Dear Nicole and the NRG Band:

"On behalf of the Junior League of Bronxville I would like to thank you for your wonderful performance at our recreation of Truman Capote’s the Party of the Century “The Black and White Ball” at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York, on December 9th, 2006. It was an evening which included great friends, food and beautiful music provided by your band which allowed us the perfect atmosphere to raise funds to sustain the important ongoing JLB outreach programs that serve the women and children in the lower Westchester area. It was such a pleasure working with you to individualize the needs of our  winter social, and gear the musical selection to suit our theme! Thank you again for your professional attitude and wonderful music and sound in making our evening a fantastic success!"

Best Regards,

Araxi P. Macaulay

"No one wanted to leave the dance floor. Every one of you jammed hard with heart and soul and love. When people talk about how much they loved our wedding, they always mention the NRG band ....that moment will go down in history as the most connected, grounded moment to the earth and our hearts we have ever felt. We feel very blessed to have met you.  Everyone should be as fortunate as us on their wedding day. Having you as our band was great..you were the very least of my worries. I didn't once have to worry... You just instinctively knew all the right moves, all the right tunes, all the right grooves... the party felt like it was just the beginning...like there was more to listen to and learn from and love about your performance... I wished it went on forever but there is always one of your gigs, right? So, we'll come see you soon!"

LOVE AND HUGS,
JENNIFER AND DAN
