The Word On The Street
"It says a lot that a group of guys can show up at almost any club/venue in this whole region--and not only get away with playing a full night of all original music---but instrumental original music that can't be quickly categorized and put in a bin with the "last thing that sounded close". Face it, TBU is truly original. Fact is, I can't quite describe what they do--but it draws on all of the things I love the most about good music...talented players, good vision and a heck of alot of passion. Nobody can deny that."
-Ken M., musician.
"Ya know, here's the thing...I come to Peppers every time I hear that you guys are going to be here. I make it to Philly when I can--but the point is like I told my friend, Brad. With these guys, you never know who or what kind of great talent you're going to see here. Sometimes they feature a sax guy (like tonight) sometimes there's an incredible guitarist who just happens to be sitting in..and one time I saw them and they had this cool spoken word dude and a singer. No matter what the line-up happens to be---you can be sure that they are incredible and have a great respect for each other---and us!!
Make no mistake, this is not a "jam band". These guys know music, they know the crowd and they know how to bring th two together. "

"We were skeptical at first to add a band to our annual Eagle National Bank 5k walk/run, when we finally decided to have The Big Unkle, it certainly proved to be a huge success! They definitely were able to draw in the crowd, and the participants loved the music! They did a great job keeping up with the flow of the event and they really entertained us all! They definitely exceeded our expectations we have already booked them for next year’s event!"

"I’ve been a fan of The Big Unkle for a few years and have enjoyed their music, energy, and stage presence. When we were discussing entertainment options for our annual Youth Rally/Family Day program, I decided to call them. We had never had live music at the event before but we thought it would add to the festival atmosphere. We were right. TBU delivered a great show for us and even involved some of our youth participants in one of their songs. They brought a tremendous level of energy to the event and really kept things moving. They’re already on my call list for our next event."

"I must admit, we weren’t sure that having a band at our annual induction banquet was the right thing to do but we wanted to spice it up and decided to give it a try – and I’m awfully glad we did.
Big Unkle’s playing during our social hour and throughout dinner really made a huge difference. We’ve received nothing but compliments on the night and a lot of praises went your way. Not only for your music, which was superb, but also for the professionalism you all showed throughout our event. From start to finish, you guys were first class all the way, punctual, polite and most importantly, great with the crowd.
So impressed was my board of directors, that they’ve asked me to extend an invitation to have Big Unkle back every year at our annual induction banquet. I sincerely hope you will join us and become a permanent addition to our organization.
Thank you for a job well done!"
With gratitude,

"Last summer Sam's Club decided to add live music to enhance one of our summer outdoor/parking lot fundraisers for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's (CHOP) Miracle Network. These are typically fun filled, events complete with give-aways, face-painting, free hot dogs, frisbees and activities for the entire family. The idea is simple--- to involve our customers, employees and the entire community in an effort the motivates them to support this very worthy cause. Every year we search for creative ways to improve the event, entertain our customers and raise more money. The addition of The Big Unkle to the program helped us do just that! Our collections broke records that day. The band was all pro. Great with the crowd. The music was great and not only attracted people--it kept them there. I hope we see The Big Unkle next year."
