We saw the band at Poseidon
I didn't see race or politics we saw love. The band was incredible and brought everyone together.
Thank you!!

I would like to say that I really enjoyed the band while attending the City of Georgetown Employee Christmas party in Georgetown, SC. I've heard a few bands play in my lifetime and you all were Exceptionally the BEST I have ever heard. Wished I could have stayed longer to listen to all songs played. I look forward to the bands' entertainment again. Once again the band, Deaz-Guys, were a pleasure to listen to listen. I know for a fact that I would personally recommend you all.

Reggie and Crew,
Thank you so much for Saturday night! You have made the president of our board a believer in the power of a good band which I wasn't sure would be possible. He has pulled me aside at least 5 times since you finished playing to tell me that he had at least 25 of his friends came up to him to let him know that y'all were the best band they have ever seen. Multiple people have been requesting that we sign a permanent contract with you for all of our future galas. Thank you for an amazing night- my feet still hurt today from dancing!

Reggie and crew,
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for such an awesome job at our wedding! We had a great time and yall definitely had people who don't dance up on the dance floor... including my now husband! Thank you also for being so accommodating for his musical debut :) and letting our friend play our first dance song. The evening was everything we could have asked for.
Thank you so much again for making our night perfect!

I have not had the privilege of hearing this band in person, but plan to very soon. Mr. Reggie Deas is the only band member I professionally and personally know, but have heard great things about the other members. Deas is music. He knows how powerful it is and how it can heal the soul.
Looking forward to hearing some
Marley from DeasGuyz!

Thanks so much to Deas Guyz for making our daughters wedding the best wedding ever. Most of our guests were from Los Angles and Pittsburgh and Deas Guyz now have a new fan base from coast to coast !! Even the non dancers got up and danced all night. If I had to plan another wedding I would plan the date around Deas Guyz availability !! Thanks again !!

Charles and I come to Hilton Head whenever we are in need of a soulful fix. These guys (Deas Guyz) are phenomenal! This has to be the best kept secret in the south........Deas Guyz are the best in the land....unbelievable!

I wish you guys had been around in the 1969 timeline when I could have introduced you to Billy and Marilyn of the 5th Dimension?
Billy and Marilyn were introduced to me by Vernon Troupe who had worked for Ray Charles and was a good friend of mine.
I introduced to Billy a group called Destiny that he signed on a 5 year contract and from hearing you guys again at Harbor Town, your group would have been a far better choice!
If you could also come up with some good original songs you could still make it big if that is something you would consider?
No need to post this as I was just contemplating the past because I chose Real Estate instead of a Road Manager and I would likely have decided on Road Manager if I had your group with backing from Billy and Marilyn!

Well, I am a Deas Guyz fan for life. I love music and I love bands and I've heard a lot of them in my lifetime, but Deas Guyz are simply the best. I'll stand on top of Mt. Everest and tell the world. I'm working on having my own private party in Savannah. They know my husband and me as the Savannah two......We are followers until death do we part. We spend a lot of time in the Hilton Head area just following the band. Ha, ha. and I'm not a groupie....just know talent when I see it. Thank you Reggie and the Guyz for making my husband Charles' birthday one of the best. Our children from Maryland were absolutely impressed......and you did not disappoint. Can't wait to see you again soon. Your Savannah fans, Cynthia and Charles

An absolutely wonderful time last night for our New Years Celebration. It was so great to see everyone up on the dance floor. The selection of tunes for this night was outstanding. Cannot thank you enough for a fabulous evening. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Not a day goes by that I don’t smile with a great memory from Alee and Philip’s wedding and how much fun we had with your band. And everyday someone new tells me how great you guys were and how much fun they had!!!! We were so disappointed Spring Island rules kept the party from continuing but, you left them wanting more!!! I am sure you will get many requests from our NC friends if you guys ever want to venture up this way. We cannot thank you enough for making our daughter’s wedding day one we will all never forget. You guys are so talented and we cannot wait to come to the Jazz Corner sometime soon to hear you again!!!
All our best,
Tricia Johnson and the whole family!!!

