Reggie Smith is the best front man in the city, and surrounds himself with heavy hitters schooled in blues, jazz, funk, and everything between.
We have our first live album EP available for consumption for $5 at shows. If you want us to mail you a copy please send check or money order to Nick Klaver, Blue Fish Music, 744 Starkweather St., Plymouth, MI 48170

I miss this fabulous music! I cannot wait to be able to come to a show. I think July 10 is the next one that does not happen during working hours! !OCHEN HARASHOA! (very good, in Russian)
We love the new CD and had a great time hanging out last weekend. My parents are up from FL and we are going to try to have them see you at one of the events this weekend so that they know you before the big wedding on 9-19-09 (you should change your calendar) :-)
Hey Reggie, what's up bro? I heaven't seen you in ages. I miss ya man! I hope everything's going well for you. We transformed the band into the Christina Chriss Band. Check us out at chrictinachriss.com We need to do a show together sometime (I finally got my saxophone fixed and she's a beauty).
Hi Reggie & The After Party, Thank you for your friendship. It was a "Pleasure" to meet such "Classy, Intelligent, Gifted", Muscians" at Niki's. Best Wishes to you in all of your "Endeavors". Sincerely, Todd
Guys! It's been way too long man. They've got me working in Austria now!! I guess The Work Don't Ever Stop is still my theme song. The beer is great and I've actually found a few pretty decent jazz clubs around here. Who would have thought? I definitly need to catch you guys when I get back in town again.
Yes we are inviting you to our shows this weekend and yes it is because we are just like any other musicians who crave large audiences and attention. BUT, the one difference is that on Saturday night, along with giving out a bunch of cd's, we have a professional photographer coming in all night to do candid and staged shots of the band and audience. So, if you'd like to get your mug in a pro shot that might just end up as one of our future promo shots, come on out to the Woodshed in Clio on Friday and/or Saturday night, we hope to see you there!
Hey guys sorry I won't be able to make it to any of your shows... the whole not being 21 thing has really got me down.
P.S. I wanted to hire you guys for my graduation party this Saturday but i decided to go for the 20$ a band member 12 song set, being performed by SpiderQueen They tend to Rock out with their cocks out...how could I turn down dinner and a show. Not that you guys don't Totally rock the socks off some barely legals. I love you guys and You're all still invited. 6 pm - our house in Novi.
