Aaron McDonnell

I cannot speak highly enough about Aaron McDonnell and his band. I feel so incredibly lucky to have had them play at our wedding, I have to pinch myself to believe it was real--they are truly beyond words amazing. My husband and I both love country music, and Aaron is our favorite country artist right now. He is truly unbelievable, and in our opinion up there with the greats. The band plays covers flawlessly, and their original music is even better. And Aaron and his band are so good that they appeal not only to country music fans, but also to people with all kinds of tastes in music. All of our guests were completely in awe and could not stop commenting on how incredible Aaron’s band is and asking how we were able to find them. On top of that, Aaron is so wonderful to work with. He is very warm and kind and friendly, as well as responsive, accommodating, and attentive. Once again, I give Aaron and his band my strongest recommendation. I hope I get to see them play again one day. Until then, my husband and I put on his music at home and our hearts are full as we relive our special day.

Thanks a million, Aaron, for everything!

We had Aaron McDonnell and the Neon Eagles at our private event for a nonprofit organization in Midland, Texas - they were so good! It was so fun to have both Aaron and Dani on stage singing original music and cover songs from the likes of Johnny and June Cash and Merle Haggard. Aaron's voice is beautiful and clean as a whistle - I'm going to see about booking them in the future for another private event or wedding.

Aaron McDonnell and the Neon Eagles made our Rehearsal Dinner perfect and memorable. They were incredibly easy to work with and attentive to our needs (e.g. learning new songs, playlist recs, band structure, and even letting us sing!), but more importantly, they had the guests dancing, two-stepping, and enjoying life for each of their sets. I couldn't imagine a better experience!

Aaron was wonderful to work with and the band was awesome. Guests were talking about them all night! Great sound and look, they were a perfect fit for the venue and were able to accommodate all requests

The Aaron McDonnell Band played for one of my weddings and the experience was absolutely fantastic. Aaron was wonderful to work with on logistics and song choices. On the day of the event, the band was on time and ready to go with all songs and more. They timed the ceremony music perfectly and kept the crowd on the dance floor during their post dinner set. They even played an encore of the couple's favorite song. I have recommended The Aaron McDonnell Band many times and have them booked for another wedding!

I've been in special events going on 20 years, so I've dealt with an uncountable number of bands and musicians. I have to say Aaron and his band were the most fun and easy going band I've ever worked with! There were no egos, and their only goal for the wedding we worked together was to make sure the Bride and Groom got everything they asked for and more. They were flexible with timeline changes and were always ready for anything that came their way. Guests were dancing all night long, and I overheard so many people talking about how great the band was! They played a wide variety of country songs that everyone knew, and even learned a song for the Father Daughter dance. Aaron's voice is smooth and strong (I could listen to it for days!!) and the band was tight and just plain AWESOME! I will definitely be recommending them to future clients, and can't wait to work with them again.

We always have a rock band at our work Christmas party, but we wanted to try a good country band this year. When I heard Aarons voice on you tube, I was very impresses and excited to have fount him. Our party was last night and it was the best party we've ever had! Aaron was amazing and his band took our party over the top. Everyone was dancing (that doesn't happen) and we had everyone asking how we were able to get a band this good. We feel so lucky to have had them and hope to have them for many more events! You will love them! Real country!!!

It was a great pleasure working with Aaron McDonnell and the Neon Eagles. From a Wedding Coordinator’s perspective, they were a top notch vendor partner. Aaron was timely with communication, flexible with the wedding itinerary and the activities for the wedding; the band showed up on time, and was great at making the announcements that I needed. From a listener and the guests’ prospective, Aaron and the band over delivered! Their sound is so smooth and their appearance created a fun atmosphere. They kept the guest dancing all night.

Aaron and his band played our wedding and we couldn't have been happier. One listen to his EP and we knew his vocals style, steel guitar and stand up bass would give our wedding the authentic country feel we wanted. Aaron was awesome executing my very last minute recorded playlist for the ceremony, put on a beautiful acoustic piece for the cocktail hour, and was a great show for our reception. An artist to watch! My only regret was not having quite enough time in the schedule to have him play longer. Everything was professional and reliable, and I highly recommend for brides who want great sound, unique style, and a band to trust will make it happen!

These guys played for a birthday party at our home, and we were so happy with their performance. Truly professional voice and music - there are so many bands to choose from it was difficult to decide, but we are so glad we hired them! They were a lot of fun and made for a great party.
Thanks Aaron. Look forward to having you guys back.

Aaron and his team were amazing to work with! They are easy to work with during the planning process, prompt with replies, and very punctual on the day of the wedding. They sounded great and kept the guests dancing all night long. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and energetic band!

We all really enjoyed Aaron and the band - everyone agreed that the music was great! Aaron was a pleasure to work with -- very professional, on time and we would highly recommend him for any event.

