Fabulous band! Made our wedding vow renewal a magical night!


Dropping a quick note to tell you thank you for going the extra mile (or 10) to make our daughter's reception party fantastic. Even though you were thrown some curveballs from the venue by them not having the power plug ins ready and setting tables on the stage, your band blazed past the obstacles and entertained our family and friends throughout the evening. It felt like we had our own private concert and really appreciated how personal you all were. One of our family's highlights were when you got great Grandpa and Grandma "Fred and Harriet" to do a special dance right in front of the stage. Literally brought tears to a lot of our eyes seeing how special you made them feel! It's been a couple weeks ago already but everyone is still talking about the night! THANK YOU for such a memorable evening!


S&S was great at our annual Race Team Prom event! The band rocked, and even the load-in and -out went smoothly, and everyone had a blast. Thanks so much!!


You just performed at our daughter's wedding reception and our family couldn't be happier! Shirts and Skins passed all our expectations on stage and off. You were all very professional and very personable to everyone as well. Appreciated you went out of your way to create a "Grandparents dance" and your singer came out to "help" them to the dance floor. Everyone loved your music and had a ball dancing!


We are so excited to have you back at out town's festival again this upcoming July. People are still talking about when you were here a few months ago. ..Just excited OK!? LOL!


Wanted to thank you for such a wonderful performance at our Daughter's wedding reception. Not only was your band outstanding and fun to dance/listen to, but when you took the time in the middle of your performance to involve the young children that came up to you in front of the stage, that impressed us all! When our youngest daughter gets married [ hopefully not too soon :) ], we for sure will be calling you!


They were great! The band was fantastic and made our Snowball Formal/Stout release brewery party a success!


Thanks to the band, you were terrific and enjoyed by everyone. They really went above and beyond assisting the bride and groom to make their day spectacular. It was a blast! My company was in charge of the the wedding planning for the bride and groom and you will be our first contact for any future clients that want an awesome band/entertainment for their special day!


Our Costco Corporate event was a huge success thanks in no small part to the band! Everyone thought they were very talented and high-energy. Usually most people at the party leave as soon as the prizes are awarded, but to our pleasant surprise, a lot of people stayed longer to dance and listen to the band! We were very happy with them, thank you!


What a fabulous Oktoberfest! The place was on fire!!! You band was unbelievable and your awesome Oktoberfest costumes really were over the top and people LOVED THEM/YOUR band! We've never had so much response and attendance! With all the comments that are still coming in on social media and word of mouth, hopefully, we get to see you again in 2024!


I just spoke to you on the phone but wanted to leave our thoughts for your reviews page so others can hear feedback from people that have had you at their event(s). To be honest, reading some of the comments especially the ones from similar events like ours, is what convinced us to book you for our summer concert series. Our committee unanimously agrees that it was a huge success. In all the time we've had the summer concert series going, we've never had such an overwhelming number of people reach out to us with compliments and several asking if we had booking info for you to include a local business message us that wants you for their company Christmas party, an engaged couple about their wedding reception dance, a neighboring town's street dance and even our own county fair! Of course we gave them your booking contact loren@acts-tremetalent.com (715)235-4168 (put that in here to make it easy for people to see :) . Speaking of which, the booking process was extremely smooth as well. Overall we are very happy with your performance and loved how personable you all were and how very easy you were to work with! Very accommodating as well when we asked you to announce the 50/50 raffle. Very happy that one of our team saw your band performing at Karl Oskar Days festival last year and literally made us look at your promotional video! See you next year!!!


Omg… best night ever. People kept pulling me aside all night telling me how amazing the band was! And some are STILL calling and texting me saying how incredible the music was!!! I even had people say they want to hire you for their next event(s)!! You guys truly made the night - thank you so so so much! The band was incredible and the DJ was amazing. 10/10! ..Molly (bride)
Yes!! The band was AMAZING and so was the DJ service! Just like Molly said a 10/10. Thanks so much! ..Suzanne (Mother of bride)


Hello. I just wanted to thank you for your show performance at our fair AGAIN this year. Last year when you were here is was outstanding which is why we had you back for this year. All we can say is this year was EPIC! The whole reason I joined the fair board was to get good music because although we had "music", having you at our fair has made everyone realize it was nowhere in the same ballpark as what Shirts and Skins has brought to our fair. At our last meeting the board member that had been dragging his feet wanting to keep getting mediocre quality bands actually said "We struck GOLD with S&S". And to put punctuation at the end of him saying that the whole board applauded! Thank you for making my insistence to the board for getting your band last year validated to where it was a unanimous vote to have you again this year. Kinda vindication of all the cat herding I had to initially do :) See you next year!!!!


The entire event was incredible, Shirts and Skins did not disappoint and were wonderful! Their professionalism was unmatched and the performers were such a delight to work with. Thank you so much for helping with this event. I’m hoping with both your agency and Shirts and Skins listed on our website we will get more business headed your way because you are both incredible and an ease to work with.


It was perfect! We had an amazing time and our guests loved the band! The band leader was a great problem solver with the little bit of rain we got and kept us in the loop with everything. The ceremony music went very smoothly as well. We can’t thank them enough. We definitely recommend shirts and skins to anyone who wants a live band for any event!


Saw you at Grand Casino Hinckley. By far the best band that has been there in ages! My fiancé and I are getting married next June and would like to secure you for our reception. It will be held in Stillwater. Our family and friends are all music lovers and are going to lose their minds!! Already talked with your agency and are getting it all lined up! CAN'T WAIT! ..Bill & Nancy Porter


Hello James (band) & Loren (agency). Thank you for your very entertaining show for our company's employee appreciation concert/party. Everyone loved the band and we couldn't believe how many people you had dancing. Even the owner and his wife danced several times and that's never happened. We thought it was such a touch of class when one of your female singers came off the stage while she was singing and sang directly to the little boy in the wheel chair (an employee's child) that was watching the band intently. That poor little guy has been through so much and that really made it special for him and his parents! And also, thank you also for announcing our awards. And thank you to Loren @ ACTS-TREME TALENTS for making the booking and scheduling process so stress free and easy! Over all it was Too much fun!


Wanted to give you our deepest thank you. You drew the most people we've every had which in turn generated the most money for our kid's Hockey fundraiser we've ever had and that's saying a lot because we've done this for 11 years running! All of you were so professional yet very down to earth and friendly! Thank You!


Just wanted to let you know that you made our Fire Dept fundraiser Street Dance a huge success. To be honest, we were nervous because we've never hired a bigger band like you before and was actually hoping to at least break even. Well... we broke even and made more for our Dept then the last 3 years combined!! Thank you so much because we were needing a lot of things to modernize our equipment! We will be calling you for next year as soon as we get a date set in stone.


Wow did you raise the bar for bands at Rockin' On The Rum! We loved you guys!


Hello! We saw you at the Kanabec Fair and we LOVED your band! We are having our family reunion the same weekend the fair usually is next year and have family coming in from around the country and even from overseas and we hope your band will be there that Saturday. Please let us know ASAP and we'll plan accordingly. WE HOPE YOU ARE because that would be epic! ...Your new Fans Fred and Marci Glencamp and family (we were the crazy ones dancing our shoes off by the stage.. LOL!)


We had an absolute blast and the band was amazing!! Everyone hasn’t stopped talking about the band! We definitely want them back again!


It was a great event! We were amazed at the amount of compliments our Summer Party festival committee received on the band personally and on our social media sites! We had an overwhelming amount of people asking if we were going to have you back and would love to do this event again with you next year! Will contact you after our meeting with details!


