Classic Rock Band
Response from Chicago Rock Exchange:
Thank you so much Jennifer!
Chicago Rock Exchange performed at our non-profit fundraiser and were beyond amazing! Not only are they a phenomenal band, they are phenomenal people. They were genuinely interested in our non-profit organization supporting teen mental health and we are so grateful for their support. They made the night so much fun and everyone loved them! We look forward to having them perform at our next fundraiser. Highly recommend!
Classic Rock Band
Response from Chicago Rock Exchange:
Thank you so much Wendy! And Bravo on the incredible work you do for the community!
What a band -- non-stop great music, wonderful attitude and incredible energy! I hired Ray's band for a huge outdoor party, perched them and their equipment on a balcony -- and left the rest to them. They made all the difference in this celebration. Their choice of music, their responsiveness to the crowed, just the "sound" -- they had everyone dancing all over the lawn, not just the dance floor.
I used to think a terrific party was about the food -- and that's important. But Ray's music really MADE this a special event to remember. I will book him first before setting the date of my next party.

Response from Chicago Rock Exchange:
You are the best Terry! Thank you so much for this review and for having us play for you. We would love to do it again. Ray and Chicago Rock Exchange.
I have seen Chicago Rock Exchange perform on multiple occasions, for large and for intimate crowds, and they are amazing every time! Super talented musicians with the best energy and songs. Would love to see them rock again soon!
