Feedback
- Picking a band was one of the most important factors in my wedding planning. My friends are all music people and it was important we had a band that would get people dancing. The Free Downloads exceeded every one of my already high expectations. I knew they sounded amazing in the studio samples. I would say they sounded just as awesome, if not better, in person. They learned all the music we asked them to and they sounded incredible. They were fun, funny, and energetic. They played until the last moment our venue would let them. George, the bandleader, was great to work with and flexible. I was even emailing him the morning of the wedding. Hire them! -- Annie S, Peabody, MA, 5/4/2012
- This band is amazing!! We hired the Free Downloads for my wedding reception last month and they were fantastic. They are professional, accommodating, fun and an extremely talented group of musicians. The booking process couldn't have been any easier and they promptly answered all of my emails and phone calls. All of my guests kept saying how much they loved this band! We had a backyard reception and even neighbors were dancing to the music in their yards. I would highly recommend them for any of your future events. They will rock your event!!

- The Free Downloads are awesome! They were very accomodating during the whole planning process for our wedding. Guests were coming up to us before the wedding was even over to rave about them! We are so glad we chose to go with a band over a DJ and this band is sure to make your event a success. We are so grateful that they were a part of our special day. -- Leah P, Rye, NH, 8/27/2011
- The Free Downloads made my wedding reception a BLAST! Not only does their talent far surpass any other band I have heard at a function or wedding reception before, but they are so professional and so much fun. My husband and I requested for them to sing "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon for our first dance, and they nailed it! I think the greatest compliment is when your wedding guests are still talking about the band a month later! If you are looking for a band in the New England area there is no need to look any further. You will not be disappointed with the Free Downloads. They will EXCEED all of your expectations, and your guests won't stop dancing all night! -- Carolyn T, Cape Neddick, ME, 7/31/2011
- I hired The Free Downloads for a charity harbor cruise and they were great to work with… from beginning to end. Not only did they get the crowd going on the dance floor but they were great to work with. I could not have asked to work with a better band. We received nothing but compliments from all of our guests. We look forward to hiring them again!!!! -- Sheena M, Boston, MA, 8/19/2011
- We could not have been happier with The Free Downloads' performance at our wedding, we're so glad we found them! They were extremely professional & accommodating, learning songs from Sinatra & Bobby Darin to klezmer to I'm On A Boat. Their performance was fantastic. They are not only extremely talented, they're also really fun people--they kept everyone dancing for their nearly six-hour set. One guest said she would hear a song and think the iPod had been plugged in, only to realize the band was still playing as they nailed every song, from Beyonce to Nora Jones to Bon Jovi to Cee Lo. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, we can't recommend them highly enough. -- Alicia L, West Kingston, RI, 7/3/2011
- The Free Downloads are an amazing band. From the booking process to the day itself, they were incredibly accommodating and helpful. And not to mention, TALENTED! They read the crowd well, keeping the music jazzy during dinner and then getting everyone fired up for dancing after dinner. Our guests commented how much fun they had tearing it up on the dance floor and we couldn't agree more -- they even got those who 'don't dance' onto the dance floor! Thank you for being such an integral part in our perfect wedding night! -- Sarina & Robert S, Chatham, MA, 6/25/2011
- From the moment we asked The Free Downloads to be our wedding band, I knew we had made the right decision. They returned all my emails promptly and were so helpful and accommodating during the entire planning process. When our big day finally came, they were everything I hoped for and more. Every one of my guests was on the dance floor until the end of the last song (and then the end of the encore). I got countless compliments from everyone who wanted to know where I'd found this amazing band. Thank you so much to everyone in the band for helping to make our wedding day perfect! -- Jessica M, Holliston, MA, 6/4/2011
- We at mylifelist.org could not have been more thrilled with the Free Downloads. They came to rock it, accommodating every detail, playing songs that had meaning for guests at the Life Listers' Ball, building the party spirit with skill and talent. Their voices and musical ability was incredibly impressive, huge voices, great song choices, not a note missed. Their timing of breaks and ability to keep the crowd engaged and dancing was amazing. We could not have thrown such a successful party without them, and won't attempt it in the future without them! They were stellar in every way. Thank you, Free Downloads! We look forward to working with you again and again. -- Shelagh B, Boston, MA, 2/5/2011
- A professional vocalist myself, I initially hired these guys because of their amazing vocals! Everyone in the band is exceptionally talented on many levels. They had everyone at the wedding dancing, and the reception was absolutely seamless! They played everything they promised and none of what they didn't and couldn't have been more accomodating across the board!
They were by far one of the highlights of our special night, we'd hire them again in a second!
Many thanks!

- From the moment they arrived to the time they left packed up, the Free Downloaders were nothing but professional, accommodating and very talented. They were very pleasant to work with and they helped make our special occasion a real joy. i don't have enough fingers to count how many guests commented on how good these musicians were. I wouldn't hesitate in the least to recommend them to anyone looking for a great band and group. Thank you so much for adding such an important part to our reception.
