• I decided at the last minute to hire a band to play as guests arrived and for the ceremony at my wedding. The Bluegrass Sound Band was really great.

• I hired this band for my parents 50th anniversary party. They were better than we had imagined. The live entertainment these gentlemen provided was so much more than we expected and well worth the money to bring them from Georgia to Kentucky!! We all appreciated their willingness to travel so far and work so hard. All of the guests raved over the music and the entertainment. If you like good 'ole bluegrass music this is the band for you! I also appreciated the "extras" they gave us too like the pictures and cd's. Thank you gentlemen for making this such a memorable day for my parents. Good luck to you and best wishes. -- Rebecca R, Shepherdsville, KY, 6/14/2008

Thanks so much for a job well done! It was a hit! -- Camilla W, Atlanta, GA, 10/13/2007
• The Blue Grass Sound Band was so good. They came for our "Christmas In The Pines" family party, where the theme was old back country. The band bought fake beards especially for the party, so they could look like the Soggy Bottom Boys. They sang old school blue grass. We clogged, danced and sang along all night long. They would pause for some funny jokes and brought the audience into their stories, as if they knew us. Such "friendly folk", they felt like family. We wanted them to stay longer and join our party. Thanks Jim and The Blue Grass Sound Band. Everyone loved you!! -- Samantha K, Rising Fawn, GA, 12/23/2006
• Great to work with. Ease in communication. Very simple in understanding our need and direction. Did a great job for our event. Very low maintenance in working with them. Would recommend to others as a family friendly group. Rev. Rusty Asble FBC Cleveland, TN -- Rev. Rusty A, Cleveland, TN, 5/25/2008

The gig was for a surprise party for my wife and they were very accomodating to our needs and helped make it a really special occasion. The feeback from our guests was the music was perfect for the occasion and most guests, who are not bluegrass fans, found them enjoyable as they played a variety of bluegrass music.