Thanks for coming to our small little town's festival. Our population easily tripled when you were here. Everyone had a blast! Also wanted to mention that the staff all appreciated how easy you were to work with onsite and how ActsTreme agency made booking you a breeze! Thanks again and we will be talking soon!


S&S Rocked our fair! The only "complaint" we had were that they were so good they drew the people from all the other things happening at the fair. In reality it obviously wasn't a complaint but actually a first for us and all of us were elated about it! Everyone had so much fun and we had a ton of comments how good the band was. Our committee is meeting in a couple weeks to close out 2023 and will be starting 2024 plans and Shirts and Skins WILL be part of our 2024 fair for sure! Thanks for a fun memorable performance and we are all looking forward to next time!


Everything went so great. So many compliments from our guests and locals about the music. The band was great! Very flexible with the food and drink stuff and they sounded great! Even the locals up on top of the hill in New Ulm could hear clearly and I got messages about how they were enjoying themselves outside listening to the music. They say we should do this more often and we all agree! If you could save a Friday or Saturday in July 2024, and we will make something work!


I attended the concert in New Ulm last Friday. I am 58 years old and never attend concerts. But I was very impressed right away. The two lead singers worked well together and had great voices. All band members looked like they were having fun. And they only paused 3-5 seconds before starting the next song if even pausing at all. They were very professional. Even though I didn't know all the songs, we had fun! I turned to my wife and said, "I would pay to see this band again." Having said that, we're coming to see you in Owatonna Aug 18!


You guys were epic at Rockin' On The Rum!!


Thank you for an excellent show. Our Fire Dept crew really enjoyed how you involved us before your show with taking pictures etc and then mentioning us throughout your performance. No one has ever took the time to be that personable and was really nice. We've had a lot of comments asking where we found you and as we joked with you the night of the show... "It's and ancient Chinese Secret!" LOL! Thanks for everything and be expecting a call from Jerome (one of our firemen) for you to play at his wedding reception! See you next year!


Thank you so much for performing at our Summer Stage Series. We've had so many compliments on Shirts and Skins band! Our staff including myself thought your show was more like a concert versus a normal band. So professional and entertaining, we loved it! We are excited to have you back next year!


You made quite the impression with our Riverfest clientele! Everyone loved the band and are already asking for you back next year. Expect a phone call!


Hey! I don’t even have the words for how awesome they were! Our boss who is a die hard classic rock AC/DC guy was blown away. Absolutely loved them, put them 2nd behind the Fabulous Armadillos of bands he’s had at our corporate events. He’s got a pretty open mind but knows what he likes and he loved the band. I’ve never heard him be so enthusiastic before and I’ve been on the planning team for about 7 company events. We also don’t bullshit with feedback. The first song out the gate got people dancing and it usually takes 30 minutes at least to get folks dancing. And the dance floor never really emptied. So engaging. So talented! So energetic! Totally pulled the crowd in. You guys are definitely on our call back list for future events. Oh yeah - and you guys were all so easy to work with and coordinate the event. You made it no work at all to book the band. Thank you for the amazing freaking evening. Loved! Loved! Loved!!!!!!!


Everything was great! The band was wonderful and the crowd loved it. Load in and load out went quickly without issue and they had all the "runners" dancing from the first song on. We loved having them!


The band was awesome and the private party was a success! We were nervous because we've never hired a live band before but Loren at ACT-TREME TALENT and James from the band made everything so seamless and awesome and the icing on the cake was being on the dance floor with our family and friends just about every song! Our feet are all sore LOL! We will be having another party in 2 years and you WILL be our band!


The band was incredible and the night went so smooth. Thank you for making our wedding reception such a fun time!


Everything went great! The band was awesome. It was so much fun and we are so happy we went with Shirts and Skins for our wedding reception!


Shirts and Skins were absolutely fabulous for our High School Senior Lock In! The kids loved them and the chaperone parents that were there did too! I would highly suggest hiring this group for events like this and anything that wants to have fun for that matter. Thank You!


Everything was so great! We can’t wait to have the band back for another party hopefully soon!!!


Our annual corporate conference went really well. They had the dance floor packed and we had people taking pictures of the sign so that they knew who the band was. They were so easy to work with! I couldn’t ask for anything more!!


Thank you for making our first (first BIG one) company party a huge success! We had all our employees and also corporate and all branch managers and a lot of employees from our different locations in attendance and everyone had an excellent time. Everyone has been asking us where we found you at (thank you Acts-Treme Talent). We for sure will be having you next year and will let you know as soon as we determine the date and which location we will be having it at!


Shirts and Skins were a HIT! Absolutely amazing and the crowd was RAVING!! Thank you..Rockin' On The Rum team!


Best band we've had at our summer event concert series. We've literally been overwhelmed with emails and social media messages praising the band's performance. Your band for SURE will be on our 2024 summer event concert series line up except this time we will obviously be putting you in the best spot next time so even more people can see you! Thank You for an awesome show and being so accommodating to the staff and when there was a threat of bad weather too! I lot of bands would've just bailed on us but thank heavens you waited it out and then rocked everyone! Be expecting a call in Sept after our 2023 wrap up for next year!


Thank you everything! Our Fireman's street dance went great and what a amazing band again! At next meeting we will be discussing next year and you will be our FIRST call!


Saturday night was fantastic! Shirts & Skins were in the top 3 of all the bands we have hired over the 30 years of Buggies & Blues. I had a lot of people who attended ask me where we found the band .. We did good and so did Acts-Treme Talent and the band. We hope they enjoyed their short stay in Mandan, as much as we enjoyed having them.
Thank Acts-Treme Talent and a special thanks to the Shirts & Skins band and James Gross. The 2-gal singers voices were unbelievable, so strong, WOW!


Everything was so great and everyone had a BLAST! We can’t wait to have the band back for another party hopefully soon!!!


It went really well! They had the dance floor packed and we had people taking pictures of the sign so that they knew who the band was. They were so easy to work with! Their show made our company Annual Conference a hit! It was awesome how they could break it down into an acoustic style show for our second night for us! We've had entertainment for our Annual Conference for years and this was the first a band could do this and also the most packed the dance floor has EVER been!! Both the full band and acoustic version the second night were stellar. We couldn’t ask for anything more!!


 

Just wanted to let you know how we are looking forward to having you back at our Golf and Country Club for our Invitational tournament! All of our members loved you last year and everyone is looking forward to your return. As you did last year please include us in your social media events because we actually gained new clients from that! So excited!


 

Hi James/Shirts & Skins band! Just partied with you guys last night at Hon-Dah Casino, Pinetop AZ. The band sounded awesome as always. Laura and I will be out again this weekend and bringing friends from town and have some coming from Phoenix too! We love your versatility and energy and how easy it is to dance to your music. I know it's a looooooooong drive from Minnesota for you but would you consider coming back here more that 2-3 times a year? We've talked to people that work here and they agree (How couldn't they LOL!). Our waitress last night said she always makes record tips when your band is there. C U this weekend! ♥ Paul & Laura


 

Hello! We saw you again at Shooting Star Casino this past weekend and have to say Shirts and Skins is the best band that we've seen there. That's saying a lot because we are huge live music lovers and a group of us does there every weekend so we see all the bands that perform there. We have a group of about 12-25 people depending on who all can make it and we all wholeheartedly agree! Now we aren't saying the other bands are bad by any means, we are just complimenting you and saying your band is our favorite! Looking forward to when you're back in June. We have friends visiting from California that weekend. They actually were coming the week before but talked them into coming the week you're at Shooting Star because our group is planning a big party that weekend! SEE YOU THEN! ...Frankie, Joel, Marriette, Billy and gang!


