band members. They are all professional. Thanks for the best
music ever." - Dennis B.

article Rog, you deserve it...but best of all you really are
a truly nice person with a big heart for everybody!!! A true
winner in my book!" - Martie
H.
"I
am so happy you will be performing at Waterfire again. That
night is the most exciting and awesome night of the year,
it's better than fireworks. They should rename it the night
you play "Water Fireworks" Your music and style
lights up the night better than Fourth of July." - Carol
"I
did have a great time Roger...never a bad one when you're
taking the stage...see you again at another venue...and then
WATERFIRE!!!" - Don

"Great
Article!! Your grand parents were the best. They loved
& nurtured you. I still remember them. What a wonderful
way to pay tribute to them by using the Ceresi name.
You did forget to mention Yank Ragosta as one on your
drum teachers. Do you remember when he would pick us
up for lessons. Thanks for teaching me my first drum
set groove." - B. Andrews

"Proud
to have known you in the 4th grade and continue that pride
today. Congrats, Roger. You've earned everything you've worked
so hard for. You gave your grandparents their reward for what
they did for you. Keep Rockin!" - A. C. Ciampanelli
"Roger
Ceresi's All Starz were fantastic! Roger can really get a
crowd up and dancing. He brings the audience in and makes
the evening fly by with his powerful voice and high energy.
You have not seen live music until you've seen Roger Cerrsi's
All Starz!!" - lmcduff3 in
"Warwick Beacon"
"Mr.
Ceresi is a true professional and a talented performer. He
can really get a crowd movig with his energy and powerful
vocals. For those who have not heard this mult-talented performer,
you are really missing out! Roger also has a trio and duo
that performs across the state." - lmcduff3 in Johnston
"Sun Rise"
"Good
morning Roger,. I love having you play here, you bring a great
energy and karma to the room." - Jeff, Owner Mariner
Grille
"...
comes from the inside out Roger! And I've seen you in action

you and your amazing voice and personality Roger, hope all
is well and I see you soon." - Kathleen
"Good
News! We have been playing your new Album on WOMR 92.1 fm
and WFMR 91.3 fm on not only my Blues show but on several
other shows and the response has been terrific. The Chuck
Berry song Back to Memphis that you cover is
updated perfectly with the horns and guitar and your spot
on vocals. The same applies to the Lloyd Price piece Questions
with the great drivin horn arrangement. Chuck Williss
Take It Like A Man takes you back to the swingin
glory days of the Savoy Ballroom. My personal fav is Snatchin
It Back. It has that new soul revival sound that we
all love. Take this as a compliment; it also sounds very Curtis
Delgado like. ON THE RIGHT TRACK is a killer new
album that is proof positive of our current Blues revival,
nice going!" - T Gandolfo, WOMR/WFMR Cape Cod Community
Radio
"Just
love your new CD "on the right track"...I do dance
aerobics to it every day!" - Lillian
"You
guys were great!" - Ron & Lucille (2011 WaterFire)
"It's
rare to find such a hoppin' sound these days, Mr. Ceresi.
Glad you're out there doing what you do!" - Melissa (2011
WaterFire)
"Another
great A+++ show with a band that holds the bar high musically
and the performance / entertainment expectation for the audience
as #1. A great song list with tempos that do not drive the
audience off the floor. Take care and see you soon for more
Ceresi Magic..." - Frank (re: WaterFire 2011)
"Yes,
it was wonderful. Thank you so much Roger, for coming out
again and joining us. Its always a pleasure to have
you in the Ballroom." - Kanoko (re: WaterFire 2011)
"Dear
Roger Ceresi and his amazing All Stars, A million thank-you's
for your outstanding performance this past Saturday May 28th,
2011. You put on an amazing show that kept the entire crowd
dancing and smiling. So from all of us at WaterFire and everyone
in attendance. Thank you, and we look forward to working with
you for an 8th straight year." Gary, WaterFire Providence
"Got
your new CD and its really sensational, much to my taste
with lots of R&B flavor. By the way, you sound a lot like
Curtis D. on Snatchin It Back, nice going."
- T. Gandolfo re: "On the Right Track"
"Dear
Mr. Ceresi, Had a blast listening to you & the band Saturday
night. Incredible energy! I was the one extending my tripod
up to the performers. I've posted some extracted frames from
the videos I shot Saturday night and placed them here http://gallery.me.com/imagesdv#100414&bgcolor=black&view=grid.
The first 15 were shot from 100 feet away (again, these are
video frames, 30 every second, not still pictures). The rest
were near the stage or dance floor........ Thanks, and again
I thought the band was super!" - Wayne, re: Waterfire
on 9/17/10
"Hey
guys! Thank you SOOO much for a top notch evening Saturday!
As always, the band was on fire! The benefit raised approx
$6500 I believe (waiting on final figures still...). For sure,
that was in large part due to the All Starz headlining the
event!!! You guys are the best!!!" - Stacy re: 2010 Benefit
for Mt. Hope Learning Center

Radio Station. I also am on the Program Committee and serve

"Definitely

it going.... by #10 we will submit a request to rename the
event to RogerFire and the Boyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!" -
Frank (re: 2010 Waterfire)
"Hi
Roger, I was at Duffy's on Sunday, dancing to the most wonderful
music loved it. But what I loved just as much, is the fact
that you mentioned our service people a few times, reminding
everyone that we had a great time because our military people
are protecting us. Just want to say "Thanks" and
keep right on reminding people that freedom is not free. I
really appreciate what you do-musically and in other ways,
too! Thanks." - Pat
"Roger,
I want to thank you so much for making our evening so special
with great music and the special anniversary announcement!!
My girlfriend was feeling a little dizzy from all the spins,
but when she heard the announcement and saw everyone looking
at us and clapping, it made her feel really special!! Thank
you for being so kind and making a truly magical and memorable
evening for us!" - Liam (and Michelle!)
"Roger,
It was a true pleasure meeting you last Sunday!!!! I really

