From: Mike Irwin Date: Tue, Apr 30, 2019 at 11:58 AM Subject: Re: Another Level To: Andy @ Sam Hill Entertainment Hi Andy - We’re so glad that you asked about the band! We had a perfect weather day, a perfect ceremony, and a perfect reception (many thanks to our “perfect” wedding planner Kate Phillips), and of course we had tons of positive comments about Another Level. They were simply terrific! To be more specific: - they played music for all the generations! - they played requested songs, too - they involved the crowd and even had a couple guests from the crowd on stage, including of course the newly married couple - they played new popular songs really well, too (Bruno Mars, etc.) - and the BEST compliment of all: the dance floor stayed packed, and we do mean absolutely PACKED, all the way until the end of the reception. In summary, we felt like Another Level delivered, AND THEN SOME. We would highly recommend this band to anyone. They were happy, energetic, and complete professionals, including their sound man John. We are so grateful!!! Please share our comments with the band!! We could not have been happier with Another Level!! Gratefully, Mike & Sarah Irwin

Super talented, energetic, and totally professional. They let me sit in on a few songs (I play guitar semi-professionally around the Roanoke area), and that was a blast. They are worth every penny and made it a truly memorable reception. I will book them for the next event I am holding. Jeffrey

I can honestly say it had a great deal to do with Another Level. They were phenomenal!!! I had several people comment afterward how great they were. I’m still getting emails asking who the band was that played at the party. Our company’s biggest music critic even came over to compliment how awesome the music was. Thank you Andy! We loved these guys. Kevin was so kind and friendly. He was super chill, willing to please, and took great care of our group all night long – after the headache of bands we’ve had in the past, this was so refreshing. And I truly appreciate Sam Hill Entertainment. It’s been such a nice change from where we have gone in the past. I would love to book Another Level for 2018. I hope we can get that squared away soon because I’m sure everyone books up pretty quick. Thank you for taking care of us Andy! Stacy Freed Events Coordinator, ChemTreat

Another Level was excellent to work with, very professional, and very responsive to our requests for the play list and more. CCV definitely is experienced with them and the arrangements were easy to accommodate. The band also contacted Mary Cate a few days before again to see if there were any changes. Another Level definitely read our reception crowd and got everyone (all ages) dancing. The play time, breaks, and selections were ideal. We had also asked for a New Orleans-like send off for the new couple led by the saxaphonist drawing the dancing crowd outside- was a perfect ending to an evening that went so fast. The vocal quality and musicianship was great. Could listen to their cover of Etta James all night. And would definitely recommend them to others for future events. Please pass my appreciation on to the band! Diane

Shayne, the lead singer, not only has the voice of a goddess but she is also a sweetheart! She did a great job at reassuring me, the very nervous bride, that all the logistics will workout and she truly delivered.

The junior class was hesitant about changing things up this year and getting a band rather than a DJ, but Another Level certainly changed our minds. They were so talented, personable, and engaging. They performed a wide variety of songs as to include everyone's interests. The band is all everyone has been talking about. They made our prom a huge success and the parents and teachers probably enjoyed them even more than the students. I am certain our school will use them again in the future. I cannot give them enough praise. They were amazing. Thank you for everything. Colby Kirkpatrick

The reception was on a farm outside of Charlottesville. They were professional and there to entertain all ages. At the end of the mother-son dance "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," just about the entire guest list ran to the floor and danced until the end of the night. Kevin and the band learned Timberlake's "Suit and Tie," for the party and then surprised us with "Blurred Lines." The band continued to play the best of Motown, R&B, and the latest hits. To top if off, the band engaged the crowd even more when they let bridal party members on the stage to sing and dance including the Father of the Bride singing "Party in the USA." Everyone their raved about the band all evening. The helped make our daughter's wedding "Magical." Marty Cook Ruther Glen, VA

They were great to work with for both me and the staff of the club. They were very talented without having big egos. Everyone RAVED about the band and how great they were. We have already recommended them to other people! Also, they were great about having our son, David, play drums during a couple of the songs! They also had the little girls at the reception come up and "join" the band. They had a blast! I would give them a 10 out of 10! Sheila Galanie

From: Galanie, James W Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 4:22 PM To: Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: review for "Another Level" on your website Kevin and the Another Level band were absolutely fantastic for our daughter's wedding reception. They were ready to go, looking sharp and playing great music as our 219 guests arrived. As this was pre-dinner music, they were instantly accommodating to the meal and pulled back the sound a little bit before dinner. The band learned a new song to start the night for my daughter and her husband's first dance. After an iPod number for the groom to dance with his mom, they launched into "Old Time Rock and Roll" for me to dance with the bride. From that point forward, the dance floor was packed for the next 2.5 hours, except for a short break during the cake cutting and bouquet toss. Highlights: getting the young kids up in front with the band and leading waves to the music, my son (a drummer) sitting in for "Play that Funky Music, White Boy" to drum for his sister, great attitudes, high energy music, a couple of good slow songs, on time and ready to go, good sound, letting us use the PA for prayer and toasts, and working with my daughter and wife on the playlist and reception timeline. Even the Reception Manager of the Base Club commented how great a band they were to work with. Bottom line - if you want a top notch band that does the best of Motown, classic rock, and R&B that will get the crowd out of their seats and moving to the music, they were the best! I have nothing but the highest praise for their musical talent, energy, positive attitude, and their willingness to make it a legendary night for the new couple, my family, my friends, and my guests. Jim Galanie

