Thank you for a wonderful afternoon we had a beautiful stay and met a lot of great people and let's keep in touch
We had a very off-the wall event for a bourbon, barbeque, and cigar dinner train. Denise and the band were so accommodating and very interactive with the guests, they were self-sufficient and problem-solvers. Guests loved their music selection.
I recently hired Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations for an event in Greenfield Village at The Henry Ford Museum. Denise submitted all contractual documents quickly, responded to emails with haste, and arrived to the venue on the day of performance hours early, to ensure that she was in the right place and could relay any pertinent information to her bandmates. They provided their own amplification, mics and instruments for the event and were able to get set up in a timely fashion. The performance, itself, was varied and lively. Our audience of approx. 250 people sat entranced by the melodies from the ensemble for the duration of the set. In addition to their musical mastery, the performers were quite personable and interacted with the audience and staff members with ease, kindness and confidence. It was a joy to host them and I look forward to collaborating with them in the future.

Denise has a beautiful voice and the keyboardist was fabulous! Great music, our residents and families were highly satisfied!
R&B Vocalist
Ms. Davis and her amazing backing band, who are incredible instrumentalists in their own right, were a huge hit! They played a blend of Motown, classic R & B, and got the crowd singing along and grooving all night long. Ms. Davis is an incredibly versatile vocalist and has such amazing charisma that we were all enchanted and sorry to hear their final set. Definitely book them for an authentic Detroit music experience!

I hired this band to play an anniversary celebration for a professional organization during our annual conference. They did not disappoint! From booking to the last note played, they were on point. Our crowd was diverse in every sense of the word, and the music selection was spot on.
Talented, energetic, and more than able to engage the guests. I received compliments all night for the band selection. I highly recommend!

Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations were excellent. Denise's voice is remarkable and the band is unreal. As the Director of our organization, I was asked to not make the music too loud and they followed my requests. They were engaged and very welcoming to the attendees. The group was excellent five stars for their performance and talent!
The attendees stated "this was the best event ever'!!!

Great music, lovely group to work with and a very heartfelt tribute to veterans. Would definitely book again.
I absolutely loved working with Denise Davis & the band members! They are such amazing people who care about their clients. We had to cancel our event they were to perform at 2 days before the event due to the outbreak of Covid. Denise reached out to me and said that since it was paid for in advance that they would play when we rescheduled. She kept in contact with us throughout and we so enjoyed getting to know her. We finally rescheduled and truly enjoyed meeting her and the band finally. They were AMAZING! Not only was the music fabulous but Denise really engaged with the guests in attendance. My absolute favorite part was that she called all the Veterans to the floor and did a special song. BTW, Denise is a Veteran - thank you for your service! I highly recommend them for any event. They truly made our event a success!
Denise and the Motor City Sensations came to my husband's Prince themed Surprise 40th Birthday Party for a Prince set. The Band arrived ontime and set up professionally ontime, kept the crowd engaged up and dancing. Band was personabale and very friendly. Everyone enjoyed the show.
Denise was out of this world! Talk about a voice, and she got everybody up and dancing. I highly recommend THE Motor City Sensations

Denise Davis was a delight to talk to, watch perform and interact with the crowd. The band took me back to the soul music I remember. The audience loved the entire show. I'm so happy I choose this group for our annual Field Day and Southside Music festival.Awesome performance from the heart. Cynthia Field Day and Southside Music Festival chair.
We hired Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations for our NYE 2020/2021 event and we have had nothing but nonstop compliments! What a super fun group of extremely talented musicians and vocalists. They covered all of our favorite Motown dance tunes and some funky beats to boot! Ms Denise is an entertainer from the word go, she is a natural and such a sweet sweet lady. We would definitely invite them back again.

Response from Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations:
Whooo Hooo
Thanks
Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations were awesome. Everyone in attendance absolutely loved Denise and the rest of her team. Everyone (and I mean everyone) in the crowd was up on their feet dancing. I genuinely cannot wait to have them back for my next party! Denise knows how to make a party enjoy every moment at its fullest. Denise and her team were courteous as can be, a ton of fun to host, the life of the party, and a future staple of my private events. Between the performance, demeanor, and appearance, there was nothing more we could have wished for. Thanks again, and I look forward to next time! I would give 6 stars if it was an option. Best, Daniel.

Denise and her team were great! They made us spend a beautiful moment on the Detroit River (it was a cruise corporate event).
Denise came with her guitarist and the music they played was rousing!
These are generous people that brings a lot of energy during the events they are part of.
For corporate or personal events, I will definitely recommend them!

Thank you. Call us when you need
Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations were great to work with from communication prior to the event to their energetic performance! They were very interactive with our residents and community! I think a couple of the highlights of the event was the dedication Denise did for all of our Veterans (it was very humbling for everyone in attendance) and then when she had our guests come up with her and dance and one of the ladies sang a song with her. Everyone had a great time and I am still receiving feedback from out community, staff and residents! I would highly recommend them for any event and will definitely be checking to see if we can have them back next year!

Response from Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations:
Thanks you Tim and Lauren (call me) for the booking. We most certainly appreciated the warm love and hospitality that was given. You staff and supporters were outstanding. The band had a great time. We new just Motown wouldn't work because people ALWAYS see us and want to dance. So we had to bring it. In our opinion" flip the script" Tina always get it, Aretha always bring it, and most of all Prince pops it!!! Everyone had a great time and we hope to see you next year.
This was the best. I am so pleased with the performance of this group. We were provided with an array of Motown songs. Denise and the band added just enough interaction with the group to take everyone's night over the top. They arrived early, they were setup on time and ready to get started just as agreed. If you are looking for "simply the best" then look no further.
