Sass Monkey is amazing! They are excellent communicators, organized, professional, and, most importantly, fantastic musicians!

They put on a wonderful 40th anniversary celebration for our parents and we cannot say enough great things about them!

They played an outstanding variety of music— all genres and all decades! I would highly recommend!

        email from wedding reception:

Don -

Thanks, again, for agreeing to play for our party. We greatly appreciate your willingness to do so, especially considering the effort and time involved for you and the rest of the band members to travel, set up, tear down, etc. 
Thanks, too, for going along with our surprise wedding secret, putting "Wabash Cannonball" on a playlist & playing it for us, and last but not least, for allowing our friend, Tad, to sing a couple songs with you. 
You were, as I hope you felt, a huge hit! People have been talking around town all week about how great you sounded, how truly talented all of you are, what a fantastic playlist you have, etc. 
I hope we can find a reason to have you back and that you'd consider coming.
Thanks, once, again, for everything! We couldn't be any happier than we are with our choice of bands and your performance.

Rebecca
