5/5 from 28 reviews
Photo of Big City Dixieland Band Big City Dixieland Band "Big City Dixieland was a HUGE hit in our City Parade! Audiences from all ages were singing along, clapping and even dancing in the grass! Big City Dixieland sounded great! From what we (the organizers) could hear, they played a good variety of lively, well-known Dixieland Music, including a patriotic song. It was very easy to work with Maureen and Michael, their band arrived early, and everyone was very professional. We will definitely be hiring Big City Dixieland band for our next event in 2025!" Based in Saint Charles, Illinois NB Park District - City Parade Photo of lost Troubadours lost Troubadours "These guys are great . Good music . Wicked guitar players . You won't be disappointed!" Based in Burlington, Vermont J. Holsted - Retirement home entertainment Photo of Stephen Kleiman Guitar Mandolin Banjo Uke Stephen Kleiman Guitar Mandolin Banjo Uke "Stephen Kleiman was a great addition to our MusicMan Camp Pro Sessions this year! He coordinated with me promptly about how to integrate his session into our camp curriculum -- and was very flexible about performing in a gym rather than our usual auditorium! The campers loved learning about the banjo and mandolin and found it interesting and applicable to their harmonic camp sessions on ukulele and guitar. Excellent performance and patience in working with young musicians! Thank you Stephen!" Based in Exton, Pennsylvania Jen Schoener - Schoener MusicMan Academy Photo of Dunlap and Mabe Dunlap and Mabe "I watched their promo video and thought this band would be a great fit for our community gathering. My main job is in concert audio, and I work with bands every week. I've done high main stream bands and garage bands, Robert Mabe put on a performance that was breath taking amazing. His band's sound was like nothing anyone has heard, our audience was silent with anticipation of the band's next musical note. Before the show was over city officials asked me for their contact info to bring them in for next year's fair concert. This band is worth 10 times what they charge. They are the real deal and will blow away your audience. And yes we're bringing them back." Based in Winchester, Virginia Joshua B. - Concert Photo of Number 9 Coal Number 9 Coal "Review by Larry S. Celebration • Reviewed on October 30, 2021 • From Union, MO Great band and service thanks to everyone for making our day a huge success. BTW book Number 9 Coal they are amazing!!!" Based in St Louis, Missouri Larry S. - Festival Photo of Jay Armsworthy & Eastern Tradition Jay Armsworthy & Eastern Tradition "Fantastic! Perfect addition to a milestone party! Jay Armsworthy & Eastern Tradition were the highlight of my husband’s 50th birthday celebration! Mr. Armsworthy is a complete gentleman and was recently awarded the 2019 Maryland Traditions Heritage Award. We were equally impressed to discover Mr. Armsworthy hosts a weekly radio show, Bluegrass By the Bay. The band is the real deal! Communication and logistics for our event were seamless, and their talent, musicianship, and harmonies - a gift. Our diverse crowd didn’t want the set to end. Thanks for a great evening!!"
