WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT OUT OF TOUCH?
"Thank YOU (and all of Out of Touch) for being so wonderful to
work with! Despite the unfortunate weather conditions in the early
morning, you all had such great attitudes and were so professional
throughout the entire day. I can honestly say you are my favorite
group to work with! I had a lot of fun yesterday hanging out and
listening to your great music! Also, I have never seen a crowd stick
around as long as they did for you after the event yesterday! Out of
Touch was a hit!!"--Linsey S., Korff Enterprises, NY Road Runners
5k Race Against Prostate Cancer, Central Park, NY, 6/21/09

We are Out Of Touch, The Best of Rock-N-Soul, the perfect band
for your wedding, anniversary party, birthday party, corporate
function--anything! We feature all the greatest songs from the
history of popular music--standards from the Great American
Songbook, rock & roll of the 50s & 60s, Motown & Memphis r&b,
70s classic rock & Philly soul, the hits of The Big 80s, right up to
today's adult contemporary sounds. You can't go from left to right
on your radio dial without hearing at least 1 song from OOT's
Songlist! Best part? We make each song our own, thanks to great
musicians who have a real passion for putting out great music! We
have also done gigs as a Hall & Oates Tribute Band, which feature
all the hits as well as deep album cuts from those Songwriting Hall
of Famers!
Based out of Connecticut, we are available for all kinds of events,
parties, corporate functions and club dates all over the
country--weddings, birthday parties for all ages, anniversaries,

Darren's song clips, please click on the link for Jim & Darren above.