We were so happy with the music at our daughter’s wedding on November 10 at Long Cove. Our guests raved about you and you had so many people out on the dance floor. You guys are amazing. Thanks again for making the wedding so special.

Deas Guyz played for my daughter's wedding reception on December 1st, 2018 at the Dataw Island Clubhouse. We first heard them play at Motown Monday during the Beaufort Water Festival. At that moment, we knew they had to play for the wedding. The band was fantastic. Everyone loved the music they played. Reginald Deas is an amazing entertainer who captivates his audience. He had a great connection with the wedding party too, especially the groom! A great time was had by all. I received SO MANY compliments on their behalf.

Checking out some of your videos from past gigs. BEAUTIFUL job Guyz! I served in the Corps with Mr. Whittaker and considered him my friend. He was--and obviously still is--one of the finest musicians and people I've ever had the pleasure to know! Please tell him I said hello. Thank you all for the music, jq

Hello! My husband and friends will be at the Jazz Corner tonight (2/24/19) for another amazing performance. Unfortunately, I had to cancel as I was a patient of Hilton Head Hospital this weekend. If you can fit in my request, could you play your medley of "I Can't Help Myself" and "My Girl"? I will hopefully watch live streaming, if available. Thanks so much. See you next winter when we escape another Michigan winter. Jan

Reggie and all members. My wife and I have visited HHI for the past several years in both November and March. When we had the opportunity, we enjoyed your performances at the Community Park in HH and also once at The Jazz Corner. Unfortunately, in Dec '16 my wife had a debilitating fall and has also been diagnosed with a crappy form of Parkinsons. My wife is now a resident of a Long Term Nursing Home. I recently discovered that your music is available thru 'Spotify' on my phone. Generally we listen to your music for 30-45 mins each day and pretend that we are in HH at one of your concerts. My wife has always enjoyed music and particularly enjoys your music. We only have yours and The Beatles and Smokey Robinson on our 'Playlist'. Thank You

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for your performance at The Jazz Corner March 3/19 where my husband and I were there for your show and dinner. The BONUS was your concert at Harbour Town (March 24/19) where we were fortunate enough to hear/see you perform again.

We've been going to HHI for 13 yrs (since we retired, both teachers) and the HIGHLIGHT is always seeing you perform at The Jazz Corner, and, the last three years at Harbour Town. As soon as we know we have rented a place for Feb-March, I book your show and dinner at the J.C. As I said, the BONUS is again in March at H.T.

I cannot express enough the utter JOY I get in your performances. And, for that, I THANK YOU. Hope to see you in 2020.

Saw Deas Guys last night at Stone Creek in Ocala. Absolutely outstanding! The musicality of each band member is precise and they meld to bring a very polished, tight and wonderful sound. I was surprised today to find that this group is primarily in residence on Sundays on HHI and have day jobs. They appeared and sounded to us to be a fulltime touring band! We hope to see "Youz" Guys again!

There are NO words to describe how incredible this band is! I've heard about them & watched them at area events for years ...when it came time to book a band for my son's wedding, they were our 1st & ONLY choice! Thankfully, the date worked & can I just say, it wouldn't have been half as good without them! The music, the love of their job & MOST of all, the amazing hearts these guys have! I wanted to do something special for our mother/son dance but I wanted Reggie to sing it instead of having a recording! OF COURSE, he ROCKED IT!!! I'm a Donny Osmond fan from way back & have always told my boys that our dance would be to 'Puppy Love'!!! While it's not really a song to be sung to your son on his wedding day, I just had to have a least a little bit of the song...Reggie sang it with love then went in to my other song (that was appropriate!), 'You'll be in my heart' from Tarzan! My son is a lifelong Disney fan so it HAD to be a good one! Well, it was SO good that the entire room of guests were swaying along with us & shining their cellphone lights just like a concert setting! I've never seen that at a wedding before & I can't tell you how special it was!!! Reggie, you & the guys made our night perfect! Thank you & look for some Knoxville Lemon Cookies to show up in the future! Y'all are the BEST EVER!!!

We celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary at your Jazz Corner performance on this past Sunday, 09/08/2019 and you very graciously recognized us on that occasion. Thanks very much! We had a great time and will be returning to the Jazz Corner on Sunday, 09/15/2019 to enjoy another show. I am wondering if, on this Sunday, you might perform one of my very favorite songs. It is a song that was written by Marvin Gaye back in 1976 and performed to perfection by FourPlay in 1994. The song's title is "After the Dance" and FourPlay recorded it live on their "An Evening of FourPlay" album. I would greatly appreciate it if you will perform FourPlay's arrangement of that song. Thanks.

BTW, I tried to learn to play the base guitar very late in life and have failed miserably. Tell you new base guitar player that I have a new Ibanez SR5005 5 String that has never been played sitting in the case in my basement, which he can acquire for under market value when he is ready to retire his current instrument (what looks like a SR505EZW or SR875). (:-)) LoL!!

Jazz Corner is booked for Sunday September 29, 2019 when the entire group of 8 will be in HHI. I went to your website and saw you are playing in Harbour Town on that same day. Can you tell me where in HT and at what time? We would all love to be able to see you but unfortunately JC is already sold out.

Reggie has the best soul and blues voice around.! One heck of a nice guy, too. My wife (then fiancee) saw them on Folly Beach at the Sand Dollar in the late ‘90s and were blown away. We ‘stalked’ them every time we went to Folly and hired them for our wedding in north Georgia (in ‘01). We’re still going strong; glad you guys are! See them, people, you won’t be disappointed!! Hi Reggie!!

Had a fabulous night at the Jazz Corner celebrating my husband's birthday with our friends. Listening to your music brought back so many beautiful memories of clubbing in NYC during the disco era. Could not have asked for a better night, fine music, excellent spirits, fantastic waiter and of course your SPECTACULAR BAND!

Again, thank you Reggie for asking me if I would like a drink. Very gentlemanly of you. But as replied, "no thank you". You said on you and I replied, "a lady knows when she had enough".

Will be back in December for another evening of listening to your music. Kudos to your band for performing a splendid performance.

What a delight your entire band are….thank you from every corner of our heart for you energy and passion in contributing to a perfect weekend for our guests. We are so grateful for you!

From our first email together ...to your final hug when leaving the reception ...your care, professionalism, love, and delight was always present.

Already looking forward to the next time.

We love you! Don & Doreen

Pat from Nova Scotia, Canada is such a fan of your performances that she's made myself and our older sister bigger fans...wait, that's not possible given her passion for your talent..I'm Lynn, Pat's sister...on July 30th, she will be 70 years young....and I mean "young". If you can possibly email a Happy Birthday message...well I'm not sure what could make her day more special! [email protected] love you guys and covid has kept us from seeing you at the Jazz Club and your amazing concert in Harbor Town. Thanks for the music. Lynn

Hey Mr. Deas -- My wife and I will be at the Jazz Corner this coming Sunday (09/05/2021) and the following Sunday (09/12/2021). Our 54th wedding anniversary is on Thursday, 09/09/2021 and we were wondering which of the two shows will be best to note and celebrate our 54th anniversary with you.

Sincerely,
Bill Bristow

Hi Reggie and all,
I am finally writing to let you know how much we enjoyed having you all play for Whitney and Jack’s party. You all made the night so much fun! Everyone has commented that you all were the best band! It was definitely worth the wait and Whitney got her wish of having you all for her wedding! I realized how much I have missed hearing Deas Guyz! Hopefully you will get back down to Pawleys when we’re there or we will have to make a trip to Hilton Head. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Hope to see you all again soon! Thanks for making July 31st such a special night!

