After seeing Mr. Speed showcase at OF&EA I knew they were a great band but I resisted hiring them for 3 years because I didn't think our community would be receptive to their show. I felt we were a ”Country” and “Oldies” community. However, when a number of our directors expressed their enthusiasm for Mr. Speed, we hired them. The result is they have drawn the largest crowd in our festival history two years running. Rich and Tina are super to work with during the booking and with the pre-event details. The entire band is made of up of great guys who are very professional and enthusiastic.
My 80-year old parents act as their chauffeurs when they come to town and enjoy the guys immensely.
They will give you a great performance!

I have not heard ONE negative thing about the show. I have gotten many calls from people thanking me and telling me how much they appreciated that I had a hand bringing in “Mr. Speed,” telling me how great you all are. Now Hornell has a little footnote in “Kisstory,” so to speak!
Your show and production were top-notch. Your performance was flawless. I loved it all.
What more can I say, I simply loved it all! As much as I loved your performance, I have to say that I enjoyed hanging out with all of you prior to show. Not one of you demonstrated an attitude or ego. I really despise that mind-set in cover/tribute bands. Not you guys….You are all very down to earth people, and I am so glad that I got to spend some time talking to each and every one of you. You were all so accommodating. I’ll wear my “Mr. Speed” shirts proudly!
You have certainly gained an entirely new fan-base.
Once again, thank you all so much. It was such a pleasant and exciting experience.

Mr. Speed may be “America’s KISS Tribute,” but for the people of Cadillac, Michigan it’s more personal than that. With four performances in Cadillac over the past two years, including the sold out “Homecoming KISS” concert at Cadillac High School, Mr. Speed has been adopted as “Cadillac’s KISS Tribute.” The band loves Cadillac, but more to the point Cadillac loves the band. Not since KISS visited the city in 1975 has a band so captured the imagination and heart of every Cadillac rock and roll fan. Mr. Speed now has an esteemed position in our Cadillac KISStory. In 1975 and now in 2010, we wanted the best and we got the best – KISS and Mr. Speed.

"MR.SPEED is one of the top KISS Tribute bands around and MOST definitely the easiest to work with! The guys are very professional and keep our events running smooth. It's always a pleasure working with MR.SPEED - for us and the fans!"

"Having been one of the fortunates to see the pre-headlining KISS to the current legendary KISS, I think I'm qualified to say, that if you aren't one of the lucky ones to grab a KISS ticket on this upcoming tour, then check out MR.SPEED. They can fill that musical/visual void till the real guys come to your town."
Bill Starkey, Founder
KISS ARMY
"Let me tell you, MR.SPEED delivers the KISS experience like no other tribute band. Watching Ace Frehley perform "Shock Me" with MR.SPEED at the KISS Coffeehouse Anniversary Party was an awesome moment in KISSTORY. The guys and Ace pulled off this unrehearsed spectacle like a night from the '77 Love Gun Tour. When you want the best, you'll get the best with MR.SPEED!"
Brian Galvin, Owner
KISS Coffeehouse
"Mr.Speed is HANDS DOWN my favorite KISS tribute band! They really care about the audience they are rocking for in a very passionate, hard, & heavy way - quite reminiscent of the genuine article! In their
own right, they are solid entertainers and very fine musicians who always bring 100% + to a stage.
I personally love that they include in their sets terrific versions of songs the originators rarely perform
live, such as classic tracks from 'The Elder'. It's also a sincere pleasure to meet and talk with the
members of Mr.Speed, true gentlemen all!"

"Wanted to drop a line and share with you how much everyone enjoyed your show at the first Annual Lakengren Laserfest on 8/31/07. It was huge hit...and a lot of it was due to MR.SPEED! You showed up on time, totally prepared and you didn't curse, get drunk or present any attitudes! Totally professional! And to beat all...you are all really nice people. I always tell my clients that you get what you pay for and you proved that...the Lakegren Laserfest got what they paid for and more! Thanks for the great show."
