Here's what people have said about us "Thank you for a wonderful day on June 20th for my party; the band was fantastic, just as you were 2 years ago. My guests enjoyed the music so very much. I had so many comments on how wonderful the band was. You were a definite hit; I was told it should be an annual event!" Maxine, Cape Cod Family Party "Chris and I want you and all of your band to know how much we loved having you at our wedding. Your music was great and you created the environment we wanted! So many people have been telling us how great you are – and we agree. I think it is remarkable that all ages loved you – from our 4 year old daughter to my 93 year old grandfather." Michelle and Chris, Greater Boston Bluegrass Wedding "We just wanted to thank you again so much for the amazingly beautiful music on Saturday! It was absolutely perfect and everything we had hoped for – and more! Honestly. All of our family and friends kept going on about how great you all were and what a fabulous time they had dancing – which I'm sure you noticed. You were also great to work with – relaxed yet very on-top of everything. THANK YOU!" Christene and Tim, Cape Cod Bluegrass Wedding "They were a great group! Fun, easy-going, and incredibly talented!!! (Can't get much better than that!) Would I have them again? Absolutely! They made our party so much fun! Many thanks!!!" Sandra Spring, Director of Member Services – Orchard Cove "Feet stomping, hearts jumping and heads bobbing to the music, everyone was grinning ear to ear! The Goodtime Charlies were awesome…Rave reviews from customers and staff at Santos Dumont Cafe…ya'll come back now!" Lisa Anderson, Owner Santos Dumont Café "This group of Bluegrass players belies their youth. As their name implies, they provide a goodtime for all ages. Harmonies are great, pickin' and playin' are tight. Their exuberance is definitely catching and their performance at the Lakes Region Conservation Trust's 2nd Annual Afternoon of Bluegrass at Castle in the Clouds, Moultonborough, NH was outstanding. They'll definitely be welcomed back next year!" Kitty Boyle, Director Lakes Region Conservation Trust "…love the versatility of your music. Your authentic bluegrass style is just right for a lively party crowd but also perfect for background music so it's easy to have conversations. Being a Southerner, you really made me miss home. I think it's safe to say our future parties will definitely include the Goodtime band whenever possible! Bring on the Rocky Top!" Cail and Joe Bellavance "This band's lilting and lovely bluegrass blew everyone away. Our party, despite pouring rain, will be forever remembered as one of the greats due to the remarkable playing that characterized the night. It was superb music and I cannot recommend The band more highly." Margot Sprague

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on July 24, 2008From Watertown, MA

Goodtime Charlies Stringband was fabulous! They helped make my husband's 40th birthday a huge success, despite being in the pouring rain. Very talented group. All my guests of varying ages thought they were great and people had fun dancing to the music! Thanks again guys!

Community EventReviewed on April 27, 2008From Salem, NH

What a wonderful group of musicians. Great talent, personalities and fun. We had them for a retail garden center festival. Our customers didn't want them to stop playing. I would recommend them for any event. They are very professional and represented our place of business well with good music and wholesome attitudes. Communication before the event was outstanding.
