"Sound Connection is a phenomenal band!" 
Colin Cowie, Celebrity Event Planner (Oprah Winfrey's personal party planner),TV Personality

"Sound Connection is a breath of fresh air … They are hip, edgy and extremely talented. Each individual member of the band is an artist in their own right. I have hired them numerous times for my clients' events knowing that each guest as well as the host will feel as if they are not only watching but participating in entertainment that is very special."
David Tutera, Celebrity Event Planner, TV Host of "The Party Planner"

"I consider Andy Kushner to be THE Entertainer of our profession... His professionalism, creativity, and integrity place him in that rare category of luminaries that others use to benchmark their careers... "

"Sound Connection is so much more than a band. They bring the art of playing music to a whole new dimension. They engage and interact with the audience in a way that I have never witnessed from any other musical group. (When) clients ask me for references I am honored to suggest Sound Connection because I know that they will always take the event to the next level."
Sean DeFreitas, Award-winning Event Designer & Producer, Designs by Sean

"Sound Connection is awesome! Not only were you flexible, accommodating, creative and professional in pre-production, but also you gave us all and more than we asked for. From the small ensemble that accompanied our awards program to the full band entertaining during the dance party, the quality of music was superb. And, using your ensemble in two ways makes for a very cost effective option. In addition, your in-ear monitors and creative flexibility allowed for us to reveal the band in interesting ways and gave us a great amount of artistic license. Thank you again for all your help. We look forward to doing it again soon!"
Andrea Michaels, President, Extraordinary Events

“Andy Kushner was the Entertainment Producer for the 2006 Event Solutions Spotlight Awards Gala in Denver, CO…Kushner coordinated with the team to meet the challenges of providing entertainment for the entire evening, which was held in two separate venues. His entertainment production seamlessly connected more than one dozen set changes, a variety of finalist and honoree presentation techniques, videos and an elegant promenade from the Opera House to the Grand Ballroom for the formal dinner and after-party. Kushner provided a wide variety of entertainment perfect for every moment…He met many challenges, exceeded our expectations and gave all the guests at the awards event an exceptional experience they will always remember.”
Carolyn Baragona, Vice President/Owner, Event Solutions

"Andy, I want to personally thank you and the rest of Sound Connection for the tremendous performances your group gave for Coca Cola at the Winter Olympics. In my 14 years of producing corporate events, Sound Connection gave the most dynamic, energetic, and passionate performances I've ever experienced. The band raised the level of enthusiasm and enjoyment of the high-profile audience to new heights. I'd sum it up by saying your performers made the event. Coca Cola has received accolades weeks after the events. Given the prestige of the Olympics, this is a tremendous accomplishment that the entire group can be proud of."
Martin Dempsey, Production Director, CrossMedia

Hope you choose them again next time!'"
Judy Bond, Special Events Manager, Lexmark International

"I wanted to take a moment and thank you and everyone in Sound Connection for your terrific support of Lexmark's Achievers Club meeting held in Florida . Recent Lexmark survey results confirm that you and the band had a great impact on all the attending Achievers. Writing original song lyrics to their business vision was a huge success. You motivated everyone so early each and every morning. Overcoming an 80% male attendance at the dinner dance would have been a difficult task, however you and Sound Connection made it look easy, witnessed by the fact that the majority of the guests were still dancing when the lights were literally shut off!"
