They play all kinds - Memphis, Chicago and their version of the "Down and Dirty Blues" is exceptional. Whether you want to tap your feet, slap your thigh or dance to the beat, they make you come away satisfied with what you've heard.
Response from Breeze Kings:
Thank you Robert. It was our honor to be a part of your day. All our best to you and Kathy.
We booked the Breeze Kings for a large gathering at SweetWater brewery on the night before my wedding, and they were amazing. They have a lot of energy, and the sound is fantastic. I think that they won themselves more than a few fans that night.
Working with Carlos (the lead singer) was very enjoyable and easy. My wife and I don't live in Atlanta, so we were arranging this from out of town. Carlos was very responsive to what we wanted in terms of the evening, and he helped to arrange his own logistics with the venue.
We couldn't be happier!
Response from Breeze Kings:
Thank you Steve. It was a great pre-wedding party and our honor to be a part of it. All our best to you and Kate.
Band and Carlos were easy to work with, and gave out a great sound. I'd hire them again for our events.
Response from Breeze Kings:
Thanks Al. It was a really cool event, a nice location and a great group of folks. Thanks for letting us be a part of the fun.
