Hi Ted, Sorry for the delayed response to your e-mail about The Party Nuts on New Years. A very busy holiday season is finally starting to slow down. I was extremely impressed with this band! They were easy to work with, punctual, efficient, and all around great guys ( I could say all that before I even heard them tuning up to play). The music and interaction with the members was GREAT! They even dealt well with a certain member who celebrated a bit too hard and insisted on an encore. We couldn't have asked for a better New Years Eve band, and we certainly look forward to having them play for us in the future. Happy New Year, Brian Johnson Tavern Coordinator Country Club of Landfall

Barry. You guys ROCKED. Everyone I talked to had great things to say about you guys and I'm pretty sure EVERYONE had a good time. I will definitely recommend you guys for any future parties around here. Thanks again.

Barry and the band were fabulous! I will be recommending them to everyone who has an upcoming event. Thank you to you and Barry for such a great time! Ginny

Hey Barry, Your band is awesome! We all had a great time and didn't want the night to end :) Thanks for all the wonderful entertainment that you provided for our wedding and we enjoyed working with you. Btw- Glenn can't stop talking about how great you guys were. Keep us informed of your future gigs that we can come to. Take care, Jordan

It is my honor to endorse and recommend the Party Nuts. My many years in the music business have taught me that bands like the Party Nuts are few and far between. They have it all. They are professional in musicianship, business, and public relations. They understand the audience and are able read the needs of their audience. A lot of bands have top quality musicianship. A lot of bands are professional. And a lot of bands are a pleasure to work with. But it is RARE, very rare, to find a band that contains all of these elements. I own a bar in addition to a record label and concert production company. So I look at bands from many different angles. I look at songs, musicianship, professionalism… and as a bar owner, a band that draws fans. The Party Nuts do all of this. They bring a crowd. They play songs that appeal to a WIDE demographic. And they are 4 of the most talent musicians in the area. All this, and to top, you can count on them professionally. I look forward to working with The Party Nuts many times in the future. They are now my “go-to” band when I need a top notch party band. Sincerely, Dave Rose Co-Owner, Deep South Entertainment

Barry you were the best. I only wish we had had a longer evening together! Fabulous music. Great entertainment. Thank you so much for a memorable evening. Sand

Barry you guys rock. My expectations were blown away. Hope we can hear you guys play again!

Barry, Thanks for the message. We thought that you guys were awesome. Everyone enjoyed the music, and we have gotten several comments asking about you all. Thanks so much, and we look forward to seeing you all again in Raleigh.

Party Nuts, Thank you for a great performance here at The Ridges last Saturday night. Your band had a great deal to do with a very successful event enjoyed by all in attendance. I appreciated you having some party favorites (electric slide, etc.) playing while you were on break, not something a lot of other bands have done (even though I’ve requested!). I’ll look forward to having you at The Ridges again in the near future. Thank again, Chris Fischer Chris Fischer General Manager The Ridges Golf and Country Club 15601 Ridges Club Drive Jonesborough, TN 37659

Barry- You guys ROCKED! Thanks so much for making the party FUN! I hope I'll have the opportunity to get you guys back to Greensboro to play sometime soon! I appreciate you working with us! Kathy

You guys are always what the dr ordered, great vibe, awesome song mix and large time had by all Steven Horowitz - Owner - Margaux's Rest & Bar

Hi Barry~ You beat me to it - I was planning to email a big THANK YOU today. You guys were awesome! I've gotten nothing but compliments since I got in this morning. A party is never a success like this without a stellar band and you guys definitely hit the mark with our crowd. Thank you so much!

Barry, You and your band were outstanding! We have had so many compliments on your group. I will certainly pass on your contact information. The music was perfect for the occasion and just made the evening. You were fun and kept people entertained and on the dance floor. The only thing we would change about the entire event was hurrying the sit-down dinner so we would have had more time to enjoy your music and dancing! Please thank each of your talented band members for us. We hope we get to hear you again soon when someone else does the party planning work and we just have a good time! Thanks so much for a great performance. It was a pleasure to work with you. I will thank Dan Singer for recommending you to me. Take care, Leigh Ann

Barry, Thanks for everything! We did have a wonderful time and look forward to seeing the pictures, it is all somewhat a blur to me right now! Everyone has been emailing saying how much fun you guys were- I will definately recommend you guys to anyone who needs a band for future occassions! Thanks a billion! Lauren and Trey

Barry, We had a wonderful time and so did everyone else. I hope some new business will come from last night for you. Several people said they were going to call on you and the band for upcoming parties. You all really did a fantastic job. Thank the band for me I was so tired last night I forgot to go back out and say good-bye. The weather was absolutely perfect topping off an incredible night. Thanks for all you did to make it special!! I hope we have a need to call on you again soon. Gretchen

We couldn't have asked for a better band for the folks we had at the wedding. From the very first note I knew we were in for a treat and you guys would be well received and by the looks of it, I think you were. You guys were the buzz of the party, all night I had people coming up to raving about the band, how great you guys were, so the hats off to you. The only thing that sucked is that I had to leave early. (hahaha) Ryan Anderson (groom)

Barry, I want to take the time to write and tell you how much we enjoyed your show, not to mention how thankful we are. Spike The Punch put on a fantastic show! The whole night I had people coming up to me telling me how great yall were! You guys made the night! As you can tell, we had a good crowd that was ready for a good time and yall made that happen. You really came through when we needed you! I also want to thank you and Larry both for making me look like a hero! HAHAHA, Seriously, between Larry staying up all night calling people and you and The Wrinkles going far out of your way to save this wedding reception, we owe everyone a great amount of gratitude! Thanks again so much! I left a message for Larry telling him that next time we need a band for a special occasion that you are the group! You guys really put on a heck of a show! Would you please pass on the thank yous to the rest of the band as well? Anthony Swainey
