11 January 30 th, 2012 References To Whom It May Concern: GODDO were fantastic What a band and what a show! The Calgary Bowness Concert Hall was at its 1,200 capacity for my Goddo concert; which sold out in less than a day with no radio advertising, and the crowd did indeed go wild. Hundreds lined up at the post show meet and greet for well over an hour to get autographs and have their photo taken with the band. They did not want to leave; it was as if they could cherish this memory and keep it stronger by staying in the venue for as long as possible and the band obliged. In the 24 to 48 hours after the show, our Facebook, Social Media and my people got completely slammed by an incredible number of great comments about the show and the band. We have never gotten this volume of calls and comments about a show, not even when we did shows with groups like Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Lyle Lovett, Tony Bennett and so many more. This was and is a true phenomenon, their professionalism was top notch and the band was focused and so ready to go! They had their "game faces" on and Rocked the house for nearly two hours and two encores! They sounded so unmistakably GODDO I can t wait to work with them again! Bryan Taylor
