Feedback
- Great experience! The Walkens are a fantastic band to work with. They were extremely accommodating, and everything went off without a hitch. And they sounded great! We got tons of compliments on the band from our guests. Highly recommended! -- Kyle G, Scottsdale, AZ, 11/26/2011
- Absolutely Perfect!
If I could rate their talent any higher I would! The Walkens were fantastic! We were worried about having just a four piece band pull it off! But our worries were unfounded! They played songs that everyone loved and even let our president get up to sing.(OK, they made him do it, but he always wanted to be a rock star!)
Three thumbs up and 11 toes! -- Krystal A, Glendale, AZ, 4/4/2009
- The Walkens were perfect. They were incredibly accomodating, came dressed professionally, and helped out immensly throughout the night!
The breadth of their song selection was amazing and had something that pleased everyone in the crowd from Grandma to my 18 year old neice. The female singer they hired specifically for the night was also amazing. Her voice along with the lead singer's had the guests talking all night!...and dancing all night!
Highly recommended, two thumbs up! -- Jim V, Phoenix, AZ, 3/7/2009
- The Walkens are awesome! Our company booked them for a retirement celebration for our President and they were a hit. I recommend them to anyone planning an event that wants their guests to be impressed and have a great time. They are a very talented group with a great song list...they had our guests dancing for hours. I received so many compliments on the band. Thank you for making our event a blast! -- Michelle O, Tucson, AZ, 2/21/2009
