An Amazing Lifetime Memory!
I wanted to take this opportunity to not only write a review praising our extreme satisfaction with The Ray Howard Band at our recent event; but also to share our experience to assist others like us, who are in process of making such an important selection for their next special event.
We had a huge celebration party to plan and wanted to ensure the event was executed to excellence. We decided right away to use a live band and not a DJ because of the extra special entertainment value it would bring knowing that this would mean extra costs. I must say that the extra costs over a standard DJ were more than worth it to us because bottom line, you are making lifetime memories not just having a party. When looking into our choices, it quickly became clear that there were a ton of options making the task seem a bit overwhelming. But after searching and reviewing countless band demo’s online and through recommendations, to our surprise the choices actually began to narrow rather quickly. We found that a ton of demo’s were not of the actual live performances and instead re-touched studio recordings.
It was extremely important that we could hear live performances of the bands to truly get a feel of the genuine sound they would deliver. The next criteria was the diversity of singers and instrumentation in the band. We wanted a band that had both strong male and female lead vocalist that could cover a variety of songs much like the original artist recordings. Lastly, we needed professionalism both with the business handling and actual performance execution.
The Ray Howard Band delivered to perfection on all these key criteria. The entire band sounded amazing. It was like having our own personal concert with the original artist performing just for you. Their execution down to choreography, crowd involvement, energy and costuming was first class all the way. Lastly, the band manager and band owners were an absolute dream to work with from start to finish and handled every detail with upmost professionalism. We had a ton of small details and custom elements in our party timeline, not only did they execute them all to perfection but made the coordination so simple. I have absolutely not affiliation with this band and never heard of them before our search but can’t recommend they highly enough. They took our already fantastic party and turned it into an amazing lifetime memory.
Thank you So much Ray Howard Band and Management!!!

It was so great to see the CWPB Team at the Ray Howard Band Concert tonight.
The band whipped CWPB into a frenzy, and there was non-stop dancing for over 2 hours. Nobody wanted to leave!!!

I just want to take this opportunity to thank all the Ray Howard Band members for the incredible performance on July 3rd here in Olde Town Conyers. Our community absolutely loved you guys. The band members were so cordial and kind to all of the staff that evening. You made it easy to host such an amazing group of performers.
Thank you again and I hope we can see you for an event in the near future.

Thank you for bringing the sounds of Earth, Wind, and Fire to Myrtle Beach! You and your fellow musicians are AWESOME!!! You brought back some great memories, from when I'd seen them perform in the D.C. and Maryland area back in the 70s, 80s, and the 90s! I look forward to seeing you again in the vicinity! Peace and blessings!!!

The Ray Howard Band's Earth, Wind & Fire Experience is not to be missed. The singers, the band, the performance, everything was stellar! It was the most fun I've had in a long time. I can't wait to "groove tonight" again with them.

The Ray Howard Band was absolutely dynamic!! They really got the party started at my wedding reception! Their melodic sounds and dance moves were on point! Perfect for my guests that simply wanted to enjoy a great show as well as those who wanted to get up and dance the night away!! Book this band!!! You’ll be glad you did!

The Ray Howard Band is THE BEST wedding reception band I have ever heard & worth every penny! They were sooo much fun! Months later, guests are still talking about what a blast they had dancing the night away! They helped make our daughter have the wedding of her dreams! Thanks, Ray, BJ, & the rest

Once again we were delighted to have the Ray Howard Band entertain at the 8th Annual Wilson Pickett Music and Arts Festival in Prattville, Alabama - the hometown of the legendary R&B superstar, Wilson Pickett!

Peachtree Corners does a terrific job of booking talent for the Town Green, but musical pickings for us Olde School Soul/R&B lovers are rare. As a result, for the past couple of months my wife Karen & I have been keeping an eye on our kitchen calendar's circled date for July 29. We hadn't heard Mr. Ray's band, but we assumed that any band that dared to play EWF's challenging repertoire must be a terrific bunch of singers and players.
What's more, due to pandemic concerns, despite being avid live music lovers - I'm also a bandleader, albeit of a considerably less ambitious musical outfit - we have not attended any shows for two and a half long years. So, our expectations and our spirits were high. Long story short? We were primed and ready to groove.
We weren't disappointed! On the contrary, Mr. Ray's band owned us from the top of the set. Needless to say, he's leading a superb, impressive, super-tight ensemble whose talents seamlessly complement each other.
Among other delights, I wasn't expecting Sun Goddess which I confess I haven't heard in 40 years. But I was pleased to discover that the melody - and even the song's title - was still floating around the back of my almost 70 year-0ld memory.
The band truly is a "keeper of the EWF flame!!! Anyway, please feel free to express to Mr. Ray and his inspired musical family our gratitude for making our "coming out of COVID" night a party and a half!
