Review by Jennifer M.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 15, 2025•From Norwalk, CT
I had the Eugene Dobbs Nu-Cullers play for my husband’s 50th birthday and they were absolutely incredible. Days later guests are still reaching out to tell me how much fun they had, and everyone asked me how I found the band because they were so good. They had great energy, interacted with the crowd, and their vocals were outstanding. It truly felt like a private concert. Guests were on the dance floor smiling, laughing, and having the time of their lives. The band created such a magical atmosphere and made the night unforgettable. We will be talking about this celebration for years to come. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 28, 2025•From Windsor, CT
Gene and his band were phenomenal. From start to finish, they were professional, accommodating, and most importantly, extremely talented! They put on an incredible show for our surprise birthday party, and worked with us to plan out the entire evening, even learning a new song that afternoon! I look forward to booking Gene's band for many more occasions to come.

We both were on the same page which was making sure the client is more than satisfied.

This was my first party of the season and new colors made it a great one! The band members were very friendly worked well with the DJ had a high level of talent and good interaction with the audience! I’m already planning on hiring them for my Halloween party! Their sound is amazing very authentic and a good wide range of songs. I would recommend them to anyone who wanted to get people up on their feet and moving!

Celebration•Reviewed on September 6, 2021•From North Kingstown, RI
If you want your guests to be up on their feet and dancing all night long, this is the band for you! With an extensive mix of R+B, funk, pop, soul and Motown hits EVERYBODY from 3-90 raved about the music at my community festival at the beach! I've already had two guests ask for their contact info, for a 50th birthday party and a summer event next year. You can be sure I'll be hiring them again. You should too - you won't be disappointed!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 3, 2019•From Mystic, CT
Gene Dobbs and the Nu-Cullers were the hit of the wedding reception! So many guests came
Up to me and told me how much they enjoyed Gene and his band! He got down off the stage and walked around the tables encouraging people to get up and dance! He was on the dance floor with guests, he was extremely entertaining with the guests! He’s very interactive with the guests and bride and groom. Everyone enjoyed him! He brought a female lead singer to sing our first song,
He learned another song for us and played so many songs we requested. Jennifer Marshall was a joy to work with leading up to the event. I highly recommend hiring the Nu-Cullers!!!

Thank you Laurie it was a honor for us to entertain you and your guest.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 9, 2018•From Essex, VT
Gene is a greast vocalist and entertainer. They have played at all 3 of our kids weddings. The band does a great job backing Gene up. All are talented,but the rhythm section in particular is outstanding.

Wedding•Reviewed on November 3, 2017•From Wilmington, VT
Gene Dobbs and Nu-Cullers far exceeded our expectations, they were professional, easy to work with, and above all else amazingly talented musicians. The band rocked, kept people on the dance floor all night long, and made our wedding so special. All of our guests kept commenting on how good the band was, they were blown away.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 6, 2016•From Westport, NY
Having already read great reviews for Nu-Cullers, my husband and I felt fairly confident in our decision to hire them for our wedding, but I can honestly say they blew our expectations out of the water. I'm giving them 5 stars across the board for many reasons: 1) they're damn good musicians and entertainers 2) not a single guest out of 175 people could resist dancing 3) they were super easy and professional to work with 4) I loved their music selection 5) they worked the crowd and left people wanting MORE at the end of the set (they graciously played an extra 30 min, despite their 4 hour journey home that night). I'd book them again in a heartbeat. THANK YOU!

Hello Sarah: I got to say that your event was the best fun I ever had!
On behalf of Nu-Cullers Entertainment I truly thank you and Josh for a warm, hospitable and appreciated by all experience for Nu-Cullers.
Congratulations again!

Private Party•Reviewed on August 27, 2015•From Jamaica Plain, MA
Hired Nu-Cullers to play my fathers 70th birthday, their performance was nothing short of spectacular!! They put on a show that literally made the party. They are one of the most talented and electric bands I've seen in a long time. They were a pleasure to work with, very professional, and kept the crowd engaged. I would recommend Nu-Cullers to anyone wanting an energetic, lively, and fun party.

