REVIEWS:

"Uncanny (resemblance)! Flawless performance of Hendrix music and mastering of his iconic moves!"
Lauren Silvestri - www.ROCKONPHILLY.com



"What a fantastic show! Beyond what you would expect. They really thought it through and delivered much more than a tribute show.... I learned about the life and phases of Hendrix while they masterfully & passionately played our favorite Hendrix songs in the periods of his short life."
Peter Moshay Grammy Award Winning Sound Engineer / Daryl’s House Club



"Kiss The Sky is spectacular! So often with tribute bands people say close your eyes, they sound just like them, but with Kiss The Sky you MUST keep your eyes open because the guitar playing, vintage gear, costumes and stage presence of the band is so very precise and out of this world your jaw will drop!"
Katie Daryl Host and Executive Producer 'The World's Greatest Tribute Bands' on AXS-TV



"The Experience & The Band Of Gypsys done extremely well…..I felt as though I was watching a play about Hendrix"
Legendary DJ Frankie Crocker 1979



"When it comes to performing Jimi's music, I don't impress easily and there is no question that KTS is the most detailed and historically accurate Jimi tribute show I've seen. The music and spirit of Jimi Hendrix moves through Jimy Bleu on the stage and that is no small task."
Juma Sultan, Percussionist with Jimi Hendrix Woodstock band - the Gypsy Sun and Rainbows



"Yes, believe the hype. This show lives up to it!"
Rolling Stone Concert Review
NYC, NY



"Loyal to Hendrix in every way: Playing Style, Guitar tone, Vocals & Stage Presence. As Accurate as possible imitating the most iconic guitar player of the 20th Century!"
Brian Del Guercio
NEAR SAY MAG – NYC



"A perfect tribute to Jimi… at the place where he was discovered."
Hap Pardo
CAFÉ' WHA?

"They had the effect of recreating songs and feelings the audience has had for years. Exceptionally talented! In the absence of Hendrix himself, the next best thing is to catch this band live!"
Craig Carpenter
HUFFINGTON POST
National Media



"You could have sworn they were playing the record. Authentic look and sound of HENDRIX! A huge success!"
Rob Sankey,
LIVIN LARGE FEST MAGAZINE
Philadelphia, PA



"The world knows Jimi Hendrix was in a league of his own and there is no better band that captures the essential Hendrix legacy or a more exact tribute to Jimi than Kiss the Sky! This is my only endorsement of any tribute band and believe me I only give it because I can picture my friend Jimi himself smiling down with approval."
Gerardo Velez, Founding member of Spyro Gyra and Hendrix percussionist & Woodstock bandmate with the Gypsy Sun and Rainbows



"It wouldn't have been WOODSTOCK without 'THIS' Hendrix"
Woodstock 25th Anniversy Concert Promotor - 1994
Woodstock, NY



"Closest show to Jimi Hendrix you will find since Jimi himself in the 1960's."
Don Oriolo, Director
SUMMER OF LOVE FESTIVAL
NJ State Fairgrounds



"Jimy Bleu definitely has got Jimi Hendrix down more than anyone I've come across!"
Guitar Virtuoso, Pat Travers - 2015



"Jimy Bleu is the real deal. A Jimi Hendrix aficionado"
BILLY COX, Hendrix Bassist and bandmate with BAND OF GYPSYS - 2015



"The authenticity of the sound and look of your performance shows the music and spirit of Jimi is carried ever forward by your devotion and love of the inspiration that Jimi gave to all us."
ROGER MAYER

Guitar sound Engineer & Inventor of Octavia and Fuzz Guitar effects



"When you are personally requested to cover a Hendrix review show for and by the one and only, Buddy Miles, that says it all."
2005 Reference to cover a gig by Buddy Miles - Hendrix drummer and Bandmate with the Band of Gypsys.



"Wow to me Jimy Bleu is it!"
Jabo Starks (Drummer from James Browns Band) - 2012



"Bringing music history to life"
The Village Voice
Greenich Village, NYC



"Hendrix is of course a major influence to me as a guitarist. It's one thing to be able to play his notes but it's a total other vibe to have the feel and swag of Hendrix on stage. Jimy Bleu can do both. Jimy walks in the aura of Jimi."
Anthony Krizan, former guitarist and member of The Spin Doctors and hit songwriter with Lenny Kravitz and former member of Jimi Hendrix ex-bassist's group, The Noel Redding Band



"Jimy Bleu is the Magic Man! He takes you on a beautiful journey with his presentation (through Kiss The Sky) paying homage to our beloved legend... Jimi Hendrix."
Rosa Lee Brooks, Soul/RnB Singer and recording artist. Recorded early records with Jimi Hendrix circa 1965, MY DIARY



"It is so very rare I’m excited by a rock n roll tribute act. But Jimy Bleu performing as Jimi Hendrix is much more than just a performer donning wig and playing sloppy versions of the hits from a long gone great. What I saw at his Whisky performance in 2016, and then interviewing Jimy for my rock ‘n’ roll archaeology podcast is more akin to a museum quality exhibit than anything I’ve ever witnessed in the tribute world. I highly recommend catching a Kiss the Sky show for a full immersion into what it must’ve been like to see Hendrix in his prime."
Christian Swain Founder and Host of Podcast Network 'The Rock N Roll Archaeology Project'.
