Feedback
- Great band! Very classy. Everybody was up and dancing and enjoying the music. The music was beautiful and the singer has a great voice. I'm glad we chose Black Lab Trio and didn't opt for the typical loud bass-driven dj'd dance party that you see at most weddings. People were able to have conversations and hear themselves talking while dancing and enjoying the music. We've received lots of compliments on our selection of the band. I really recommend these guys.

- Black Lab Trio did a fabulous job playing music for our wedding reception. They performed wonderfully and helped make our wedding a classy elegant affair. They played a big part in helping us attain the exact ambience we were hoping for at our reception! Thanks Black Lab!

- I would highly recommend the Black Lab Trio to anyone. They were GREAT!! Kurt was great to deal with before the event, emails back and forth working out all of the details, he was quick to respond and resonable with his requests of me. Music was wonderful and singer was supurb. Great for all events!! ours was a backyard party and they were perfect, but I am sure that they would be wonderful for a wedding or more formal event.
