CLIENT FEEDBACK:
The SrtringBenders did a wonderful job for our party, everyone there thought they were very good and enjoyed their performance. A couple of months prior to our party we had a family problem arise with one of our adult children that we're still dealing with and our hearts are heavy, but for the 4 hours the band performed that night we were able to enjoy our friends and family and forget our troubles for a little while. They just seemed to put everyone in a good mood. We really cant thank them enough and we hope to have them again in the future. Thanks Guys, Mike and Vicki

These guys are good. They were very accommidating by driving over 100 miles one way for our Party. They play a great variety of country, rock, and zydaco style of music. They played new and old selections that fit every age group for our private party.
I would and will recommend them to anyone.
For many years I was in charge of putting together an annual body shop party for insurance adjusters. I learned that the food could be so-so but if the band was good,everone had an excellent time. Not only was the band good so was the food. We had an "outstanding" time.
I would like to personally thank the Stringbenders for being part of my very special day and major "player" at my 70th Birthday Bash.
