Bobby Ray Bunch was an amazing performer, and great to work with! It was refreshing to have a band that not only sang, but cracked jokes and got to know the people attending the event, as well. 10/10 would definitely book again.

Response from Bobby Ray Bunch:
Thanks Daren! Couldn't have asked for a better host and for a better crowd to entertain!
My husband booked Bobby for my birthday party this year and it was awesome! He showed up on time and had a super easy setup and started right on time. He entertained my family and friends with the music and engaged the audience between songs to keep everybody laughing... even my grandma! There were people there of ALL ages and he played songs that everyone knew and enjoyed! I'd recommend him for any private event!
We hired Bobby for a new hire company party and we were able to quickly come to an agreement because of his experience and knowledge of playing private and corporate shows. He showed up well before the start time, was professional and ready to go on time. His music selection was wide enough to appease everyone in the audience and his interaction with the crowd made us really feel like part of the show. I would highly recommend Bobby to any company booking live music or for anyone looking for an acoustic act for their party. He was the highlight of our corporate event!
