The Reviews Are In...
“My booking agency has over 65 bands and there are very few of our acts that I’ve seen more times than Metro.
This is because I thoroughly enjoy their energy, their song selections and their overall performance. Metro is one of the few bands that can get me off of the bar stool and onto the dance floor. As a booking agent, Metro is always one of the first bands I recommend when our clients ask for an act that is fun and keeps people dancing.
I’ve used Metro on several occasions including large charity events and I can honestly say that each and every event has been a wonderful and enjoyable experience”.
-Michael Twombly, Owner of Music Zirconia Tribute Bands www.musiczirconia.com
