October 2010 We have used Zipper twice: at my husband's 40th BD party, all was set up and then it began to rain. Zipper proved their good humor and professionalism by quickly accomodating to the lousy conditions and providing the fantastic music that kept our guests happy, upbeat and entertained. We could not have had as good a time (a really memorable party at the end) without Zipper. Because they were so wonderful and talented we were delighted to have them play for us at our Halloween party. So many guests came up to me to compliment the band and the music. We will use them at our parties in the future! Highest recomendation without reservation -- Book them!!

October 2010 Wonderful entertainers. Managed to get people at all ages and from at least 5 different countries to get up and dance. We were all dissapointed that it had to end.

September 2010 Zipper, was absolutely fantastic to work with! Susan was so friendly and easy to communicate with. Her responses were always timely and professional. They even learned songs not on their set list for both our first dance and father/daughter dance! They were high energy and kept everyone on their feet the entire night! We loved them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for wedding/party entertainment. Great Band!

September 2010 Thanks to Zipper for coming out to play. You guys sounded great! We'll definitely keep you in mind for our next
event.
- Laura, Ladysmith, Virginia
September 2010 Thank you all for making our anniversary party such a success. Each of us had such a wonderful time, due to the choice of music and the style of interpretation. The granddaughters thought you were all “pretty cool”. Not sure, but I assume that this is a complement from teenagers! Dick and I were so thrilled by Michael’s rendition of “Love is a Voyage”. Words cannot describe the thrill we felt while it was performed. Our children recognized the piece and they surrounded us with their spouses and our grandchildren. What precious memories will be shared and talked about by future generations of those moments. I will not hesitate to pass along to friends and relatives your telephone number and band name. Thanks again for a wonderful time.

June 2010 Susan Cummins was our point of contact for the band. She was professional and accomodating. The band showed up at our venue early, set up and were playing appropriate music as our guests arrived. They were talented,entertaining, and appropriate for our retirement party that included kids to old folks. They set the gregarious mood we wanted. I had never booked a band before and they were easy to work with and made our retirement party memorible. I would gladly hire them again.

June 2010 Zipper is a class act from beginning to finish.Pre-event coordination was thorough and the band's manager (Susan) was responsive and a pleasure to work with.The band arrived early & started on time.They are talented musicians, have a great sound/range which provided the perfect punctuation to our party.They accommodated all song requests (and even guest singers).The event was on a sunny hot summer day & even though they were playing outside (in the direct heat), they didn't complain once (we eventually got a tent for shade).Everyone enjoyed their performance and I would recommend them for anyone looking for quality performers to enhance their celebration!
- Chris and Kristin, Manassas, Virginia
May 2010 Michael and Susan were absolutely AMAZING from the beginning to the end! Michael even went as far as to learn a song for me to walk down the aisle to...which was breathtaking! Can't wait to see Michael perform again at a local venue in the near
future.

May 2010 Michael Seven performed our wedding song for our 25th anniversary. He had to learn the song and performed it very well. He made the day special and we would recommend him to anyone who needs a performer.
- Louis, Baltimore, Maryland
January 2010 Michael was outstanding! This last-minute "gig" was very unusual. It called for the performer to pose as a street musician & perform to an unsuspecting girlfriend passing by, who would then be proposed to on the spot. Michael and his manager Susan were fantastic. They understood the spirit of romance that the gig called for and were very accomodating in carrying out the request. As for Michael's talent, I was so happy that he could learn a new song on only one day's notice and perform it so beautifully and so romantically. He is clearly extremely talented. Michael is a great musician & a great person too. I give him my highest recommendation!
- Dan and Larissa, Annapolis, Maryland
May 2009 Personable, enthusiastic and very entertaining group. They made us feel that they were honored to be performing for us. Highly energetic and very accommodating.
- Katie and Frank, Herndon, Virginia
November 09 Our overall experience with ZIPPER playing at our wedding was amazing! Constant communication prior to the event all the way until they completed their performance for the night. They were energetic and got all of us out on the dance floor for 4 hours straight (minus their scheduled breaks). We'd definitely use them again for another event. -
Phil and Jessica, Upper Marlboro, Maryland
Please thank the rest of the band for me, you all were awesome! I would like to write a testimonial for your website, if that is okay. We were extremely pleased with everything, from the communication leading up to our wedding and throughout your performance all night. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to perform at our wedding. -
Phil and Jessica, Upper Marlboro, Maryland
We had the very Best Time and everyone there had a blast. You all did a fabulous Job and we will use your talent again. We received alot of phone calls already of where we found you, and have kept your # for the future. I have never seen so many people on a dance floor at a wedding reception, even the oldies where out there. Even those that did not drink where into the music. GREAT JOB.

