Saw you guys at Mt. Abrams and loved the band. It was the perfect cap off on an
already great spring day at the mountain - Lots of fun! Thank you so much for
letting my daughters 'play' with the band. It had a BIG impact on both of them
especially my oldest who said it was the greatest day of her life. I think she
enjoyed herself and I so did we.

great sound!! I'm so proud of all of you! I've been listening to you in between
teaching my first graders-I even played a song for the class, and they danced
around the room. I get goose bumps each time I hear Brian play his saxophone.
Thanks for being who you are-you make a great team. I can already see your name
in lights-continue to believe and claim it-it's truly out there-it's already
been given to you!! God Bless you all.

Saw you guys at Kenny's Castaways last night. I was there for the Marillion
listening party but thankfully stayed for your sets. You guys really blew me
away. I'm a big fan of Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire, so I love the horns. I
left midway into the second set and I hope you didn't play any EWF songs after I
left. I picked up your CD and I'm listening to it for the first time. Sounds
great. I hope to catch you back in NYC soon.

Ok guys...I think its official. I am a Sly-Chi Groupie. You sounded so awesome last night. It was like there was a party in my mouth and everyone was invited...ok, but seriously, you guys rocked the ski lodge. Looking forwarded to taking the night off so I can hit up the Big Easy tomorrow eve. You should be very proud of your talents and accomplishments. Rock on!

Hey Matt and the Sly Chi gang!! Hope things with you all are rocking right along! Annie and I wanted to thank you again and again and again for bringing the funk to our wedding. The comments are still coming in on how you guys kicked arse and threw down some serious fun! Unbelievable. This past year was the year of the wedding and we went to 7 weddings over the summer. Hands down, you guys trumped all other bands and DJ's. We are even getting comments on your epic performance from people who just got married. Best time they ever had, even better than their own wedding!! Can't wait for the new CD. Keep on rocking.

You guys are a unique Band that posses a talent rarely seen in a a band. It is definitely time to break out of Maine and conquer. There is a market out there. Go back to Motown and some of the oldies, that is what people enjoyed the most not that your new material is not good. There is a forgotten generation out there and you were feeding it. I miss you guys and can't wait to some sit back down and play with one of Maines TOP premier band. SLY_CHI.

Simply amazing! Despite the rain at the Yarmouth Clam Festival, you guys rocked what was left of the crowd and enchanted everyone within earshot. As I headed home for the evening, I overheard some guys emphatically saying that they were going to look you up on-line. That's just what I did. I'm sure there are others out there who will do the same. Kudos to you!

Your band comprises 9 of the most talented and intelligent musicians that I have ever seen live. I must have seen over 60 other performers within the past 8 years. Your music is original, heart pumping and really gets people on their feet and moving (even if they cannot dance-ha,ha). I would recommend going to see one of your shows to anyone who wants to let go of the usual day to day stress and let the rhythm relax their soul.

You do more than justice to funk and its masters with your rich and fresh take on the classics. Just bought your new cd and can't wait for it to get here.

Hey Y'ALL! Greetings from the the sunny state of Florida! Matt, it's been a looong time since you and I have played together! Remember the orchestra and big band at USM! You and that double D...crazy, poppi. I really dig that tune Animo. Pretty hip. From what I've heard y'all sound pretty tight. You guys have any arrangements to sell? I'd be interested in getting some to play in my Navy band down here (The L-I-B, aka Liberty). I'll be buying a CD next payday. I'll have to see if I can afford a plane ticket up north to hear y'all. I miss Portland!! Matt, take me to that floating restaurant in the Old Port...been 11 or 12 years since I've been up there! Keep it real.

Hey you guys are awesome. Yep sounds like an echo as this is what I said at your Boothbay Harbor show 6.23.05. After talking to some of the other sailors they said the same thing. I fully expect to see your name up in lights soon! Really, your band is together. Don't let anything pull it apart. In bands like yous(everybody is a "player") there are so many things that can nip and tear the cohesiveness as more attention is paid to the shows and music. Ever hear of Human Radio? They made one great CD and fell apart. As a lover/promoter of music for the last little while, the syndrome and it's mechanics are well known to me. As the saying goes, it's when things start clicking, that you need to start paying close attention. I hope this note was helpful, it's so hard to make it...I have seen many struggle and fail. Don't let Sly-Chi be the next crazy bad ass band that disappears into the silent nothing. Bryan

As the saying goes, it's when things start clicking, that you need to start paying close attention. I hope this note was helpful, it's so hard to make it...I have seen many struggle and fail. Don't let Sly-Chi be the next crazy bad ass band that disappears into the silent nothing. Bryan

I saw you guys for the first time last night purely through serendipity. I had finished a gig at the Commercial Street pub, and decided to walk up to the Big Easy with a buddy to see what was happening. What's the best way to put this?..."Oh my God!". You were awesome...full of energy...tickled the senses. No one can resist moving to your music. I hope the whole world finds you quickly. (Kate's easy on the eyes too!)

Hey Folks, sorry the guestbook was out of commission for a while - I didn't realize it until I tried to post a message myself! I want to encourage everyone to check out the Sly-Chi Music Cruises this summer (there are 7 total - see calendar page for dates & details). They're sure to be a good time and the band's really hoping to draw crowds, so could use the support of its fans! First one's on July 1 - hope to see you there!

Your 2003 CD is ripping. Linda Sibley Clark turned us on to it this weekend at Ocean Point. After several cocktails, some red wine she said "check this out." You guys are tight, funky, kick ass. When is the next CD???? Brooks Clark, Bayard's older bro.

Hey, i grew up with Raf. He's always been the man. Whenever i see the band, he throws in a death metal trill on the bass for old times sake. This band is super talented, all the way around.

Born and raised in Maine, I've never enjoyed a Portland show more than one on a Tuesday night at the Big Easy to observe and groove to the thrills of Sly-Chi. I'm trying to make it next weekend to Free Street. I recently moved to Boston and I'm barely surviving on the cd, so when are you guys going to get down on it down here?

Heard a lot about your band...am anxious to see it! Thank Alisha for your free advertising! Plan on coming into Portland soon to see the show!

Hey there. I just saw you guys at Sunday River. You were fantastic. We had so much fun. We live in Portland so we're going to try and check out your show on 2/12. Looking forward to it.

MY GOD why the hell do I have to be in Phoenix, where the music scene is all electro and hip-hop (not that there's anything wrond with that) when, back in my home state, the bestest music can be heard, epitomized by you'all? I don't think there is an answer for that question. Not a good one, anyways. Oh well, glad to see it's all workin' out.

Happy 2005 from your #1 fan in Vermont! Who else has a personally autographed copy of your first CD? In fact, I'm listening to it now....what a great way to start the day! Are there plans in the works for another CD? How about another trip to Vermont? Either way, I guarantee that I will be traveling to Portland and The Big Easy when time allows...I have to get my fix for what I truly believe to be the best sound I've heard in a very long time. You guys rock! Best wishes to you all for a musical and prosperous New Year! P.S. AWESOME job on the website....way, way, way cool.

Good morning, My name is Sharon Kiley, I have the pleasure of working with Matt Day at UnumProvident. Matt on behalf of your band provided a donation to our Christmas family and I wanted you all to know how exceptional it is to know a group of young musicians that freely give to help others. I plan to get some co-workers together after the holidays to come see your band perform. God bless you all.. And THANK YOU on behalf of our Holiday family.
