CLIENT FEEDBACK:
I hired this band for my parents 50th anniversary party. They were better than we had imagined. The live entertainment these gentlemen provided was so much more than we expected and well worth the money to bring them from Georgia to Kentucky!! We all appreciated their willingness to travel so far and work so hard. All of the guests raved over the music and the entertainment. If you like good 'ole bluegrass music this is the band for you! I also appreciated the "extras" they gave us too like the pictures and cd's. Thank you gentlemen for making this such a memorable day for my parents. Good luck to you and best wishes.

The band did a fantastic job at our event. They were reliable and professional, but also lots of fun! They were very accommodating and even spoke to our contradance caller ahead of time to make sure they had the songs she would need. Everyone at our festival enjoyed the music (they are quite good). Thanks so much for a job well done! It was a hit!

Jim and his band was excellent to work with. Everything from the small details to the large went wonderfully. They sounded great and was a perfect fit for our event! If you need a bluegrass band this should be the one you call first!!

They were WONDERFUL! Our audience members said they were the best band we've ever had at the festival -- one person thought we had scored the Soggy Bottom Boys from "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, talented bluegrass band. They have a wide repertoire of songs and great sound.

Jim Miller was very thoughtful and courteous from our first conversation till our last. The gig was for a surprise party for my wife and they were very accomodating to our needs and helped make it a really special occasion. The feeback from our guests was the music was perfect for the occasion and most guests, who are not bluegrass fans, found them enjoyable as they played a variety of bluegrass music. Thanks again for helping make my wife's 60th a memorable occasion. Jay Susman

We were very satisfied with the performance of the Bluegrass Sound Band. They were in constant communications with us prior to the event so there were no suprises. They talored their performamce to our needs and they were thoroughly enjoyed by our group of over 400. Our only regret is that due to our program's time limitations we could enjoy them for a longer period.

The Blue Grass Sound Band was so good. They came for our "Christmas In The Pines" family party, where the theme was old back country. The band bought fake beards especially for the party, so they could look like the Soggy Bottom Boys. They sang old school blue grass. We clogged, danced and sang along all night long. They would pause for some funny jokes and brought the audience into their stories, as if they knew us. Such "friendly folk", they felt like family. We wanted them to stay longer and join our party. Thanks Jim and The Blue Grass Sound Band. Everyone loved you!!

They were proactive in updating and contacting me. I was in constant communication with the leader of the group and he was always friendly and helpful. They are a fun group and they interact with the audience. They are extremely talented musicians. I would definitely invite them back!