Aaron McDonnell and his band were very professional, responsive to my inquiries and above all sounded awesome! My groom, my family and our guests loved it. Skip the DJ, you won't regret it!

Aaron and his band were amazing to work with. As a wedding planner it can be difficult to find GOOD vendors to work with, but once you do you never want to let them go. Aaron was very responsive to email and very accommodating for the requests/concerns we had, he was also very flexible day of. They were a joy to work with, and I hope I get the pleasure of working with them again! OH - and their music is amazing!

I am a Wedding and Special Events Planner, Couture Details Events, and recently had the true honor of working with Aaron and his band! As a planner, one of my most important roles is to recommend highly talented, yet also professional, vendors....... oddly, it can be quite challenging, however, VERY crucial to achieve a smooth, memorable and enjoyable experience for all clients, guests and vendors involved in the special day. I had never worked with Aaron until a lovely bride said that she booked him and he'd be performing at her wedding! From the moment I began communication with Aaron, it was so easy!!!!!! We conducted a walk-thru of the event and shared several emails to assure the details would be delivered just as the client expected. When the event day came, not only was he a huge hit for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, but he delivered exactly what the client wanted, without having to be reminded or prompted. A true dream to work with. Aside from the professional side of things, Aaron has a solid sound and can certainly produce a great show! I highly recommend Aaron and his band for any occasion, small or large, he will certainly be a hit on all levels!

We contacted several bands and booking sites when planning a backyard wedding. Aaron responded quickly and professionally to our initial inquiry and follow up emails. The bride and groom wanted a causal, non-traditional event. Aaron went with the flow without missing a beat. He and his band were easy going, adjusted to playing under a canopy when we executed the rain plan, and delivered great music during cocktail hour and for dancing after dinner. Highly Recommended! Beautiful renditions of classics and great original songs!

What are you people waiting for?! This is the sound I have been missing from the late 70's through the great 80's. No offense to the new comers in the business, but Aaron voice and music is right up our alley. A tremendous combination of talent between the ears, fingers and vocals which puts out a sound which no one has, plain and simple. His unique brand of a true era of deep richness in yesteryear sound, followed by a resounding boom of a baritone when its needed is better than Blue Bell ice cream on peach cobbler. The range is full and the type of music Aaron and the Neon Eagles play is spot on. Somewhere between Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, George Jones and Dwight Yoakum( maybe the little Mavericks pushed in for spice).
Aaron's sound is a combo and the band( steel Guitar) is a refreshing sound that your just going to have to go see, book or listen to at some point, get it all! I have hired the band twice and have booked a third time. Danni his wife voice when she accompanies Aaron is a true gem in her own right, I just am so dam happy to see another duo of yesteryear coming out as these two have. My God people, ya gotta go see'em somewhere. Aaron McDonnell and the Neon Eagles are just like your favorite pair of worn leather boots, familiar, dam comfortable and cant be replaced. My Mee-Maw always told me, good people make good friends.

Aaron & his band was the perfect addition to our rehearsal dinner celebration in the Texas Hill Country. He was incredibly professional and responsive during the planning process, and wonderful during their time performing. The band sounds even better live and our guests have not stopped talking about how much they enjoyed listening and dancing to their music. We would hire Aaron again in a heartbeat!

Hired for a recent corporate event and it was a great time!

I first met Aaron and his wife and the band at my sister surprise 30th birthday party. They rocked the house! It was so much fun dancing to live music, even the little kids loved it!! My finance and I at the time were trying to figure out how we'd be able to combin our love of music genres (I like country and pop/dance muisc and he likes country and rock) for our wedding! The moment he and I got up to dance at my sister birthday party we both knew we wanted Aaron and his band at our wedding! Sometime after I emailed Aaron and he was so quick with his resonse. Fast forward to this past weekend (10-24-15) and hurricane Patrica is upon us. My heart broke as all my wedding plans started falling apart. We managed to make a few changes and I'm so thankful that Aaron and his band were still able to jam out at our reception! They were all so patiant and acomidating! My now HUSBAND and I did not leave the dance floor once! Aaron and his band are just so amazing! I really can not say enough good things. They played the perfect country songs. I can't wait to see them play again! I have to note, they are so affordable for the quality of music they play, Aaron's voice to me is right up there with George, Merle or even Garth and his band is just as amazing too! Thank you Aaron for helping make our reception so perfect, thank you for letting us throw a couple lame dance songs in ;) and thank you for just everything you did!! I'd recommend you to anyone who asked a million times over! THANK YOU!!

My husband and I booked the Aaron McDonnell Band for our outdoor wedding at Hye Meadow Winery, it was the perfect fit! They were more than willing to work with us and play several songs we requested and the band is very friendly. Everyone enjoyed the Johnny cash era music and it was nice change of pace from your usual wedding DJ music. It was a night all of our guests will remember and people are still commenting on how much they enjoyed the band. We would book them again if we had to do it all over, highly recommend!
