Review Centre: Tribute Bands

"Sandra K Johnson recommends Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations. This band performed Saturday in New Albany. They are phenomenal! Denise’s vocals are on point and the band is tight. Hope to see them perform again. "

"Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute : Un nouvel orchestre sur la Côte d’Azur Alors que les évènements culturels sur la Côte d’Azur comme partout en France rencontrent cet été 2020 de grandes difficultés à se maintenir en raison des contraintes sanitaires, un nouvel orchestre, dédié aux musiques des films de Quentin Tarantino vient de voir le jour : Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute. Cet orchestre composé de 10 membres, instrumentistes et chanteurs, proposent un répertoire basé sur les chansons et instrumentaux utilisés par Quentin Tarantino dans ses films. On a parfois reproché à Tarantino de ne pas commander de musique originale. Dans ses six premiers films il a préféré utiliser des pépites rock, country, rockabilly, surf music, funk, (« Reservoir Dogs », « Pulp Fiction », « Jackie Brown », « Death Proof ») mais aussi quelques extraits et effets sonores tirés de westerns, de films de série Z ou séries des années 50/60, de films de kung-fu (« Kill Bill »). A partir de 2009 et son film « Inglorious Basterds », il commence à utiliser des musiques écrites pour d’autres films, notamment de Morricone et Luis Bacalov. Il puise ainsi dans le répertoire des westerns-spaghetti. Dès lors, ses prochains films vont contenir à la fois des musiques et des chansons originales, mais aussi toujours des titres plus « vintage », choisis dans sa propre discothèque de vinyles. En dehors de ses propres réalisations, Tarantino a scénarisé et parfois aussi joué dans plusieurs autres films. Parmi eux, l’excellent « Une Nuit en Enfer » (From Dusk till Dawn) de Robert Rodriguez, dont la bande son est particulièrement rock. Tous les bikers de chaque Bandidos MC aimeraient avoir un Titti Twister pour y débuter leur soirée. C’est justement grâce à un orchestre tel que Call me Winston qu’on peut imaginer des événements, soirée thématique autour du cinéma et de l’univers décalé qu’on rencontre dans les films de Tarantino. La composition de Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute, avec section rythmique complète et section cuivres lui permet de couvrir une grande partie du répertoire utilisé dans les films de Tarantino. Un couple de chanteur/chanteuse permet encore d’élargir les possibilités. Outre le fait qu’ils sont tous d’excellents musiciens, les membres de Call me Winston développent un coté visuel « 100% Tarantinesque », avec un look inspiré des bandits de « Reservoir Dogs » ou des tueurs de « Pulp Fiction ». Construit comme un parcours musical à travers les films et la diversité de ses styles, le spectacle présenté par Call me Winston plaira à un large public. En outre, avec quelques clins d’œil çà et là, les fans de Tarantino se régaleront. "

"This is by far the best party band I have heard in a long time. They always get the crowd on their feet dancing. They are very gracious and come out to meet their fans personally at every show. Such a fun group, I highly recommend them for your next event, or just come out to see them when they are in your area. Love them! I can't say enough good things about them. "

"Dear Helene: I am writing to express my gratitude for the exceptional job you and your crew did entertaining at my wife's surprise birthday party. I must say I was somewhat hesitant to place my trust in a Cher impersonator that I found searching the internet. What won me over was the level of professionalism and attention to detail evident in all of our correspondence. Those same characteristics also came through in your performance. Every person I spoke with during and after the party had nothing but praise for the show. It was truly an Almost Cher experience full of music, humor and sex appeal. Please feel free to use me as a reference as I will be happy to tell anyone that will listen that your show is a bargain at twice the price. You have far exceeded all of my expectations and helped create a night my wife will never forget. Sincerely, John O'Connor "

"Housekeeping Week Celebration-Hyatt Regency Atlanta! Matt, better known as Michael Jackson, was fabulous! The hotel senior leadership states he was just fabulous! Matt, I booked for our international housekeeping week celebration. It's a 5-day event EACH YEAR full of Fun and Friday is the finale. We did a Casino Theme for the week and that Friday; Matt was the entertainment. Matt stayed in communication with me the entire time and he was extremely flexible. Matt had, COLORFUL LIGHTS, MICROPHONE, DJ BOOTH. The team was playing on the slot machines and the game tables then out of nowhere, MATT appeared in the mist of it! They were just AMAZED! We are a 1,200-room hotel and all we want is to see our team HAPPY! They WERE SO HAPPY! Thank you, MATT!"

"Ours is the largest Elvis festival in the world with around a hundred Elvis Tribute Artists taking part. Established in 2004, the highlight of the event is the Elvies Award Show. In 2019 we created a new diversity award and presented it to Elberace. Being honest, I was concerned how our audience of die-hard Elvis fans would support an act outside of the orthodox box. However, Elberace blew the roof off, both at the award show and also at the live show BBC broadcast from the Festival. We brought him back last year and the audience reaction was the same. Outside of actual performance , professionally as a producer, I found James very easy to work with. 100% professional and reliable. "

"My family and I would love to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You truly made my mom, Rose's 80th birthday party such a success. Elvis was and is her favorite musician. She was going to go to his last concert before he passed away but couldnt make it last minute and has regretted it ever since but you made her dreams come true at her party. For anyone wanting to hire Elvis, you are the real deal. You even got my kids and grandkids up and dancing. All the little kiddos who might not have even heard of Elvis got to know him at the party, thats how authentic the performance was. Everyone cant stop talking about how YOU made our party and that it was the best we've ever had because you were there. My friend Debbie with the poodle skirt who has always said Elvis was her dad because of her mom dating him back in the day just loved you too. Just loved that you let her sing with you and you even stopped to let my one year old grandbaby dance with you. Once again, thank you for making my moms birthday the best and most memorable. "
