Audience Reviews...

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! I saw you all for the first time at the Birchmere with In Gratitude (EWF) is my favorite group of all time. So I went to see them not knowing the what I was in for. OH MY GOD, Motown and More did a number on me. So I saw that you all were going to be at Bethesda Jazz... Man did me and family have the best time. My kids are 20, 22, 27 and they had so much fun. We are ready to see you all again!!! Love the show... It's the best 70x over.... God bless!!, MC
