"This
letter is in support of Fred Campbell who has provided music for our club multiple times this year and in previous years.
The club members consider him one of the favorite musicians we employ. Since the club meets twice each month
with music for dancing and entertainment each meeting, we have become very familiar with the various musical groups performing
in the area. Attendance at our meetings range from between 130 in the summer months and up to 250 in the remaining months.
Fred goes out of his way at our meetings to perform music and songs that are requested by our members. He always arrives early
to set up in order not to interfere with our business meeting prior to his performance. He is especially personable
while being very professional in his mannerisms. Our club members follow their favorite musical groups to their performances
outside the club. I highly recommend him as a musician who can easily perform and entertain at any type of gathering." Dr.
Helen Chun, Vice President, The Villages Singles Club, Lady Lake, FL
Wedding Ceremony and Reception where I was asked to DJ, Sing, MC and obtain songs from their customized list,
plus requests from their family and guests all night long. Overall rating was excellent. "I can't emphasize the importance
of an experienced DJ/Entertainer! When the photo session set our timeline off 45 minutes, we had to make some quick changes.
Fred was able to make a seemless adaptation. The flow of the event continued without the guests realizing that modifications
had to be made! He accommodated our custom song list that ranged from Louis Armstrong to Lady GaGa. Every special request
was met at the event. I definitely recommend Fred Campbell as an Entertainer and/or DJ!!!!" Linda Marando, mother
of the bride who hired me for a wedding at Black Diamond Ranch Country Club, Lecanto, FL on June 25, 2011.
"You did an excellent job and I have absolutely no complaints. You were wonderful
and very kind. We enjoyed having you as our DJ. We loved seeing you get out there to teach everyone the Cupid Shuffle!"
Katie Bell for her wedding ceremony and reception at The Lange Farm/Garden House on May 1, 2011
"I have received nothing but raves for the evening and Fred, your performances
were great! Everyone loved it." Judy Curth who booked me for a 50's & 60's Sock Hop where I sang the oldies,
played requests for oldies, plus I gave them a history of select oldies songs regarding the song writer, artist who sang it
and other interesting facts about Rock N' Roll trivia. Coconut Cove, The Villages, Lady Lake, Florida, event date on February
9, 2011
"Thank you for the fun entertainment for my Surprise Birthday Party
on January 18th at the Crown & Shield restaurant in the Royal Highlands. You handled the requests very well and worked
them into the proper setting-before dinner, during dinner, after dinner and during Ken's presentation. Job well done!"-Lael
Lawn-resident of Royal Highlands, Leesburg, FL
"I hire the entertainment
for the Inverness Elks Lodge # 2522. Mr. Fred Campbell has played there several times and we have him coming back a
lot in the future. He plays a variety of music, asks the people what they want to hear before work and does a nice job.
I would recommend him for your place of business and see if you feel the same way we do. He gives 100% and doesn't even take
a break." Sue Marchetti, Entertainment Committee

"Fred
Campbell performed for our Round Up Night and he was absolutely fabulous (which he always is). He was prompt and ready to
go well before the party ever began. We especially loved his western attire; which fit it with the evenings theme. Fred's
personality and talent create a win-win situation for everyone. His vocals, music venue, and overall enthusiasm gets the crowd
motivated. We received numerous phone calls and emails complimenting our choice of entertainment; which is why Fred is
coming back in October for our Halloween Party. You just can't top the BEST!" Sandy Jankowski, Candler Connection,
Candler Hills Country Club, On Top Of The World, Ocala, FL 7-18-10
"I had the pleasure
of observing and enjoying Mr. Fred Campbell perform for our residents at Steeplechase. I had heard that the residents loved
him and I found out why. Combined with a wonderful voice, Fred is a natural with his audience and knows how to get them
to be interactive. In addition to choosing selections they related to and enjoyed, Mr. Campbell is a music historian and incorporates
that knowledge into his performance. He was great! I can't wait to have him back." Sarah Weinreb, Activity Director,
Steeplechase Retirement Residence, Oxford, Fl
"Fred,
you are the best. Our "Bandstand" (Sock Hop) dance was wonderful and the residents are still talking about it. Your
music selection was right on and all the contests were great (hula hoop, jitter bug & twist). By the way, you have a wonderful
voice. (Additional excerpts in the Daily Sun at the Continental Country Club)"Fred puts on a special show. He doesn't
simply play oldies music, he knows the history behind almost every song and he actually sings the lyrics. Everyone was exhausted
(from the dances and contests)-or exhausted from laughing. Can't wait until next years dance." Sock
Hop on March 21, 2010 at Continental Country Club, Wildwood, FL, Carol Cane, Activities Director