Life of the party, everyone was dancing the whole night. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Nu-Cullers are the real deal.
Review by Jeff D.
Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 1, 2014•From Newport, RI
The Nu-Cullers stole the night away. When having a wedding, the band can kind of set the tone, at least for the dance floor. Nothing beats live music and having that big band era feel. Gene Dobbs and his crew definitely lived up to our expectations and more. Our entire wedding was on the dance floor all night. We knew they were extremely talented, but the energy they brought was contagious. With that said, they were very good at reading the audience and performing to the desires of the bride and groom. Their replication of the wedding songs was most incredible. This group can do anything; they have a professional swag which comes off smooth and cool. High praise!

Gene Dobbs and the Nu Cullers were perfect. The band had my guests up and dancing right away, and kept the energy up all night. They were easy to work with, professional, and fantastic musically. Definitely book them!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 28, 2013•From West Haven, CT
The nu-cullers, led by Gene Dobbs, are much more than a wedding band. I was blown aways by the bands energy and Gene's talents as an MC. They take me back to the likes of James Brown and Little Richard in the way that they pour their hearts and souls into the performance and keep the audience dancing and singing along the whole time. I even joined the Nu-Cullers for a few songs, which was thrilling. They had taken the time to learn one of my original compositions, and found a number of ways to embellish it. When you hire the nu-cullers, you are not getting a wedding band, you are getting the real deal. Consummate professionals with exceptional talent. WOW!

Wedding•Reviewed on August 12, 2014•From Groton, CT
I had seen the Nu-Cullers at another wedding and had been saving their card for my own wedding. We had a lot of vendors, and working with Gene was comparatively painless. On the day, they quickly set up as rain had meant they had to set up during dinner. We looked forward to them raising the energy after dinner to get things going and I couldn't believe how well they delivered. They have tremendous talent and range. We wanted a mix of Motown and modern songs made into a bit of Motown and we got a great set list that had the entire party dancing right to the end. The quality of the music was amazing - having real trumpets is just a whole other level!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 26, 2013•From Essex, CT
We absolutely loved the performance and the guests have been texting today how great the music was. Nu Cullers were fabulous...they had the whole party dancing all night! I really think the guests were surprised with just how terrific they were
If you want a great, fun and truly exciting performance, then Nu Cullers is the group
you should book

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 7, 2012•From Chittenden, VT
Great band!!! They were willing to learn songs, tailor the setlist around a few of our favorites, and they even let me sit in on guitar for one song. Everybody at our wedding had a phenomenal time dancing. Highly recommended!!

Concert•Reviewed on December 18, 2012•From New Haven, CT
We hired the Nu-Cullers band to play along with a band from California for a concert that we were very pleased with them as they did an amazing job. They are very talented and professional and they will do an amazing job for your event!

Nu-Cullers band was proud and honored to back up 8th Day and the Maccabeats. We strive to present the best when it comes down to our musicians. We thank our client for granting us this opportunity to stand and deliver!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 27, 2011•From Newport, RI
We had seen Nu-Cullers at a wedding several years ago and knew that we had to have them at our wedding. They did not disappoint. They were easy to work with, very accomodative to all of our requests, and most importantly they rocked our wedding! Everyone was on the dance floor all night. We heard from several guests that they were the best wedding band they had ever heard. We highly recommend Nu-Cullers, they helped give us a night we will never forget.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 6, 2012•From New Rochelle, NY
Gene Dobbins was very professional in his dealings with our organization in advance of the event and the event was a lot of fun! The band was great-- the musicians were talented and we had a lot of fun. Gene and I discussed the type of crowd we were going to have at the party, and his song selection was right on. They also took some requests from the guests as well. Overall, I would highly recommend the Nu-Cullers!
