge success and we received countless comments on the music. Mike and the rest of the band were professional, talented, energetic & cheerful. We had them play ambience music as a quartet during the cocktail phase of the evening. Later, as an 8 piece band, they rocked the house with funky favorites, gladly playing requests. The band was accommodating when we were forced to make a last minute change to our end time, which was much appreciated. We are planning to book them next year again!

Mike was extremely organized and professional prior to the event which provided me with a comfort level my money was being well spent. As far as his talent he is the finest most entertaining guitar player I have seen. He is welcome in my home anytime.

My husband and I prior to our wedding decided to look on Gigmasters for assistance in finding a band. As soon as we heard their samples, we knew immediately they were the band. Their song list was OUTSTANDING. My husbands family stated that they never dance and didn't think they would, but that all changed once they heard this band. They made a family of non-dancers, get up and dance. Mike Dangeroux, made our wedding wonderful.

Hello Mike, Just wanted to give you a big thanks for entertaining at my wedding! For all of you that read this want to tell you that you can't go wrong with Dangerous Mike Music! I was just married on August 25th. I am a musician myself and I couldn't have thought to hire a DJ when almost all my friends I invited to the wedding were also musicians. So from a musicians point of view...Mike won't let you down, he and his band were phenomenal! I also had Mike hire a couple of horn players. Sax & Tombone. That was a really good Idea!! Now to the band...I really loved your playing and talent "right in the pocket!" You really had people dancing! Thanks,Dave

MiMike Dangeroux and his band were fantastic from beginning to end! To begin with, he was extremely helpful when I first hired him, working with me to accommodate my budget. He answered my e-mails and phone calls promptly (something that in my experience doesn’t always happen and can be just that much more stressful when you’re the bride). At the wedding, they were just so much fun and truly added to making the night a special one. They let me and my friends sing at the mic and seemed to enjoy it rather than be bothered by it. The island music (which we requested) was great and the band was tight. If I could go back and redo the night I wouldn't change a thing!

Mike exceeded my expectations...many people were saying this band was incredible during the wedding. I was so pleased with Mikes performance I gave them a $700 tip. Mike was accomodating , professional and is extremely talented. If I were a teacher they would get an A for performance, A for talent and A for professionalism. Todd Page Groom

We did not know what to expect hiring a band off the interent, but Mike and his crew not only put on a great show for our event they drove through a blizzard to play. With out a doubt some the best talent we have ever hired from a band. Thanks for everything Mike hope to see you soon. Auto-Wares Inc Grand Rapids, MI

Mike is absolutely fabulous! He and his band are consummate professionals in every sense of the word: very accommodating, very punctual, and incredible performers! They played for our annual company party to rave reviews. Our theme revolved around a Caribbean cruise, and his steel drum orchestra fit the venue perfectly. Mike was in frequent communication with me from the time I asked for the bid on Gigmasters until the party was ended so I never had to worry about the music. I highly recommend him and his band!

Mike came with his reggae band to our Pumpkin party. They were absolutely wonderful. They got the crowd up and dancing. The majority of the group hadn't heard reggae before and they loved it. I would recommend them to anyone. They were very professional, on time and did a great job especially considering it was very cold and the party was outside!!

We loved the band. This was for a neighborhood picnic with about 160 people of all ages. Everyone loved the band and their music. Mike and his band were very friendly and professional. As the date closed in I e-mailed Mike a few times and he always got right back to me. He called to let me know when he would be arriving so I didn't have to worry. I was more than 100% satisfied!!

Mike Dangeroux and Soundstation were AWESOME. My husband's 40th birthday party was a success and my guests are still raving about how good the band was. I really enjoyed the music but more importantly, they were professional, prompt and accommodating. My party was running a little behind schedule, but Mike and his band were sensitive and really waited until the right time to start the music. I plan to hire them again, and again! Thanks!

Mike Dangeroux was great!!! We had them play at our wedding reception in Dayton, Ohio. Everyone at our reception thought they were outstanding & asked how we had found them. There was never a lull in the dancing either. The dance floor was covered all night. We even asked them to stay a little later and we agreed on an amount quickly and they were vey accomodating. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great band and a band that goes above & beyond.

Performing at our wedding, Mike Dangeroux and his band of hyper-talented musicians brought down the house! In fact, they were *unbeleivably* good! Starting out with some appropriately mellow jazz during the dinner portion of the evening, they soon cranked up the energy and had everyone rocking out on the dance floor. Their arrangements were original, their playlist was diverse, and their execution was impeccable. Everyone we spoke with at our wedding (nearly 150 guests) commented on how much they enjoyed the band. Mike and the boys truly made a great event even more memorable. Did we mention that they were friendly, gracious and accommodating, too? We can't say enough good things about them!

They were excellent - Mike played to our group - he quickly assessed the atmosphere and played for it (it was a Holiday party, not anniversary party). Had great comments from everyone that they thought they were excellent. Would definately use them again for another function! Thanks.

THANK YOU Mike Dangeroux and Gigmasters for making my event a huge success! The band was incredible; their talent and energy was amazing and my guests are still raving about them! I've never seen a rock-reggae band before that has such amazing energy and stage presence! What a treat!!! Thanks again!

They did a wonderful job! The wedding guests are still all talking about the great time they had at the reception, mainly due to the incredible band! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have an incredible reception or party. Everyone was dancing - from 18 to 82!

The band was awesome at our wedding reception. They were very flexible with our requests and able to work with us on every aspect to make everything easier that day. Everyone was asking how we found these guys. We also lost power for a few minutes and no one could even tell cause the drums and horns still kept playing until we got the problem fixed. Mike even called me up on stage during the last song so I could play guitar with the band. I will never forget that! Thanks guys, well done! josh
