Feedback
- As good as it possibly gets, an absolutely fabulous band. Played at our daughter's wedding, and one of her biggest wishes was to have everyone dance at her wedding. The band had a tough crowd to work with but was able to fulfill her wish, and had the dance floor full almost all night. Could not have possibly been more accomodating or easy to work with. Truly made the night memorable, and if ever we have another occasion to book a band there is no doubt who we would contact. Everyone, including the venue staff, kept asking us where we found them! A sincere thanks to Drivetrain! First rate. -- Basil M, Dunwoody, GA, 3/19/2011
- The whole experience was great from beginning to end. They were incredibly easy to work with and took care of the details so we didn't have to worry about anything. They accomodated every request and were a blast when interacting with our guests. The dance floor was full all night and nobody wanted the party to end. Would definitely recommend Drivetrain. -- Frank N, Savannah, GA, 4/30/2011
- Drivetrain is the kind of band you want to play at your event, and then suggest them to all of your friends and families for their events. The level of professionalism, talent, and overall generosity is outstanding. Your event will be all the more special by having Drivetrain perform. -- Heather S, Columbus, GA, 1/16/2010
- Drivetrain was fantastic! We hired them based solely on previous reviews and were not disappointed. All of our guests were raving about them and all had a wonderful time. The music during dinner was perfect and the first dances were great, then they had everyone up dancing. They are so talented and on many songs I liked them better than the original artist. For our UNC Chapel Hill graduates, Carolina In My Mind was a HUGE hit and they are all still talking about it. And over and over we heard from our guests that it was the best wedding reception they had been to. The band was so talented and professional and I would hire them again without hesitation. -- Ed K, Roswell, GA, 10/24/2009
- Drivetrain was fantastic! We hosted an old-fashioned Hoe-Down on a farm outside of town. Drivetrain drove over an hour to meet us, set up under a tent in the 90-degree heat, and played for over two hours. The band is great fun, extremely talented, and an amazing bargain! I give the band the highest recommendation. -- Shannan O, Newborn, GA, 7/19/2008
- Drivetrain played our rehearsal dinner which was last night. They were obviously fantastic if I'm waking up the morning of my wedding to fill this out. We set up outside for our rehearsal dinner at the lake, then returned to a complete downpour. I was panicking thinking everything was going to be a disaster. Instead, I pulled up to our lakehouse to see the band on the porch welcoming us with their amazing music. They're extremely talented and have such a different variety of music that they just make the party!They turned what could have been a rained out mess into an amazing, memorable night! -- Beth F, Soddy Daisy, TN, 5/1/2009
- We hired Drivetrain for our wedding sight unseen based on the positive reviews, but also noticed there were no negative reviews. It was very clear why not- they were easy to deal with and reliable in every way. They played an acoustic and electric set, both top notch. They also DJ-ed between sets, so there was always music playing. Drivetrain was very accommodating to my bride and myself and were an absolute blast! At the end of the evening, guests were literally begging Drivetrain to continue playing and offering them money. The one negative was that they were forced to stop playing due to the venue closing! Extremely talented and highly recommended for your event! -- David H, Columbus, GA, 4/18/2009
- Let me start by saying I've been a manager/agent in 4 different major markets including overseas. When I found this band on Gigmasters, I was a little confused as to what kind of music they played but was impressed by the sound of the samples. I arrived at the event to find (get this) 11 different instruments on stage. Thier first set was all acoustics and after hearing this I thought OK this is their forte. Then on the next set they switched to the electric format and I must say my jaw dropped! They were just as strong on Rock, R&B, Motown and Dance hits. In all my experience I've never seen this degree of versatility from one band. Remarkable! -- John M, Atlanta, GA, 11/14/2009
- I can't say enough great things about Drivetrain!!! They were AWESOME! I had not heard the band in person prior to the wedding, but they lived up to all the great reviews on gigmasters and exceeded my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone. They made sure everyone had a great time, and the dance floor was full the entire reception.
-Leigh and Andrew Curtis -- Mary F, Axson, GA, 12/11/2010
- This talented group is SPECTACULAR!
Booked them for a corporate function and they entertainingly captivated all our guests...from north & south to east & west...was one of the best talent finds in all my years of party/event planning...the only mistake someone can make is NOT to book them!!