Tony and Janice, Upper Marlboro, Maryland
October 2009 We met with the band before hand to go over all of our special request and our style of music. Zipper was great with putting together a song list that matched our style and the crowd never stopped dancing. I would definitely hire them again. -
David and Kelly, Washington, D.C.
September 09 My parents gave me a party for graduating college and I requested a live band for entertainment. Well let me tell you Zipper was just sensational and wonderful to work with. Susan was just lovely,such a positive person. She kept in touch with me from the time of booking to the day of the party. I met the guys the night of my party and they were just great. They were very personable and friendly. Every request I or my family had they followed through all the way. My friends and family just loved them. What an awesome band and what great down to earth people. I just can't say enough great things about them! Thanks a lot Zipper, you all just Rocked!!!! -
Jessica, North Point-Edgemere, Maryland
September 09 This was the second year that Zipper came and played at our block party. They have a really fun repertoire of songs that get all the neighbors out in the street for a fantastic party. We really appreciate Zipper's willingness to be flexible with our schedule and budget, and their effort to go above and beyond making announcements and taking requests. We've gotten so many comments from our party-goers about how much they enjoy Zipper and how the party just wouldn't be nearly as fun without them. We're already looking forward to having them back again next year. -
Jen and Jason, Hyattsville, MD
August 09 We, of course, enjoyed having Zipper play at the party again. -
David, Reston, VA.
August 09 Just a great night overall. Communication was a breeze. They accommodated our late request for a song that was not on their current setlist. Played great acoustic music for the ceremony, kept the place buzzing during appetizers with mainly instrumental music, and then tore the place down during the actual reception. They got rave reviews from everyone I talked to and the dancing was constant even though we lost the breeze and it got pretty humid and hot later. They also honored the original contract even though the distance they had to travel was almost twice as far as what Gigmasters had stated when we booked them. Total professionals, highly recommended. -
Severn & Beth, Foxburg, PA.
August 09 They did an amazing job and were very accommodating. The music was great and everyone of all ages enjoy them! -

June 09 Fantastic band! Our group loved them. Great mix of tunes. We will hire Zipper again. -
Chris, Boonesboro, MD.
June 09 Zipper were absolutely fantastic every step of the way. They were accommodating during the planning process and masterful in their execution. The band were exceptionally friendly, and their interaction with the crowd was very engaging. They kept the dance floor full for the entire event, and EVERYONE commented on how good they were. I am absolutely pleased with their performance and would recommend them without reservation to anyone!
You made me look like a rock star because everyone said you all are the best band they have ever seen at a wedding. -
Rob and Eileen, Virginia Tech, VA.
June 09 Zipper is a 10+!!! We hired them to play for my 50th B-Day party in my backyard and from the moment we booked our gig until the moment they said goodbye, it was a great experience. They showed up early, played great music and even had my kids play a song with the band! All of my friends asked me for their contact info. I want to have another party just so I can have them come back! If you're thinking about hiring a classic rock cover band, hire Zipper!!! They ROCK! -

May 09 Dear Susan, Michael, Dave, Barry, Jeff, and the keyboard Man;
You guys are amazing! We were so thrilled to have you perform at our daughter's wedding, and we can't thank you enough! It's hard to believe that it was one month ago.
The entire evening was wonderful, thanks to you. From Michael's set during cocktails, to the recorded music through dinner, and then your performance live and in person....AWESOME and AMAZING!
We really appreciate all of you! The day was so special for us, and you helped make it that way. Such a professional band, that just made it all happen...who knew you had that lighting?, and that you could also carry the sound out to the patio during dinner, so perfectly...
We were so impressed with the band, and all of our guests were too! We loved the wedding, but EVERYONE at the wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever been too...That must be thanks to you guys!
We are a family who prides themselves on good times...music, food, atmosphere, thanks for all that you did that night to make it happen! From your biggest fans in
Canada,
Fondly,
Val and Jay Ayerst
May 09 Zipper was great. They played on our hockey rink as over 60 kids skated around. They entertained over 180 adults and kids. The music was excellent and fun. Zipper provided us with ample information prior to the event to know what they required. They showed up on time and set up quickly. The entire music event was flawless. I highly recommend this band due to their professionalism and great sound. They are fun to listen to and great to work with.

April 09 You guys were terrific, sounded great and really set a great mood. We could not have been happier. -

November 08 PI BETA PHI The band really worked with us to make the event run smoothly. They were very energetic and really worked the crowd....Everyone had a great time and loved the music. I will definitely recommend you to other soroities and to our future social chair. I would recommend them for any event! -Hillary W, Sorority Function, Richmond, VA 
October 08 HAPPY 32 BIRTHDAY I hired Zipper for my birthday party and they were amazing! Everybody agreed that the band rocked!!! They were on time, extremely professional, and they played exactly the right songs to get everyone to dance. I will definitely hire them again :) - Ashley B, Falls Church, VA
October 08 - ZIPPER was GREAT! It rained on my outdoor party, but they squished in a smallish indoor space, and the party went on. They were lively and fun. The music was just what I expected from the description on Gigmasters. Highly recommend them - and we'll probably have them again for future parties. -
SEPTEMBER 08 - Everyone loved the band so much and you guys were such a pleasure to work with.....we couldn't have been more happy with ZIPPER. - Divya and Corey Wedding, Stafford, VA
AUGUST 08 ZIPPER put on a fantastic performance for the Lake Thoreau Boat Party! The band played great, upbeat music that had the crowd dancing and swaying in the middle of the lake! It is not easy to please a diverse crowd of several hundred persons ranging in age from 8 to 80, but ZIPPER did so! It was a great event that built a sense of community among neighbors, with ZIPPER providing the musical backdrop that put everyone in a good mood. - David P., Reston, VA
AUGUST 08 ZIPPER played at our first annual block party. Thanks to the band everyone on the block can’t wait to party with them again next year. A perfect band for family and friends of all ages; Zipper played all the songs we wanted to hear. Every member of the band was 100% professional from the time we booked them until the time they departed. And if the music wasn’t enough, the band manager came with a camera and filled in as the block party photographer! We can’t say enough how satisfied we were! -
