Feedback

  • We booked the Red Hot Pokers for our New Year's Eve wedding and they helped us ring it in with style. They were fun, flexible and great musicians. They had people on the dance floor who wouldn't normally be there and kept it up until after midnight. They were professional before, during, and after the wedding and were appropriately accommodating to some requests from our guests. Book these guys if you want a great rock and roll band to celebrate with. Don't book them if you'd rather hear the usual wedding band fare. -- Nathan M, Bristol, RI, 12/31/2010
  • The Red Hot Pokers are unreal! Crisp, clean sound. PERFECT. Absolutely impossible to have done a better job....Real nice professional guys who can blow the roof off of the place with pure easy listening roots rock n roll. PS CRAZY SURFUR GUITAR!!!! Pick them for your party and have the 2nd best party ever.....My wedding was the best! LOL. -- Kevin S, Bedford, NH, 6/19/2010
  • The Red Hot Pokers were the best decision we made with regard to our wedding reception. They are exceptional musicians who kept everyone dancing right up through the last number of the night. They have a range of music to suit all tastes. They were professional and really nice guys. Everyone came up to us during the reception and after to comment how wonderful their music was. We can't wait to go hear them play in a public venue soon! -- Cynthia F, Bolton, MA, 5/2/2009
