Jim, You guys did an awesome job! You made the party extra special and you do sound like H and O. We
have lots of parties so I will be in touch. THANK YOU!--Lisa C., New Jersey, featured on WE Network's
"Bridezillas"
Thanks to you and the boys in the band for making my wife's 40th birthday party an evening to remember.
Your choice and execution of each song was perfect. You read the pulse of the crowd and played it
perfectly. All my friends have asked where I found the band. You didn't attempt to overwhelm the party.
You let the music and your professional, friendly demeanor keep the party going. I had four generations
at the party from my elementary school-aged kids to their great grandmother and many in between. All
were impressed! Thanks again!--Marty K., Guilford, CT
We ALWAYS have a blast at your shows. You guys are dynamite. Not only are you terrific, but it seems
every song choice is right where we'd want ya to be. Great stuff. Thanks.--Seve E., Wilton, CT
This band has everything going it for it. A great sound, great personalities, and a great stage presence.
They played to the audience just right, and my people were on the dance floor all night. You wouldn't
believe the amount of emails I received all praising this band. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat & strongly
recommend them to everyone.--Ed S., Livingston, NJ
It was great to see you guys performing at Caffe Bottega in New Haven, CT a few weeks ago. I think you
guys sound even better now than when you first got started. Thoroughly enjoyed the mix of Rock & Soul
classics that evening!--Mel Ajero, on-air personality, WSUS/WNNJ, New Jersey
Thank you so much to Jimmy & the band for putting on an awesome show in my son's birthday party; for
giving us all so much fun! WE HAD A BLAST! It was a great an unforgettable birthday party--you were
fantastic, you are amazing!!!! EVERYONE was very impressed. These guys can rock the whole day and you
will not be tired of hearing them play. You will want more and more. I recommend hiring these guys, they
really put so much effort, THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL AND TRUSTFUL PEOPLE, you will LOVE HAVING THEM !!!!
Thanks again Jimmy and the Band for helping me with my son's birthday party!!!!--Jaqueline, New Fairfield,
CT
I saw a little bit of that video that Jim's brother, Chris, took of them playing Want To. It was outstanding! I'm
also a sucker for the clip that Heather sent me of OOT doing Me & Mrs Jones.--Dorothy B., Tucson, AZ
Love dancing to your music and enjoy listening. Keep playing and hope to see you in the Hartford
area!!!--Cathy S., Farmington, CT
The band was very professional and talented. We enjoyed having you at our party!! Thanks again!--Anne B.
Norwalk, CT
8/4/2007 Hey Jim...enjoyed the music yesterday at Chevy's, especially "August Day." You and Darren did an
awesome job. I LOVE that song. One of my favorites!!! Thanks!!--Josie B, Wolcott, CT
Although auditioning bands over the internet left me a bit uneasy, I could not be more satisfied with the
performance of the Out of Touch band. Our guests continually complimented the band throughout the
event, and a wonderful time was had by all. I would highly recommend the Out of Touch band to anyone
searching for an 80's party band for their planned event. To all the band members, thank you for doing
such an excellent job.--Mark & Rose L., NYCNY 7/14/07
You were fantastic at Captain's Cove! Thanks for giving my family a great afternoon!--Seve E., Connecticut
Finally made it to an "Out Of Touch" show, at Captain's Cove, and we were not disappointed! They were
GREAT! Jim and the band had the crowd going, especially an older man who danced non-stop either by
himself or with the young ladies.--Josie B., Connecticut
The Out Of Touch show at Captain's Cove was great! Thank you so much to Jim & the band for playing
Heartbreak Time & Missed Opportunity! We all had so much fun. Would love to see you again!--Marie,
Bridgeport, CT
Jim, Dorothy and I really enjoyed the show Saturday night. You did an amazing job on "Children Go Where I
Send Thee."--Allen K. LI, NY
We saw you guys last week @ JC HOOKS! we had a blast. Lenny is a good friend of ours. This is the best
band we've seen him in. I like the blend of music that your band delivers. Try to implement the sax a little
more, he's great.--Phil & Paula, Waterbury, CT
I'd like to say thanks to the band. They are great musicians and their passion for music shows in the way
they perform the covers of great hits. These guys are laid back and everyone is guaranteed to have fun
when these guys are on stage. Thanks guys for letting me get on stage with you. Can't wait for you to come
back through!--Chris C., Groton, CT
I have to say that cover bands are not usually something that would keep you in a club all night but after
seeing Out Of Touch my mind has changed. I stayed until the very last song & was still looking for more!
This band has so much respect for the music & the artist and it comes out in each song. I was very
impressed and they should be highly recommended to
anyone who wants to see a good band. If you are a Hall & Oates fan or not, the Band has a great sound and
made for a very entertaining evening. Hire these guys anytime and you won't be sorry!--Koreen D., Coram,
NY
Jim's band was truly terrific, as they played songs that Hall & Oates almost never play anymore...songs like
"I'm Sorry", "Abandoned Luncheonette", "Art Of Heartbreak", "Looking For A Good Sign", "Your
Imagination", etc. They have a deep respect for Hall & Oates music without resorting to gimmicky flashy 80s
outfits. If you're a Hall & Oates fan, you definitely need to check out Jim's band.--Mel Ajero, WSUS/WNNJ
Radio Personality, NJ
Thanks to Jimmy and the Band for a wonderful night. Got to hear a lot of songs we never hear in concert.
