      Congratulations! You're the first venture I've pledged to fund on Kickstarter (and there have been several) that's actually reached its goal. Good for you! I'm looking forward to gettin' me some of Vanessa's cookies!

      It was nothing short of an honor to be with Marquee Five at the moment they surpassed their goal. A big congratulations to the group and all the best of luck as you start recording the album!

      A chance to be one of the "elite" to receive a bonus track all my own? I am SO in!
      Come on everybody! Become a member of the "Elite Bonus Track Circle Of Friends"! Maybe we can get them to dedicate that song to us at the next show? (they better!)
      Good Luck guys, you're almost there!

      It would be a great CD to listen to travel back to Pittsburgh, the shore or upstate New York. Family, don't you want to hear Mick and his awesome group sing ALL THE TIME!

      Music hath charm to sooth the savage beast. Who is more charming and soothing than the Marquee Five? Happy to donate, I figure my Cd will do a better job than my Xanax prescription (and cheaper too)!

Tight harmonies, clever arrangements, and an actor’s sensibility characterize Marquee Five, the collaboration of singers Mick Bleyer, Adam West Hemming, Vanessa Parvin, Sierra Rein, and Julie Reyburn. In the vein of The Manhattan Transfer, 2010 MAC Award winner Marquee Five brings a spunky, intelligent flair to New York’s cabaret world with exciting five-part arrangements running the gamut of the Broadway canon and the American Songbook.
