Berks Festival fans were treated to the funky grooves of Warren Hill on March 24 for The Groove Boutique’s Rafe Gomez Hosts Warren Hill and Nick Colionne show. According to sources, Hill had a packed house standing and dancing to his rendition of “Play That Funky Music.”
“Warren is a great player, and he knows how to move the crowd whether he’s playing fast and furious, or soft and mellow,” said Mary Bentley of SmoothViews.com. (Tune into the SmoothViews April addition for more on the concert!)
Peter Böhi of SmoothVibes.com said, “Warren Hill had the audience in the palm of his hand. One of the highlights was his version of “Play This Funky Music” having him walk in the audience and playing his sax standing on chairs amidst the clapping crowd. This was a musically satisfying, very entertaining concert by one of the greatest smooth jazz artists out there.”

Without a doubt, Nick Colionne has earned his reputation as a crowd pleaser and a major star and must see live performer.
Mary Bentley from SmoothViews.com said, “Nick delivers every time he takes the stage. He’s having so much fun playing, interacting with his band…and entertaining the audience, that you forget it’s really not as easy as he makes it look.”
As part of the sizzling collection of concerts, fans were rewarded with Nick’s high-energy performance that was filled with soulful vocals and a sizzling R&B based jazz guitar.
“One highlight was his heartfelt rendition of the song “A Rainy Night In Georgia”, his low voice gave me a fuzzy feeling and his sensuous playing on the guitar topped it all. Nick Colionne has risen to the absolute top within the smooth jazz genre,” said Peter Böhi of SmoothVibes.com.
