Hi Gerry,
Well, it's four days after my son's wedding & I'm still getting emails & calls
about what a great wedding it was. Shout played for Drew & Tara's wedding last
Saturday and everybody can't stop calling to say what a great band you guys are.
I am so happy that we were able to book you for the wedding. Everyone who was
there was entertained. They were either dancing or they watched the "show" from
the tables. Thank you for being such a great part of everyone having a great
time! Kathy M.
Hi Gerry,
We just wanted to thank you SO much for playing at our wedding. The
band was unbelievable and absolutely everyone loved you guys! We got a
lot of “they are the best band I have ever heard”. It was such a great
day and because of Shout!, we had the most wonderful and memorable
entertainment for our wedding with a packed dance floor!!!
Thanks again! Sincerely, Allison and Ryan
Hi Gerry...just wanted to say "I
thank you" to Shout & the Legends of Soul for a GREAT performance on Friday. The
sound came through loud & clear from not only the instruments, but from the
vocals as well. It was a great blend of music all night long.
Hope to see the band again soon.
Thanks again,
Kathy

Kathleen Cochrane marries Dean DePiero.
Fox 8 News Reporter Kathleen Cochrane married Parma Mayor Dean DePiero
Friday.
After being introduced by Fox 8 Sports Anchor Tony Rizzo, Kathleen and
Dean dated for one and a half years before getting married. Dean
proposed to Kathleen on Christmas Eve 2007.
More than 250 guests witnessed the lakeside ceremony and tented
reception. Fox 8 News Anchor Bill Martin helped officiate the ceremony
along with a priest. Governor Ted Strickland offered the reception
blessing.
Fox 8 News Anchor Stacey Bell served as a greeter and joined the band
"Shout" -- a regular performer on Fox 8 News in the Morning -- on stage
to entertain the crowd. She also caught the bouquet!
The wedding colors were pink and green. The seven bridesmaids wore Vera
Wang gowns purchased at Matina's in Woodmere, while the bride's gown was
specially made at Fyoder Attellier at La Place.
The happy couple exchanges rings from the Jewel House in Parma. The
wedding cake was made by famous confectioner Wendy Kromer of Sandusky,
best known for her stunning wedding cakes featured in Martha Stewart
Weddings magazine.
Dean and Kathleen plan to honeymoon in Italy, where they'll meet some of
DePiero's distant relatives.
Hi Gerry:
I wanted to let you
know how thrilled we were with your band on Saturday night at my
daughter's wedding. You were absolutely fabulous and we are still
getting calls every day from friends who could not get over how
marvelous you were. Everyone is talking about you and your band and
asking me how I found you. I know that there are a lot of people
out there who will be using you in the future. Thank you for
everything. You really did an incredible job and it was a true
pleasure working with you. I appreciate your accommodating my 9 year
old niece so that she could sing as well.
Again, thanks for making my daughter's
wedding so special. I can't imagine that there is a better band in
all of Ohio! I appreciate it very much.
Sincerely,
Susan Hennenberg
Dear
Gerry, I wanted to tell you again how great "Shout" was at our wedding this
weekend!! Everyone had such a great time!! My Dad who is almost 80 was
wondering why his knees and feet hurt so much the next day! The bridal
party said they never danced so much. Thanks for everything!! Peg Gift
Gerry,
I am sorry it has taken me this long to drop a note to express how WONDERFUL
the show was the end of April in Pittsburgh at the Crown Plaza!
The show was fabulous!!
The audience was having such a good time, the band was having fun
performing, and it showed! Every member thoroughly enjoyed what they were
doing, having fun with it and with each other. Refreshing! They were all
such great entertainers, from the intro to the 4 lead singers, all the way
back to the drums, keyboards, guitars and horns! Even the shadows behind the
horns were joining in the fun!
You did such a wonderful job, all were
professional performers, kept the audience laughing, clapping, and dancing,
begging for more at the end. Your stage presence was indescribably
infectious! Everyone wanted to sing right along with you!
We will
watch your website for schedules of where SHOUT will continue to perform. I
just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the show and are STILL talking
about it, before any more time lapses!
Hope to
catch this show and these performers again and again!
Thanks and God bless you all,
Mary Chiovitti

Thank you so much for making our wedding
such a memorable event. You
have no idea how many people are still talking about the band/music.