He interacted with the group and made the event so much fun! Any future events that I plan, Fred is "The Man"."
(I sang and DJ'd for Bob Dube's 90th birthday party at Laurel Manor Country Club, The Villages, FL. I focused on songs
from the 1930's and 1980's, took requests plus I showed them how to line dance to the Cupid Shuffle, Cha Cha Slide
and much more) Susan Beville, Ocala, FL
"Fred,
you were great! We are looking forward to your return!" Antonio Crews, Event Manager for On Top Of The World, Ocala,
Florida when I performed for the Grand Opening of the Gazebo at Circle Square Commons for over 400 people. I sang the
50's and 60's songs from my Old Time Rock N' Roll Revue for over 3 hours on April 19, 2008. Everyone danced to The Stroll,
The Twist, doing the Jitterbug and yes, they were even line dancing the whole night too.
"Fred, as usual you did an excellent job. Eveyone was pleased and are looking forward to July."
Dave Guildford, Manager of the Arbor Club at On Top Of The World when I sang and DJ'd for 3 hours for the Happy Hour on
April 25, 2008. The theme was Parrot Head, so I sang lots of Jimmy Buffett, Beach Boys and oldies.
"When we look for entertainers for the Sumter County Chamber of Commerce, we look
for those who can accommodate a wide variety of requests and can appeal to guests from various age groups and diverse backgrounds.
Fred really supported our country western theme and worked well with our other vendors. He was able to select the type
of music that appealed to our crowd and he really kept the party going. We recommend him without reservation.
Fred Campbell is a "10", Lee Ann Carr, Director of Sumter County Chamber of Commerce regarding Casino Night/Country
Western Theme fund raiser on Friday, July 17, 2009.
"Fred
did a great job at the Candler Hills Community Barbeque. He played a variety of different music selections with only 1 short
break. He took requests from the crowd and he had everyone up and dancing to the music. After the event, we heard many positive
comments about Fred from people who attended. We would certainly recommend him to play/perform at any event."-Bruce and
Carol Venslavsky for fund raiser at On Top Of The World in Ocala on April 12, 2008 where I sang for over 2 hours plus
DJ.
"Fred was PERFECT! I had a HUGE list of songs
I wanted played all thoughout the entire reception, and he played EVERYTHING at the right time! He honestly MADE the party.
Everybody had so much fun, that's all I've heard to this day, a week after the wedding! Plus, my dad, who plays saxophone
in an oldies band, wanted to play along to our first dance song & to a couple other songs, & Fred handled that perfect,
& he actually sang along with my dad playing the sax, & it sounded AMAZING! Everybody was so impressed. I was truly
in heaven the whole reception, because everything was perfect because of Fred's professionalism & accuracy. NONE of us
wanted the party to end! And his announcements with each song was perfect too, especially because I had so many dedications!
So thank you so much Fred for making my wedding a DREAM COME TRUE!" ---Elizabeth Dryden, Bride from her wedding held at Brooksville Country Club, Brooksville, FL-March 8, 2008
"I have used Fred Campbell as my primary entertainer since November
2003. I recommended Fred for all types of events at the Best Western of Brooksville, Florida, where we provided the food and
Fred provided the entertainment for weddings, parties and special events... Fred has been hosting Karaoke at Max Grill in
the Best Western of Brooksville. I have received many comments from customers that Fred consistently provides the best Karaoke
experience. Since Fred is a professional singer, he not only entertains with the songs he sings, but he sings duets and
provides harmony for karaoke singers. Fred's selection of Karaoke songs, top quality PA system, along with his ability
to mix the sound as people are singing sets him apart from his competition... Whether the event called for a DJ,
Karaoke Jockey, Professional Singer or Emcee, Fred provided what was needed. We always received excellent feedback about Fred
from our clients. Fred is an all around true professional. He is adaptable to any situation and someone you can count on.
He has the ability to to read an audience and provide the appropriate music for each occasion. I will continue to use Fred
Campbell exclusively. I highly recommend Fred Campbell for your entertainment needs." "Papa" Joe Giarratana, (Papa
Joe's Pizza Pasta Restaurant, Brooksville, FL)

"The Bandshell Bash! was graced with the performance
of Fred Campbell in February and March...who performed before crowds estimated at over a thousand each month and kept attendees
riveted with his song selection of oldies that everyone knew the words to. Mr. Campbell did a wonderful job of working the
crowd and keeping their interest focused on his performance. Additionally, his act was appropriate for crowds of all ages
which was important since our event is publicized as family-friendly.
Raymond Hess, (Bandshell Bash! Committee Member)
