Review by Holly C.
Community Event•Reviewed on July 1, 2019•From Minneapolis, MN
I gave these guys a 5 on how accommodating but we didn’t actually make any requests. I’d recommend these guys to a friend provided that friend was seeking the type of music they play - which is dated and best suited for an older audience and young children. I booked them for a medium size city festival and they were very appropriate for our late afternoon entertainment. We also booked a more contemporary band for our previous evening entertainment to attract audience age 20s - 40s. The combination of the two worked very well for our need to entertain all ages. These guys were really nice and very easy to work with
The Castaways:
Thanks for booking us for your community festival! We are glad that our playlist of the best music from the 50s-80s was a great fit for the age range of the afternoon crowd we played for. We had a great response from the audience, and many of them knew the words to the songs and were actually singing along with the band! Congrats on a well-run festival, and thanks again for having The Castaways!Review by Jeffrey/Sarah J.
Celebration•Reviewed on August 29, 2017•From Princeton, MN
The Castaways were AMAZING! They were professional, timely and CRAZY FUN! They played all the hits and the dance floor was packed all night. Great lighting and booming sound equipment brought the concert to us. To top it off they called up some family and friends on stage to sing along and created memories for a lifetime. Huge fans beforehand but even bigger fans now!!!
The Castaways:
Thanks so much for having The Castaways be a part of your awesome celebration!! Your event was one of the most fun shows we have played for!! Thanks again for your hospitality and that great banner!! Best Regards, The CastawaysSong List