Kevin and I touched base once or twice last week and they were completely set up as the guest arrived. Their music skills of Another Level both instrumental and vocal were amazing and so appreciated by everyone there--even the non-dancers! Not only this, they were super professional and fun to converse with as well. They were also very accommodating with our dinner taking a bit longer to complete than we anticipated. Thanks so much for all your help as well as that of your staff. I will check in with you if we can figure out some event later this year as well. Thanks ever so much and Happy New Year! Jerry Hinn

They made a strong connection with some of our guests by letting them play the tambourine and sing during certain times of the evening. Carrie and I especially enjoyed the time when they got us on stage to lead the reception in a dance. Overall, they were a great band, who put on a phenomenal performance for our wedding reception.

We were especially excited because when he had spoken with Kevin before the wedding, he told us that they did not know "The way you make me feel" by Michael Jackson (our first song) but when it was time for us to do our dance, they surprised us and played it. The band knew a ton of songs and it was a great mix of current and older music. I know at least one person took their card and was already planning on when they could book them. Thanks so much!!!

I hope this finds you well since we were last in touch. Though this is rather random, I just heard a song on the radio that flashed me back to our wedding reception and reminded me of our great experience with Another Level (and that I never provided feedback during the crazy time after our wedding!). So, I just felt compelled to drop you a very belated, quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed Another Level. Their performance was simply fantastic and they had our guests out on the dance floor all night long. We were especially pleased with what a great job they did with our first dance song and songs for our parent dances. We also appreciated their flexibility in coming up with a solution to feed music into the room where our dinner took place, as it was a different room from where the band set up. Again, I know this is long overdue, but I didn't want to completely miss the opportunity to share some praises. I've been searching through my records for Kevin's mailing address to send him a similar hand-written note, but haven't come across it yet. Might you have it on hand?

Everything from the wedding to the reception was spectacular. Jamie and I both feel that it was an absolutely perfect day and we wouldn't have changed a thing. The BAND.... was even more amazing than when I had seen them at the Durham, NC wedding. Their female singer is fantastic and has such a vibrant personality. And Kevin, as expected, was wonderful. He is so much fun and so talented, both with his music and at reading a crowd. Even before the wedding I had a feeling that we could expect that from him which is why I didn't feel the need to request certain songs from the playlist. There really was never a dull moment. My family knows how to party and Kevin picked up on that pretty quickly! Getting Another Level for the wedding was probably one of the best decisions I made for our big day! I have a feeling that Another Level will be requested for many parties from our crowd in the future. So many people came up to me and asked where we found them! We had a blast!

We cannot thank you enough for setting this up for us. We had over 200 people at our wedding and everyone there said they were the best band they have ever heard! We have had 3 guests call for your number to have Another Level play at their wedding!! We wish you the best. Thank you again for your help. We will send you pictures of the band as soon as we get them back from the photographer. Tori Baldwin

Another Level was a great choice as the reception band. Our party started with them knocking the first dance song out of the park, and continued almost non-stop after that. They kept a very high energy level all night and were a lot of fun, which was exactly what we were looking for. Please feel free to contact me at any time in the future about either band and our experience. Michael

Everyone loved them and they were voted best band out of all the parties. Not only were they awesome performers and had a great setlist, but they were so personable and made the entire party dance. I have already told them that they will be playing for my wedding-- and I don't even have a boyfriend. People are still calling asking for their name and how to get in touch with them. Thank YOU for being so helpful and easy to work with. I'll be keeping in touch with you for further help! Thank you! Janie

I will continue to recommend them for any occassion that comes around that inquires about services. They kept the guests entertained and excited.

Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:42:39 -0400 From: Sarah Taliaferro To: Andrew Juge @ Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: Re: Another Level feedback Hi Andrew, Thanks for touching base. Another Level was wonderful. Their online playlist only represents about 1/4 of the material that they're familiar with. My guests and I built a playlist of items we would like to hear at the reception and they were more than capable. A friend built a 'break' playlist on his ipod and Kevin Pryor simply plugged it in when they needed a break and their sound system worked seamlessly. The genre was exactly what my reception guests were looking for. The band had dancers of all ages up on the floor. Another Level was extremely accommodating with space restrictions, noise levels, guests who were musicians and wanted to play a few sets with the band, etc. I would gladly book the band again, and recommend them to all of my friends. Sam Hill Entertainment has also been extremely helpful. The follow-up and reminders worked great during the crazy wedding planning. The selection process on the website is very easy to navigate, the binder of bands sent to my house with the cd sampler, potential bands and their playlists helped us finalize our decision to select Another Level. I will also recommend Sam Hill Entertainment to all my friends. Thanks again, it was my pleasure. Sarah Taliaferro

Everyone raved about the band and how much energy they had. The lead singer was one of the best voices I have heard. We will certainly forward their name to anyone who asks us about a band. We have cards that we got from them at the wedding and will give them out to anyone who inquires. Please tell them that everyone loved them and thank them for making our reception a special event. Take Care, Meridith and Randy
