Why We Do It
 

Why we do what we do...

Simply put, we love music and we love to entertain! Once you see us live, you'll understand what we're talking about.

 

Here's what others have said about our music and our shows

 

EVERY PARKING SPACE FILLED!!

"We recently featured the funky classic rock and blues band CruiseMachine as a part of our Saturday evening concert series at Dunn Bros Coffee in North Aurora, IL.  Before we ever heard them we were very impressed with their professionalism.  They provided us with posters and fliers a month in advance, and confirmed the date the day before the concert.  CruiseMachine brought in the largest crowd we have ever seen for our Saturday evening concert series!  Every space in the parking lot was filled, and the evening was a huge success for our business.  Their music was highly energetic and fun-filled to the point people got up and began dancing!  CruiseMachine even made up lyrics to one song with our Dunn Bros name in them.  We highly recommend this group, and we can't wait to have them join us again in the future."

A BAND THAT PACKS THE HOUSE!

"CruiseMachine is a band that packs the house and packs a punch!  CruiseMachine has never failed to rock Daniel's Den.  They always get the crowd fired up and on their feet.  I book a lot of bands, but my favorite is CruiseMachine."

Rock and roll you can sink your teeth into!

"Cruise Machine. Rock and roll you can sink your teeth into! Blues infused rock with a retro vibe to it. You will be listening to this at high volume. Dia has vocals that are very powerful with a blues edge to them. I found myself "cruisin along" to Cruise Machine. If you like blues and you like some good clean rock and roll, Cruise Machine is for you!"

Rock & Blues Road Trip

"When it comes to Rock and Blues, CruiseMachine's CD, "V8" is all you need.

From the poppy, groovin' "Rescue Me", to the rockin' "Can't Take It With You", a drive-by packed with blues tunes, "V8" is ready for a rock and blues road trip!

The lyrics and vocals are emotionally charged with honesty and feelings.
The music has a bare blues, stripped down quality - an excellent kick of electric guitar riffs mixed in with emotional harmonica sounds."

Get it.
Put it on.
Enjoy the ride!

CRUISEMACHINE IS AN EXTREMELY VERSATILE AND TALENTED BAND

"When CruiseMachine performed at the annual Grundy County Corn Festival in Morris, they rocked the place with a great mix of classic rock and roll and contemporary Christian music. People of all ages were pulled in by the music and up on their feet dancing."

"Their music is just fun and wonderful to listen to. This is a tribute to their talents. They also bring some unique sounds by integrating different instruments into making their performance entertaining as well. They obviously enjoy what they do and each other making their presence contagious throughout the audience.

We enjoy having them at our cafe and recommend them highly."

A PARTY WITH CRUISEMACHINE

"CruiseMachine definitely brought the party to Maple Avenue Pub. On top of being a very talented group of musicians, CM is like hiring a party planner for an event. They know how to play to the crowd and keep the entertainment level set on BLAST! I can’t wait to have them back, but I may need a bigger beer cooler to keep up with them."

ROCKING OUT THE DEN!

"One of the most impressive blues/rock bands that have performed at the Den. This group has a lot of talent behind them; I can’t wait till they return."

ON FIRE!

CruiseMachine set our place on fire last Friday night. The band had the house rockin' and it seemed like half the bar was on the dance floor. Most of the regulars came up to me and said that this was the best band we'd had in here in a long time. As a matter of fact we booked them to 3 more shows before they had even finished the 3rd set. I deal with a lot of bands coming through our club, CruiseMachine set the bar for judging other bands. Their selection of songs kept the show entertaining and enjoyable all night long, right up to the last song. We didn't want them to stop! Two thumbs up and a standing ovation for CruiseMachine.
