CLIENT FEEDBACK:
The Ginger Thompson Band helped to make Brad and Lindsey's reception a huge success. They were fun, entertaining and very accommodating with all our requests. They had a wonderful variety of tunes that appealed to everyone and even learned a new song that we had requested. They had our guest from 5 to 75 up on the floor shaking their booty. Even on their break they played some CD's that had songs that were special to Brad and Lindsey. Many of our friends have commented to us that it was a great party and they loved the band. I look forward to using them again in the future. I can't thank them enough.
