Burn is a professional, courteous, and highly entertaining rock band, and they did an outstanding job at our retirement party. John provided excellent communication, providing set lists, set up times, and all the answers to questions I had not even anticipated. They performed superb covers of a wide variety of songs from the 1970's and 1980's. We would definitely invite them back. The party was in an outdoor location, and they had the right amount of equipment and speaker systems to provide excellent coverage for the entire venue.

BURN was exactly what I was looking for to provide world class entertainment at my wife’s 40th birthday party at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, this was a very short notice request as I tried to lock in a venue and get the guest list completed, but the lead coordinator Billy Joe was phenomenal. He was responsive and patient as I set everything up on my side, even as I shifted days for the venue I needed. The band was extremely talented and each person took their part serious, from the sound guy showing up 3 hours early to ensure everything was ready, to the drummer rocking out and giving my son a drumstick at the end of the night. The only thing I regret is not having hundreds of people that could have given these guys the audience they deserve. If you’re looking for a versatile band that can put on a show and turn your event up a few notches, no need to look any further. Burn will answer the call….Thanks guys for a memorable birthday for my wife and our guests!

Thank you John and Aggie for having us for Aggie’s 40th. We had an awesome time with your friends and family! Aggie’s sister coming all the the way from Tennessee was priceless! The kids dancing and rocking out was priceless! And the birthday song rocked!
Thank you so much for your hospitality and kind words. If you need anything in the future, just let us know. Rock on John and Aggie!
Thank You,

Burned performed for my husband's 40th and did an incredible job. They were so great and easy to work. The music and the energy that they created made for an incredibly memorable and special night. We were all amazed by the acoustics inside the house. Burn exceeded my expectations in every way. I would HIGHLY recommend.

The Burn Band put on a great show for our Town of Quantico 2024 Memorial Day Weekend Concert and Fireworks Event! All of the pre-show coordination was great, they showed up on time and were ready to go at start time... the playlist was great and they sounded fantastic. I had multiple attendees asked me to book them for next year show. Job well done.

Thank you LeAnn for the great review. It was an awesome party. Looking forward to next year.
Once the idea popped into my head about having a live band to surprise my husband for his 40th birthday I was on the hunt for a band. I contacted a few and hear back from Burn quickly, I worked with John who made it all super easy to get them booked. They OVER delivered and rocked the house down with also learning Sandman by Metallica which is my husband's favorite band of all time. I’ve gotten so much amazing feedback from everyone who attended, my husband and I had the most wonderful time hosting them! We definitely want them to come back!
Thank you Burn!!!

We had Burn play my parents 60th birthday party. Mixed-age crowd from 5-85 and everyone LOVED them! Their setlist was incredible and their energy was unbelievable. We knew every song and danced all night! They were so professional and brought everything they needed to put on an amazing show. The sound engineer was wonderful, and the lights they brought were so much fun. We are already planning our next party… just so we can have Burn back to play! Thanks for an amazing night, guys! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Burn was great. They played a great mix of music and really worked at connecting with the audience. How good were they? In addition to great reviews from the people who were at my event, the next morning I heard from several who had not been able to attend who had already heard from those who were there about how wonderful the band was! Burn was also a breeze to work with as we arranged the gig. I would highly recommend Burn for your next event!

Thank you so much for having us at your pool party Mari. It was a blast and you all were great hosts! The food was fantastic and everyone who attended were friendly and kind. We were glad to be able to fulfill the Elvis request and would be more than happy to provide music for any events you have in the future.
I booked Burn for my Daughter's High School Graduation Party and from the first contact through Gig Salad with Bill until they packed up after the gig these guys were nothing but absolute professionals and so easy to deal with. They made the process so easy and worry free I was able to focus on all of the other party preparations without worrying about the band. The music was awesome and they even learned a couple of song songs by 3 Doors Down when I told them my daughter and I were big fans. I would recommend Burn for anyone looking to book a great rock band for their event and want the planning to be a breeze!

The Burn Band played at the Mount Vernon Lee Chamber of Commerce's community celebration and they hit a home run. The music is authentic, the sound is great, and their performances are true to the original great hits. It was an enjoyable performance for all who attended. The best part is the band members are great people, very professional, and easy to work with. We will have them back again.

We booked Burn for our Celebration! Mount Vernon and Lee Community Showcase for a second time and loved them just as much as the first! They brought a state-of-the-art sound system and provided sound for all of the groups on our entertainment stage. They were incredibly flexible and helpful, and friendly too. The music was awesome--they played some oldies and some current songs. Our attendees and exhibitors really enjoyed their music. We highly recommend Burn for public or private performances!

Burn played at our PTO's annual school carnival. They were fantastic in every way. They showed up early to set up, and were ready to go ahead of schedule. They were great with the kids, too, and helped out some aspiring musicians and made them feel really special. We were a little disorganized, but the band members kept things rolling and helped us by making announcements, drawing raffles, and so on. They really went above and beyond. I was especially impressed with the sound - they played in a gymnasium with a lot of echo, but the sound was perfect and really clear, with no echo at all. Everyone had a great time at our event; they were up and dancing and the band was really energetic. We would highly recommend this band.

Burn was great in all aspects. Pre party set up was clear and easy, they adapted flawlessly to some unexpected rain at the venue. The music and entertainment really made the party special, would definitely have them again and highly recommend.
