Out of Touch was perhaps one of the most professional acts I have seen in the past 30 years. Their stage presence, crowd interaction, song selection and performance skills are second to none.
Everyone at the function had great things to say about Out of Touch. We had a crowd that ranged in age from 25 - 75 and everyone had a great time. We were very pleased and would recommend
Out of Touch to anyone who wants a first class group of artists to make their function a success.--Peter F., Floral Park, NY
Everyone keeps raving to us about how great the band was! You guys did such a great job and we cant thank you enough. The perfomance was incredible !!!--Kerri & Jon A., NYCNY
Great job. Everyone was very happy with the music. I would highly recommend you. Your future clients should be able to see that we were having the time of our lives. I am still getting people
telling me that you were great this morning. And I know the staff at the Elks loved it too! Thanks again.--Dyanne C., Torrington, CT
You guys were awesome!!! Everyone is STILL talking about how great you were! We will definitely be in touch for the next big party....--Lauren G. & Simon S., NYCNY
Having never heard Out of Touch before I was a little nervous about how they would sound. As soon as they began the first song I knew we were in for a great night! The music selection was
perfect and the talent top notch. Jim is very accommodating and professional. I highly recommend the band and will definitely be using them again! We got RAVE reviews from everyone about
your band! From what I have heard from the folks who were there, they are waiting for next year and will bring friends. Thanks for helping us be successful this year! -- Laura M, Bethel, CT
Thank you so much for your wonderful entertainment at our wedding on Saturday night. We had a wonderful time and you and your band got wonderful praise. I will highly recommend you to
anybody who is looking for an excellent night's entertainment! Again, many thanks on a job well done!--Patrick & Regina R., Yonkers, NY
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, NYRR 5k Race Against Prostate Cancer, Central Park, NY
Out Of Touch was great! They met all my concerns and suggested music for our dances. They played the crowd and everyone loved them. They even played the songs I requested as soon as I
requested them. They even let my Wife's brother in law sing a couple of songs with them. Even at the end they offered to help bring out the gifts to the car. Out Of Touch is a class act all the way. I
would recommend them to every one.--Peter B., Milford, CT
Out of Touch was the talk of our wedding!!! They went 'over the line' to keep everyone on the floor!!! My thanks to you guys!!! I was truly impressed! If anyone in the tri-state area needs to have the
best of the best..please remember "OUT OF TOUCH"!!!!--Anne & William S., Monroe, CT
We couldn't be happier with Out of Touch's performance at our corporate event. They made this year the best party we have had in a very long time. They were on time, took requests, were very
polite and most importantly, they were amazing performers. Thanks again!--Nicki K., Oceanside, NY
Jim & Darren played a multitude of Hall & Oates songs at a party for my 40th birthday, and it was sensational. Their musical chops and singing was phenomenal, and when the party wanted more
they gave it to them! Once it was apparent that the dancing wouldn't stop, Jim asked me if I wanted to transition into a general 80s dance mode since many of the remaining H&O catalog would slow
it down, and I told him that was a brilliant idea. Next thing I know, the whole room is bouncing up and down and dancing up a storm. I would hire this band again IN A SECOND. Kudos to making a
special night in my life even more incredible.--Stephen P., NYC NY
We have had 4 private parties with live entertainment, and by far The Out Of Touch Band was the best. To Out Of Touch, thank you for being in touch. If you are looking for great vocals, rock & sax,
this is the fabulous five for you. A special thanks to the guys for accommodating our every wish with a smile, soul and the best of tunes.--Madeline & John M., Vernon, CT
We thank you and very much appreciate you playing for us over the weekend. All of us were happy with the night despite the rain and bad weather. Everyone enjoyed the music and thank you for
coming out in such terrible condition. --Sam D., Madison, CT
Any sizable function that I may have to put on in the future these guys are hired. They can read the crowd and respond appropriately. They are also true pros, they've been there, done that, and it
shows.--Kaj W., Norwich, CT
Thank YOU, Jim! We had a blast. You guys were terrific, and I hope so much that we can enjoy you again sometime! --Susie L., Bedford, NY
I was second guessing myself when I hired musicians from the Internet but decided to go for it. I am so glad I did! Jim and Darren were great! They played from "Fly Me to the Moon" to "Free Bird"
and the guests loved it. We had such a good time and are very thankful for their professionalism and talent. Great Job Guys! I would hire them again without a doubt.-- Debra L., Pearl River, NY
Absolutely wonderful!!! Thank you guys!! The party was awesome!!! The music was perfect and everyone loved it. Thank you again!-- Becky P., Westerly, RI
Thank you so much! We had a blast! Everyone loved you guys. We loved dancing and appreciate how much fun you made it. People were raving about you and we want to have another party with
you again soon. It was a true pleasure meeting you!--Logan B., Milford, CT
Out of Touch was awesome. They entertained 75 twenty year olds for 3 hours straight. The dance floor was on fire and the party was epic. The majority of the credit goes to Out Of Touch for their
great performance. I would recommend Out Of Touch to anyone that is looking to have a great time. Thanks to the band for a great night!--Corbin W., Pound Ridge, NY
Jim, THANK YOU so much for performing yesterday for the NYRR/WABC Father's Day Fight Against Prostate Cancer 5K Race in Central Park. It was such a pleasure working with you and the entire
band. I received (and am still receiving) so many compliments on your performance! I look forward to working with you again in the future. Give my best to all of Out of Touch! --Linsey S., Korff
Enterprises, NYC NY
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
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
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 their 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