Everyone did a fantastic job. John wasn't quite sure what to expect
at first when he saw the 11 piece band start playing w/ the red
sequined jackets and doing their Motown moves. His words to me were
"What have you done?" but he absolutely LOVED it.
Have a great summer.
Suzanne
I had the pleasure of hearing a group of vocal
singers and a band that surprised and delighted me and the crowd at the same
time. While at Harrah's Rich & I saw Shout the 70's show and was not
impressed with the vocals, I went to a little town called Wheeling By God
West Virginia and heard clear vocals, recording sound from a band. (Shout!
featuring the Legends of Soul) This band performed on the National stage,
and rightfully so!
Please pass this on to your entertainment dept
in Lake Tahoe or Harrah's Ent. group in Las Vegas.
The group Legend of Soul will blow you away.
You performed
for my daughters wedding Fri. night and you all were
OUTSTANDING!!!! Couldn't sit still all night. The guests are STILL talking about
it. You guys made our reception unforgettable. What I loved the most was your
HIGH ENERGY level all night long. Would recommend showing some of the songs with
that level of energy on the web site so all can get the REAL feel of your
performance. Looking forward to seeing one of your shows in the near future!!
GREAT JOB and Thanks so much for making her day a memorable one!!! Maura
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS... AT A WEDDING, CLUB,
ANYWHERE. PEOPLE WANT TO REMEMBER THE MOMENT. THE BAND AND THEMSELVES CAPTURED
ON FILM. WOULD ALSO MAKE THE WEB SITE A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD SEE IT AND LAUGH
AND HAVE A GOOD TIME ALL OVER AGAIN. SHOW THERE FRIENDS IN A PICTURE HOW FUN IT
WAS. We caught your performance at the Loose
Moose last Friday. We've seen you many times over the summer, but for some
reason, last Friday was even better! The whole place was really in to you so
keep up the great work! It was a great evening! Thank you!
Do you have a CD and is there anywhere I can get
it?? Thanks. Annette
OCT.15, 2005 SHOUT PERFORMED AT MY COUSINS WEDDING DOWNTOWN
CLEVELAND. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS FINE GROUP, IT MADE THE RECEPTION. I
LOVE MOTOWN MUSIC AND THESE GUYS GOT IT DOWN. CANT WAIT TO GET ON YOUR MAILING
LIST!! THANKS AGAIN, LU ANN LITTLE (the one in the red pantsuit that couldn't
keep her hands to herself!!)
Hello, My name is Kim Little. Your band played for
my son's wedding on Saturday the 15 th of October. 1st I wanted to tell you, you
guys were great!!!!!!! I have never heard a better band. I had no idea what to
expect, I was extremely pleased. Every person I talked to that was there said
you guys were awesome. It was like going to a concert. Now, my husband loved the
red jackets. Would you be able to tell me were you got them so I can order one
for him for Christmas. Please. Thank you very much, looking forward to hearing
you again soon. Kim Little :) Shout! Im so
forlorn. I thought pictures of the wedding I was at would be posted. You guys
are wonderful but to be blunt your website is uh well.Whos in charge of it?
Gerry . Pictures did not arrive. Please send again.
You guys were awesome. You performed for the Rock Hall
staff party. Amazing. I thought when the mics went out and you improved.... that
was amazing. I know a lot of performers who would have just stopped. Once you
started the music just kept getting better. Im trying to get some of us to come
out and see you guys perform again soon. Much love.... Jen.
I saw your show Dec.7 at House of Blues. Great job. Hope to
see you at the Swamp Club. Maxwell. I want to
tell you how much fun I had at the Forest City Christmas party last night at the
silver Grill in downtown Cleveland. I haven't danced like that in years. You all
were incredible! Thanks for such a great time. Please come to the East side
every now and then. I'll be watching out
I Love your web site, but would like to hear longer
versions of your songs when you click MP3.
Just wanted to say that we saw SHOUT for the first time the other night at the
Loose Moose Cafe in Sagamore Hills, they are AWESOME!!! In fact, the same group
of ppl are going to the Little Italy show on Feb 10th. Do they ever play at
Rocking on the River in Cuyahoga Falls? If not, you need to try and book them
there...this side of down would LOVE them. Thanks again, Marla Chech
JUST WANTED TO SAY NEW PICS ARE GREAT BUT STILL NEED
PEOPLE DANCING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME SO WE CAN SEE OURSELVES!!!! WOULD MAKE US
ALL FEEL LIKE STARS ON THAT DAY!!!!!LOVE, KATHI
HI, BACKS OF HEADS DON'T SHOW PEOPLE HAVING A GOOD TIME.
