Sweet Reminder has been performing for many years for our veterans of Honor Flight Chicago as an Andrews Sisters Tribute act, as well as 50's and 60's performances. They sure know how to "entertain the troops" and have been asked back every year.

Wow! Nick made our party. He took my parents right back to 40 years ago, playing their classic wedding jams. This anniversary was a big one and we definitely picked the perfect musician. He nailed our set list, took requests, and was so sincere about wanting everyone to be jamming out having a great time. Seriously impressive voice and skills...not to mention he braved the late night cold weather since our party was outdoors. Would recommend and hire again! Thanks Nick!!

Jerry performed for us at my moms 75th birthday party and did not disappoint. We are so glad that we hired him. My Mom and all the guests had a great time. My text messages and Facebook have been blowing up with compliments stating how much fun they had and how great the music was.
Love the music, love the clothes, love the impersonations, love his personality.
If we ever need an entertainer again, Jerry is our man. Thank you. I took more videos instead of pictures.
