"The
Kevin Cline Trio is spectacular!"
They performed at our
black-tie wedding in Chicago last October. We couldn't have
asked for a more talented band. They were very professional, and
played a large
variety of music ranging from jazz to old classics. We would
recommend them
highly!

party):
"The
Kevin Cline Quartet was great. Their range allowed us to tailor the
group to our needs and the tastes of our guests. They had a great
range and showed a lot of flexibility. Aside from that we enjoyed
having them in our homes on a personal level. I highly recommend
them!"

"Dear
Kevin,
Thank you very much for all of your help in finding a bagpiper for
my daughter's wedding. You are the best! You told me not to worry
and that you would take care of it. Well, you were right!
Thank you again,
Holly Hunley"
April 29th, 2006 at Sutton Place Hotel in downtown Chicago/wedding
for Melinda Joseph:
"Dear
Kevin,
You were great! You did exactly what I asked you to do
without much fuss at all. We told you what we wanted months
before the wedding and you didn't even think twice about it until
the week of. You did an amazing job! I think I may have
called you with some changes the week before the wedding and you
just took it all in stride and did exactly what we were looking
for. From the very first phone conversation you gave us the
confidence to let you do your job, and saying you did it well
doesn't give you the justice you deserve! We will definitely
recommend you to everyone we know!
Thanks again,
Melinda"
April 10th, 2006 at the Mid-America Club (80th floor of the Aon
Building) for the American Society of Andrology:
"Kevin,
What
a great time! What I heard from the group was nothing but praise
for the whole event. Your versatility and also sensitivity to the
situation and the crowd was impressive. The pre-dinner piano music
was just right. It was fun seeing several of the guests gathered
around the piano, listening to Misty accompanying the clinking of
glasses and the oohs and aahs as we all took in the view from the
Mid-America club. Full moon on a clear night from 80 floors up with
piano, nice! Then, and it was a great and pleasant surprise to me,
the dinner music! As we sat chatting and eating the full band
played some jazz classics at just the right volume for the room.
Many of the guests danced between courses. Then, just as they
cleared the tables, the lights dimmed, and Sundance the dance band
emerged. Gloria Gaynor! Wow, it was great, everyone was on their
feet. Scientists do like to dance. . The way you guys read
the crowd was impressive. Your cranked it up a notch and I think
nearly everyone was dancing-- past presidents of the society and
students a like. Your band brought out the boggie in everyone. I
don't know if its the singer or the horns-- or both, but you really
capture that Chicago sound-- and hosting this meeting of
international scientists; it was perfect. Of course being
able to sit in and play the harp was such a treat for me. And did
we tear the place down with "Sweet Home Chicago!" Wow, it was so
fun. The Society president just happened to be named Sally--
so how perfect was that when we played Mustang Sally. Then Johnny B
Goode! The place went wild. Seeing you and the singer dancing
when I was playing the harp was really fun. And after all that
energy, you came back with a nice slow ballad, and let everyone
catch their breath. Your finale capped the evening off-- as you
took to the floor with your trombone, all the ladies were swooning.
I am so pleased I found you guys to play for our function and will
absolutely hire you again. In the mean time, plan on seeing
me at some of your club dates-- its about the most fun I've had in
years."
Yours in admiration and appreciation-- Buck Hales, Professor,
UIC.

"Kevin Cline and his trio were
an absolutely superb complement to our annual Porchlight Benefit.
Lively and sophisticated entertainment of the highest
quality!"

"Kevin's Trio performed
recently at my In-Laws 50th Anniversary party. Their performance
was above and beyond expectations. The guests kept commenting on
how much they enjoyed the variety of music - so tastefully done.
The "frosting on the cake" was that my daughter (a student of
Kevin) got to play her flute as a special treat for her
grandparents. Thanks so much Kevin - you really outdid
yourself!"

"Kevin's trio energized the opening reception of our international
conference at the Chicago Ritz, setting a tone that was
sophisticated AND fun. He also played elegant solo piano as
background for our formal closing dinner. The music was everything
one could wish to share with visitors from all over the world.
Throughout the planning and both engagements, Kevin was extremely
professional. Thank you!"

on the North Shore. Kevin arrived an hour early, looked very
professional & did a great job performing with his electric
piano. Thanks for a great job!!!"

"Kevin was absolutely
fantastic! I got married in my parents' house in Michigan and he
was kind enough to drive all the way from Chicago. He made the
atmosphere so warm and beautiful, and I could just feel how it
touched the hearts of everyone in the room. Thank you Kevin for
making our day so much more special."

"The Kevin Cline Trio
performed for our birthday party at the Pittsfield Building in
downtown Chicago last July. They sounded absoludely wonderful, and
the crowd had the time of their lives! If you are having a party,
you better seriously consider this band. They won't let you
down!"

"Kevin Cline Productions" and
their band "Sundance" played at our Khe Sanh Veterans reunion in
Chicago, IL July 2005. A very talented band that played songs we
requested. They kept our dance floor full with 60's music. They did
a great job and we recommend this band
highly!"
