Reviews From Past Shows

"Thank you very much for the wonderful performance. We had over 100 people at our private party and the comments from everyone were excellent. From the moment you began to play, people were dancing and having a great time. They danced until the very last song. We appreciate the fact that you gave us a song list of over 100 songs and allowed us to choose all of the songs we wanted to hear. Also, you played for 4 1/2 hours even though you were only contracted for 4 hours. We recommend your group and look forward to having you play for us again next year.""
-Pat and Pete

"We heard MockingBird perform for the Special Olympics Chili Cook-Off this weekend. The song selections played offered something for everyone to enjoy dancing and singing along to. Their music definitely helped to add to making it a great day!"
-Jason

About Our Band Members

Greg Loreti:

Greg has been playing music since he was 4 years old. Since that time, he has been developing his passion for music through experience in multiple bands, projects, choirs and education - ultimately leading him to MockingBird. Greg's taste in music is eclectic; ranging from, but not limited to, jazz and swing, to oldies and indie rock. He is excited to be part of this group and to continue growing his passion.

Tony Williams:

Tony started with the band in the Summer of 2019. He is an amazing guitarist, and we are very fortunate to have him flying with us.

Dave Wilson

"Music has been very important to me for as long as I remember. Listening to records by Duane Eddy inspired me to learn how to play guitar." Dave and his twin brother were very involved in music throughout grade school. One of their friends introduced them as the "Neverly Brothers" for a show because of the way they harmonized. Dave was in several bands during High School and his adult life. He taught himself how to play bass guitar and drums along the way. He shocked his family by bringing rock n' roll into the house! Dave matured musically listening to Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Chicago and James Taylor.

Bob VandenBranden:

"Hello, I'm Robert VandenBranden. I play drums for MockingBird, a Kewaunee County-based folk rock band." "I was born in Green Bay Wisconsin in the fifty's era. I started playing drums at the young age of eight and have been playing for the last fifty plus years. My first experience with playing drums was on my mother’s pots and pans, which she was not happy about. I finally asked my father to show me how to play. (My Dad played in the Green Bay Packer Band, as well as dance bands for 36 years). He started teaching me on what they call a practice pad, which is nothing but a rubber pad on a wedge-shaped box to hit on. This was not what I wanted; so, at age 16, with my first paycheck, I bought my first set of drums. I taught myself to play the drums. In high school, my friends and I started a band called the "Pastimes". We played in that band for about 20 years." "Having stopped playing for a few years, I wanted to start playing again. Now, I got my wish in the band called 'Mockingbird'. The type of music we are playing is the music I grew up with, and it’s great. Come and see us when we play. Have fun, remember the music, and judge for yourself."
