"Recently, at our invitation, Teddy Roosevelt reprisor Joe Wiegand visited Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, where I serve as chair of the history department. Joe provided an exceptional degree of authenticity, depth, flexibility, and energy in his reprisal of TR. His appearance, voice, mannerisms, and especially his conversation are TR's. Throughout his over 10 hours on campus, Joe was engaging large groups, small groups, and individuals in a highly effective manner. His reprisal was far beyond any sort of scripted presentation and far beyond what I expected. Rather, he deftly and tirelessly responded to the environment around him by relating Teddy Roosevelt to local history and even subtly to current events. After experiencing Joe Wiegand as TR, I would recommend him without hesitation as a very worthwhile visitor to independent schools, especially for high school and middle school-aged students. He was excellent both in a large assembly setting and with smaller groups. Without exception, I received only wildly enthusiastic comments from both students and faculty in response to his visit."

"Your music selection was diverse (always appreciated when playing a 3-day festival) and your stage presence a treat. Not only did we get many compliments on your performance but we were equally impressed with your professionalism. As the event director it is a sincere pleasure to work with entertainers like you that respect the efforts put into coordinating events and adapt so well to the inevitable surprises that come with them. You were by far the most gracious band we had performed that weekend and you can look forward to future invitations to play for PACE events. Thanks again for everything!"

"Where do I begin to describe the joys you brought to our Heartline audience during your exciting and thrilling performance? Did you ever go someplace, or do something and the experience was just perfect, sort of one of a kind? Well, I got to tell you, your performance was just that, and more. Your final song "Proud to be an American", really brought the house down. It was a stirring performance."
– MetLife Heartline

"You guys were GREAT and the party was a BIG SUCCESS!! My father was so pleased. You were so accommodating and responsive to our requests. I would definitely recommend Sojourn to anyone looking for a friendly, energetic and talented band for any age group or any event. You boys 'rock'! Thank you."

"I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for a Job Well Done!! The entertainment for the 4-H Celebration Banquet at the 2003 Illinois 4-H Leadership Convention was outstanding – due to your enthusiasm and presentation, our delegates, chaperones, AND special guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Both the teens and adult chaperones rated your session as one of the best of the weekend: 3.76 and 3.67 on a 4.0 scale. Many of the delegates noted your performance as one of the most enjoyable sessions of the weekend. Thanks again for a GREAT evening!! Although we do not use the same entertainment every year because we have some many repeat attendees, we will definitely keep you in mind for future conventions!"
