"Barbara Reed exudes class."
-- Al Rudis, Long Beach Press Telegram Looking for really special LIVE music for your event? You want it
upbeat and entertaining, and naturally you want it classy, but you want
it to be fun, too. You know you love Jazz, but you still want to dance
to your favorite R&B and Pop classics. You want the music to be
suitable for those quiet, intimate moments and also be able to cut loose
when it's time to Rock.
That's not expecting too much! Barbara Reed and her band stack their
repertoire with song titles from contemporary giants like Bonnie Raitt,
Bill Withers, Joe Cocker and Stevie Wonder, to the crooners of the 40s
and 50s such as Frank Sinatra, and back to an era when swing dancers
stepped to the rhythms of the big bands. You'll hear Blues classics by
B.B. King and Bessie Smith, piano classics from the likes of Fats
Waller, and famous rockers by Elvis . . . played by talented musicians
who respect both the style of the songs and your eardrums, and sung by
Barbara, a passionate singer who maintains the heart of the song by
setting the mood, and drawing you in with touching and
understandable--lyrics.
". . . I heard everything from Bonnie Raitt to Blue Moon . . ."
