Good communication with the group early on to ensure all details were ironed out for the event, song selections, etc. Band members were professional, friendly, and arrived on time. The band put on a great show and sounded amazing with all of the songs they played. They certainly added to our special event and received a lot of great feedback from our guests. I would highly recommend to anyone considering hiring a live band. Review by Kate S.

Private Party•Reviewed on August 28, 2021•From Westerly, RI Excellent group of gentleman!! Great feedback from our seasonal people. Arrived in plenty of time to set up and warm up before show!! Highly recommend this group Review by Joe Z. Private Party•Reviewed on September 4, 2021•From Danbury, CT We had a great experience with Raging Gracefully. They showed up well in advance of the contracted starting time to ensure they were all set up and ready to go. They are a talented group of musicians and played a great set of music, and even learned a couple of songs that I had requested in advance of the gig. I appreciated that they were more than accommodating with our desire to "get involved" and serve as backup singers on some songs (who wouldn't want to sing along with Sweet Caroline?). Finally, they are all a great bunch of guys. Instead of hiding out during breaks they were right out there mingling with our guests. I would definitely recommend them. Review by Naomi P. Private Party•Reviewed on August 29, 2021•From Litchfield, CT Raging Gracefully is a great party band. All of my guests, dancing and singing along with the band, enjoyed their music immensely. The group has a varied repertoire, were real gentleman and very professional. In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with hiring Raging Gracefully! Review by Jeff S.
