Review by Kevin S.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on August 1, 2011From Stephentown, NY

The band arrived perfectly on time to get everything set up properly. Upon arrival, the band was sound checking within no time, and had all the guests very anxious for the party. The character of each individual band member was great, and the audience interaction was perfect. The song list was spectacular, and had everyone dancing from start to finish. All great instrumentalists, great vocalists, over the event was a total success, and Mama Tried was the perfect band for the bill. A+++++, would hire again, and would certainly recommend to anyone looking to book a progressive blue grass band with a lot of character, authenticity, and talent. THANK YOU!!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 23, 2010From Bear Mountain, NY

We hired Mama Tried for our June 2010 wedding. They did an acoustic set for the ceremony out by a lake and a plugged in jam for part of our reception. These band members are not only amazing performers, but also good-natured people! Mama Tried learned two songs for us and put their own bluegrass spin on them. They were flexible with everything and even invited us up to sing with them during their last song! I have pics of the band with whole-hearted smiles during the nuptials too. I can't say enough positive things about this group. Thank you guys so much for everything. Anyone reading this should not hesitate to hire this wonderful band of talented, awesome people.
