Testimonials
“My team had the pleasure of working with Sammy Miller and The Congregation on several occasions for many different types of events. Their joyful jazz infused the activities with energy and warmth, making them truly memorable experiences for everyone involved. It was an absolute delight to see how their music brought people together!”
“We were enjoying a late summer day at Radegast Hall in Brooklyn talking about our plans for the wedding, when Sammy Miller and the Congregation paraded through the venue with brass and drums and the place came alive. My wife and I knew right away – that’s what we want people to feel during our special day – a joyful jazz where you can’t help but smile and move.”
“Sammy Miller and The Congregation is a triple-threat. They are superb musicians, play engaging and inventive music, and are thoroughly entertaining. The 2018 Saratoga Jazz Festival audience was totally knocked out by their set.”
“ When Sammy Miller and the Congregation tore into their first set at our wedding, my first thought was “Oh my God.... I can’t believe I have this guy’s cell phone number!”. It really felt like I was in the presence of some kind of magical talent, as if one of the greats was sitting in at our wedding. I’m sure everyone in attendance felt the same (they let us know). As a guitarist, music is extremely important to me and I can be a bit of a snob, and the same goes for many of the other guests. The only people who weren’t wearing holes in their shoes on the dancefloor were my friends who are professional musicians and producers, they were too busy standing right at the edge of the stage taking notes, mouths agape. After the event, there was a line of guests waiting to shake hands with the band and inquire about their availability for other upcoming events. The guitarist was also kind enough to play classical renditions of some Beatles tunes (my wife walked down the aisle to “If I Fell” and the moment was perfect). This is made all the more impressive by the fact that Sammy is super laid back and easy to work with. We gave him so little information about the type of music we wanted and what our expectations were, and the answer to most of his questions was “I don’t know, we hadn’t really thought about it”. We just named a few bands to give him an idea of our taste and he crafted a better setlist than I would have been able to if I spent 3 months putting one together myself. I can’t sing their praises highly enough, nor can I wait to see these guys play live again! If every other part of your wedding is a disaster, your wedding will still be a complete success if you’ve hired Sammy MIller and the Congregation!”
