Hey Andy,

The band was absolutely fabulous! I would highly recommend them to my friends and colleagues. They were definitely the life of the party. My guests were on the stage with them dancing and having a great time. Thanks so much! Give a special thanks to Jimi – he was wonderful.

Hey Jimi and the band,

I was one of many Irish students living in Delaware for the summer and I have to say that every friday got better and better the more we saw ye! we even managed to see ye at the Ravens Redskins after show party, Firstly thanks for absolutely great entertainment, secondly just wondering, is there any chance that you would ever play in Ireland, everyone over here who has seen you is dieing to see you again, so if there’s any chance or if there’s any way to help get you over here, give us a shout, cheers,

Ian Tilson

Waterford, Ireland!!!

Jimi Smooth & HitTime were a big hit at our wedding. I knew they would be good because I’d seen them play at a friend’s private party, a big Democratic fund raiser, and at a large outdoor festival – but I didn’t know they’d be that GREAT! All of our guests loved them and they had the dance floor packed from start to finish. And Jimi did a great job emceing the event. HitTime has to be the hardest working band in show business. Not only did they put on a great show, but they were courteous, professional, and friendly throughout. And they were twice as good as other bands that were trying to charge us three times as much. I highly recommend people book Jimi Smooth for any event where people want to have fun and here great music. Thanks again guys! ps We already have booked you guys again for a Halloween party, so we’ll see you on Friday the 29th!

Craig,

We had a great experience with Jimi Smooth!! They played last Friday in Richmond at an after party after our son’s rehearsal dinner party! We had people from 83 (my dad) to early twenties and everyone loved them and their sound! They were very professional and extremely flexible! They had to set up when we were in the next room having our dinner and you would never have known they were there setting up! Everything went on without a hitch and on time! Jimi called beforehand and got directions and I never saw him until after the music began! (b/c we were at the dinner). Jimi himself is very enjoyable and quite fun! I happily recommend Jimi Smooth and HitTime and if I ever need a band again would not hesitate to call to book them!

Hi Hank!

We had a fantastic time at our wedding! Jimi Smooth did an outstanding job. People were dancing from the very beginning of the reception all the way until the last song was played. We truly could not have been happier with their performance.

We are hoping to have the opportunity to attend another function (maybe a friends wedding?) where Jimi Smooth is in charge of the music.

Thanks again,

Yvonne

Hank,

We just got back from our honeymoon, and well, having talked to all our
family and friends, it is safe to say that we were not alone in thinking that
Jimi Smooth was an absolute hit!!!! He was great! Please forward this
email to him as I want him to know how wonderful and fun everyone there
thought he was. He made it the best wedding ever–not only did I think so,
but our friends did as well. So thanks for all your help–it was great!
Sincerely,

McLean and Libby Wilson

13:1 was formed Christmas of 08. We started a few months before basically toying with some band and genre ideas. We didn't have a singer at that time, so our bass player PJ wanted to give it a shot. We then found a prodigy 16 whose true identity is still unknown but we like to call him Brandon. Once these two pieces of the puzzle were matched, we became... 13:1

But Like Most Bands after about 7 months of playing, we took a small hit with the loss of our drummer John K. So we had a good friend of ours Justin Mayhorn from D.T.C. to Step in and Record the Drums on the upcoming album. Then we took an even bigger hit when our good friend and bass player Brandon told us he was leaving the band. Well after a few hard weeks on trying to cancel the thought that this band was going to die, we came across a local drummer from Smyrna, DE... "Allen Siembida". Allen fit right in, and is the new 13:1 Drummer. After Trying out a few Bass Players we found a local bassist from Dover, DE... "Shannon Ouimet". Just like Allen did, She fit right in. She is the new 13:1 Bassist.

13:1 has been around for about a year now, went through some tough times, but we've rebuilt, found two new awesome people, and were going to be coming out harder and stronger then before...
