Response from The Dilemma:
Thank you we had a great time.
The band arrived in great time and were very communicative before hand. They set up and did a great show for our campers. The campers were aged between 7 and 17 and all of them loved the experience. The guys were really friendly and interacted with the campers who wanted to speak to them after. Highly recommended and we will be looking to make it an annual thing at camp.

We had the Dilemma perform at our end-of-year celebration for about 800 people for the second year in a row and as before, they were a hit! We had them perform 90s music last year and 70s music this year. They created the perfect soundscape for our event. Can't wait to have them back again!

I loved the band and all my guests did too! Good job! Everyone was friendly and the music selection was great!
I thought the event was from 4-8pm as agreed from our messages. I don’t think the dilemma started playing until 4:45 and then started packing up at 7:30. :( I was definitely bummed about that because my invitations read 4-8pm. I am not mad I just expected the dilemma to stay until over 8pm since start time was not 4pm. The Time efforts are super important to me! But I will express that detail next time when I book a band again at my house! Thanks again!

Response from The Dilemma:
We arrived at 330pm which was the earliest time the client gave us to arrive for the surprise party. We were ready to play by 4pm but the guest of honor didn't show up till 440pm. We waited to start until then because they had a specific song we were to start the show with when he arrived. We really enjoyed the party and when asked we played an additional half hour encore till 8pm even though we had been their beyond the contracted 3 hours .We were given a $120 tip and thanked for playing the encore as well as numerous requests for us to play future parties in the area.
Photos from this event
The CRB provided excellent entertainment for our Carnival, working with us to keep them a surprise and then playing non-stop classic rock with some heavy rock, a little rap, and even a short acoustic set for close to three hours. They are young, vibrant, and VERY talented, and can pull off classic and contemporary rock songs like seasoned pros. The CRB had people age 5 to 65 dancing and singing along, thoroughly enjoying their covers as well as their originals. I highly recommend The CRB for your event - especially if it involves folks of mixed ages. These guys were a HUGE hit!
