“Hero Style’s unique and seamless blend of music and comedy, both sketch and improv, is wonderfully entertaining and their energy on stage is intoxicating.†- Marc Campbell, owner, The Westside Eclectic
“Hero Style was fun, original, and engaging, so much so that I was disappointed when the show ended! I can’t wait to see them again.†- Alison Wolk Campbell, cofounder, The Westside Eclectic
“Joe Donatelli possesses a sharp, witty sense of humor that skewers through every piece he writes. Mike Costantini exploits his own innocence on stage, bringing a unique, vulnerable straight man to the guitar and to the stage. They are totally in on their own joke of drinking for charity, which makes their work pop with self-referential brilliance.†- Rasika Mathur, actress
"You guys rocked!†- Josh Meindertsma, The Great Adventure
"You made our job so much easier by getting everyone to laugh with your catchy, witty songs!" - Sebastian Clark, singer, on opening for him
“Hysterical.†– Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks owner, on Hero Style's "Save The NBA" video
