Dear Ted,
I have thoroughly enjoyed having you as an individual singer as well as The Unlikely Heroes performing for Mount Olive College and the North Carolina Pickle Festival in Mount Olive, North Carolina. Over the years, I have utilized your band and have been extremely pleased. As a Christian college, the message that you share through your ministry of songs and testimonies is inspiring. It is exactly the message that we want our students to hear and live by. Thank you for sharing Gods love with my students. As a band, you have been very professional from the time of booking through the actual performance. You are friendly, easy to work with and willing to adapt according to schedule and venue changes. For that, I thank you. Finally, I want to personally express my gratitude for the outstanding performance at our recent North Carolina Pickle Festival. Your band was a crowd attention getter and your newfound fans loved you. This proves to me that your band, Unlikely Heroes, is capable of performing at small venues like churches and small colleges and in large venues like festivals. I look forward to working with you in the future.
God Bless,
Julie R. Beck,
Director of Student Activities
Mount Olive College

We have used several musicians since the inception of our Aromas Coffee House two years ago, (2006) and we have been fortunate to have good music each month. However, there was a significant response of appreciation for the music of the Unlikely Heroes. They blessed us with innovative, relevant, energetic and meaningful sounds and lyrics that greatly enhanced the Christian atmosphere we seek to provide for our coffee house experience. Folks were asking for them to return and we will be trying to get on their schedule often!

I was very impressed at the talent and professionalism of Unlikely Heroes. The clean bluesy guitar and the classic Hammond organ sound mixed perfectly with the back beat of the bass and drums. I appreciate the way Unlikely Heroes articulated the love of God and proclaimed the good news of Jesus Christ through their Bible based Christian lyrics. It was a night that the CAFe' Coffeehouse won't soon forget and we hope that you can squeeze us into your busy calendar again ASAP.
Again, Thank You and May God Bless Unlikely Heroes.

"The band Unlikely Heroes is a group of four men who thoroughly enjoy what they are doing and why they are doing it. They took a type of music that they are each in love with and used it as an avenue to share not only their love for Christ, but the love of Christ in a courteous and insightful manner. I would recommend them to you for a music ministry."
