    October 3rd, 2009: Dennis Keith Band at EGAN/FUNK wedding reception

    DENNIS KEITH BAND performed at the EGAN/FUNK wedding in SHIRLEY, ILLINOIS.  The venue was in a tent – do you remember that it was raining – hard??  Even though the weather did not cooperate, the party was a huge success.  The food was wonderful, and the view…..up on a little hill and gorgeous.  The Band played everything from Michael Jackson to Estelle and had the crowd rocking until late.  Boy it was dark out in the middle of a corn field!!

    Boy – what an AMAZING wedding reception in WAUSAU; laser show, slide show and the DENNIS KEITH BAND 15 performer group packing the dance floor to capacity for the JUEDES/GAFFANEY wedding reception.  The venue was the GRAND THEATRE which is part of the historic Artsblock in WAUSAU, WI.  The attendees consisted of mainly 20-30 year olds, all having the best time on the dance floor.  RANDY VERHASSELT was the event planner and everything went on throughout the evening without a hitch.  Randy is a great person to work with and truly creative.
