Jimmy has some unbelievable talent. We hire bands 3 to 4 times a year and go to several concerts and he has to be the best musician that I have ever heard. His style of music is intoxicating and perfect for any crowd of people provides for an excellent vibe and definitely gets people on the floor that wouldn’t normally dance.
All the band members were very talented as well, and everybody was very pleasant and easy to deal with. They came equipped with a pianist, a drummer, a base player, and of course, Jimmy on the guitar and vocals.
Their style is not just raw blues but for me it had somewhat of a 1950’s vibe at times.
We plan to have them back yearly.
From someone with experience booking bands, they are Top Notch. And I am confident anybody that books them will be extremely pleased..

Media Quotes:
“Guaranteed Excitement for fans of straight-ahead blues guitar.” Blues Revue Magazine
“Adler romps, jumps and wails… with infectious dynamism. His playing slides and swings… and you might hear suggestions of Joe Cocker or Dr. John when Adler vocally lets loose. The band clearly knows how to boogie and swing.” Gordon Spencer, Pittsburgh Magazine
“Adler showcases his singing, songwriting and guitar skills through a variety of styles. His playing is ferocious, yet he makes it sound so smooth and easy. Not to mention very good.” Jim White, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“They’re one of my favorite bands. I could dance to them all night!” Bobby D., owner and dance instructor @ Swing City
“Jimmy’s style of blues is reminiscent of grandma’s pot roast… this is one damn good meal that will leave everyone satisfied… Adler does have a strong raspy voice and the band are clearly good players that any lover of the blues would appreciate.” George Raker, The Front Magazine
“Adler’s songs are superbly built and finely worked, which makes it possible to confirm the mastery of a guitarist who is concise and inspired, but also to discover Jimmy’s frightening slide guitar effectiveness.” Blues & Co. Magazine, France
