Thank you ALL for learning our first dance tune - it was really extra special to hear you perform it, and now we have such a unique moment to treasure for many years to come. What a gift. You are wonderfully energetic and talented musicians - just so fabulous. What a fun repertoire!! We look forward to catching up with you at a future performance and get some more dancing in. We loved every moment, Laura & Colin"

"Juke Joint played our wedding reception the summer of 2014. They were easy to work with and eager to do everything they could to make it a great event. We had a Jewish wedding and it was quite important to us for the guests to be able to dance the hora. Juke Joint learned to play a hora and personalized it in their own jazzy way.

We wanted a wedding that was not super traditional but still well-executed and Juke Joint did a great job of keeping the flow of the event casual but still structured. The reception flowed seamlessly and the music was the perfect compliment to the beautiful summer day."

Saw you guys rock the house at IKEA over the weekend. Loved seeing the crowd swaying and dancing as best they could. Loved hearing some of my favorite tunes, played so very well. You've got Dunn and Cropper in your genes!

Thanks for the good time while standing in the returns line..... hope to catch your gig again soon!"