PLEASE RETHINK YOUR PHOTO STRATEGY, MORE PEOPLE WILL COME HERE LOOKING FOR THEIR
EVENT AND THEIR FRIENDS TO SHOW OTHERS. LET'S TAKE A VOTE... ALL OF YOU THAT
HAVE HAD AN EVENT THAT SHOUT PLAYED AT WHETHER YOU WENT THERE OR THEY CAME TO
YOU,THE QUESTION IS WOULD'T IT BE NICE IF SHOUT TOOK THE PICTURES OF EVERYONE
HAVING A GOOD TIME AND PUTTING THEM UP FOR EVERYONE TO SEE...MAYBE THERE IS A
LAW AGAINST THAT.IF THERE IS MAYBE SHOUT COULD ASK? TELL ME YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT
THIS. Great show at Carrie Cerino's on Fri Feb
3 So much talent from everyone. Keep Rocking
Hi Shout! We drove up to the Loose Moose from Medina and couldn't stay, too
crowded! Isn't there a way to limit the number of people? We really enjoy your
group. See you at Cerino's in March.
You have a great website. Just like your show at Carrie
Cerino's on march 11th. I have seen a lot of bands and you are by far the best.
You have great song variety and awesome singers. Mike Bell was my favorite.
Thanks Mike for giving me your email address. I look forward to seeing you
again:-)
HI, Love you guys and love to see the new pictures !!!
Everyone looks as good as they sound.
WOW! I just saw your show in Pittsburgh, You guys are the
real deal. Keep up the good work! "Solid" with
so much "Heart & Soul" are the reasons that you are everything to so many. You
know you make me wanna "Shout" & sing a song by the way you do the things you
do. I love music & I was in a boogie wonderland as you shook me all night long.
There was no parking on the dance floor for me. At last, It only takes a minute
to see that you are a shining star with the multitude of talent within your
band. I feel good & I'll be around cause I've got the boogie fever & I'm still
walking on sunshine from Saturday nights performance. That's the way I like it &
I thank you!!! Take care, Kathy :)
I have seen you perform twice. Once at my cousin's wedding
(DeJohn) and the second at a benefit, both event's at St. Noel's party center,
in Willoughby Hills, OH. A great show, great energy, and the way you guy's get
the audience involved is contagious. I have your latest CD and listen often. Do
not understand why you are not on the Vegas strip? I think your group is BIGGER
than just playing local gigs...GO FOR IT!!! Good Luck.
I have traveled the country for years. When the
opportunity arose to hear a band playing Motown or oldies but goodies, there I
was. In all my travels, I thought I heard them all, until SHOUT! All of you
should be very proud of your talents, individually and as a group! You are the
best of the best. Every opportunity I can get, I come to hear you. Once Vegas
hears you, I fear that Vegas will snatch you up in a heartbeat. If so, you
deserve it! On the other hand, SHOUT will surely be missed by their fans here.
We celebrating my fathers 60th Birthday at
Carrie Cerino's and watched your performance. My father loves Motown....We had a
fabulous time. My father was so happy and enjoyed listening to your band play.
We danced, laughed and sang along...You guys are very talented. Thank you for
such a wonderful performance and I can't wait to you guys again.....
Hey there Guys. I'm looking forward to this summer to watch
you guys in concert. I'm just kind of hoping that you will play more Oldies and
Mo-Town like you did when I 1st listened to you guys 4 yrs ago. You Guys are the
best Mo-Town sound since the Temptations & Four Tops The Retired Firefighter
that enjoys your music as much as the original artists from the 50's to the
early 70's
Brecksville Home Days- I don't know what was more
explosive, the fireworks or Shout's opening set!! Sorry we couldn't stay for the
second set, but had to get the twins to bed.....Tony, cya in Strongsville in
July. Love, Cousin Sammy
Great site! Glenn Westover Advanced Elastomer Systems
330-849-5066 Great Band and website! Bios and
individual pictures of the band members would also really add to the site.
Website is great. Saw the band for the first time at
Garfield Home Days. What a show... I was thoroughly impressed and entertained.