 

Thank you ACTS-TREME TALENT so much for coordinating everything we so appreciate you Loren! We are very excited about the band! They came very highly recommended from a nurse at work who was at a wedding they performed at. She said and I quote, “It was the best wedding I have ever gone to”. And WOW you guys are so thorough. Some of the stuff you talked with me about I hadn’t even considered so THANK YOU for helping me be more organized as well.! SO EXCITED!


 

Everything went amazing, everyone loved the band! We will booking you again for 2023 as soon as we have a date set for our next company Christmas Party! Great Band and equally awesome people!


 

I just want to see if you are able to please pass a message on to the band members who were in LeMars on Saturday the 3rd. Please tell them THANK YOU !!! They were amazing and so much fun ! My husband Paul threw a surprise party for my 60th and they made the night so much fun. Everyone loved the music! Forever a fan !!

Hello James and musicians! Our group Just saw you at the Shooting Star Casino. We a regulars there and have seen pretty much all the bands that have performed there. Shirts and Skins is by far the best band we've seen there! We actually plan our get-togethers around when you are going to be there. Sometimes it's not frequent enough which is why we traveled to see you at the casino in Red Wing, MN Treasure Island. It was fun seeing the band in a different setting and obviously the people there liked you as much as we do because the dance floor was full the whole night. It was really nice that James took the time out of his breaks between performance sets to talk with us, what a nice young man! We are so excited to be having you at our annual fundraising dance next summer! We'll see you at Shooting Star in January though!! Thanks for all the fun!

Everything was wonderful for our fundraising Gala. The band was great, had everything set up on time, they sounded great, and were all very professional and fun! We loved that they jazzed up their outfits to fit the theme of our event, what an awesome added touch! They were so good I plan to have them back again in the future. We had a great turnout for the event, more than we’d hoped and they certainly kept everyone on the dance floor!


 

My HUSBAND and I spent the last few weeks honeymooning in Portugal and kept telling each other throughout how fun the dance was! Everything was fantastic and went absolutely perfectly. We loved having the live band and Shirts and Skins more than performed! We loved them and will most definitely be recommending them to everyone we can :) Such a fun night, and the band was a big part of that. The DJ was super accommodating, played all our requests and was super easy to work with and super happy we went with the package that included the DJ! We truly had a great night, thank you for everything!


 

Sorry for the late response but have been tying up loose ends of our 2022 Fair. Please express our thanks to Shirts and Skins for being so accommodating, not to mention their overall fun performance! When the electricity went out, people started leaving in droves but within 10 minutes the band had 3 band members singing and playing acoustic guitars with a battery light facing them. Literally everyone turned around and came back to such a unique show. Then after about 30 minutes the electricity power came back on and the band instantly went into "concert mode" and the beer garden turned into PARTY CENTRAL! This for sure will be a performance to remember! Thank you again for keeping everyone around with your quick thinking and willingness to make the show go on!


 

Thank you for everything! You really made our Fireman's Fundraiser street dance a HUGE success. We for sure will be having you again in the future. A bunch of us will also be randomly showing up at some of your future shows so BE PREPARED!  


 

Just a quick note to let you know how well received Shirts and Skins were at our annual Town Summer Party! The Ultimate VIP Package was fabulous and was the biggest thing our small town has had the pleasure of entertaining! We've had so many positive comments and people asking where we "found" you. We've actually referred you to several people from a wedding to a fair and a Fireman's fundraiser already. We've never had that many people dancing at our Summer Party before, especially right from the beginning like you had them! Thank you for the fun performance!


 

Thank you for the great show at our fair! Everyone really enjoyed your Ultimate VIP Package with the brass! That's not something you hear a lot, especially with a band with as updated songlist as yours. We would recommend Shirts and Skins to anyone and everyone! We don't usually do this but SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!


 

We absolutely loved you at our town festival Karl Oskar Days! The Ultimate VIP Package with the horn musicians really was spectacular and we're so glad we went with that package! One of our committee members will be contacting you for their company's party. thanks for an awesome show, everyone loved your band!


 

The band was AMAZING!!! Our dance floor was packed the whole night! So much fun! Many of our guests said you were the best band they've ever seen at a wedding reception and we have to agree! THANK YOU!


 

Our Classic Auto group just saw you at Oktoberfest in New Ulm. We've been going to Oktoberfest for years and we were all blown away by your band. BEST band we've ever seen there hands down! We've already contacted your talent agency to book you for our street run next August! We for sure will be making a few "road trips" to see you between now and then I promise you! Oh and also one of our members (Nancy) will be contacting you for her daughter's wedding next Sept too. They just absolutely loved you as did we! We for sure will all be coming up to The Commander in Breezy Point to your Halloween party Oct 29! C U THERE!!


 

Everything was perfect and the band was AMAZING! made our day even more special, thank you for everything!


 

Everything was so perfect! We had a blast and couldn't ask for a better night. Nothing but positive feedback from us and all our wedding guests!


 

Everything was incredible. The band was amazing! Tons of compliments. Made our reception a "talk of the town"!


 

It went really well! The band was awesome!! The DJ was great and SUPER glad we went with that package! We had so many compliments after our reception and yet this next week. I would highly recommend Shirts and Skins!


 

Everything went great! The dance floor was full all night and everything was in order! Made our reception exceptional. Fabulous band!


 

Thanks for everything! Everything went great! The band did an amazing job of entertaining the guests and feeding off of their energy. They kept the party going all night long! I would be remiss not to mention that those responsible behind the scenes also did a great job with easy yet thorough booking process and the actual set up and take down- everything went smoothly/seamless! We couldn’t be happier.
Please pass along a thank you to all those involved!
Thanks again, Linda


 

Thank you so much for performing at our company party. We originally heard about Shirts and Skins from one of our new employees that came from 3M and said that you had performed at their company party last year and he said it was awesome and told how the band had everyone dancing from the first song on. Well.. After just having you at our party, I can say he was spot on! It's the most people that we have ever had dancing and that's saying a lot because we've had bands for the past 15 years! Even our founder/company owner and his wife danced (Morris and Ellyn) FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! Thank you for playing the song we requested for them because that did it! It's been 2 weeks now and people are still talking about how much fun our party was this year. Thank you again for a great time and fun memories! Oh and we have a picture of Morris and Ellyn dancing proudly displayed in the main office now :)


 

Hello! We were the family that came up to on your break for the fireworks. We wanted to send you a not thanking you for a fun family tradition that helped bring our family back together in Keewatin, MN for 8 years now! Our kids have long sense flown the nest but this AWESOME tradition brings them back with their families from Colorado, Iowa and California as a fun family get-together with Shirts and Skins band! You are all very personable and TALENTED! Thank you for all the years of memories and good times at the Keewatin Street Dance! Loved your show there this year (July 2, 2022) again and we all can't wait to get back together and do it again next year!  .....Your friends The Hemingway "Clan"


 

Everything was awesome as always, Other than the insane wind that day!! Glad they didn’t blow off the stage ha! Hope they enjoyed their time as well! We've thoroughly enjoyed having them for the past 4 YEARS, next year will be 5 :) and so have our OKTOBERFEST Goers as well! Tons of compliments on the band at the show, after the show and on social media and beyond!


 

Everything was fantastic! They are so fun and so talented! Our friends and family raved about the band all night (some still are) ! They really made our reception something special. Would recommend them to anyone for their wedding dance or anyone that wants a super fun and talented band!


 

They were so amazing!!! Everyone LOVED them and they truly made our reception dance spectacular!!!!!! They really made the night SO MUCH FUN!!! Please pass along our compliments!!!


 

The band was Great, thanks! We had a ton of people on the dance floor through to the very last song and I heard a lot of people say how great S&S was!


