Cure Duchenne was so happy to have Pinch Me! perform at our non-profit fundraiser in October last year. Their music selection was perfect for the audience…in fact our guests did not want to leave the dance floor at closing time! The band management did so much more than just perform; they were very helpful in planning the event using their vast experience. I would highly recommend this band!

Words cannot express how much our school loved Pinch Me! for our spring benefit. They were the hit of our very elegant event. Their prep, organization and professionalism were just the beginning to what led to a fabulous sound that moved our entire room to the dance floor. We would recommend them for any size event to provide outstanding music for a wide range of ages.

I have had Pinch Me! perform on a variety of occasions. No matter what the celebration or cause, Pinch Me! is always a hit with our guests. Pinch Me! is always a pleasure and asset to have at our event. Pinch Me! has a great variety of music that makes everyone happy. From Van Morrison to Incubus, they adapt their performance based on their audience. I love having them play for us, and I can't wait for the next performance!

Pinch Me! is the best dance band around! Having lived in NYC, CT, Hawaii and now California, as an adult, I don't want to dance to "garage" bands anymore - I want a legit band that can play classical rock as well as the music of the millennium...and Pinch Me! has it. I am a HUGE fan! Pinch Me!!!

I had a birthday party and invited more than 100 guests. Pinch Me! completely made the party. Everyone was dancing and enjoying the song choices, and the light show was an added surprise. The band members are all such great guys and the young handsome lead singer definitely adds to the fun. I look forward to working with the Pinch Me! in the future. Rock on!!!

We hired Pinch Me! for our annual benefit after seeing them perform at another benefit. Their professionalism was amazing! They went "above and beyond" to ensure that all aspects of our evening's entertainment were covered. As an event planner, I've dealt with a lot of bands and Pinch Me! surpasses all of them!
