Grand Opening•Reviewed on October 19, 2009•From Whitewater, WI

The crowd loved the afternoon band and I was a little worried about how we top that with these guys for the evening. They didn't just "top it", they smoked them. The guests could not believe how good they were and kept commenting on how "music savvy" I must be. If they only knew. The best comment came from the sound & light engineer we hired for the stage - "I have worked with hundreds of bands over the years and these guys are so tight and on the money that they are in the top 3 of all time, hands down!" From the experts to the novices, people notice - these guys rocked the house! Thanks again gigmasters.com for helping to make me look good! - Mike

Wedding•Reviewed on September 27, 2008•From Lake Geneva, WI

The performance at our wedding was simply incredible. Not only did we love the music, we had MANY guests come up to us to tell us how awesome the band was. This is by far the best 70s rock cover band I have ever heard, and my wife and I graduated from two big ten schools..we have heard alot of cover bands. Also, they were very easy to work with. Their new female vocalist is just ridiculously talented. If I ever hear about my company putting together an event, or other wedding plans from family and friends, I will absolutely put in a good word for SOJOURN ROCKS!

Wedding•Reviewed on September 8, 2007•From Marshalltown, IA

We had a graet time! Sojourn Rocks, kept our guests Dancing all evening long. I don't think we could have chosen a band more perfect for this event and the 220 guests that attended it. We had add a female voicalist to the band for our wedding and she really compeleted the engery we were looking for. Thank you Sojourn Rocks. I had guests telling me all night long "This is the best wedding I've ever been to" "We love the Band" "The band is awesome" Thanks again, Jammie

Community Event•Reviewed on August 23, 2007•From Fulton, MO

This is a very professional group that performed outdoors on probably the hottest night of the year in mid-Missouri! For the past several years at William Woods University, we have opened the year with an outdoor concert. This is one of the best bands we have had for this opening concert. Many thanks to the band and crew for a great event.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 13, 2016•From Johnsburg, IL

Great group of talented guys. Very accommodating and professional. They were early to the event, set up an incredible amount of high end sound equipment, and put on a great performance. Would not hesitate to hire these folks again, they get my highest recommendation.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 28, 2008•From Effingham, IL

I just want to give a BIG thank you to Sojourn! Your talent is unbelievable and you made our reception unforgettable. Even a month after the wedding, the reception staff and guests are still talking about your performance. You made the process so easy and the price can't be beat! Thanks again. You rock!

Event•Reviewed on May 25, 2016•From East Peoria, IL

We were pleased with the band and their performance except their female vocalist did not attend our event. We hired them expecting to have both male and female vocalists and feel the range of songs would have been much different.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 21, 2011•From Effingham, IL

We were very happy with Sojourn Rock's performance at our wedding reception!Tony was extremely friendly and prompt in responding to emails, and the band learned several new songs at our request.SR's music appealed to a range of ages (although we did not request much top 40). One thing to note is that you're required to provide a stage, which added several hundred dollars to our tent rental fee--this was a reasonable request they mentioned up front, but just something to know ahead of time.Overall, SRs provided a fun performance and were easy to work with. I'd highly recommend working with SR as a good and reasonably priced band in the Central Illinois area.

Club Event•Reviewed on August 12, 2019•From East Peoria, IL

Sojourn Rocs was a perfect band for our event. Their selection of music hit all the marks. If you are looking for a band that plays ALL the "just released" this band is not for you. If you LOVE all the rest, then this band is for you! Our crowd loved the music and danced, danced, danced!!!

Club Event•Reviewed on September 19, 2019•From Florence, IN

Their choice of music was dead on for our group and the male vocals were fantastic (we weren't as impressed with the female vocalist but it was her very first time performing with them and she didn't seem to be familiar with a lot of the music. No doubt she'll get better with more performances under her belt). I would hire them again.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 16, 2021•From Oconomowoc, WI

I am highly disappointed in this band. As a bride, they treated me fine besides starting our first dance song without us on the dance floor and didn’t stop when my dad told them to since we weren’t out there. They also were rude to my dad throughout the night and rude to the venue owner when asked to turn their volume down which they didn’t do. Our first dance song they played awfully once we finally did get on the dance floor. The rest of the night was fine music wise but if I could change one thing about our wedding it would’ve been booking a different band. Originally the band was nice but they did not follow through once at the venue. I would not hire again.

This gig was 7 months ago. I vaguely recall the interactions with the clients. I was not aware of any negative perceptions from the family. The bride was in the room when their song was started, but she left the room and made adjustments to her dress then returned to the dance floor. We started her song over at that point. The barn owner asked us to turn down a couple of times. We tried to satisfy her, but she would not be satisfied with the volume. Rock has a certain level one has to play in order to be effective. We have entertained hundreds of wedding clients and corporate clients and this is the first such response of this kind.

Hi Tim, You are a very discerning client and your rating was accurate concerning handling special requests for songs. We were not familiar with some songs that were requested. Also one of the band members was absent, sick with the flu. Thanks again for everything, Tony

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 1, 2021•From Indianapolis, IN

Sojourn Rocs made my 50th Birthday Bash an evening for the record books! They were talented, energetic, kind, fun, sensitive to the vibe of the group, etc, etc. What more could you ask for? Such a tight band and so much fun!

Celebration•Reviewed on September 19, 2021•From Kewanee, IL

I hired Sojourn Rocs for my mom's celebration of life. They were amazing! From the time I booked, everything went smoothly... communication, my requests, and timeliness. Their music was also great! They played exactly the type of music we were hoping for and the crowd loved them. They even let my dad come up and use their guitar and sing a song to pay tribute to my mom. It was beautiful. I would highly recommend this band for any occasion. They are professional, courteous, and great musicians.
