Reenie & the Goodfellas is a diverse group of professional musicians who will customize their show for your event. This female-fronted rhythm & blues cover band plays everything from Stevie Wonder to Amy Winehouse to John Mayer Blues Trio, to Nina Simone. Available as a 4, 5, or 6-piece ensemble (drums, bass, keys guitar/vocals, sax & trombone!).
Reenie & the Goodfellas created a lively, feel-good vibe at my recent 50th Birthday Party.
The group has a youthful and energetic presence, and all instruments blended nicely. Reenie's voice was beautiful and tender.
The music was so upbeat and fun, that people couldn't help but get up and dance! They also played original, soulful songs that moved us. Several people commented to me that having live music really made the party!
I would definitely recommend and hire Reenie & the Goodfellas for events in the future.