If any of you are thinking about going to see the next three shows Out Of Touch is performing....YOU MUST
ATTEND. You get to hear songs from all decades including songs like I'm Sorry. Out Of Touch did this
amazing. Thanks again Jimmy and the Band for an
unforgettable night!!!!--Allen K, Long Island
Y'all MUST go see Jim's band if you have the opportunity. Jim and his pals/band members are the nicest
people. And the band is REALLY good!!! (Jim definitely has a "Daryl channeling" thang goin' on.) I loved it
ALL...but an extra special thanks for playing "Private Eyes". I often feel like the ONLY diehard who LOVES
that song! I said, "Would you play Private Eyes? H&O
almost NEVER does that one." Jim replied in a very cute way, "Neither do WE!" and then about 3 seconds
later went right into it. The whole bar was singing along and doing the "clap clap" thing. It was a great
time and I'm so looking forward to the next time.--LuAnn, Herndon, VA
Jimmy...want to send out a huge THANK YOU for putting on a terrific show! Can't wait to see you and the
band after the show in Philly! Your band is a definite must see (or should I say, hear). I for one can't wait
to hear your band again! You guys are great!--Beth S., NJ
I attended the show at Dexter's with my sister and we both had a blast! They were so fantastic!! It was a
first time for me, and I'll definitely see them again.--Karma, CT
Thanks again Jim and the band, we had a great time.--Susan,MA
I decided to stop by Dexter's Cafe in Groton, CT to see Jim (jimmysoul) and his cover band Out Of Touch
perform a full band set. And a terrific set it was...playing songs like "Alone Too Long", "Possession
Obsession", "Did It In A Minute", a medley of "Used To Be My Girl/My Girl", "When Something Is Wrong With
My Baby", "Bigger Than Both Of Us" and other Hall & Oates and soul classics. I'm not saying this because
I'm a Hall & Oates fan, but these musicians are truly talented and are really onto something here. To the
best of my knowledge, I have not seen nor heard of a cover band dedicated to playing Hall & Oates music
and Jim's band fit the bill nicely. And from what I've seen from the locals who were just there to drink and
socialize at the bar, they were also impressed with Out Of Touch.--Mel Ajero, WSUS/WNNJ on-air talent, NJ
I must say that Jim and the Gang rocked during both the pre and post shows. Wow. I got to hear the most
interesting cover of You Make My Dreams and I must say that it was goooood.--Heather, NJ
Let me thank Jim for having such a wonderful cover of H&O. I enjoyed myself and Jim you can sing!--Eileen,
PA
Jim, your band rocks! You guys really put so much effort into the whole thing. If there is another wedding
in my family we've got to have the JimmySoul Out of Touch band.--Liz, Houston, TX
Just wanted to say that we enjoyed your music and had a blast at the get together after the show! For
anyone who has the chance to hear this group, do it! Thanks for the fun and the prizes!--Michelle,
Sarasota FL
All I can say is....Jimmy and his band "Out of Touch" are amazing. Those guys can rock and give a tribute to
Daryl & John that is out of this world!--Nancy, PA
A very BIG thanks to Jim and his band. What a time we had . You sound soooo good and hardly any
breaks... Wow so happy to hear you and hope to hear you again very soon.--Cindy, Elizabethtown, PA
Hey Jim, you guys were great. So much better than I anticipated. You have a great voice. You certainly
did play the songs you never hear anymore. You and your band impressed everyone I was hanging out
with.--Lisa, NJ
I never thought I'd hear Fall In Philadelphia and I'm Sorry live! Especially in the same night! Thanks to Out
Of Touch, it actually happened! Great job, Jim!!--Roger P, Long Island
Jim, you and the band did such a great job. I was trying to hold conversations with several people and
kept finding myself drift away in your songs. Imagine me - stop talking, start singing. You guys have the
power! If you and the band are playing a special extra long set concert, I'm willing to haul my butt back up
north from NC to hear you. It was so much fun!--Patrice, North Carolina
I have to say upfront I'm not a big fan at all of cover bands so when I first heard of an all H&O covers band I
was somewhat less than x-cited. At one point out of curiosity I took a listen to "Say It Isn't So" from the
band's website. I should point out that SIIS is probably one of the greatest songs ever written and remains
my favorite H&O song to this day. What I heard was very, very good. It sounded like what H&O would do if
they had covered it -- not just a
carbon copy song but a new twist with some style of thier own. I especially enjoyed the extra sax playing.
Maybe H&O should take note of this arrangement? If you can do SIIS and do it well then you can do no
wrong.--J.R., longtime Hall & Oates fan
I want to thank the band again for a great night. We appreciate you guys learning "Kerry." It sounded so
good. If you weren't there, you missed a great show. Just a little note to Darren--great sax work! Hope
everyone makes an effort to see some of the upcoming shows.--Allen Klein, L.I.
have lots of parties so I will be in touch. THANK YOU!--Lisa C., New Jersey, featured on WE Network's