 

Band was loved by all our guests! We all had a great time!


 

Everything was fantastic. The guests loved the band and the energy they brought at our reception! Highlights for us were the vocals on I Will Survive and the absolutely incredible guitar solo on Sweet Child O' Mine. It was definitely an unforgettable night and we're so glad we got the band to be a part of it!!


 

Over the T O P! Shirts and Skins was a huge hit at our street dance/fundraiser! We raised more money with you than we have the past 3 year combined! Thank you so much!


 

We just saw you at the Diamond jo's Casino in Northwood Iowa at the end of July. Our group thought you were leaps and bounds better than any band we've ever seen there (and we are regulars and are there a lot)! You literally got us and others dancing from your first song. Too much fun! Thanks for the fun weekend.   .....Now here is the funny part! We were just at a wedding in Maplewood, MN Sept 3 and we couldn't believe it was your band there! Totally crazy at how that worked out! I can tell you this, all the people we talked with there including the Bride and Groom LOVED you! Anywho.. Just wanted to let you know we really like your band and hope to see you again soon!


 

Just a quick email before we leave on our honeymoon.. We absolutely LOVED the band. It was so amazing how your female and male singer (Katie and James) made the little boy's night by coming out to the dance floor and making him feel like a king. As you know he has had a rough go of it health-wise and what you did really boosted his spirits and his parents as well! On top of going the extra mile with making Danny feel special, the band was phenomenal and we got so many compliments on you! Thank you so much for everything, your talent and kindness made a huge impression on everyone!


 

Everything went Wonderfully! Band was great and everyone was dancing throughout their performance. Shirts and Skins was everything we hoped a live band would be for our wedding reception and MORE!


 

Just getting back from the honeymoon. Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know it was fantastic! The band was great and we had awesome feedback (and still getting it) from everyone who attended. Thanks so much :)


 

It was AMAZING!!! We had the best day ever, and absolutely LOVED the band and made our wedding reception excellent! They did such a great job creating a set list and keeping the dance floor going! Our guests were so excited about the live music and kept commenting on how great the band was! They had the audience and myself and my husband involved the whole time and made it such a memorable experience. Andy, our DJ that was part of our package was fantastic too! He and I had such a great phone call the week prior, to get acquainted and set the plan for our night. He was a great host for the evening, and was great at checking in on my husband and me to get our feedback on set lists and vibe. The whole evening was a 10/10 and we will definitely be recommending your name for any future events!


 

Everything went awesome Saturday night with Shirts and Skins at our Fire Dept Dance! The band sounded great and did an awesome job on setup and tear down and especially on stage! I heard nothing but good things from all the people at the dance as well!
 


Everything went wonderful The band was amazing and everyone loved them and are still commenting on them!!! They really made our wedding reception special and were very accommodating and personal! Thank you SO MUCH!


 

The comments our Fair committee heard over and over and over about Shirts and Skins were: They are YOUNG, VERY energetic & interact with the crowd like a National Act would! They brought in 4 times as many people as we had seating for and smashed our all-time beer sales record for Saturday! Heck yes we are having them back next year! WOW WHAT A BAND!


 

Omg the band was phenomenal!!! They sounded great, their energy was contagious, and the crowd loved them! My friends and I danced for 2 hours straight! I would love to make this work again for next year! We felt that everything went very well! People loved the band and they were great to work with! Will have them at our festival again in the future!


 

Went great! The comments I got were “awesome” “great” “Really good” 'spectacular"! Our town festival was a success, thank you Shirts and Skins and also to ACTS-TREME TALENT for making the booking process so seamless!


 

Skirts and Skins were AMAZING! We had a great turnout, the weather cooperated, and everyone raved about the band! They made our Dairy Festival a HUGE success! Thanks so much again, we will definitely book them again in the future!


 

Awesome show at HonDah Casino in Pinetop AZ! My brother and I and better halves were on a little mini-vacation and heard there was "live entertainment" at the casino so we came out there on Thursday night. We had a blast and dances our butts off. My husband never dances but he did that night and I totally loved it because I love to dance and never really get to. We got back to the hotel and he said "Damn that was fun"! Thanks for letting me/us dance our tails off! When are you coming back to there? Maybe we'll just have to plan our next get-a-way!


 

We just saw you at Shooting Star casino and we were blown away! You by far are the best band we've seen there and that's saying something because there are a lot of good bands that play there. My husband and I are going to bring our company party out there when you are back in July! CAN'T wait till everyone gets to see you. Fun Band!


 

Everything went very well, once Xcel Energy got the power back on. The band was great and everyone loved them! They even played till 11 to make up for the 1 hour power outage they couldn't perform without even being asked! We were obviously going to shut down the party and just have them tear down but they insisted on waiting for the power to be fixed. WOW we couldn't believe it! They made the birthday party even better than we ever thought! THANK YOU!


 

If you want the perfect band for your town event, SHIRTS AND SKINS is the one! They performed at at our town celebration and everyone couldn't be happier! They do such a wide variety of good music and had us all dancing right off the bat! This year we had their Diamond package which was awesome! Next year we are getting their Ultimate VIP package... SO EXCITED to have horns for that! Also wanted to mention they are very personable and talked with us on their breaks unlike a lot of the other bands that come off stage and act like they're better that us. We highly recommend this band for anyone that wants to have an awesome time!


 

Everything went great!! We couldn't have asked for better entertainment at our reception! We are looking forward to the next time that we can use Shirts & Skins for our next event!


 

Everything went great and everyone loved the band. They did a great job and made our corporate company party a HUGE success! We will for SURE be having Shirts and Skins next year!


 

Thanks for an awesome show at our annual GALA! It was so amazing you dressed in our theme colors. No one has ever cone that in all the years we've had this event. You all looked SHARP and performed equally as well! We all had a fun night!


 

Thanks for a wonderful night of dancing and fun. We've had a lot of bands over the years for our company awards banquet but have to say Shirts and Skins has to be one of the best! We appreciated the personal attention you gave our VIPs and award winners.  We were also amazed at the special attention your musicians gave to our owner's son. The poor little guy has had a tough go of it and you made him feel like he was king of the world. Phillip (owner and Dad) said that he literally took the drum stick and guitar pic to bed with him, just as proud as could be of them! You area a real class act and would recommend you to anyone and everyone!


 

Thank you so much for making out company event a success! All of our clients loved the band and everyone had a great time! We for sure want you back next year. Also I gave your INFO to a person (one of our clients) who is looking for a band for their company Christmas Party at 3M! So be expecting a call about that too! You have a bunch of new fans! Thanks again Missy, Frank, Jenny and the "gang"!


 

The band was wonderful! So talented! It truly made our reception a HIT and you wouldn't believe all the people that asked us where we found you and for your contact INFO. We told them all how stress free the booking process was and how thoroughly Acts-Treme Talent and band manager James were at explaining everything and setting up for our special situation. MUCH appreciated and would HIGHLY recommend Shirts and Skins band to anyone and everyone that wants a professional and outstandingly talented/entertaining band!


 

Hire them! They were absolutely amazing before and at our wedding! Working with them on planning was painless and straightforward. All of my emails were answered super quickly and thoroughly. I felt very confident that we were on the same page going into our event. Day of they were right on time and very professional. We hired a pianist for our ceremony and it was perfect. During the reception they kept the party the going. There was never an empty dance floor. Everyone during and afterward was talking about how great the music was and how much fun they had! The band is super talented, has a wide breadth of capabilities and are true entertainers and professionals! If you are contemplating having them at your wedding, stop thinking about it and go for it, you will not regret it!


