  • John and the Southern Drive Band rocked our party!! They did an outstanding job, our guests danced all night and didn't want the party to end. They were very accomodating to our needs and requests. If you like country and southern rock I highly recommend this great group of guys!! -- Josette F, Gainesville, GA, 2/16/2008
  • Wow! They were great! They sounded great and knew all our "impromptu" song requests. They are all so nice and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this band to all country music fans. -- Kim M, Rockmart, GA, 5/10/2008
