Horseshoe Casino:
“This band performed with Parliament Funkadelic and the Ohio Players with a sellout audience at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN. Although they were not the headliner SLAVE was definitely the favorite of the three.”

Jerry performed for us at my moms 75th birthday party and did not disappoint. We are so glad that we hired him. My Mom and all the guests had a great time. My text messages and Facebook have been blowing up with compliments stating how much fun they had and how great the music was.
Love the music, love the clothes, love the impersonations, love his personality.
If we ever need an entertainer again, Jerry is our man. Thank you. I took more videos instead of pictures.

Wow! Nick made our party. He took my parents right back to 40 years ago, playing their classic wedding jams. This anniversary was a big one and we definitely picked the perfect musician. He nailed our set list, took requests, and was so sincere about wanting everyone to be jamming out having a great time. Seriously impressive voice and skills...not to mention he braved the late night cold weather since our party was outdoors. Would recommend and hire again! Thanks Nick!!

Lydia Cash Duo made our wedding celebration an absolute delight. My guests were greeted with their soft jazz set at the beginning of the reception and they also sang a custom song for our first dance together as a married couple. Their level of professionalism and ease to work with was unparalleled. I am incredibly thankful that they made our night so special and guests were thrilled with the ambiance they imbued into the space. Highly recommend them for any classy occasion!