 

The Shirts and Skins were amazing! They have an extensive song list and knew exactly how to get the party started! Our dance floor was packed all night! We are still getting compliments from guests months later! I would highly recommend them!


 

Shirts & Skins BEST Wedding Band!! We hired the Shirts & Skins band for our daughter's wedding this past August and we're so glad we did! From our first discussion to the last James (leader) was always responsive and informative, answering all our detailed questions. James worked with us on various packages which included both a sax and fiddle player; who were outstanding, as were their vocalists and the other members. He also spent time on discussing song selections that work for all ages! It was especially appreciated that the band made sure to learn a few favorites of the bride & groom! James promised that the dance floor would be full the entire night and it was! We're so happy we decided to go with a band! Thanks James and crew, people are still asking "who was that band, they were great!" Would totally recommend!!


 

First time having or seeing a live band at a wedding and it was by for the better experience to have been apart of. Shirts and Skins were AMAZING!


 

A live band is more fun... especially if the band is SHIRTS AND SKINS!! We wanted to do something different so we went with a live band. The whole experience was great! Loren@ACTS-TREME TALENT AGENCY the promoter to James the Band leader the go to. Everyone was easy to work with. The whole band is so talented and so lovely. Worth every dollar.


 

They were amazing! Everyone enjoyed the variety of music and how easy the staff was to work with. Shirts and Skins made our Company's 90th Anniversary Celebration a success! Thank you so much!


 

It couldn't have gone better in my opinion. Best attendance ever. The band sounded awesome and got a lot of people dancing. Thanks again for your help!


 

Shirts and Skins were awesome! So personable, high energy, and terrific musicians. The fiddle added a lot, everyone complimented his talent! The sound guys were so nice and the lights, ect really added to the fun. We would highly recommend Shirts & Skins to others!


 

The band couldn’t have be better! Totally rocked the house. They really made our wedding reception FUN! Thank you so much!


 

The band was absolutely amazing! We had the best time and they were all so fun and easy to work with! We had so many compliments and had such a great time! Please extend our thank you to all of them! They made our wedding and our night! 


 

Everything went great! We all had a great time and lots of compliments on the band from our guests! Thank you guys, you really made our wedding day even more special!!


 

Amazing group, amazing talent, fun, friendly, respectful. Would gladly hire again. Lots of compliments. Made the surprise birthday party a complete sucess! Thank you


 

Thanks for everything, we are so appreciative you re-arranged your schedule to fill in for the band that canceled on us for our wedding! Truth be known, Shirts and Skins was twice the band we had booked and we had so many comments from our guests how good you were. The DJ was awesome too. Our daughter originally wanted just a DJ but we talked he into a band. So glad it worked out with you because we got the best of both worlds with the package we chose with the DJ option. What a fun night! Also wanted to thank Loren @ ACTS TREME TALENT for making the booking process so stress free and going the extra mile at helping make it work out for us! You all really made a very stressful situation turn into a beautiful day of FUN! 


 

Shirts and Skins just played their last encore (they did 2 because everyone was begging for more) and I had to text you to let you know they were phenomenal! The package we chose for our reception was absolutely incredible! The DJ really put the icing on the cake and made the cocktail hour FUN! The band was awesome and we loved how they dressed for their performance. CLASSY! I had 2 different people ask how to contact you about their daughter's weddings and of course I gave them your number!  Thank you for everything!  


 

Thank you so much for everything! The band was was awesome and got people dancing the very first song and had people dancing all night! For sure the best band we've had at our festival in years! We normally don't book a band for 2 years in a row but be expecting a call for next year as soon as we get our date set!


 

Everything went great! The show was fantastic. We had beautiful weather.


Thank You for making our small town festival event a large town success! You drew in people from all the surrounding communities and we've never had the response when we've had any other band in the past as we have for you! One of our committee members originally saw you when you were playing at that huge Oktoberfest in LaCrosse and the rest is history! We highly recommend Shirts and Skins for any event and hired them again on the spot for our next year's town festival!! True pros and fabulous entertainers! We are all looking forward to seeing you next year (and many times in-between)!!


 

First off, you guys/gals we're simply outstanding!!!!! People were coming up all night asking who you were and where we found you!!! The music was as promised and beyond!! The dance floor was full the entire night!!! Thanks for putting up with all our questions and details!! We just wanted to reach out and thank you!!!! Nancy & Ken Wedding


 

They were GREAT, everyone really liked the band! We couldn't be more pleased with the band's performance! They made our Country Club Anniversary Party a huge success! We in fact had several inquieries about how to contact the band. One of which is an elite member who is going to hire you for their daughter's wedding. Another is a festival. We for sure will have you back for whatever our next event will be. THANK YOU! 


Shirts and Skins at our Bavarian Fest went VERY Well! I forgot that we booked a 90 min show, so I was about to have a half hour of dead air.....they GLADLY played a few more songs and saved me!

Great bunch of folks! Good energy!


 

Thanks for the perfect night! The band was excellent and we loved how personable they were on their breaks as well. Our entire guest list has a ball! Thank You for performing for our party!


 

OH MY GOODNESS! Shirts and Skins totally made our wedding night unforgettable! You weren't kidding when you told us that the horn section would put it over the edge. Some of our family use to play in bands through the years and they were all blown away by your show! My brother-in-Law (nickname outlaw if you remember from that night) was a drummer that toured for many years. He couldn't quit talking about it all night how the horn section was so tight and made the whole band as he put it "sparkle". All of our guests kept coming up to us all night asking where we found Shirts and Skins and we of course told them you (Acts-Treme Talent) introduced them to us. Let's just say you have a BUNCH of new fans now and don't be surprised if you get a call from our friends and family that came from Colorado to perform at their weddings! THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything! 


 

Oh it was amazing, they made our Summerfest the best it's been in years!! I am already getting asked when we can get them back to town!! Everything was great on our end-hope it was on their end also because we'll see them next year if they can come back!!!


 

Wanted to drop you a line from our whole Fire Dept and say Thanks for the very fun night! The band did a great job and people loved them! We've already had several requests to get you back next year so prepare to see us again! We also thought it was really nice how you included all the firemen in pictures with the band, we really appreciate the time you took to involve us all!


 

It was so amazing. The band absolutely crushed it!!! Really made our wedding the most talked about in the history of our family's weddings! We all wished we would've found you years ago! What a difference it is to have a band that dresses to the "T" and makes the songs we all love even more fun and "danceable". Even great Grandma was cuttin' the rug! We were stunned to see her dancing and when we went out to her and said WHAT IS GOING ON, she said "Well you didn't think I was going to let all you have all the fun now did you?" And wanted to thank you for taking the time to come off stage and dance with her and make her feel extra special! Made her night and made our even MORE! Literally brought tears to our eyes.. WE LOVED! IT! Thank you for an unforgettable night and thanks for being so professional and nice!


 

The crowd at our festival seemed to really enjoyed the show. The first clue was 20 seconds after they started their first song and the dance floor area was instantly PACKED for literally the rest of the night! We've heard a lot of positive things and we'd love to have them back anytime!


 

WoW! We chose your Ultimate VIP Package and SO GLAD WE DID! Unbelievable! The horns, girl vocalists, male vocalists, musicians, lighting and special stage effects were like something you would see and hear at a National concert and had a ton of people say that too! What a truly amazing show! You are by far the best act in the Midwest and 110% the most professional and just plain nice people to boot! Thanks so much for entertaining our town at our annual street dance. The general consensus is Shirts and Skins was the best band to date and we will be having you back! We also are very appreciative of how easy the booking process was to so kudos to ActsTreme for helping us through our growing pains and all the suggestions that really paid off for us!