Thank you Gigmaster and Drivetrain for making our event a show-stopper. -- Richard M, Atlanta, GA, 1/6/2009
- Let me first say Drivetrain was unbelievable..they put on a 3 hour show with first quality sound, stage presence and interaction with our group. They are multi-talented musicians who put out unreal music but at the same time you could not meet any finer people. Played everything we asked of them and I could not have a better band with us that day than Drivetrain..thanks Randy & Yvonne- God willing you will be back to the Budweiser stage! -- Michael S, Alpharetta, GA, 7/11/2009
- We had a BLAST with DriveTrain!! THey were so much fun and had NO trouble adapting and playing to our crowd!! Yvonne was fun and right on time, with anticipating what we wanted to do next, when to announce upcoming things, and how to get my husband to the dance floor!! They had no trouble shifting things around if we needed to do something earlier than previously discussed!! GREAT TIME!!! Would recommend them to anybody!! Great mix of music, covered all our favorites, classic rock, country, outlaw country, modern rock a little pop and new stuff thrown in just rarely enough!! We wish we could have had them play all night long!!! -- Farrar J, Fitzpatrick, AL, 10/9/2010
- Drivetrain was outstanding! Their ability to interact with the audience was the best. All our guests thoroughly enjoyed them and several even wanted to know how to get in touch with them for events of their own. Thanks so much for such a talented, professional group! ~Rita Allen -- Rita A, Birmingham, AL, 10/19/2007
- The band was very accommodating and versatile. Not to mention, they were amazingly talented. Everyone had a fantastic time and they received many compliments from our guests. I would recommend Drivetrain to anyone and would be glad to be a reference. -- Trey M, Columbia, SC, 6/27/2009
- Drivetrain was wonderful and accomodated every sound request our corporate audience threw at them. They rolled with the changes and were versatile in their repetoire. We had originally scheduled them for their Zydeco set but they didn't flinch when asked to play old favorites/requests. We hope to have future venues where we can utilize them again. -- Lauren D, Pine Mountain, GA, 10/14/2008
- Drivetrain was wonderful. They were so, so friendly and accomodating, it felt like I have know them my whole life. They came in and did an outstanding job. I would highly reccommend Drivetrain to anyone who wants a quality group with friendly service. I can not say enough good things about Drivetrain. Thank you guys! -- Daryl S, Mcdonough, GA, 11/10/2007
- I selected Drivetrain based on their audio and video samples but I quickly found out that they failed to capture the exceptional live stage presence of this band. After hearing their original songs, I believe it's only a matter of time before they are signed to a label. Several of our guests will be attending their future concerts. -- Brandon R, Jacksonville, FL, 3/8/2009
- Drivetrain was an amazing band for our wedding! They were willing to participate beyond our expectations and even took on an off-road adventure up the mountain to reach our venue. By the end of our wedding weekend the members of the band were welcome guests who even picked up their instruments during brunch in our living and played some tunes. Yvonne's vocals were beautiful and everything we could ask for our ceremony and reception. They knew how to work with our reluctant dancers and even invited the groom and his parents to come play along for a few songs which thrilled our guests! -- Gina S, Aspen, CO, 6/28/2008
- Drivetrain did an incredible job at our wedding! From the ceremony to the reception they played music that suited the crowd and kept the party going! They were so accommodating to all of our requests and our guests raved about their performance for the whole weekend, loving the varied music as well as their ability to play random requested songs! At the end of the night, they even continued to play their ipod while they broke down so our guests (who weren't ready to stop dancing) could continue having a great time! Great for our crowd, great for the soul - I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality, professional musicians to liven up any event. -- Heather G, Savannah, GA, 5/23/2009
- Drivetrain played for our daughter's wedding, and they were awesome! They have great interaction with the guests and great flexibility with their musical ability. We had guests from Georgia and New Orleans, and Drivetrain had something for everyone! Yvonne is wonderful with her rapport with guests, she had everyone out on the dance floor, playing bluegrass to the Eagles. They also played the pre-wedding ceremony music on acoustic guitars and violin were very accommodating and helpful with planning special music for during the ceremony We could not have been happier with the entire evening, and Drivetrain made the reception a night full of memories of a lifetime. -- Sheilia M, Roswell, GA, 5/3/2009
- Excellent in every way. Very professional. Amazingly talented. Music was great, and helped MC the the reception. Set the perfect atmosphere for a fun wedding reception. Talked them into a one hour encore. Could have listened to them all night. -- Philip S, Fort Valley, GA, 3/28/2009
- Excellent! Our Agency works with many National Acts and Drivetrain's attitude, professionalism and music quality met or exceeded many of them. They arrived early and were very articulate in their presentation of the show and the sound was outstanding. We plan to represent them as one of our feature acts!

