Doug it was perfect! From Start to finish. You were a true professional. Everyone has commented on what an excellent performance you and the band gave. Superb vocals and excellent pacing and classy hosting. We couldn't have asked for more.

-- Jay Verzi, WBNR/WLNA Radio in the Hudson Valley
Doug Ferony was excellent!! He sang all the Sinatra favorites and sounded great! He brought back some of the great Rat Pack Vegas songs and other classic songs. His swing band was also excellent, it was a magical evening and we will all remember it for a long time! Highly recommended.
--Anna C. (New York, NY)
“I listened once to I Ain’t Got You. Great sound and presentation of all kinds of music, finishing off with a great arrangement of Bewitched. Listened again with headphones to find out why I like it so much. I pick up on bits of he style of Cab Calloway, Bobby Darin and Butch Stone(if anyone remembers him with Les Brown) This is a fun CD and I can imagine how much fun he would be live. Five Stars.”
-- Chris Nielson, WUKY-FM Lexington, Kentucky
Doug (and his band) were timely, professional and a pleasure to work with. Fantastic music. Highly recommended if you love/like Sinatra and all those great standards from the "rat pack" era. Doug even extended his set for us to play an extra half hour. A joy!
--Al Q. (Washingtonville, NY)
Doug was certainly all I had hoped for, and he certainly delivered. Very classy entertainment for our event. I'm getting all kinds of kudos about what a great job I did in booking Doug, so thanks for making me look good! I am certainly going to recommend Doug Ferony whenever I can. He was very courteous and had a stellar voice.
--Kevin B. (Philadelphia, PA)
Doug Ferony and orchestra were phenominal! I would highly recommend this swing band to anyone having a function and I would definitely go see Doug and his orchestra play in other venues.
--Fred Q. (Meadowlands, NJ)
I have hired Doug for several events and he has been wonderful! He is a great talent, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly reccommend him for any event.

1340 WALL Radio
New CD: "Time after Time"
Liner Notes from John Moultre
When I describe Doug Ferony, several adjectives come to mind ~ giving, gifted, sincere loving and yes, quite romantic. This recording is smooth and delicious from beginning to end !
Listen closely to the title song, "Time After Time". Doug interprets it with grace and style. It sets the mood for an enjoyable music experience. As a consummate profesional, Doug takes "Wee Small Hours" to a level that forces you to look at a sad side of love ~ with a slowly developing smile. You will experience an added dimension with Doug's rendering of "But Beautiful" and "You got to my Head".
Doug Ferony is ready to take his place among the top male vocalistswho sing American Popular Standards. Don't take my word for it ~ find out for yourself ! Enjoy "Angel Eyes", "A Smokey Bar Song" for those who have to deal with love in it's empty state.
My wife, Anne, and I have had the privilege of seeing Doug perform. "That's All" ~ the song we chose for our wedding. Now, you too, can enjoy this very special classic and perhaps make it your own.
For those who remember the late Billie Holliday, you will be delighted to know that Doug gives this great American Standard "Good Morning Heartache" the rich vocal pegs it deserves.
The musicianship in this recording is first rate. The piano renderings of Dena DeRose adds the color to make this effort lush. Doug's writing talents are displayed with an original composition, "I Love You So", which tells a wonderful story of growing and evolving love.
The arrangements are masterful and tasty. This recording will surely be featured on John Moultre's "A Sunday Kinf of Love" on 1340 WALL Radio, and other radio stations who feature jazz and American Popular Standards. This recording has got to be part of your musical library!
Ladies and Gentlemen ~ permit me to introduce "Time After Time", because it's about time for the very talented Doug Ferony.

RAIN & RAINBOWS WALKATHON
Guiding Eyes for the Blind
Dear Doug:
Our Sincere thanks to you and your band for providing such fabulous entertainment at Guiding Eyes' Rain & Rainbows Walk. You got rave reviews from our walkers and volunteers!
On the 20th anniversary of the Walkathon, the special events office added a number of new features to make the walkers' day in the park particularly festive. Your 12-piece group and your vocal renditions were by far the most popular new addition.
All proceeds from the Rain and Rainbows walk will go toward breeding and training guide dogs for blind men and woman. Each of the magnificent dogs we provide gives his or her partner a means of safe travel and an opportunity to have a richer, more active life.
We appreciate your support of this important fund-raising event for Guiding Eyes--and look forward to hearing your marvelous group again soon.
Sincerely,
William D. Badger
President
