The Usual Suspects performed for our annual Founder's Day event commemorating the establishment of the Club. This is a multi-floor event that features a different theme on each floor. As the event developed, the buzz was about the "Big Band on the 3rd floor" and once word got around, the Club members and their guests all made their way up there to listen.The guests were talking about the band for days. The Usual Suspects was everything that we wanted for this event - professional, elegant, versatile and polished. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for this type of music and we look forward to having them perform here again.

On behalf of the Wills Memorial Hospital Foundation, I wanted to take the opportunity to let you know how much we and our guests enjoyed The Usual Suspects at the hospital benefit, "From the Heart," on February 2. Many are still talking about what a wonderful evening it was. This event was a tremendous success due in large part to the band's wonderful talent and performance. The band really "connected" with our audience and got the 80+ crowd on the dance floor immediately.
We thought the set selections were "just what the doctor ordered" for the Wills Memorial Hospital's supporters and patrons who were ages 25 to 90. Craig's serenade of several of the Washington-Wilkes "Grand Dames" was a highlight of the evening. All we have heard is that this event needs to be held annually and "The Usual Suspects" needs to be the entertainment!
We hope the band will be able to perform at our event next year. Again, thank you and "The Usual Suspects" for a magnificent performance.

On behalf of the Gala Committee and Board of Directors of Childspring International, I want to convey my appreciation for the wonderful music that The Usual Suspects provided during the Inaugural Gala of Childspring International . . . at the Georgia Aquarium. We continue to hear our friends talk about how wonderful it was to have a band of your caliber. Everybody got connected with the music played by the band.
Please convey to the entire band our most sincere thanks for their wonderful performance. We have already talked with the Georgia Aquarium about next year's event . . . We certainly hope that the Usual Suspects will be willing to perform at our event next year. . .
Again, thank you so much for a magnificent performance.

Just wanted to tell you all what an amazing job you did last night at the Georgia Tech swing dance! I have been dancing there for about five years now and I have to say you are the best band I've heard so far! Not only do I love swing dancing, but I am also a musician myself...coming from a dancer and pianist I have to give y'all a big thumbs up! The music was great and so easy to dance to, but even just sitting there listening was so nice - I really enjoyed the music. I love your arrangements and the vocals were by far the best to ever perform at the Tech swing dances. I enjoyed having both male and female vocals. That was something I don't ever remember having before and it was a definite plus. We definitely hope you will be back again at Tech soon!
Sincerely,
Amy Mussel
Dear Usual Suspects:
There is camaraderie amongst the members of this band that goes beyond anything I have seen in any other band ...This band glows and grabs the attention of its audience from the very first note to the echo of the last chord. I could have listened to that band all night long!....If you continue with the enthusiasm, your love of each other and the genuine heart-felt joy of playing the music of the Big Bands - The Usual Suspects has the strength and core foundation to make its mark on the music world of not only Atlanta but wherever the band performs.
Usual Suspects ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
