El Grupo Chevere did a wonderful job engaging students to celebrate Latine Heritage on our campus. The ensemble and performers were amazing with quality sound and stage presence. We loved the music and look forward to inviting El Grupo again!
We hired El Grupo Chevere for my husband’s 50th birthday party. We had a mix of ages from kids to older adults and from all over. The band had everyone up and dancing from start to finish. I never imagined how many people would be dancing the entire event. They played an amazing mix of songs that appealed to everyone. Even more special, they learned a song that my husband asked for as a special request in advance of the event. They even took a few requests during the event. They absolutely made the day and I would hire them again in a heart beat.

Thank you Jeffrey, always love to collaborate with you on all your events..
Looking forward to continuing to bring Grupo Chevere's music to the community.
I had the honor and pleasure of Willie C and El Grupo Chevere for several Brighton Main Streets' outdoor concerts. They were magnificent, with a full band that had the park swinging for the whole show. True professionals, these wonderful musicians are a fan favorite who perform regularly at Peka. I look forward to bringing them back on stage in the future.

Grupo Chevere not only provided fantastic live music for our 30th anniversary gala, but they also went above and beyond to ensure the event was a huge success. In addition to their amazing performance, they also provided a DJ, sound engineer, and lighting for the night. Their full-service approach made it so easy for us to coordinate everything we needed for the event, and the seamless transitions between live music and DJ sets kept the party going all night long.
They truly made our 30th anniversary gala unforgettable. We highly recommend them for any event where you want to have a great time with exceptional live music, DJ services, and lighting!

Grupo Chevere was referred to me by a friend and I am so glad I hired them.
Band was on time, dressed very nice and professional. They played all popular cover songs. As soon as they started playing, the dance floor was full. The entire night all the family were talking and excited about the band. Thank you Willie for helping thru the process.
I hope to hire the again on my next event.

I’ve contracted Grupo Chevere several times, Will is fantastic he setup early and got everything ready prior to the entire band arriving. Live music was phenomenal, they had a full repertoire of their own music, and knew all the music being requested by the guest. Even allowed some of the guest to sing along with then during the performance. Truly a great show, I will continue to use the group always.
