We just wanted to say how much we really enjoyed your show. As usual, the "baby boomers" were on the dance floor singing, dancing & reminiscing. When I see the "boomers" bopping on the dance floor or slow dancing to the old love songs like they did when they were young, I almost feel as if they will all suddenly turn into teenagers right there on the dance floor, just like that old Twilight Zone episode (Kick the Can) where all the elderly folks in the nursing home go out to play "kick the can" and they suddenly all become children again.
Your
vocals sounded great (hats off to Derek, Kristen & Jillian for their
excellent lead vocals) and the friendliness and warmth that Desire projected to
the crowd made it obvious that you all really enjoyed entertaining and
interacting with your fans.
I
hope Desire continues to be around for a long time giving their fans the "back
in time" experience of a musical period we all do not want to forget.
Wishing You All Continued Success!
Linda & Phil B

In one word, "AWESOME!" The entire group was friendly, professional and worked the crowd to perfection. If you are looking for an oldies group, this is the band for you.

DESIRE was awesome! They turned a 60th Birthday party into a bash. Desire is a such a talented group and I am shocked on how reasonable there rate is compared to there talent. I can't thank them enough for providing my guests with such great entertainment, everybody was overwhelmed with their music. I will definitely be booking them again and highly recommend Desire.

Just want to tell you how much we enjoyed the guys at our 50th high school reunion last Saturday. What a great way to celebrate and remember those great times back in the fifties! Everyone raved about the group; not only for their terrific voices, but also for their great personalities and ability to create a fun time. They (and you) were a pleasure to work with; professional, courteous and accommodating in every way and we thank you for helping to make our event such a success. It couldn't have been better!
Thanks, Charlene

Hi … I was at the Jefferson house for New year's eve. The Band Desire was one of the main reasons I went and they didn't disapoint me. They were wonderful as always and I feel the best oldies band around. The talent is amazing and they play a whole range of music. A lot of oldies bands stick strictly to slow music or only 50's but this band mixes it up. I tell every they are a must see. (Gerri)

I recently saw Desire and their performance was very invigorating! I am not a young person and dancing and singing to their music makes me feel young and joyful. I think they are a really terrific group. (Marianne G)

We recently saw Desire to help celebrate a birthday. As always, it was a blast! Great way to get together with good friends and hear fantastic music. Looking forward to the next time!

My all time favorite group.... I never get tired of hearing their songs. They just make you want to dance, and dance I do. No one can beat their vocal harmony, fantastic lead singer with a voice like an Angel, but they all do leads, each one of them with their own special style. Once you hear them you will be a fan forever. If you don't have a copy of their CD Step by Step you don't know what you are missing. I listen to mine every day. Following DESIRE is like belonging to a big family, the Desire Family. (Mary Ann O)

If anyone goes out to see Desire and doesn't have a good time then guaranteed its their own fault. These guys know how to show their audience a good time and they always keep the dance floor full all night long. Desire singers are pros and it shows in their performances; such great harmonies. Plus you won't find a nicer bunch of men in this crazy business. (Lori from Can't Stop Now)

I have been following DESIRE for over 2 years now. The music is the best dance sound around and the 'guys' themselves have great personalities... true crowd pleasers. They make a night out fun, everywhere they go! (Linda W)

I recently heard Desire's first CD, and I guess I will have say something positive or my cousin Bobby Hep will hit me in the back of the head with a rake as he did in the backyard of his Brooklyn apartment when we were kids. It's the truth. Just ask him, but all kidding aside, listening to Desire's wonderful harmonies takes me back to a time when I could turn on WCBS or WABC on the AM dial and groove to all those songs which have now become rock 'n roll classics. Every time I hear Desire sing, I am overwhelmed with memories that so many of their songs conjure up. Thanks Desire and God Bless.
From: George (What did I do to deserve a rake to the head?) D
Please note: this event took place when the boys were 5 yrs old and it was a plastic rake.

Ever since I met Desire 2 years ago I was "hooked". I love their music, song list and the guys are just wonderful. They enjoy what they do and it shows. I'm a product of the 50's, so to hear this music brought back by all these great voices makes going to their gigs that much more fun. Keep up the good work, I LOVE YOU GUYS (Rosemary K)
