“I'm still doing my dancing "thing".  I've met such nice people thru my dance club and various dances I go to.  I went to Prairie Meadows last night and danced to the Echos V.   Several of the Dance Club members were out there and we kept the floor hot.  I just love their music, especially their medley of the Beach Boys.  I swear they sound like the originals!”

" Each year, questions arise as to why some groups qualify for induction into the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, while others do not. No one has ever questioned the credentials of The Echo's V. You could very talented, entertaining, pioneers, longevity, excellent role models, dedicated to preserving good old Rock 'n Roll music and just plain great people. They never cease to amaze me on how good they really are!"       
~ John Senn, President, Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association ~

"When it comes to Rock & Roll bands in the Midwest, The Echo's V can't be beat! They are dedicated musicians ... real professionals to work with and always provide great fun!"       
~ the late Dic Youngs, former Legendary DJ @ KIOA Radio ~

GREAT JOB at the Prairie City Days!  It was a beautiful "Americana" setting in the town square with the day being completed listening to The Echo's V. The weather was perfect and everyone enjoyed sitting in their lawn chairs listening to your band play. It was a Norman Rockwell setting. Thank you for a fun night and see you at the Iowa State "Sounds Like Fun" Fair!

"The Echo's V are truly an Iowa Rock & Roll legend! For more than 30 years, they have filled dance halls and entertainment venues of the Midwest with their mastery of our favorite songs from the golden era of Rock & Roll.  If there was a category of 'favorite sons' of the Val Air Ballroom, The Echo's V would be at the top of that list."       
~ M.K., Former President, Val Air Ballroom ~

Whether it's the Val Air Ballroom on New Year's Eve or Prairie Meadows on a Friday night, these guys are a definite must hear!

We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your music on New Year's Eve at the Val Air.  We noticed so many people that were listening, dancing and enjoying your music left when Paul Revere began to play.  Any news on the CD?  See you at Prairie Meadows in February.

Rick, will you please pass on my thanks to the rest of The Echo's V? What a fabulous time everyone had at the Auction Saturday night! Every single person I talked to commented on how great the band was. I do attribute the increase in attendance and fun to The Echo's V. Thanks, again.

On behalf of the Clipped Wings organization, a BIG thank you for volunteering to play for the Parents/Guardian Reception at the Special Olympic National Games. We wish the weather had cooperated a little longer so more people could have enjoyed the great music of The Echo's V. The local "Echo's V" groupies will see you next week at the Iowa State Fair on the Bill Riley Stage wooing the crowds again! Again, a BIG thank you for your time and effort. It is always a pleasure to see the band perform. You make everyone smile!
