"Everyone raved about the band!"

"We had Reverend Barry & Funktastic Soul featuring the Hellacious Horns play a 70's-Themed Party & Fundraiser for our community and it was a huge success! Our members danced all night and everyone had a great time. I received numerous emails after the event and everyone raved about the band! They played two long high-energy dance sets and kept the crowd on the dance floor all night long. I would highly recommend Reverend Barry & Funktastic Soul featuring the Hellacious Horns for anyone who wants to book a high-energy dance band for their private event. Your members will love it!" ~ Bill Hopper, Riverwood Golf Club, Port Charlotte, FL

"Best entertainment we ever had"

"We had Reverend Barry & Funktastic Soul featuring the Hellacious Horns play at our 2014 company Christmas party, and it proved to be a great decision. Our employees danced all night and had a great time! The following Monday, the entire office was abuzz with talk about how much everyone enjoyed the band. I heard over and over from folks that this was the best entertainment we had ever had for our holiday party. Barry was very professional and easy to work with, even going so far as accommodating requests from a few of our employees to play pre-recorded traditional Latin music during the band's break. I would highly recommend Reverend Barry & Funktastic Soul featuring the Hellacious Horns for anyone who wants to book a high-energy dance band for their private event. You won't be disappointed!" ~ Cheryl Duley, Marketing & Event Manager, Universal Insurance Company, Sarasota FL

" Southwest Florida’s premier party band "

"Reverend Barry and Funktastic Soul featuring the Hellacious Horns were the featured band at the finish party of the Sarasota Music Half Marathon. The band was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. They raised the post-race energy as athletes danced, not easy after running 13.1 miles. Barry, Shantel and the entire band are consummate professionals. They played for nearly four hours and were as strong at the end as they were at the beginning. We couldn’t be more pleased. If you’re looking for a high energy professional band this is your group. I’d highly recommend Reverend Barry to anyone looking for Southwest Florida’s premier party band ." ~ John Korff, Sarasota Music Half Marathon
