I wanted to be sure to thank you for the spectacular job “Shaded Soul Band” did at our daughter’s Wedding.  This band is
fantastic.  The comments from those in attendance at the Wedding were glowing.  Everyone wanted to know how we found
you, where you were from etc, etc.

A music major myself (Ithaca College), I taught public school music for 20 years.  I am a little fussy, to say the least.   There
was no worry with this band that it would live up to all of our expectations and more so.  A band has to be the most important
part of a successful Wedding reception and “Shaded Soul” has to be one of the very finest bands in New England.  There were
quite a few musicians attending this Wedding.  One of my friends is a pianist and played with Chicago Symphony when she was
12 years old.  She was very impressed with “Shaded Soul”.

“Shaded Soul” performed long, hard and so well.  The dance floor was jammed from the beginning to the end.   We can’t
thank you enough for making this Wedding reception extra special.  We highly recommended “Shaded Soul Band” to anyone!!!

Sincerely,

I just wanted to thank “Shaded Soul Band” for your amazing performance at our Wedding at The
Owenego on May 31st, 2008.  You have certainly gained a larger fan base!  Our friends and family
continue to talk about how much fun they had dancing and watching all of you perform.  We definitely
enjoyed ourselves as well.  The band created an atmosphere and sound that made our Wedding a fun,
lively celebration.  You are all gifted, spirited performers who give it your all.  We truly appreciate
your professionalism, energy and many varied talents.

You are a heck of a “manager” as well.  Booking with you was a pleasant and easy experience.  You
came ultra prepared for providing the ceremony music and diplaying the slideshow presentation.  Your
organization and eye for every detail is amazing!  Although we can’t make it to Block Island this year to
see another great performance, we look forward to seeing you on the Guliford Green this Sunday.  We
will continue to spread the good word about Shaded Soul.

Best wishes and thanks again,
Kristen Russo

Thank you so much for playing on our Wedding day.  As always, you were fabulous!  Having
you as our Wedding band was one of the best & easiest decisions we made.  

Renee, I really appreciated your monthly “touching base” calls you were always there to let me
know that of all the Wedding related things I needed to worry about, the band wasn’t one of
them.  Our guests all raved about our band-they loved you guys!  

You really made our reception fun, special and full of energy, without being too loud or over-
the top… just what we wanted.  

Many, many thanks!!

On behalf of the University of Connecticut Health Center, I would like to thank Shaded Soul for their recent donation
of $1,230.00 from the proceeds of the benefit dance held on April 22, 1994.  Per your request, the proceeds have been
deposited into our Pediatric AIDS Patient Care Fund within the University of Connecticut Health Center.

Ms. Lorraine Wells informed me that your dance was a tremendous success and all who attended had a wonderful
time!!  Bravo to you and your band members for a job well done.  We know how time consuming a community fund
raiser is to plan.  There are so many details and last minute errands.  We thank you for all your time and effort.  Please
know that this donation will enable Dr. James Robinson, Professor of Pediatric and Director of the Pediatric HIV
Program to continue his research efforts to hopefully someday combat this dreaded disease.  Again, on behalf of Dr.
Robinson, the staff of our Pediatric HIV Program and most especially the patients they care for-our heartfelt thanks.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth B. Ray
