Since 1968, BLACK & BLUE has entertained audiences in some of the most stylish and elegant nightclubs worldwide - from the Virgin Islands to Puerto Rico, and across the eastern United States and Canada. Audiences, young and old alike, look forward to every BLACK & BLUE performance.
Professionalism being BLACK & BLUE's trademark, the customer is the first priority to Ted Hall and his brother Bobby. Ted, the band manager, says, "The most important thing is to keep your audience entertained from the minute you hit the stage right through the last song of the night."
Whether performing a strictly choreographed stageshow or playing to a dance crowd, BLACK & BLUE is one of the most versatile groups on the music circuit today. From Golden Oldies to current Top 40, this talented group of musicians can switch to any type of musical format with ease. The group consists of eight talented performers; Bobby and Ted front the group with two beautiful and dedicated female vocalists.
Together for almost twenty years, this band's success has come from hard work and dedication. Even after this many years, the members of BLACK & BLUE will not accept complacency. With new goals to strive for and accomplish, the future of BLACK & BLUE will continually prove to be an exciting challenge.
It was great!!! They are soooooooooooo good. Everyone is asking about them. We will use them again. This is the second wedding they have done for us and we couldn't be happier!

JR - Black and Blue was awesome!!!! Ted was a pleasure to work with and the band was outstanding. They played from 7:30 - 11:30 with only one break, when we cut the cake. The band kept the guests engaged and dancing all night. I think most danced the night away. They have a great play list and the female vocals are wonderful. A friend of ours from Connecticut was blown away by the band and is thinking of getting them to play in the near future. Thank you for your help. You are always right on target with the bands. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Wedding
I can't possibly say enough about Black and Blue's performance Saturday night. They were absolutely fantastic. Exceptional in every way. It was one of the best parties I've been to in a long time, and we're hearing that same comment from huge numbers of our guests via email and phone. The band played late for us, and it was all so fabulously fun that we probably still had 200 people there when the bride and groom finally left, well after midnight. Ted and Hester and all of them were just perfect. Indescribable!
An unconditional rave review!!!
Thank you very much,
Jennie Beasley
Black and Blue are the GREATEST. We had so much fun with them. Our guests danced and sang all night.
We loved every minute of their entertainment and can't wait to have another wedding so we can have them back again. They made the reception!!!!!!!!

Black & Blue were absolutely fantastic. They are the BEST band I have ever heard at a wedding. Please feel free to use me as a reference any time. Please pass on to the band and let them know I told the Washington Duke how pleased we were.
Thank you

Our dance on December 17, 2005 was FANTASTIC!! - in large part due to the band, Black and Blue. The day was cold and rainy - 5.5 inches between 10 am and 1 am - and we appreciated everyone who braved the elements - and those who came loved it according to all the calls and notes I have received. The band played great dance music, but best of all they incorporated the guests in the show. It was a debut party and they brought all the girls up on stage to sing with them and then they had all the dads come up to sing "My Girl" to their daughters. From that point on everyone was rocking! The dance floor was packed and everyone was out dancing and having a great time. The band continued to interact with the dancers and had everyone laughing, dancing and feeling a part of a total experience.
Since the party I continue to have people come up to me and say, not just that it was a beautiful party, but that they had more fun that night than they have had in years. One good friend said they danced so much that night they were sore for 3 days. My husband, who dances once at each dance because I won't go home until we do, never came off the dance floor for the last two hours of the party!
Looking at the pictures afterwards, the good time everyone was having is written all over the smiles and excitement in their faces. In addition, my daughter had the time of her life and made the whole debut experience ( which she wasn't sure about before) a success.
Thank you for helping me find a great band! I enthusiastically recommend Black and Blue to anyone looking for great dance music and a fantastically fun party!

I think everyone had a great time - I have gotten nothing but compliments about the entire night especially the band. They were wonderful and so much fun. Hester was precious and I know why you think so much of her. Ted and the rest were so sweet as well. Thank you for recommending them - that won't be the last time we have them here! Hope they all got back safely and do tell them thanks again from me. We will keep you posted on next years event, but we have already decided that we would love to have them back.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for doing such a great job Saturday night...there were a lot of great comments Monday when I returned to work...you and your people really made everyone feel like a part of the group and they enjoyed the evening. That just tickled me to death!

My husband and I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the band Black & Blue for an evening that will live on in the memories of our family and friends for years to come. Their professionalism and presentation were outstanding. Their interaction with the audience on stage was fantastic and most courteous and delightful to talk with. No one could stay seated, and some guests insisted they play longer. We would highly recommend Black & Blue for any occasion.
Moore-Duerr Wedding
Needless to say we were quite pleased with the music at our daughter's wedding. All of our family and friends have been raving about the band and the fun evening that you helped create. Everyone loved seeing the two fathers singing with the band and all the guests seeemed to dance all evening. You certainly created a fun evening and one to be remembered forever.
Susan & Fred Feinberg
You asked us what we wanted in a band when we booked them and you listened to us...we wanted a band that would play all of the oldies, interact with our guests and get the grandparents on their feet dancing...and boy did Black & Blue have that covered! If I could get in touch with every bride who is planning her reception today, I would tell her to give Black & Blue a close look before she did anything else. They are a perfect band for a fun, classy reception.
