Reviews
"The MetroGnomes were the featured band at the first ever Asbury Seminary Couple's Retreat and Dance. The great success of the evening cannot be placed anywhere but at the feet of this quality band who enchanted the evening with a variety of dance tunes. An atmosphere of romance, rhythm, and fun drew out even the least confident couples and the dance floor was full all evening. The MetroGnomes will be the featured band at the second Asbury Seminary Couple's Retreat and Dance next February"

"Wow, what a great group of musicians! There was dancing, clapping, and singing at the Relay For Life. Our survivor's tent was hopping! Guests had nothing but praise for such wonderful tunes and great voices. The range of ages within the group was inspiring. Thanks to the MetroGnomes who played their heart out."
