CLIENT FEEDBACK:
The band was exactly what I was looking for: friendly, talented, accomodating and down-to-earth yet professional. I would highly recommend them and should I need a blue grass band in the future will definitely look to the KuckleDusters again!

These guys were incredible. Scott Spearly & his crew did a great job at our wedding and went out of their way to accommodate a special request for us (learn a new song)!
I wholeheartedly recommend The KnuckleDusters for any occasion!

This is the 2nd time our organization used "The Knuckle Dusters" , this time for a festival we sponsored. They were professional, and they played great Americana music. They were very courteous to attendees, and were well worth what we paid. I recommend them highly...

We have hired The Knuckle Dusters for years at our establishment, before they were better known, and before they were on the web. They travel a lot, but are still hometown favorites when we can get them. They've done St. Patty's Day for us, Halloween, Christmas, Scavenger Hunts and many other promotional events. They pack the bar, draw a friendly crowd, and we just love them. Their music is unique and fun, without being overly loud. This year we are celebrating 5 years of successful new ownership with 5 nights of music. We are glad to have The Knuckle Dusters be a part. I would recommend them highly to any friend or planner.

We hired the Knuckle Dusters for an annual holiday party (corporate function) with several hundred people attending. We wanted a versatile band that would appeal to folks of varying ages and backgrounds; after listening to their free music samples and watching videos at their website we decided to give them a try. The band met all of our needs, they were flexible with our performance times and other special requests, but more importantly they were a fun and talented group. Many of our guests shared positive comments and genuinely enjoyed themselves and the music. We plan to have them back next year. I recommend the Knuckle Dusters 100% for any function.