You and the All Starz sounded great at Saturdays Swinging

particular performance was exceptional. I know a lot of hard
work is involved in creating such a cohesive unit, you guys
make it sound as easy and as natural as breathing. I look
forward to catching you again when the opportunity arises."
- Shirley
"Roger,
None-the-less it was fabulous to see, hear and dance to the
driving force you and your talented musicians comprise. Great
balance, fabulous sound with your bass cabinets pumping the
low end, effective song lists and your sense of humor to back
up your great voice, made it an irresistible combination keyed
for all to get up and dance.... You've got it down so keep
on doing it and we will all see you again..." - Frank

You ROCK Man!" - Rick

was absolutely great to see and hear you yesterday. It just

through to the core of the mind and soul while captivating
the body. Although I am a Narra RI resident, I live in Northern
Las Vegas from October until June where my two grown sons
teach school. Do you ever get out to Las Vegas?? If so, I

He liked the fact that you had been a drummer turned vocalist."
- Lois (re: Naragansett Inn gig)
"Roger,
You guys were outstanding!!!! Just when you think it can't
get any better, you guys go above and beyond!! It is such

a great time! I soo love my music/ soo love to dance. -

It's
Monday. It's raining and so dreary out. I need to be doing
100 errands all about. I climb up into my beloved Ford Explorer
and hit the road. Of course the radio don't have nothin but
bad on it. So, I say a prayer for all of our soldiers in harm's
way and wish they could hear your CD that I click in. All
of a sudden me and my truck are just a ball of sunshine tooling
down the road! I'm just radiating all kinds of love and happiness
into the world fueled by your powerful voice. Up comes two
of my most favorite tunes, "Bouncin Back" and "Key
to My Kingdom." Roger, I swear, your awesome voice gives
me chills and my eyes well from the joy fillin up my soul.
It sure don't get no better than this! Listening to your CD
was but a quick fix. I'm jones-in to hear you live. I'll be
hunting you down soon! So thanks for being a light in my life.
I love you Buddy.- Lynne
I
don't think Worcester will be the same after that rockin and
reelin show you and the All Starz put on Saturday. Make my
day!! - George
I
heard you last night on the "swing" radio station.
Awesome! Hope to see you soon. - Mace
What
a night!!!!---Last Saturday all the dancin cats came out to
boogie!!!. The Swingin 88s dance featured Roger Ceresi and
the All Starz--we were hoping for 100 people we got over 170---the
band rocked hard, the dancers danced hard, Right Guard broke
down, people from Massachusetts parked inappropriately and
Lenny and Liz did a dance that few could identify but all
enjoyed. - Swing Daddy
Just
wanted to tell you again that I thought you were fabulous!!!
We will definitely be running into each other again. -
Alley Shanahan
Thank
you for always having fun and playing hard! This bad ass band
of yours brings a lot of life into all that come to see you!
I especially get a kick of how you and the "boys"
really seem to enjoy being on stage performing and watching
the crowd react to you! - David Colardo
Roger---this
cd is SMOKIN !!!!!!!!!---My favorite is #10---Five Months------but
all the tracks are really good---sound is good too---NICE
JOB!!! - Swing Daddy
I
just wanted to know when you will be coming to the Union Blues
or anywhere in the Worcester area. We saw you there in August
and loved the show! - Dan Kuzmak
Roger
you looked so good I just wanted to bite your dimples right
off your face. AND you sounded fantastic, better than ever.
No kidding. That was the fasted hour of time to pass. I couldn't
believe when yous finished. We wanted MORE! It is just
so wonderful to just forget about all the troubles in the
world and get lost in your orbiting songs and music. YOU are
rockin and roaring! - Lynne
When
will you be in Connecticut again? You're fabulous! -Sharon
N.

the songs on the cd, I like them all, but if I had to pick
favorites, I would say Dance with me, Reelin and rockin, What
can I do, Lucille, A good fool..., Sea Cruise. All of the
songs are great picks! - Paula Bains

tell you how much you and you band can make someone's day!!!

My
wife and I caught your show last night at the Hi Hat. Great
show! You guys are a lot of fun to listen to and watch. I
travel a great deal and hear some of the best bands in the
country, but rarely get out when I am home in Rhode Island.
I am glad we got out last night. You have two new fans! -

about you and your music

And
the band was at their best last Sunday, you have amazing audience
contact, It is very obvious that the whole band loves what
they are doing. - Alan, Promoter & Dance Instructer

We
can't thank you all enough for your support....without the
bands, we wouldn't have any where near the crowds we have...and
thus no where near the donation...they come for you. We've
been lucky to have the best bands around donate their time.
You all rocked like mad.....our dancers love you all, as do
we. Again, saying thank you just doesn't seem enough. You
are the BEST!!! - Stacy Benefit Chair Swingin' 88's
Great
show as always! - Randylyn Masse
Great
job last night ! You sang your heart out for the people and
they could feel the vibe !! It was a pleasure to sit with

regularly over the months. I will get out to dance and listen
again to your fine band. - Frank Procaccini
