What people are saying about SoulMate … New Testimonial received 3/14/08: "Lisa - Attached is a little note of praise. All the Best, Ginni. ... As a Special Event Director, I hire bands all year long for a variety of events. For our 2008 Awards Dinner (very prestigious event), I contracted The SoulMate Band. When the band took the stage, not only was I impressed, but the room was in a stir! At least a dozen people came to me to find out where I found this dynamite band. In setting up the administrative details with The SoulMate Band, they were professional and easy to work with, very accommodating. Their look for the upscale event was first class. Their performance was not only appropriate for the event and the crowd, it was exhilarating!! Everyone had a great time and raved about the band … which makes ME look good! I sure appreciate that!!!!!!!! I plan to hire The SoulMate band and have referred them several times since our event. Whatever your looking for… THEY'VE GOT IT!!!!" Ginni McNamara, Dir. of Special Events, Seafood Festival Vice-Chairman, Seafood Festival Food Vendor Mgr., Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce, Hampton, New Hampshire New Testimonial received 3/4/08: As reported in The Wire - Food, Music & Dancing at Saunders! "Whether you come for the food, music, dancing or a combination of all three, you are likely to find a good time at Saunders this Friday. The restaurant will feature a blend of all three components during the 'Take the Leap' Cocktail Reception and Dance Party on Friday, Feb. 29. 'It's the complete package,' said Doug Zechel, owner of Saunders Restaurant at Rye Harbor. 'The food has always been incredible, the band is phenomenal.' And what about the dancing? 'Well, I am your classic white, old guy,' Zechel said. But when their infectious music fills the building, everyone in attendance, including Zechel, 'can't help but dance.' The $25 price of entry includes Saunders' buffet and music from SoulMate, a band that combines classic Motown, Funk, R&B and Soul. Zechel has booked the band on many occasions because of its classic sound and high-energy performance. 'The lead singer, Mona Lisa Comeau, has incredible energy,' Zechel said. 'It's classic music. It was good 50 years ago and will still be good 50 years from now." Excerpted from The Wire Food Reporter Bill Trotter's article that appeared in The Wire Feb. 27-Mar. 4, 2008 Issue. Received two hours after our performance! - "My friend and I saw your band for the first time tonight at The Brunswick in Old Orchard Beach and loved it. You all were wonderful and everyone had a great time. You are all very talented musicians and singers! It was great to see a band where you could tell everyone loved what they were doing. Keep up the great work and I hope to see you perform again soon. Take Care and Thank you, Judy, Portland, ME" NEW! "Lisa, it was a pleasure to meet you Saturday night.

Always eager for more dancing nights; you were terrific at Saunders! SuziM, Rye, NH” "Thank you for adding me to your E-Mail list. I want to become a member of your fan club. I have seen your group several times, most recently at the Sand's in Salisbury, Ma., and cannot get enough of you guys! Your music is outstanding and brings back many memories. Your performance of the " Oldies " is so much like the originals, I close my eyes and almost see the original performers. Thank you all for making me feel young again. My friends love you, too. We plan to see you at the Sand's on the 16th of June, if not before, God willing. Please give my regards to the rest of the band and thank them also. I might just become a 'Groupie' :-) So until then...Be well, God Bless. Peace & Love." Herbe AKA Chief Big Dog :-) "Found
My SoulMate Listening to SoulMate … Just wanted to drop you an email
to say what an awesome time my guy and I had dancing the night away with
SoulMate at Zackary's this past Saturday night (3/31/07)! The band was
absolutely in top form, wailing on some great tunes, and Mona
Lisa and Chubby were on fire, connecting with us and the whole audience with
their amazing voices and gifted on-stage presence! A truly awesome show!
We specifically went to Zackary's that night to experience your band for
the 2nd time ... the 1st time we experienced SoulMate was at the same
place just this past January 20th when we were on our first date. That
night he and I started down the road to falling in love, and dancing to
SoulMate's passionate performance just moved us both so much, we were able to
easily connect emotionally with one another right there on the dance
floor. Since that night, we both have a very deep fondness for
SoulMate, and this band will always be a warm part of our budding romance story.
We plan to keep a
permanent eye on your website and will attend as many of your shows as possible.
Just wanted you to know that for some of us in your posse, SoulMate is not
only a fun and talented band to listen to and dance with, but also a real part
of our hearts. The name "SoulMate" is truly fitting for this band!
Thanks for giving us some great memories! And we're looking forward to making
many more!" 2 new soulmates in the SoulMate Posse, Donna and Rick,
Westbrook, Maine "I wasn't sure what to expect the first time we had Soul Mate perform here at Saunders at Rye Harbor, NH. I knew Lisa had great energy in just talking with her, but I had no idea what fun and spunk she would have as a performer! Soul Mate was not just background music. Lisa is amazing as lead singer ... she got people up, dancing and singing with her. The energy of the band and these Motown classics are outstanding. It really is an event when they come in: one you don't want to end, and one we are very excited to have them back for." J. K. Burpee, Bar Mgr., Asst. to Owner, Saunders at Rye Harbor, NH "Thank you so much for a professional and exciting evening. The organization was wonderful. I was so nervous about how things were going to be pulled off, but you put me at ease. SoulMate coordinated everything with the Function Hall to make my In-laws feel extra-special on a very special occasion. We got to Spinelli's and again I was put at ease, to see you almost completely set up and ready to go. You even offered to help us put our centerpieces on the tables. What a help. Now to the music … you took into consideration the different age groups of people we had attending the party, and worked with them. The band had slower and softer music in the beginning and got going by the end of the night. We danced the night away! I cannot thank you enough for helping us make the 50th a wonderful unforgettable evening. I will suggest SoulMate again and again to anyone! You are a wonderful band and I look forward to our next event to give you a call. See you on September 2nd on Short Sands! Thank you!" Dani DeLucca, Wells, ME “Hi Lisa! I wanted to join in with all the great reviews I've read. Saw your performance at Saunders at Rye, NH recently with my friend. We had so much fun … Love Train, Ojays~~I will see you tonight in Portland, ME. I'll bring my hubby this time!! Best regards.....keep groovin!!” Jennifer from Kittery "I have referred your band … for a party … we’d like to dance to your music there! I think it is interesting that with the boomer generation out there, there aren’t more venues for “our” music to dance to. But we are on the lookout for more places you play at. I am just so glad we happened to see a notice in Foster’s about your night at Saunders. Otherwise, we never would have known about it. We had more fun that night than we’ve had in a long time!" Andrea "Thanks so much for your ‘welcome’ note - You'll remember meeting me at Zachary's on Friday night ... we had a ball, dancing right in front of you! We LOVED your performance, and I've already spoken with other fans who were there that night so people were definitely talking about the SOULMATE BAND!! VERY much looking forward to seeing / hearing you again!" Cal "My girlfriend and I danced to your music at the Exit 48 Holiday Inn, Portland last night. We both Loved the Music and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!! We would like to know when/where
you are as we would like to to go to other SoulMate shows. Thanks and Keep It Up! You Sound Great!" Patrick, Portland, ME