The music was fabulous. Hope to see you again soon. Terri
Great website, Clifton J. Brown Owner/President Reflections
In Black Museum, Music Hall Of Fame (330) 468-6917
Ooh baby baby another fresh & exciting performance tonight
at the Greenbriar Commons. You guys are "Hot Stuff"!!! It's so great how you
reach out to your audience & get them in the mood to have fun & get down on it,
as you shake your groove thing on stage with the boogie fever. I couldn't say
that I like one show more today than yesterday, because every performance is
very "EXHILARATING" & like a Heatwave!!! Someone like you will always & forever
be "UNFORGETTABLE"!!! Looking forward to the next time "Shout" & the "Legends Of
Soul" get the party started!!! Take care, Kathy Cunningham :)
JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW MARVELOUS YOU WERE AT THE PARMA
HTS COMMONS LAST NIGHT. SUPERB. THANK YOU FOR AN ENJOYABLE EVENING.
Was at the Crown Plaza (Aug 20,2006)last night in
Pittsburgh, your band and group put on a Outstanding performance, the energy
level you perform was beyond any performance I've had every herd ,,great Job
Great high energy group. Saw you last night in Pittsburgh

"WOW" YOU ARE INCREDIBLE. WHAT A TREAT!! WE ARE NOW YOUR FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS. WE

A totally awesome website for an incredibly awesome
group!!!! totally enjoy your talents!!! Caught
your show at Legacy Village this afternoon. WOW, what a group and what a
performance! We never sat down! Hope to see you again on our side of town. Cudos
to all of you! I truly can't believe what an
impressive group of people you have to represent your bands... I had another
opportunity to see you not only at Mayfield Hts home days but at Legacy
Village...both Twist and Shout have become an addiction for me... I do have to
ask how you find your talent...or if your planning on expanding on perhaps even
another band since both of these have become such a tremendous success for you??
Please get back with me and again I want to thank you and you band for another
dynamic show!!! I can't say it enough... you really have something to be totally
proud to show off!! Sincerely, Laura S.
I SAW THE SHOUT BAND AT THE MAYFIELD HTS. HOME DAYS.

THANK YOU, FOR PLAYING AT MY COUSINS WEDDING ON 9-9-06.
YOUR BAND MADE THE EVENING SO SPECIAL! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!! MARY-PARMA HTS.
We absolutely loved the band's performance on Saturday
night. Wish we could schedule another party to hear them again,
but we've married off all of our daughters now. Thanks so much for a job
spectacularly done. Our guests really enjoyed themselves.
Sue Grove
I NEEDED A SHOUT "FIX" AND UNFORTUNATELY UNABLE TO GET
ONE LAST FRIDAY AT THE MOOSE....TOTALLY PACKED AN HOUR BEFORE THE
PERFORMANCE...WHAT A TREMENDOUS DISAPPOINTMENT THAT THERE WAS NO ROOM... IT
WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN TO ME...I'LL BRING MY BLANKET AND PILLOW AND GET THERE THE
NIGHT BEFORE..SHOUT WOULD BE WORTH SLEEPING IN THE CAR FOR...NEXT YOU'LL HAVE TO
GIVE OUT WRIST BANDS... YOU ALL TRULY DESERVE THE SUCCESS OF YOUR
ORGANAZATION...AN AMAZING GROUP OF TALENT!!!!
Shout is right there at the top with Crusin. My wife and
I enjoy dancing and disco and mo-town are irresistable. Thanks for not playing
Honky-Tonky type music. Some of the Cleveland bands play a steady diet of it and
ruin the evening!
We have hired SHOUT! to perform at our wedding on
Sept 2nd, 2007, and we already know they are going to be unbelievable. We have
seen them twice, and have been blown away each time. The energy mixed with the
perfect sounding music is unforgettable. They definitly have "it"! I think my
toe is still tapping to the beat! -Scott & Erin
Gerry,
I just wanted to send a note of thanks for an
absolutely great performance at our wedding. I can't tell you how many
people asked us about the band and complimented the music and mood of the
whole evening. While I'd like to think that we created some of that
mood on our own, I know that Shout! had much to do with it. As I've
told everyone, it was the best wedding I've been to thus far (even though
I'm a little partial about it) and Shout! was absolutely fantastic.
Many Thanks,
Jen