 

What a street dance! You guys made our annual Fire Dept dance the best it's ever been! We received the most comments we've ever have gotten for a band in the history of us having bands! You are going to come back next year whether you want to or NOT! LOL! Tell Loren/ACTS-TREME TALENT to expect a phone call as soon as we have next year's date solidified!


 

We wanted to say a special thank you for your talented and heartfelt performance for our Daughter's wedding reception. You literally brought tears to a lot of our eyes. The little boy (Bobby) that you made feel so special by having him "help" you sing his favorite song "Save a Horse, Ride A Cowboy" has had a struggle with serious health issues his whole little brave life and is in the hospital a lot for major things. Bobby was in cloud 9 when your female singer Katie came off stage and put the spotlight on him and was so excited and proud the whole rest of the night. Actually it's been a week and a half since the dance and his Mom told me that he still is talking about it! Your band is truly amazing and going out of the way to make a little boys dreams come true like you did show that you are truly wonderful people too! Thanks so much for the amazing night of wonderful music/dancing. You will be recommended to EVERYONE! You have a ton of new fans (especially one very excited and sweet 7 year old boy BOBBY!!


 

Everything was FANTASTIC!!! The day was absolutely perfect and the Shirts and Skins band/DJ package were so great! We had friends and family from around the globe and they were all thoroughly impressed! In fact my cousin from France is getting married next year and WILL be contacting you for their August 2022 wedding which she said will be held in Brainerd, MN at a resort on Gull Lake! Thanks so much for everything and making our wedding day even more special! 


 

Shirts and Skins was/IS an amazing band! Thank you for finding them for us for our wedding!! ACTS-TREME TALENT made everything painless and was always there with a lightning quick response anytime we had a question. Both the band and the talent agency is HIGHLY recommended!


 

It was so amazing! The band absolutely crushed it!!! Thank you for everything! Rogers Wedding


 

Excellent show and super friendly band. We loved how you all talk to the people in the audience when you are on break. And when you are on stage as well! All of our crew here at the station love how you guys went out of your way to take pictures with us by our trucks and the girls even put on our suits! Keep up the good work and see you at our next Fireman's Dance!

 


 

Wanted to thank you so much for the Virtual show you did a while back during the order to "stay at home". We were so upset we couldn't have our party but thoroughly enjoyed your online show and so much appreciated it! Your band truly is leaps ahead of the other bands we considered! Can't wait to see you live on stage, we're bringing the whole crew out!!

 


 

We wanted to let you know that our Daughter Tanya and now Husband Matthew are so grateful for everything you did for them. When the venue's audio equipment went haywire in the middle of the ceremony, without even having to be asked, you swooped in with your speakers and microphones and saved the day and only took a few minutes! We can't express how much that meant to us! And then the actual reception... WOW! What a memorable night filled with awesome music and dancing. Everyone from the kids up to Grandma and Grandpa loved it! Our family feels like we've gained some new friends! We will be recommending you to anyone and everyone and will be coming to see you soon! Thanks For Everything!

 


 

Your band is spot on! We loved how you covered all the bases with the genres of music, it kept our crowd engaged and having fun! Also wanted to say Ted & I really appreciated how professional you were and looked! You were the most professional and courteous band we've ever had at our company party and the and best dressed group as well! We totally want you back next year and everyone can't wait to have you back again!

 


 

Shirts and Skins performance at our Theater of Performance Arts was incredible! We loved how they incorporated a dedication to our Military and Country. It was spectacular how they incorporate both female and male vocalists into their show and their diverseness as well! We've been flooded with comments on how good their show was. We actually had a request to have them come back later in the year so a local company could have their staff and employees come to the show! Highly recommended!

 


 

It went Great at our Rockfest 2020 and everyone loved them!

 


 

It was great – they drew our biggest crowd so far this summer! Which is both great and not so great since we had a difficult time social distancing everyone.  This is one we want back! Thanks again for your help with the short notice and accommodating us! Also.. we have one more concert and my team told me this morning that they wish that Shirts and Skins were scheduled for our closing the summer concert! Maybe next year we will have them as our opening concert!!

 


 

Our wedding reception went fantastically well!! Everybody loved the band!!!

 


 

Everything went well at our Firefighters event! They were very good again this year and we all loved them! Thank you to ACTS-TREME TALENT for your help through all of this.

 


 

We thought it went really well again this year at our Hearts and Diamonds Spectacular. Our program ran a little long so band didn't get on until 9:30 ish and the dance for was hopping immediately after!!  We thought the band sounded great!  Thanks for everything! 

 


 

They brought the heat to our casino showroom stage! Our audience loved them and to be honest, we received the most comment cards we've had in ages for a band that performs here! The staff also made sure to let us know how nice the band was, how easy they were to work with, how well dressed they were each night and how the audience reacted to/with them. They said that this was the quickest any band has ever got people out on the dance floor.  Even though we'd like to keep them "our little secret, we would highly recommend Shirts and Skins to any event looking for a Top Notch band! Thanks again for a great show and looking forward to your upcoming return!  

 


 

We thought they did a great job for our largest party of the year NEW YEAR'S EVE in our Casino VIP Showroom! They showed up on time and delivered the show they promised & more! Very solid band and easy to work with. We thought it went very well and are looking forward to having them on rotation in our showroom!!

 


 

It went great! The band's make-up for our company's "Zombie Theme" was incredible! We also hired someone to do ours. Another great year, thank you!

 


Thank you so much for rocking out with us!  Our guests truly enjoyed the evening. The most important thing was that everybody had a great time!  We will definitely keep the band in mind for future events. ...Corporate New Year's Eve Party!


 

Thank you for coming back to our Casino for our Holiday extravaganza week! I used to work there when your band was here a few years ago and was so let down when you didn't come back. When we asked when you were returning the Marketing Manager said they had cut back on their budget and had to eliminate bands that were over the "new limit" (most of them) which she said was actually unreasonable to expect a band to travel that distance and to perform for but that's what the new GM wanted so she had to do it. Well needless to say the quality of entertainment went down the drain and people literally quit coming to the lounge anymore. I'm so glad they had a better budget for that week you were back because it went so well that they are now putting their budget back up so we can get quality groups like Shirts and Skins back on rotation here!  Oh and by the way, your band is better than ever!

 


 

Our company Christmas Party went great! Shirts and Skins were awesome and we couldn’t have been happier!

 


 

Just wanted to send a note and send our thanks for a great performance Friday night. If we ever have the opportunity to book Shirts and Skins again - we will definitely do it. Everyone who attended had great time and loved the band and their talent. Even despite the weather, it all worked out great. Thanks again!

 


 

BIG BIG HIT at our wedding reception dance!!!  It was the dance of the century for Northeast Iowa. We have 3 more kids and will definitely be booking Shirts and skins again.
And will be looking at your schedule to go watch.
 


 

It was GREAT!  We had many guests come up to us and comment on how wonderful the band was!  We agreed – they did awesome at our GALA!

 


 

Everything went without a "hitch" at our reception! The band is beyond incredible and they kept everyone on their feet! It was such a fun time and we got many compliments!! Everyone had a great time and was on their feet the whole night!  Thank you again, I will be recommending the band to anyone who asks!!
 


 

Everything went great! The band arrived on time, had everything set up with plenty of time to spare, was easy to hook my iPad into their sound system to play a playlist during dinner, had the microphone and stand set up for the ceremony, and most importantly, they were amazing!  Jorden and I received so many comments about how good the band was at our reception and how entertaining the performance was! Thank You!

