Photo of Andy Burr & Friends Andy Burr & Friends "Absolutely professional and punctual and an excellent performance. We will look to book them again as well as recommend them to others! -- Crush E., Melbourne, FL Andy and his wife were perfect for our surprise 50th birthday party! Our theme was "Blue Ridge Country" so there music was the perfect accompanienment for the evening. The guest of honor even clogged for all in attendance to the music they played. Great fun! They even learned a new song that was requested for the evening! I would definitely consider them for any party I would be hosting for the future. Thank you both for making the night special! -- David, Hollywood, FL Great couple...perfect music for our party! -chris m, Lakeland, FL Exactly as promised. On time, played well and adapted to the conditions of our event. Very responsive and pleasant despite very last minute booking! Our guests loved the surprise -Denise G, Winter Park, FL Andy was just wonderful for my moms 60th party.... i am so happy that i booked him! -Rebecca F, Mount Dora, FL Andy Burr and Friends did a great job for us at the 90th birthday party for my stepdad! We were very pleased with their performance. I would highly recommend them. Andy was very easy to work with and the group was very talented! -Tom S, Douglasville, GA Andy and friend were awesome. We had several special requests (for he's the jolly good fellow), and 5 or 6 songs to be sung by one of our guests with Andy and friend accompanying. They were gracious, accommodating and a hit with all. Several of our guests went so far as to ask for Andy's contact information. I think that says it all.... -Jack S, Lake Park, GA Great show. The crowd enjoyed every minute of the performance. -Hank P, Jacksonville Beach, FL Andy and his wife Sara are easy going and accommodating. We loved their personalities and their music, and our whole party did as well. If I have another backyard party I would have them again! I want to add that they were so nice to let us have an open mic with their equipment. They let our sons play some songs and let our nephew play his sax and gave him some professional coaching along the way. They are true professionals and all this made the night super special. -Chrissy R, Jacksonville Beach, FL They were absolutely perfect!!!! -Jill Z, Tampa, FL Andy Burr and friends were amazing at our Colony Cove Harvest Festival. They were on time, professional, and our community members loved them! We are planning another harvest festival at a sister property and will absolutely call Andy Burr and friends to come and perform for those guests as well. Great people, wonderful music, and a real crowd pleaser! Thank you, guys! Beth Blankenship Eastern Marketing Coordinator Equity Lifestyle Properties -Beth B, Ellenton, FL What a great group of people. On time, professional, great music! -Mary Jane T, Ocala, FL They Were Great! The crowd loved them! -Robert S, Rome, GA They were completely amazing for our wedding. Very talented, friendly and professional. I highly recommend!!!! I can't thank you guys enough!! -Ashley S, Titusville, FL Wonderful performers--personable and engaging--we so enjoyed having them with us! -Melinda M, Melbourne, FL Andy Burr's band did a great job at our 70th Birthday-- contacted us immediately to discuss the event, the venue, etc. They require only a plug in to perform! We loved that we could preview his songs on his website. He accommodated our special song. It was difficult because people were hadn't seen each other for over 20 years.... everyone was chatty, which is somewhat disrespectful; but no problem. Two outgoing youngsters that wanted to perform and Andy very graciously accommodated --to the delight of the adults. They were very professional, very accommodating, very flexible, very easy to work with, great music. We'd recommend them highly. -Sharon S, Orlando, FL Andy and Sarah are wonderful performers and great people. Our Community enjoyed both their company and their talent. Their style is relaxed and friendly. They interacted with our members in a relaxed manner in total conformity with the "Country Friendly" nature of the event. Marilyn Black Dussault, President Vero Palm Estates HOA BOD -Marilyn D, Vero Beach, FL Mountain Brew was excellent! Certainly made me want to boot scoot! Unfortunately our crowd was pooped after playing 18 holes and were too tired to dance. -Kelly F, Sarasota, FL A really good group for our Irish Celtic Festival, the sound, equipment and music was very appropriate. Next year we want to try and amplify them louder so they can be heard all the way to the back of the festival field. -Lori B, Bradenton, FL Andy and friend arrived on time. Extremely nice and wonderful to work with. They performed extremely well and were very accomodating when we interrupted to make announcements. -Rita J, Pompano Beach, FL" Based in Winter Garden, Florida (122 miles from Jacksonville) 22nd March 2026 Reviews from various sources compiled Photo of Spiritus Mundi Crescentis Spiritus Mundi Crescentis "What a show last night! We're still talking about it at breakfast." Based in New Orleans, Louisiana (504 miles from Jacksonville) 21st September 2026 Adrienne Shulman 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 (643 miles from Jacksonville) Joshua B. - Concert Photo of Cold Weather Company Cold Weather Company "I can't say enough wonderful things about Cold Weather Company! Steve was my primary contact and he responded to every email promptly. He answered yes to all requests. The band arrived on time and agreed to stay for a late night acoustic set. They were consummate professionals. The music is why we chose the band, and it was amazing & beautiful to hear live. They were the perfect blend of background music that you really want to stop your conversation to listen to, however their cover of Let It Be was so moving, it silenced the room. We could not have chosen better for our fundraiser, all 150 guests were entertained! We are still hearing rave reviews." Based in New Brunswick, New Jersey (810 miles from Jacksonville) Christine P. - Corporate Event Photo of The Magpies The Magpies "We were so excited to have The Magpies play and sing for our AACA Christmas party! Our caterer bailed on us and we found a restaurant to bring food, but it took a long time, however the time flew by listening to these ladies with beautiful songs everyone knew! Lovely, lively piano & guitar and fantastic vocals including Holiday songs for Christmas! They saved the day for us by keeping the party going!
