The Remedies rock!!“The band was a major highlight of our company’s wellness retreat. They have a an incredible sound, created a perfect energy and vibe and nobody wanted them to stop…and we got several encores!”— Jason Spears

One more song!“The Remedies didn't just show up—they showed out! This was our organization’s first wellness retreat, and we wanted the opening night to be fun, welcoming, and a space for our team to really let their hair down. The Remedies created exactly that atmosphere and did not disappoint. Beyond their performance, they were a pleasure to work with. The entire band was so professional, arrived early to get set up, and worked closely with us beforehand to ensure the setlist was exactly what we wanted to hear. During the event, they were energetic and kept the vibe perfect. We spent the night dancing, singing, and having such a great time that we didn't want it to end. When the crowd started chanting for 'one more song,' they happily obliged! It was a fantastic evening, and we will definitely be booking them again in the future. Thank you all for making our retreat so memorable!”— Abby Corkin
