The icing on the cake was the addition of Alex Markels on Guitar. Alex is smooth, swingin’ and funky all at once, and effortlessly melded with Tom and Pete. Alex is the son of the late local poet Bobby Markels. He and I have a musical relationship that goes back to the 70’s and the Caspar Flats Band. With a rhythm section like this, the rest is cake.

Fabulous night with Lady D!

I found Alex and Lady D and the tramps through Gig Salad and was very pleased! Alex came to meet with me on site more than once to ensure set up would go smoothly and was completely on board with how we wanted the evening to go. Our residents loved the music and danced the night away! Highly recommend!

Passionate & Professional Musicians

We at Olimpia’s on the Boulevard have hired these fantastic musicians many times over and have never been disappointed! They are all great entertainers who truly have a passion for music and enjoy warming the hearts of all they play for!

Alex Markels is one of my personal favorites!!! He is an amazing guitar player and really brings this jazz standard to the spotlight! Lady D always brings her gorgeous voice and attitude, James Moseley & the 13 Strings constantly have us singing along, Tina Marzell & Karen Sudjian always soothe our souls, and I can’t say enough about Noel Jewkes…LOVE LOVE LOVE him on Sax!!! It is an honor and privilege to hear these musicians delight us on a regular basis, would absolutely recommend them!!!

A Holiday Harmony Extravaganza!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring The Rent Party Rhythm Section for our Christmas tree lighting party, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the initial communication to the final performance, they proved to be an absolute delight to work with.

Alex’s responsiveness and easy communication made the planning process seamless. He was not only accommodating but also displayed a remarkable level of adaptability when it came to last-minute changes in both timing and program. This flexibility truly sets them apart.

What impressed me the most was their ability to seamlessly transition between jazz and Christmas music. The variety in their repertoire added a special touch to our event, creating a festive atmosphere that perfectly complemented the holiday spirit. Their performance was a huge success, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about them.

The Rent Party Rhythm Section not only met but exceeded our expectations. Their musical talent, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. In fact, numerous guests inquired about their contact information, a testament to the band’s popularity at our event.

If you’re looking for a band that brings not only exceptional musical skills but also a positive and collaborative attitude, I wholeheartedly recommend The Rent Party Rhythm Section. They turned our Christmas tree lighting party into a memorable and magical evening, and I can’t thank them enough for their outstanding performance. I will absolutely hire them back every year!
