Testimonials:

On behalf of the American Museum of Natural History, we want to thank you for performing at our 13thannual Family Party on October 24, 2006. You and your band had children mesmerized from the start and parents had to drag children away in order to check out other aspects of the party!  Your kindness and humor not only shows through your music but is also an added benefit in working with you. The songs are wonderful and always age appropriate and I would recommend anyone who wants a fabulous entertainer to book your band. I look forward to working with you again and thanks so much for partnering with us.

Dear Jeffrey:
I just wanted to thank you again on behalf of the board for the fabulous concert you performed at Felix Festa.  We have received wonderful compliments about your band.

Sincerely, 
Mark Quirk
Clarkstown FRC Board President

The Bossy Frog has been coming to our Special Ed Preschool for 4 years and the reason we keep asking him back is because in a word he's GREAT! We have a multi-cultural, multi-lingual population of children who range from severly Autistic to Speech delayed and the music and movement is appropriate for all.  The bossy frog adapts his performance to fit the needs of our children

Dear Jeffrey:
On behalf of Dino Anagnost, and all of us at The Little Orchestra Society, I would like to extend my warmest thanks and congratulations for your performance at our March 23rd performance of A Lincoln Portrait: Four Scores and More at Alice Tully Hall.  The success of this concert could not have been realized without the extraordinary talent and dedication of everyone involved.  Thank you for your wonderful work in making A Lincoln Portrait a meaningful, memorable experience for everyone in our audience that night.

Many thanks,
Joanne Bernstein-Cohen
Executive Director

Dear Jeffrey
Yesterday’s “Bossy Frog Band” music program was outstanding.  All 90 people in the audience had a wonderful time.  The mark of a seasoned, excellent performer is being able to hold the attention of young children, and you have that ability.  The preschoolers loved your show and had a wonderful time.  I have received many compliments from the parents telling me how much they enjoyed the program.  Thank you so much for making quality music programs possible to the young children of our town.  We will definitely be having you back again for another great show.

Sincerely yours,
Mary Feldhaus
Children’s Librarian

Hi Jeff,
Here’s a thank you note card from the “BET” class.  Everyone is still talking about the show and how wonderful it was. 

Jeffrey Friedberg, as the Bossy Frog,has been a frequent performer at our library's events--family concerts, grandparent and grandkid programs, and summer reading club parties.  Not only is Jeffrey an exceptionally accomplished musician but he always "wows" the crowd who invariably have a truly wonderful time. An appearance by the Bossy Frog is always a much anticipated event here!

Jeffrey Friedberg and the Bossy Frog Band have been performing at the Nyack Library for many years. Jeffrey's most recent appearance was at our library's annual Fall Festival in October 2006. I cannot say enough good things about him! He is very professional, accommodating, talented and most of all fun! His music had the entire crowd "hopping"--parents and children alike. His enthusiasm for what he does is infectious, as is evident by his huge fan base. I highly recommend Jeffrey Friedberg and the Bossy Frog Band for any event that requires a toe-tapping, finger-snapping, rollicking good time!

The Bossy Frog Band was at our Farmers' Market and it was like a children's fun fest!  All of the children gathered 'round and were engaged in the fun and enjoying the music.  Watching the children dance and sing was like MAGIC!  After the show, I purchased some of their CD's.  Whether the child is 2 or 8 - they love the music - singing and laughing along.

We love having The Bossy Frog Band play at our Farmers' Market here in Tuxedo.  They play really fun music that kids are drawn to.  They are able to keep the children entertained with props and songs, while their parents shop the market.  They have a big following here in town and Parents can't wait to have them play at our market, they look forward to it every season.  They are fun, professional and easy to work with and we enjoy having them at our market.

This November, Jeffrey Friedberg agreed to perform at the Rockland Children's Book Fair. We put the Bossy Frog logo on our fliers, and everyone who received a flier had something positive to say about Jeffrey. Many of the families who showed up to our event specifically came to see Jeffrey's performance. Jeffrey's hip, fun, and upbeat music got the crowd moving instantly; the kids in attendance were constantly dancing. The Bossy Frog Band really made the day shine, and really helped to generate excitement about our event. Everyone who experiences the magic of the Bossy Frog Band falls in love instantly!
Tracey
Organizer, Rockland Children's Book Fair

I just have to say I am a HUGE Fan of you and the Bossy Frog Band.  My son Matthew gets so excited to see you.  When he hears you playing he just dances with a huge smile on his face.  We listen to your music all the time in the car and at home.  You have such a talent for music and entertaining the children.

Thank you for putting a smile on my son’s face!

I first saw "Bossy Frog" when my boys were just babies crawling on the lawn at the Nyack Farmers market, or was it the street fair, oh maybe it was at the local mom's group, but then was it at the library...hmm, a band that suits every venue and in our community needs no introduction seems to be the favorite in every kids mind. Bossy Frog parties, Bossy Frog concerts, our lives are filled with the best music. My kids are now 4 years old and love to hear bossy frog. When we go to see the band play it's a big to do, we have our tee shirts and hats, you would think we were going to see "The Beatles" Froggy mania style. As a children's performer myself I recognize goodness when I see it. Jeffery's sweet carisma and charm captivates an audience like a true showman, but his music is deeper with meaning and spunk in each step. He truly understands how to speak to children through movement and song! Plus, an added bonus, parents love it to. I admit to listening to some songs alone, without my children. But don't tell anyone, ok?

Jeff of the Bossy Frog is the nicest guy to work with.  He is on time, always prepared and professional.  All the kids and parents have a great time.  The original songs are great and the old songs are presented in a creative, new light.  Jeff is flexible, able to handle whatever crowd shows up, babies or older kids.  Couldn't ask for better.

Jeff, there was just a  discussion on our children's librarians' listserve about performers.  Your name came up with always recommended.  Your website is great.
Rosemary, White Plains NY Library

Sorry for the belated THANK YOU for an awesome time.  You guys are even better than I thought you'd be.  What fun!  I was so pleased how the whole event worked on 3/19.  How relieved I am!  We raised $2200 for the Capital Campaign.  Yippee.  I look forward to booking The Bossy Frog Band again!!!
Thank you, Andrea

I cannot thank you enough for coming to Sami's birthday party. She had a great time and you could not have been nicer. Jeff and I really appreciate your time, and talent. Anything to make Sami happy, and seeing you always does. Thanks again for everything. You are a real class act.
Sincerely,
Pam

We wanted to thank you again for the cheer and happiness you brought to our son’s recent birthday party.  The folks who attended the party back in October have not stopped expressing how much they enjoyed your show and music at the party.  Everyone has been enjoying the CD’s we purchased and gave to the kids as party favors.  The sound of your music rings through our home each night before bedtime.  Our son, his friends, his classmates, as well as we parents truly love your music.  Your art and work with children will always remain memorable and will continually have a positive impact on all who have been privileged to enjoy your shows over many years to come.

We wish you continued success with your band and look forward to seeing you perform again soon.
Sincere regards,
The Tallant Family

Just wanted to thank you for Sunday.  The kids had a great time.  You did a wonderful job.  All the parents are talking about how great you were entertaining the kids........and the parents.  And Lindsey is still talking about how you did the "crabby song" for her.  She was thrilled.  I'll definitely keep you in mind for upcoming events.  Thanks again!