TBB Talent -- Tim W, West Palm Beach, FL, 1/5/2008
- Drivetrain was absolutely perfect for our corporate conference. Their variety of music led the way for every guest to have a great time, regardless of where they were from or what type of music they preferred. Their lead vocalists truly are outstanding. -- Sarah J, Savannah, GA, 4/16/2009
- Drive Train was incredible! We have never had a band that put on such a great and diverse show! 5 stars -- Madaline H, Atlanta, GA, 5/16/2009
- Drivetrain was incredible!!! We requested 2 new songs for our first dance and our parents dance at our wedding. They did an amazing job not only with these new songs but with every song they played. We were beyond pleased and all of our guests commented on how talented they were. We are looking for any excuse to have a party so we can hire them again! -- Kimper C, Macon, GA, 11/8/2008
- Drivetrain is the best entertainment I've had at any of my parties. My guests were captivated with their beautiful singing and outstanding instrumentalists. I must admit I was skeptical when I saw the credentials of this group being that my husband and I occasionally travel to Nashville to attend the Grand Ole Opry. We were very surprised when my husband recongnized Randy (the fiddler)from one of our past Opry shows. I've always heard that this level of entertainment could only be found in Nashville. I have found a new band for all my parties. -- Christina L, Vinings, GA, 7/21/2007
- Drivetrain was fantastic and topped off a perfect wedding celebration. They are all extremely talented musicians with an amazing live sound. Drivetrain did an impressive job reading the crowd and adjusting their song selection and volume appropriately. We received many compliments, and I would definitely hire them again. -- Joe V, Asheville, NC, 8/30/2008
- My fiancé found this band on line and wanted them for our wedding reception. When I checked them out, being a music major myself (Cello), I was afraid they were too Country/Bluegrass. I wanted a Rock and R&B dance band but my husband to be persuaded me. HE WAS RIGHT!! They rocked our reception OUT! The dance floor was packed all night and they are such cool people. They played classical at our ceremony and it was great. They did play one country song by request (Wagon Wheel) and let me and my sorority sisters sing with them. What a PERFECT NIGHT!
-- Kim K, Atlanta, GA, 10/30/2010
- Absolutely a "PERFECT TEN" transaction with Randy and the band. HIghly organized, very professional and talented all around. Excellent and frequent communication. I highly recommend this band for private, corporate or appropriate club events and will be hiring them again! -- John H, Marietta, GA, 5/31/2008
- Our family is from Kentucky and our daughter married a wonderful Georgia native!!! We wanted to have a party with a Kentucky -- Georgia flavor.....a Bluegrass girl loving the Georgia "peach" of a man!!!!! The Drive Train played all of our requests and helped to start the evening of barbecue at the Trolley Barn. After a couple of hours of bluegrass and Sweet Georgia Brown tunes....a very good DJ played all of the bride and groom's favorite dancing numbers to close out the WONDERFUL EVENING. They were very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for the memories!!!!! Elizabeth Rhoads
-- Elizabeth R, Atlanta, GA, 4/6/2008
- We had an outstanding experience. Drivetrain made our evening one to remember. They not only have talent, but also, a great sense of humor and did their best to make sure our party was enjoyed by everyone.
I would recommend them to anyone without reservation.
-- Frank B, Ooltewah, TN, 10/13/2007
- We hired Drivetrain for our annual festival in Edgefield, SC. We were very impressed with their professionalism and personality. They were confident and the music was great. We will certainly ask them back in the future.
Joel Jolly, Chairman -- Joel J, Edgefield, SC, 10/5/2007
- I found Randy and the rest of Drivetrain to be very professional. It was an extremely hot day for this event, but they performed the 3 sets in their entirety - making the best of the day! The client was extremely happy and attendees also seemed to enjoy the experience. -- Steven W, Newnan, GA, 9/15/2007
- Drivetrain did an excellent job at our event! We will definitely work with them again in the future. -- Janette F, Athens, GA, 9/12/2007

- Yvonne and Randy were so pleasant to work with leading up to the event. All members of Drivetrain were very professional, patient and talented individuals. I'm looking forward to the next time I can hire Drivetrain. -- Tami A, Vance, AL, 7/10/2007
- It was a great time. I really enjoyed the band personally and musically. -- Wendy C, Nashville, TN, 3/14/2008
- They did a great job and would recommend them to friends and use them again if the opportunity arose.
-- Keith A, Hiram, GA, 1/19/2008
- DriveTrain performed at a real estate function that was positioned with a neighborhood bar-b-que, a fly-fishing camp theme. We invited a variety of potential buyers, professional brokers, realtors and friends within the community, which equalled a large scope of people and DriveTrain impressed them all. Their talent is evident and I would hire them again in a heartbeat....this time with the focus on them as the headliners -- Shannon W, Reliance, TN, 9/29/2007
- They were great! They committed to us on very short notice (1 week). They arrived early as promised and were very flexible and professional in terms of special requests. They played continuously throughout our event with only one short break. We really enjoyed having them! -- Daphne S, Alpharetta, GA, 10/3/2007
- Drivetrain took our party from "good" to "great" with their presence and ability to entertain an audience. I enjoyed working with Yvonne in advance as well as she accomodated our needs and displayed a professional manner. -- Jennifer Y, Atlanta, GA, 8/11/2007
- Terrific performance! Thanks so much for making our day so special. -- Wes F, Dahlonega, GA, 5/10/2008
- From the moment that I heard the sample songs on Gigmasters, I fell in love with Drivetrain! Yvonne was incredible and so accommodating to our needs. Jeff and I can't thank you enough! -- Sarah T, Blairsville, GA, 5/3/2008
- These guys (and gal) were great. We had a number of guest who had brought their own instruments to the party and Drivetrain let these folks join in the performance.
