"The Bob Cook & the Unherd-of Band is a versatile eclectic band that digs deep into
the folk rock genre. They'll make your foot tap and your head bop, meshing country
styles with roots and roll, bringing an audible sensation to your psyche that is
unforgettable. Playing with heart and guts, the quartet play with raw energy, yet
with soulful passion, bringing a tear to the eye as easily as a laugh to your heart.
It seems as if Bob Cook and the Unherd-of are a familiar friend that bring ease and
content and a visual presence that is endearing and makes you believe that Bob Cook
will always expand the boundaries of the word BOMP."
Lise Lacombe, Director, Lakeland Music Festival, Bonnyville, AB
"It's a pleasure to confirm what you already know - our delegates voted you and your
band "THE BEST" with their feet, by dancing all night long until the venue shut us
down! You and the band delivered more than promised, for our closing event, and we
would be pleased, should the occasion arise, to have BOB COOK & THE UNHERD-OF perform
once again for a Royal Lepage event! Further to that, I have passed on your contact
information to several people in Royal Lepage,and hope that you will hear from them
in due course. Warmest Regards and continued success in your endeavors!"

“On behalf of the Jam at the Dam Music Festival Committee I would like to say that
we really enjoyed having Bob Cook and the Mucho Nada at our festival two years in
a row. They were well liked by festival participants for their energetic, upbeat
music and friendly manner. It was a pleasure to work with Bob and his band. We look
forward to having them back in the future.”

"Bob Cook & the Unherd-of! are a great band. They have a great, original sound, an
excellent selection of fun, upbeat songs - both covers and originals - and fantastic
musicianship and inter-chemistry. Their stage presence was excellent also, as was
their rapport with the crowd. My customers loved what they were doing, and the dance
floor was packed with happy partiers. They were also very professional and a pleasure
to deal with. I am having them back at BJ's, and highly recommend them."

"Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know what a blast we had at the Sept
10th bash in Cold Lake. You guys were awesome and rockin' as usual. Thanks again
for putting on another great performance........ "
Vern Douglas, Imperial Oil / Esso
"I was very impressed with 'Bob Cook & the Unherd-of!'. They're a lot of fun to watch
and hear. They played a great selection of fun cover songs, and their original material
was excellent also. Their musicianship was top-notch, and they took us on a great
musical ride! My customers really enjoyed their unique sound and style, as they took
both familiar material and their own 'Unherd-of' songs and brought them to life in
unusual ways, sometimes with a lot of impressive improvisation - each night was a
unique performance! I've already hired them back to play three nights every second
week all of next summer. They were very professional to deal with, as well as being
friendly and personable. I recommend them as a fantastic party band."
David Prime, Owner, Pier 7, Sylvan Lake, AB
"We hired Bob Cook and the Un-Herd Of! for our outdoor function and everyone was
very impressed. The band and Bob in particular went above and beyond the duty of
providing music. Bob was able to mix and mingle with the crowd in such a way that
really allowed the guests to feel a part of the evening."
Randi Stordal
"Please be advised that my establishment (Fatboyz Inc.) in Edmonton, Alberta has
hired Bob Cook as an entertainer on three occasions. Bob and his band were very professional
with their approach to the show. As an owner I would not hesitate to re-book them
based on their past performance. They have an excellent rapport with clientele, their
volume control is excellent, they are punctual and they bring new faces to the room
to watch them perform. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call me directly."
Lori Hamilton, Fatboyz Inc., Edmonton, AB
"This is to inform that we have had Bob Cook play for two occasions. The second time
was for our silver anniversary party where Bob played with his band, "Bob Cook &
the Unherd-of!". It was marvellous, there was music for every age group and everyone
truly enjoyed themselves. We would hire them again anytime and we highly recommend
them for any occasion, they are certainly very accomodating."
Gustine and Maurice Riopel, Redwater, AB
"Bob Cook & the Unherd-of! played at my establishment in Lacombe, Alberta… Ugly's
Pub and Grill. I cater to a middle age crowd and they throroughly enjoyed the band.
I will definitely hire them back for both of my establishments. Great band, lots
of energy, great with the crowd."
Cindy Demott, Owner & Manager, Ugly's Pub & Grill, Lacombe, AB
