The following is an email from the bride of a wedding we played:

NJ Music Scene in Review:
Phoenix Classic Rock band from NJ. Members: Cliff, John, Ted, Howard and Rob " only found first names on their web page”. Rocked Cloud 9 and I see another show has been added Friday June 30th. Cloud 9 is located at 172 Union Ave West Paterson plenty of free parking at the rear of the club. The night I went to check out Phoenix, Their fans would not let them leave! Screams for one more song over the cheering crowd and at least 5 or 6 songs later, they packed to go home well after 2AM. Now that is a band that gives their fans what they want!

"Hope they made some extra $ they deserved it"

Phoenix is a must see they are performing Beatles, Eagles, Tull, Stones, Petty, SVR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Clapton, Sabbath, Green Day, GnR and the list goes on and on 50's-through today their sound was tight and they had their own light show. Five music masters who put their own flavor on the music they covered. John the lead guitarist grabs the fans and doesn't let go! Playing solos of the masters but with a twist, behind his head with his teeth WOW! He has to be one of the top players I have seen in New Jersey today in my opinion. No Last Name?

But it doesn't stop there Cliff the second guitarist doesn't solo much but, sings the songs to the letter. When he performs a song he sounds just like the singer he is covering, not a lot of cover bands I have reviewed can claim the same. His vocals are money in the bank for this band. Cliff Who? 

The bass player Rob along with John has to be the driving force behind this band, his playing is monstrous! His hands are flying around the neck as much as John's does during the solos! He plays like he was born with a bass in his hands "Who is that guy on bass? He is unreal!" A person standing next to me asked me who too, must have been witnessing Rob's playing for the first time like myself. 

Teddy on keyboards keeps up with the rest and that is a lot to ask of him considering the songs that are being covered.

his solo of Tull's Locomotive Breath at the start of the song was one that is skipped over by many others covering this Tull song

and was a true credit to Ted's playing ability. his last name escapes me.

Howard on drums lays down steady rocking beats on the smallest drum kit I believe I have ever seen. He kept the crowd on their feet with a medley of The Wanderer and Kansas City with fine voice himself he's the total package. With no last oh you know. Phoenix is leaving their mark on the NJ club scene.

If you are looking to have a great time with a band that rocks!
Than look no more.
