Hey Barry,
Just wanted to drop you line to say it was good to visit with you on New Year's Eve.
Not trying to "smooze" you in anyway,... I really enjoyed the Band... and was especially blown away as I watched you work. I am a new Barry Herndon fan! It's been a long time since I enjoyed a party band as much as I did the Party Nuts... Tight, well rehearsed, good harmonies, soulful lead vocal and fantastic energy! Had the crowd with you and in the palm of your hands all night... Quite honestly, I was expecting the same ole thing, man was I surprised... loved the way you kept the show flowing from one song to the next with no "dead-air"... you never gave the audience time to get destracted from your show... and I really liked the way you had total control of the band, the audience and show... with the kick & snare out-front with everyone playing in the pocket... very impressive my friend... I will for sure recommend Barry Herndon & The Party Nuts. Again, it was goo to see you and I hope you have a great 2012!

The Party Nuts were so incredibly fun! Our reception could not have been better and everyone absolutely LOVED the band and the dancing and the energy that you all brought to the room! Thank you so much for playing, we truly enjoyed it!

I wanted to thank you and the rest of the Party Nuts for your outstanding performance at our recent wedding reception. Since we've been back from our honeymoon, we've heard two things over and over again about our reception: first, that the band was truly fantastic, and second that the food was sensational.
We've always thought that when it comes to wedding receptions, it is the entertainment and food that often are most vividly remembered by guests. It is safe to say that your band's role in this was well above and beyond our already high expectations. In fact, the morning after the wedding the first thing that Brad's father said to him was, "Where did you guys find that band? They were great!"
Thanks again for your help in making our reception and wedding day experience one that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!
Best regards,
Barry - Jess and I are at home finishing up packing for the honeymoon and still talking about how much fun we had on Saturday night. You guys were absolutely phenomenal, and everyone had SO MUCH FUN! I cannot tell you how many compliments we got on the band... you guys are awesome musicians, and you brought it on Saturday night! I can't thank you and the guys enough for learning "This Is Us" and letting me sit in with you. Seeing Jess's face while I was singing to her is one of my favorite memories of the entire day, and people couldn't stop talking about it the next day! If you guys ever need another glowing reference, feel free to put them in touch with me and Jess, or her parents. You guys are real pros, and you made that night one hell of a party!!

Hey Barry,
You guys were just awesome! Start to finish, a first class job! This wedding, as with most all weddings, had a total spectrum of age groups within the guests attending, and you managed to grab ahold of every one of them. The time flew past like a rocket, thanks to you guys. We were all so sorry when it ended, but it was nice closing it down while people still wanted more. You guys really know how to kick life into a wedding and you tore it up into an incredible final run at the end. Please have all your future clients call me for references, and please let me know how I can recommend you guys in any other ways.

Barry -
Please communicate to your fellow band members that we think your band was (and is) awesome! We had a blast!
If I had not been hosting this event I would have ignored all of the guests and would have danced for two straight hours!
Your music and energy greatly exceded all of our expectations!!!!!
You guys rock!!!!!
Thanks for making our daughter's wedding so much fun!

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

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,

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,

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)

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?
