*** TESTIMONIALS ***

" ...did a fabulous job performing and MCing the entire wedding reception. They took time to work with us before so that they knew exactly what we wanted for the reception. They are incredibly talented musicians with a wide range of musical selections under their belt. They kept the wedding guests thoroughly entertained throughout the evening. We had numerous compliments on them during and after the reception, so we will hopefully be hearing them again soon at another event!" -Heather M, Salado, TX (gig ID# 502618)

"... the most AMAZING band we have heard in years. They were worth every penny spent. Their customer service before the performance was leaps and bounds above all the other bands we talked to. We would definitely recommend them to any one looking for a Country/Blue Grass band. And, we will use them again. They sounded GREAT and also looked GREAT. Loved everything about them. Way to go Guys, WE LOVED YOU...... " -- Melanie W, Grapevine, TX,

• Jon and Mark are a talented duo who sang a broad range of music for our daughters wedding reception. They were very quick to be there for our Deacon when he needed to add/change anything before the wedding ceremony. She wanted to walk down the isle to The Wedding Song for which they did not know. They taught themselves and it was beautiful! This was very special to her. They had no problem with the song request during the reception. As mother of the bride I felt a little overwelmed at times but having them be my EMCE helped keep everything under control. I would recommend them to anyone who would like to have a fun and successful event. You guys were great! -- Kasey M, Pilot Point, TX, 10/24/2009