I wanted to make sure to send you an email to thank you for playing at our wedding! Your band was absolutely incredible and exceeded all of our expectations-- in fact, I think every guest of ours said that you were the best live wedding band they have ever seen and we wholeheartedly agree! You helped to get the party started and keep the party going and make our wedding night one of the best days of our lives. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us and we can't wait until we are in town next and can come to one of your shows!

We saw the show at the Jazz Corner June 4th. We went to celebrate the birthday of my mother but it ended up being a night for our 10 year old. He danced through out the entire show and forgot to eat his dessert as he was so into the music. When we got into the car, he said his face hurt from smiling so much. Thanks for making the night special for us all. You guys bring more joy than you will ever know.

We saw your show along with some special friends at the Jazz Corner last night (12-10-23). It was our second time seeing you perform there as we saw you in December 2022. You all were spectacular and I had been looking forward to seeing the show for weeks! The music was so good (and definitely the genre I love; R&B, soul, Motown) and the icing on the cake was Prince's Purple Rain at the end...we were all blown away by the talent every member of the band exudes, along with the love and respect you all show one another as bandmates and friends. I can't wait to see you again and have decided that a December show at Jazz Corner is going to be my yearly Christmas present to myself!!

What an amazing show yesterday in Harbour Town. I cannot say thank you enough to you and the band for being a huge part of our event and for giving the crowd an incredible afternoon of phenomenal music. Please know how much I appreciate the continued relationship we have enjoyed over the years, and we look forward to continuing to work with you for many years.

A few weeks have passed since our 50th anniversary event. We have gotten so many compliments since then on how much people enjoyed the evening. You guys were, of course, the stars, living up to my high expectations.

This event was really important to us. We had been thinking about how to celebrate the occasion for several years. Once we saw you guys at Reynolds Lake Oconee, we landed on the idea of a special evening like the one you joined us in creating. I knew persuading you to take the trouble to come to Chicago might be a challenge, but we swung for the fences and you were kind enough to agree to come.

I hope you realize what a positive impact you had on the evening. You are great musicians, of course, but you are much more than that. You establish a very friendly atmosphere and engage with your audience. I had never seen you with an audience that included children, so I was pleasantly surprised by how you engaged with them.

You made it the memorable evening we were hoping for, for us and for all in attendance.

I hope you keep coming to Reynolds. I know we will see you again, even if we need to go to Hilton Head to see your show.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart! Best wishes to you and every member of your terrific band.

Hey Guyz,

We LOVED your performance at Jazz Corner last December 22, 2023. That was the Friday night before Christmas. We noticed that December 20 of this year is VACANT at present. We would really like a "heads-up" if you're going to be performing at The Jazz Corner on that Friday night, as well.

We live in Columbia and plan our getaways to HH based on who's performing at "The Corner"!!

Looking forward to seeing you!

We’ve seen you two years in a row at Water Festival in Beaufort and you are by FAR the BEST, most ENTERTAINING, ENJOYABLE, ENERGETIC, FANTASTIC band!!!!

I’ve seen Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones and many many other bands/artists & you Guyz are just so fun!!!

A 3.5 hour performance. On the way home, my husband said, “I’m just exhausted from watching & listening to them. They must be completely spent.”

Please please come to Beaufort more often.

Love Deas Guyz!!!!

Saw you guys at Beaufort Shrimp Fest last week. It was the last night of my vacation, and you guys capped it beautifully. Really enjoyed your show. Seeing all those middle-aged people up front dancing was heartwarming. Thank you.

Your lead singer (the school teacher) reminds me of a singer named Ron Kenoly. I kept waiting for him to break out with "Lift Him Up!"

Keep playing. You are lifting up a lot of people.

Dear Reggie & Deas Guyz,

Thank you so much for performing at our wedding last Friday!

We knew when we saw you at Jazz Corner that you were the perfect band, and you seriously blew us away. The way you worked the crowd, brought the energy, and had so many fun/funny surprises. Each band member is SO insanely talented. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our special day. Multiple guests said you were the best band they’ve ever seen - and we agree!!

We can’t wait to see you perform again soon.

Best,
Sarah & Jack
