Just got home from seeing and hearing The Shwing Daddies for the first time. I have had the pleasure and honor of working with Marty and Gary in the past so I knew what experience and talent they both brought to the party. I wasn't prepared, though, for the top shelf talent these four guys bring as a unit. I was flat floored. They don't just play music, they wear it. And they wear it very well. Imagine, they actually take the time to learn every detail of each song. And no stars, they make the music the star, as it should be. The Shwing Daddies. I'll be back. Do yourself a favor and go hear them. It will do your soul good. Thanks

"I already knew that Scott would do a great job when I hired him and his partner for music at our celebration. What I didn't know was that his music would end up being the HEART of the party! They played such great music that all I heard from my guests during the entire evening was 'Wow, those guys are great!' It was such a pleasure having Scott play music for my friends and family. Scott and his music partner were a completely self-sufficient, worry-free, wonderful addition to my party. I would recommend them to anyone!!"

I gotta tell ya Scott, bands I've seen playing other peoples tunes usually fall short of meeting the mark. You guys are very impressive, and you know we've been doing this a long time. All the vocals, the arrangements, the mastery of the tunes, and the synergy of making it live bigger than ever is real entertainment.

The Shwing Daddies are fabulous and were an enormous hit at our party! Their sound is superb! They were exactly what I envisioned and were true to their demo's on the website. Everyone loved them, we were able to sing and dance to the music of the 60's,70's & 80's. I not only recommend them to anyone, I will use them again and again. Scott and the guys were accomodating and even consented to an additional set after a very long, hot day. I am very serious, I think the Shwing Daddies are one of Portland's Great Find's and talent. Thank you guys so much for making my husband's 60th birthday unforgettable!

We had the Shwing Daddies for an Open House BBQ/yard party. They were fabulous! Great music, great professionalism, really nice guys. They mixed well with our guests and hopefully will generate a few more engagements from the experience. We would love to have them again. Our highest recommendation! --

They were great for our party! We wanted a band that would play fun music and that the guests would really enjoy and they turned out perfect for us. There prices were better than I had expected and I would definantly reccomend them to anybody looking for a band. --

Shwing Daddies,
You guys rocked the Tillicum last night. It is such a joy to watch you play. The music just flows out of your finger
tips. I just can't believe how great you all sound on vocals. You sound just as good as the real thing. Neil Young would
be proud. Don had a wonderful time and so did the rest of the gang. You could probably tell, we were all having a blast
dancing. We look forward to seeing you again. We'll be sure and invite new friends so we can pass the joy on to others.
Until then, rock on!!!!!!!!!!!

Scott,
I wanted to thank you and the band again for the great music at my party. The right music makes or breaks a party and I had a fabulous night. I think I danced to almost every song. My guests commented on how good the music was even
my 19 and 25 year old sons. When Steve turns 50 I will be giving you a call.
Thanks again for a night to remember.

Dear Scott,
Thank you so much for the great presentation on December 1, 2006 at the Woodmark Hotel! I heard people say that we had the best party ever and the best band ever.
I do appreciate that you worked within the guidelines required. It is important to the overall success of the event. In the past this party has ended around 10 pm, but this year the crowd did not want to stop and you guys just kept going. It really meant something that at 11 pm, when the crowd called for more, you were willing to go the extra mile.
I look forward to working with you in 2007.

Dear Scott,
Thank you so much for entertaining our group at the Sail For The Cure.
You guys were awesome! We received so many compliments on the music and the selection of songs. We really appreciated your bands ability to go with the flow with the auctions and everything else going on. And we also appreciated your volume.
With your help we were able to raise more than $20,000 dollars this year for the Susan G Komen Foundation. We look forward to having you next year if you are available. Thank you again.

Dear Shwing Daddies
I just wanted to let you know how much we loved having you guys play for our Jimmy Buffet Party last week. You are all so professional. I was really impressed. The Jimmy Buffet Theme party went so well that our club is thinking of making it a regular part of the Salem Horse Show. Thanks for helping us to pull it off.

Dear Scott:
Greg and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your band. You guys are great and everyone mentioned how much they each enjoyed the band. When the other band cancelled at the last minute I thought we were sunk, but when our friend saw you at Wanker's and said how good you were and that you were actually available it was unbelievable. You were all very professional and patient with going with the flow of a party. Greg's parents made it very clear that they could not have asked for a more perfect fiftieth wedding anniversary. They especially enjoyed the song you played for their dance (I think it was Sleepwalk). Thank you again and please feel free to use me as a referral
Sincerely,
