The R Factor performed for our wedding, and they did an AMAZING job. I am the third person in my family to get married, and every one of us has had the R Factor perform, because live music is really important to us. All of our wedding guests raved about this band, and it's still all we can talk about. We asked Emil to learn a couple "special" songs for us, and they did a spectacular job. I provided only a few words of instruction, and they totally delivered. R Factor worked really well with our venue and other vendors and I did not need to worry about any logistics or set-up.

If you want a live band and a great variety of music, there simply isn't a better option than R Factor. Everyone I talked to said that the band was hands down what made our wedding the best they had ever been to. The dance floor was full for the entire four hours they played. They learned two songs that we wanted to include in our playlist and they did them beautifully - including our first dance. The mix between professionalism and incredibly fun was PERFECT and exactly what I wanted for our wedding day.

We used the R Factor for our wedding and could not have been happier with them! Everyone was on the dance floor all night long and we got so many complements after the wedding. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone!

Marsh Edelstein
Marsh Edelstein
Manager

An illustrious, boisterous career that spans many decades and countless genres of rock, comedy and entertainment!

From booking the earliest rock ‘n’ roll shows in the Twin Cities and at the State Fair Teen Center to managing musicians from Prince’s Revolution, plus an army of rockers, metal heads and jazzers, and booking renowned comedians like Bill Cosby, Don Rickles, Jay Leno, Alex Cole, Scott Hansen, hypnotists, jugglers and others (See Select Client List), Marsh Edelstein might be the hardest working man in Minnesota Show Biz! Today Marsh books over 218 bands and many other acts.

“Marsh (Edelstein) has more connections than MySpace! He knows more major record execs than Simon Cowell and Eliot Spitzer combined” says former business partner, Steven Greenberg, who penned “Funkytown” and worked with Marsh at Marsh Productions in the ‘70s, as part of Flight Records, which recorded Fairchild, Cain, Dame and others, along with Reid McLean, another Flight Records exec and Marsh Production’s General Manager for nine years. “He’s a legendary figure not just here but in the business on both coasts for managing people like Dez Dickerson while Dez was still playing in Prince’s first Revolution band, or his affiliation with Grand Casino as Corporate Director where he booked people like Willie Nelson, Aretha Franklin, Chuck Berry, Natalie Cole and the Beach Boys”