They accepted many song requests- a big plus.
Most importantly, they were sounded great and mixed well with our guest. -- Richard L, Alpharetta, GA, 4/17/2008
- Drivetrain did a great job and accommodated all requests I had. I would use them again in the future as the were a pleasure to work with. Thanks! -- Lauren L, Knoxville, TN, 4/15/2008
- Drive Train was delightful and entertaining. Randy is such an accomplished musician; Yvonne has the voice of an angel. If you are looking for bluegrass, this is the band you want. -- Angie K, Lawrenceville, GA, 5/17/2008
- Thank you Drivetrain for a wonderful performance at our wedding. Musical talent was top notch, variety was great, and Yvonne ran the reception perfectly. Awesome! -- Juliana S, Athens, GA, 3/20/2010
- Drivetrain was excellent! They are wonderful musicians. They were delightful in performance and demeanor. We, and our guest thought they were outstanding. Could have listened to them all night.
-- Brad M, Alpharetta, GA, 5/16/2008
- very pleasant to work with, excellent performance, and very accommodating.... I would like to forward this evaluation form to my daughter and new son-in-law and they were the most involved in selection of Drivetrain..... thanks wtf -- William Tyree F, Nashville, TN, 5/25/2008
- They were fantastic! It was the perfect way to celebrate the 4th of July weekend! -- Christy N, Sandy Springs, GA, 7/6/2008
- We made the correct decision when we hired Drivetrain. They made the show for us. Without a doubt,this band is on the way up. Tom -- Tom K, Augusta, GA, 8/8/2008
- With the change in format to a “theme-based” program this was our first offering of bluegrass/country (previously an all oldies format). Drivetrain’s was a hit from the onset when they performed “Dixieland Delight” with it’s tag line “A Tennessee Saturday Night” that was the theme for the event. They were easy to work with and accommodating in their musical selections to the point that developing a play list was an unnecessary task. Their musical selections and execution were spot-on and our resident music “critic” (who is not a fan of country music) thought they were excellent. When a future program calls for bluegrass music, Drivetrain is our band of choice -- Robert A, Cleveland, TN, 7/26/2008
- Top notch! We will definitely use them for future events. Highly recommend them!! -- Kay C, Atlanta, GA, 8/22/2008
- All of our guests raved about them! We were very very pleased and would absolutely recommend them to anyone! Thanks for making our day so great!! -- Aundrea O, Lawrenceville, GA, 10/11/2008
- The entire group was not only extremely professional to work with, but they were incredibly nice individuals. They went out of their way to make our event a true success.
Thank you, Drivetrain! -- Liz L, Louisville, KY, 9/17/2008
- My guests are already requesting I bring them back next year -- Julia H, Buford, GA, 12/21/2008
- They were wonderful--on time and so very talented--we'd use them again in a heartbeat! -- Emily V, Atlanta, GA, 11/16/2008
- These guys are terrific!!! -- Jim K, Rome, GA, 11/1/2008
- I thought they were great. I could not have found a better band for our wedding reception. Everyone was impressed. Even those who were not familiar with bluegrass music. Thanks, Debbie and Larry White -- Deborah W, Toccoa, GA, 1/24/2009
- Drivetrain was so accomodating to the needs of our party! They worked with us to give us exactly what we needed without any hassle. We were so impressed with their professionalism and willingness to work with our needs and I would recommend them highly to anyone! -- Heather G, Savannah, GA, 5/9/2009
- We were extremely pleased with Drivetrain's performance at our event. When it rained unexpectedly, they graciously shifted to an acoustic format and completed the evening without missing a beat. They were very friendly and accommodating to the guest's requests. -- Lisa W, Tallahassee, FL, 12/22/2007
- Drivetrain played at my husband's 40th birthday party and were absolutely fantastic. We had many families at the party and the kids loved the music too - actually the kids couldn't stop dancing. The band also worked especially well with the kids, letting one little girl sing with them. No question I would recommend Drivetrain again and again and again. -- Laura B, Decatur, GA, 7/18/2009
- We were looking for a band who did a little bit of everything to play at our Nashville wedding. We came across Drivetrain and loved them right away. Since we had guests of all ages we wanted to supply a variety of music so that everyone would enjoy it.
Yvonne was wonderful at helping us pick exactly what we were looking for. They learned the songs for the ceremony and played them beautifully. We could not have asked for a more energetic, engaging, and KIND group of people to work with!
Definitely recommend them!! -- Cynthia W, Nashville, TN, 12/30/2011
