Yesterdays News was fantastic. We had a neighborhood barbecue in our backyard and the band made it perfect. They let us pick out our Playlist and they delivered. I would recommend this band for a party. 5/5 stars
They did a great job and the crowd loved them! Looking forward to having them over again.
Response from Yesterdays News:
Thank you for the great review. It was a pleasure performing for you and your guests. Looking forward to possible future performance for you guys.
As the party planner, I value someone who is easy to work with, flexible, but most of all, can read the crowd. Art and Frank (Yesterday's News) really did that! They kept my party well paced and the guests constantly entertained. I really appreciated the personal touches added about the honored guests. Well done, gentlemen.
