• Great time at reception, folk and bluegrass sounds were fun at farm. -- Andy C, Lakefield, MN, 10/15/2011
• The Blue Drifters were very very good and very professional from the time I found them. They were prompt with CD's to listen to and having a program drafted of what they would play. They were very punctual with contracts and signing and showing up for the event. All night I heard from people that they were very very good and very entertaining. I am so happy I found them for this event. Margaret Kleven -- Margaret K, Deephaven, MN, 6/2/2012
