“I can not say thank you enough to you and your band!!!! You have always been amazing since the first time I heard you two summers ago :-) but you took it up a notch for the event on Tuesday. I legit still have people coming up to me saying how great you all were.” - BRANDI WOODS, DCCC
“Some songs have just the right amount of infectious energy to turn any mood into one of pure joy. Cherry by Jarreau Williams is most definitely one of those songs. This 3 minute piece of Pop bliss is covered in catchy melodies, a care-free spirit, and a lively groove all enhanced by Jarreau's fantastic singing. It bursts forward with a dazzling vocal display that immediately pulls the listener in. Once it has you hooked, there is no escaping this song's incredible energy. Williams pulls from personal experience and enlivens his lyrics with spontaneity, desire, and a total lack of regret. It makes Cherry a song that is destined for late nights and wildly fun experiences. All in all, Cherry by Jarreau Williams is a fantastic new Pop tune that has earned its place on your party and late night playlists.” - ZACHARY LARSON, RADIO AIRPLAY
“After hearing such great reviews about Jarreau and his band from a previous year’s event, WAMA knew we wanted him to play at the 2021 Winter Ball. From our first meeting with Jarreau, he answered many of our questions and was great with communicating with us right up until the event. On the night of the Ball I was extremely excited to hear him and he did not fail. He is extremely talented, and along with his band they all come together and provided us with an outstanding and memorable evening. The dance floor got full and guests thoroughly enjoyed dancing the night away to Jarreau and his band. Would highly recommend Jarreau!” - HARRIET CHURCH, BRITISH EMBASSY
“A positive, upbeat spirit… a funk genius… in all seriousness, Jarreau has a passion unlike any other for music.” - CHELSEA HUGHES
“Jarreau Williams is a force to be reckoned with on and offstage. Onstage, he projects a beautiful depth of feeling and power through his vocals and stage presence. Offstage, he injects positivity and professionalism into any interaction and project that he is a part of. Constantly working to further his own creative passions, he regularly makes time to support, educate, and encourage others in the pursuit of their goals. Jarreau is a wonderful example of what hard work, persistence, kindness, talent, and passion can do, and his journey is just beginning.” - KEMI ADEGOROYE, Co-Founder and Creative Director of ALVEO CREATIVE
“I can't even begin to thank you enough for your performance during our reception. Everyone, and I mean everyone, commented on how amazing the band was. You blew us away and you blew our guests away. You were also so thoughtful and pleasant to work with and I really enjoyed planning this with you.” - JEHAN AND LAWRENCE