 


 

It just doesn't get any better! We had such a blast as did all our guests at our reception. You are a very classy band and all of you dressed awesome to boot! We are soooo GLAD we chose Shirts and Skins instead of the Blue Water Kings. We saw one of the versions of their band a couple weeks after our wedding at one of our friends at work's wedding and it was no comparison to your band. We are still having people comment on how great you were.. In fact there was a couple we saw at the wedding we saw Blue Water Kings at and they said the same thing we were thinking. You have a lot of new fans and we will recommend you to anyone and everyone! THANK YOU!

 


Everything went great! We were very happy and will keep the in mind for the future!!   ...Grape Harvest Party & Stomp


 

We all had a great time at our Firefighters fundraising street dance and the crowd really enjoyed the band!  Most likely will have you guys back next year!!

 


 

Everything went AWESOME! They did not disappoint and made our wedding reception spectacular! Everyone had a blast, and from what I heard the band did too:) I will recommend this band!

 


 

Hello! The band is awesome and we are very pleased with the show they put on for our town Festival! Thanks for your follow up and we will be discussing next year in the next couple of months!

 


 

It was epic!! We really appreciate the band... the whole town loved em and hopefully I'll be able to bring em back. Thank you for helping make it happen!!!!

 


 

Everyone really liked them and would enjoy having them back again next year at our Corn Roast festival!!

 


 

It went Great!!! They were really good and everyone had a great time at our street dance festival!

 


 

I was in Baudette this weekend (I’m from there)…….and had no idea you played at the street dance until the next day! The next day all my daughters friends and my nephews friends were going on and on and ON about how good the band at the street dance was, and they couldn’t believe Baudette had actually booked someone that sang such good, modern music!! So you made a huge impression on the 20 – 30 year olds, that’s for sure! Also, my daughters best friend manages the new brewery in a neighboring town and her mind was reeling on how to book you guys for a brewery event in the future :)  Great Job!!!

 


 

Our festival went great!! The weather was fantastic and the band was awesome (again)!! A good time was had by all!!!

 


 

It was a great night! Shirts & Skins exceeded our expectations! Talented musicians all around there!  ...Family Foundation Fundraiser

 


 

We think our Flag Fest event went very well and Shirts and Skins were great entertainment! Highly recommended!

 


 

We loved having Shirts & Skins play at our reception- the dance floor was full for the entire night! Thank you so much for everything, it's been an absolute pleasure working with you. We really appreciated how easy you made the booking process too and the time you spent with us working out details! You will be HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to anyone and everyone!  

 


 

Shirts and Skins were FANTASTIC! The crowd loved them and they put on a great show! Exactly what we were looking for! We would be excited to work with you in the future so we will be in touch about next year’s Art fair ASAP!

 


 

Our multi-Birthday Bash was off the chart! I wish we had a Birthday every year! ...WAIT we DO!  Plan on being with us next year year, this was just too much F U N ! PS.. Thanks for letting Larry get up and rock a little on stage!  ...Frank, Samantha and Larry!

 


 

Shirts and Skins was 5 Star as usual! Let's lock them in for next year again!! ...Harley Davidson Rally

 


 

Our wedding reception went Great!!! Shirts & Skins did an amazing job! We'd like to tip the band, and will be sending that shortly. What a fun filled night, we couldn't have asked for any more!

 


The band was AWESOME! We received so many compliments on the band and how great they sounded. They also made my boss' dreams come true and played La Bamba and let him sing! We would love to have Shirts & Skins back next year!! ..Corporate


WE LOVED having Shirts and Skins here at our venue! They are an amazing group and band. Got a lot of compliments!  We would love to book them again!!


 

Everything went perfect! Great band, thank you!! Thanks to the band leader James and ACTS-TREME TALENT too, for making this the smoothest band booking we've ever had!  ..Corporate Holiday Party

 


 

The band was very good as usual! Never have to worry about them!  ...Casino

 


 

It was fantastic!! They killed it! This band is amazing!! I heard so many compliments of the band last night and again this morning when we were cleaning up. Thanks for all your help and always being on top of it! It has been great working with all of you.  ...Fundraiser

 


 

Thanks for everything! The event went very well and the band was great! I don’t remember seeing so many people out on the dance floor so early in the evening.. EVER! It was a fun night and the band dressing in the 80’s to fit our company party theme made it even better. Corporate Party

 


 

Everyone that I talked with thought the band was very good!  One of the very best we've had throughout the years!   .. Corporate Holiday Party

 


 

The show was fantastic!! Shirts and Skins killed it! This band is amazing!!  I heard so many compliments of the band last night and again this morning when I went to clean up. 
Someone wants to hire them for a function at the Rochester Country Club later in the year!!  Thanks for everything! It has been great working with all of you!
 


 

The event went very well and the band was great! We don’t remember seeing so many people out on the dance floor so early in the evening. It was a fun night and the band going the extra mile and dressing in the 80’s theme to fit our event perfectly made it even better! Thank again and Shirts and Skins are HIGHLY recommended by all of our team!!

 


 

WOW!!  This is the ultimate band for any party!  Going off the recommendation of another company that we do a lot of business with, we hired Shirts & Skins for our company's annual Midwest event and everyone was ecstatic! They had everyone on the floor from the first song to their last (which was 3 songs past when they were supposed to be done because everyone kept screaming for more)!  The only thing we regret is not renting the facility for later in the night because we would have gladly paid them to do an extra set! TOO MUCH FUN!  Needless to say we will be having them at our next event and we all HIGHLY recommend anyone that wants an awesome band to entertain them to the fullest to get Shirts & Skins!!  Very fun band with a high energy audience involving show, and have both female and male awesome vocalists and unbelievable song list! Great Job Shirts & Skins Band, we all look forward to seeing you again!  Also want to mention how ACTS-TREME TALENT was a pleasure to deal with. Very informative and quick to help and respond.  All in all a winning team and highly recommended!  

 


 

Shirts and Skins Band delivered! Exactly what we wanted for my daughter's wedding reception - live music and amazing soloists. The dance floor was busy all night while they played a wide variety of songs - from Toto and Guns N Roses to Adele. What an evening - thank you Shirts and Skins Band!!

 


 

This band was FABULOUS!! They kept the crowd entertained and dancing. During breaks, we had a DJ contracted through them who was also FABULOUS! I would recommend them to anyone!!  ..Katie Z

 


 

Out of all the bands we had at Oktoberfest the crowd especially liked Shirts on Skins on Saturday. They packed the house and we really appreciated their German outfits – great touch for the festival. We’d love to have them back again!!
 


 

It went Really good, they we're amazing! Thank you. We most likely will be having them back again for Brat Daze next year!

 


 

Shirts & Skins were awesome everyone was telling us how great the band was! I have a good feeling that we would like to have them back again for our festival her in Strum!

 


WOW!!  What an unbelievable band!  You had us all dancing from your first song to the last.  Everyone was blown away by your variety and excellent vocals and musicians. We wholeheartedly recommend Shirts and Skins to anyone and everyone that wants to have FUN!   They all dressed so nice as well.. VERY CLASSY!  The one thing that we really appreciated was the ease of booking Shirts & Skins and coordinating with them of what we wanted for our day.  The band leader and their booking agency made it a stress free process and we feel we got way more than we asked for!  Great show Shirts and Skins and thank you for such a memorable day!!  People are still commenting to us how they were blown away by you!


 

 It couldn’t have gone better!! The band was fantastic, everyone loved them! Would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

I just got home from our Rochesterfest Finale "Party in the park" and I wanted to pass along to you what a fantastic job Shirts and Skins did! Your 3 lead women vocalists are simply awesome and the group sounded great. We received a lot of comments about the diversity of their playlist and how they sounded. I especially liked how well they interacted with the crowd. A storm was rolling in as they finished so we did not take up a lot of their time but I would like you to pass along our sincere thanks and appreciation!!


The band is incredible! The electric fiddle had us hooked from day 1. All really nice people and the DJ they used was very good as well.

I would recommend Shirts & Skins to anyone looking for a fun, interactive band for their wedding or event! We were told countless times how great they were throughout the evening and in the weeks since!

Wedding: 07/03/2016 - Services Used: Band


Shirts and Skins did a fantastic job at our wedding reception. They were incredibly eager to please our party. The members of the band did change between our booking and the actual event, but they rocked it for us. The only small oversight was we never did find time to finalize a play list, but their selections kept everyone happy. We would definitely book them again.

Seriously, they had everyone out on the dance floor by the end of the night - even old cranky family members that I'd never even dreamed would be dancing at my wedding. I'd never been to a live-band wedding dance and was so on the fence about it. Therefore, the band/dj option put my mind at ease. What a brilliant idea by Shirts and Skins. Our guests just raved about the quality and had an absolute blast. Highly recommend!

Everyone at our wedding loved the band (Shirts & Skins). They sounded great! Great guitar and fiddle work. Great female vocals. We had a fantastic dance party with lots of energy. Ahead of the big day, these guys put us at ease with their focus on keeping the dance floor packed and pacing the songs in a smart way. They let us have a lot of influence over the set, but giving them some flexibility wound up being perfect. They read the crowd very well. James the band leader was helpful and easy to work with. We opted for a package that included a DJ/Emcee for the evening, and he was great also (very communicative and useful, but didn't draw too much attention to himself). Nicely done. We would definitely recommend Shirts and Skins! These guys know how to do it. - Beth & Dan

Everything was absolutely amazing at our wedding reception! Shirts & Skins and the DJ were so easy to work with! 10 out of 10 for sure! Thank you for everything!


Fabulous!! The band was wonderful and we had a fantastic time!! We'd hire then again in a heartbeat!! Also Thank you for your help ACTS-TREME TALENT, and coordination from beginning to end!


 

Everything went great!  The room, the crowd and the band were awesome! The band played an acoustic set for the first set during dinner. It really set the tone, then from the first song of the electric sets, the dance floor was full and remained that way all night. The event as a whole went very smoothly and, being a charity event with the goal of raising money, they did just that. As always, Shirts and Skins played a flawless show and was professional throughout. Their talent, variety and professionalism truly stand out among other acts in town and the Foundation has been very lucky to have them as part of this event.  Plus they are just a fun bunch of people.  The group is meeting next week to discuss future plans with them! Thanks again to ACTS-TREME TALENT and the band for the part you played in making the event such a success for the past two years. This year especially, everyone had a great time!!


 

Everything went great!  Band is fun, they were dressed in ugly Christmas sweaters which was perfect! Customers loved the band, which is what matters! .. Christmas party The Lodge


 

Everything went great and please pass along the THANK-YOU to the band and they have a lot of new fans! .. Fargo Corporate Christmas Party

This was actually for a cooperate anniversary celebration - our 10th anniversary gala! The band was amazing - They were reasonably priced, and willing to work with what music we wanted to hear. This was a very formal event and they were dressed to impress :) I would HIGHLY recommend them for any event! They are a ton of fun and interact with the audience and they all have amazing voices. Wish I would have known about them when I got married - they are very entertaining and we will definitely use them again. **Update** we also used them for another cooperate event - this was a parking lot party! It was outside, and windy as could be - these guys were troopers! We felt bad because everyone wanted to be inside and warm, but they played on in the cold and wind - and it provided our event with a very festive atmosphere! This time we let them do there own set of songs, and I would always recommend this in the future! They are truly artistic and so talented at what they do - it was fun to see them each shine VS the gala event where we wanted all "female" songs. LOVE LOVE LOVE them and Again - we would HIGHLY recommend them - they do not dis-appoint.

LOVED YOUR MUSIC at our reception! It was like we were at a concert, we really thought you were that good and were amazed at how accommodating you were. We were also blown away at how you ALL have excellent voices and can do both male and female songs and how you got the people dancing from the get go! Couldn't believe you guys did Cotton Eyed Joe and then went into Ice Ice Baby! Sounded like the record with the fiddle and vocals and like Mr Vanilla himself ;)---->UNREAL! Its almost like you are 3 or 4 bands in one the way you go from a Country song to a Rock-n-Roll song to an oldies song and the awesome part is you did them all equally as well. Anyhow we just wanted to say that Shirts & Skins will be at 2 of our friend's weddings coming up too as they loved them at ours and we will be coming out to any shows you are in our area! Thanks AGAIN for an awesome night!

Shirts & Skins performed the reception music at our wedding and WOW - they took the event to a different level - they played incredible cover songs that got everyone out on the dance floor, they had a lot of energy, the songs were all polished & sounded wonderful! We would definitely use them again for another big event, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an energetic, fun band! We had an outdoor reception under a large tent, and they transported all their equipment and everything all the way down a large hill and to the tent location onto the stage and got everything set-up themselves. They arrived very early so as to have enough time to set-up and rehearse and be done with set-up by the time the guests sat for dinner. They were all very friendly and respectful, and we had seen them play a couple times at local bars before booking them - and those performances were also great. Only downfall - wished we could've kept them playing all night long, but everything has to end eventually :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You guys made it so stress free and fun. We are so happy with our choice of using Shirts & Skins. The wedding party is currently planning a night to go and see our new friends, Sarah, Samuel, Kyle, James, Colin, and Andy.

If you are looking at this band and they have your big night open, book it quick or someone else will.

This band couldn't have made it any easier. We even moved the venue from inside to outside last min. They sent us a set list and let us make the song selection to our liking. Their is not a style of music this band cannot do. Swing, country, rock, oldies, pop, traditional, they have it all down. They are worth every dollar we spent.

We had the most fun we've ever had at a wedding reception! We heard they were having a live band and we were very much not looking forward to that as we were hoping they had a DJ. The last reception we were at had a band and they just plain stunk! We heard you doing the sound test and were blown away! We stayed and danced the whole night which was a very pleasant surprise as we planned to leave after the dinner because we figured the band was going to be like the last band we heard. Thanks again for such and awesome time. You are all very talented

First off, thanks for the rockin' awesome party! Damn, that was fun!!!!
I had at least 3 people ask me for your name and number because they want you at their wedding as well. I can almost guarantee we will be crossing paths again and that we will get to rock out all over again.
Thanks again!

I wanted to post a comment of recommendation for anyone looking for the perfect band for a wedding or anything else as far as that goes! We all thought you were the most professional, entertaining, people involving, easy/fun to dance to, energetic, pristine sounding, all around GREAT BAND with a great song list, vocalist, and unbelievable instrumentation (from guitars, keyboards, violin!). We actually want to have you at our town festival next year! You guys are the real deal and compared to the bands they have been getting over the last years, it's like comparing a Cadillac to a Pinto ;) We are going to talk with the committee and hopefully show our town what a real band is like! I know people would just flip out having you there! Also a friend of ours will be contacting you about their daughter's wedding for next year! Keep up the great work and hope to see you soon! Please put us on your mailing list!


~Other Feedback~

It went really well especially for the first year.  We were very very happy with the band.  I have seen them before so I knew they would be well received.  What I had NOT seen before was the professionalism they displayed while setting up and such.  Clearly they take this seriously.  

Thanks for all of your help.  We will for sure consider S&S for next year.


Everything went great and ran smoothly! It was great to have Shirts & Skins perform here and the students really enjoyed them! All the musicians were very friendly, appreciative, and professional. Thank you so much for everything!! I hope to see them again soon.
