We love what we do and we have a lot of fun doing it!

Exit 505 played for New Hope Counseling's annual fundraiser. With approximately 150 people attending, the dance floor was hopping most of the night. Our older crowd loved the variety of the music including a waltz which drew everyone to the dance floor. I heard from a number of attendees that they appreciated the band playing at a volume where they could enjoy the music and still have conversations at their tables. I would definitely recommend Exit 505 for any event that you have. The diversity of instruments, variety of voices and overall play sets were terrific!!! We are hoping they will play for us again! Try them out, you will love them!!!!

We booked the Exit 505 Band for the Museum of Western Art's 40th Anniversary celebration, and they did not disappoint. Their music appeals to all audiences, we combined it with some line dances and people either danced on our pavilion floor or just sat back and enjoyed the songs.
In addition, the booking transaction was seamless and professional. Bill Booker accommodated a few special requests we had and - as the event chairman - it resulted in three hours of enjoyment for visitors from around the state. Thank you, Exit 505. You're definitely on our speed-dial now!

Thank you for your kind review. The 40th Anniversary of the Museum of Western Art in Kerrville Texas was a grand and historic event showcasing Western Art and authentic Native American Tribal dance, art and music. It was our privilege to participate in this great cultural celebration. It was a pleasure working working with you. The event was fantastic!
Exit 505 did a wonderful job entertaining our guests for my husbands birthday party.

Thank you Jodie! We loved playing for your event. Everyone was so gracious. Thank you for having us. Chris
Exit 505 Band was 'The-Right-Exit' for our 7th Annual "Boogie At the Bay" finale band in our 5 week concert series. Great voices, great harmonies and great musical artistry. Such a perfect blend of all and a playlist that encompasses songs that everybody knows, remembers and enjoys. And - Boy! Did our audience enjoy their music and show. They loved, loved, loved the Kazoo challenge and everybody that could joined in did. It was a hoot -and-a-half. And, at an outdoor, summer concert, a Hoot would have been enough but Exit 505 pushed it to perfection. What a wonderful evening of entertainment they provided for out community. Exit 505 did a wonderful rendition of "God Bless America" at our our host sponsor's request. Folks were on their feet. It was moving. People are still talking. Get Exit 505 Band while you can!

Working with Chris & the Band was an incredible experience from the time we booked them through the last goodbye! They worked around our dinner presentation and played a wide variety of music that everyone could enjoy. We will definitely book them again, when we're in the the area!

Hi Tiffany, thank you so much for the kind words. We really enjoyed working with you and spending time with your group. If you are ever in the area again, we would love to work with you again. Thank you so much for booking us! Chris
With a week and a half until the big wedding, the band we hired backed out with a scheduling conflict and Exit 505 was ready to help! They played during the "cocktail" time and also learned a song, that the bride and groom requested, to be played as the bride and groom left the chapel. They arrived early, set-up without assistance, played wonderful music and then broke down. A wonderful band for a wonderful event.

Thank you Amber! It was awesome to work with you! Thanks so much for thinking of us to,play at this beautiful wedding.
Exit 505 played our recent golf charity event. First, they were incredibly generous in making themselves available b/c it was the Saturday of Easter. Next, the music was fantastic. Very creative takes on well-liked tunes. The three female "lead" singers have lovely voices and sing in wonderful harmony. And then the kazoos. Oh the kazoos. When you can creatively and successfully bring kazoos into your music then you are doing something right.
We will be holding our event again next year. We will be asking Exit 505 to play at our event again.

Exit 505 provided such excellent entertainment for our charity fundraiser this past weekend. From the moment I reached out to them, they promptly responded to me and were available to answer questions regarding booking. They are extremely reliable, being able to contact them and receive prompt responses about the event's details. For having such a large group, they arrived to the event in a very timely manner, and were able to set up and have things ready in a short amount of time. They did a great job of engaging the crowd and playing a whole array of music, from classic rock, to some of their own, to their own renditions of pop hits on the radio. They come with a huge array of unique musical instruments, from guitars, ukuleles, and more.
Most of all, all members of the band were extremely friendly and a great pleasure to collaborate with. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking them for any future events, be it wedding, cocktail party, or private events!!

My fiancé and I were planning our Austin wedding from out of state and knew we wanted a live band. I stumbled upon Exit 505 on the internet and looked into them further. They had a lot of great reviews from others who had hired them, and the videos I had seen of them seemed perfect for the Texas band I was looking for. However, never having seen them live, I wasn't entirely sure how it would go. Well, I just want to say they were perfect!!! One of the very top highlights of my wedding night! Not only did I love them, but I can not count the number of guests who approached me to tell me how impressed they were by the band. The band worked very closely with me leading up to the wedding, learning multiple songs I had requested for all the special moments (which they performed so well) and from there had their own list of songs which kept the wedding guests dancing all night! This band is very talented, affordable, and wonderful to work with. I 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a live band at their wedding or event! Thank you Exit 505!

Thanks Lisa for such a nice review. The band really enjoyed playing for your wedding. I enjoyed working with you and the band had a blast learning some great new songs! I wish you and James all the best in you marriage. Chris
Exit 505 is an amazing group of musicians full of passion and enthusiasm about the music they play which translates into a great show/dance for all that attend! They are a very talented group with many of them playing multiple instruments as well as having beautiful harmonizing voices! They played in our venue for a dance open to the public. The dance was well attended and the dance floor stayed full. I would definitely recommend them. Chris and Bill Booker were my contacts, they are two of the kindest people you will meet. They were very easy to work with and eager to please. If you need a band with a wide variety in their play list, This is the band to choose. Thank you Exit 505, we will call you again!

Thank you so much for that great review Deanna! I would like to add that Deanna is the manager of the Blue Safe Hall. In addition to the fun dances, Deanna hosts weddings, parties, corporate and community events, fun classes and more! It is a beautiful facility with a state of the art sound system. Deanna was very professional and so easy to work with. We will go back to the Blue Sage anytime. Check her website out. http://www.bluesagehall.com.
On Friday evening of October 17th, the band Exit 505 played music for a gathering of 160 people at the Tuscany Ranch Music & Cooking venue, of which I serve as director. The band set up early, played late, and displayed a positive, engaging attitude throughout the evening. They exhibited a variety of music which was well-received by our guests. Everyone seemed to have a great time enjoying the food and music, dancing and singing with friends as the evening progressed.
In short, all of the comments about the band that I heard from folks were most favorable, and I sincerely recommend Exit 505 for any entertainment gathering featuring live music. This band is a pleasure to know both personally and professionally.
Respectfully,

We loved playing at Tuscany Ranch, a beautiful facility in the Texas Hill Country! Thank you!
I had the pleasure meeting Chris Booker and her wonderful bandmates at an event we threw, Texas Roots Music Festival. What a jovial and talented group! They bring their personality and dynamic twist on an incredible variety of music. They are extremely adaptable and down to earth, making them a splendid choice to bring character and originality to any event. Truly a wonderful experience.

It was a joy to play for Wayne and Marcy's wedding reception. What a great group of folks! Thanks so much for the opportunity to be a part of this happy event.
Exit 505 did a spectacular job at both our welcome dinner and our wedding ceremony. They are versatile and can play a huge range of music. They are also flexible and willing to learn a number of songs for their clients. As big music fans, my husband and I had a strong vision of the music we wanted to feature during our wedding weekend. I worked closely with Chris of Exit 505 to develop the song list, and everything turned out perfectly.
The ambience they created with their music set a perfect stage for both events. At the welcome party, Exit 505 played classic and new country hits, as well as several other genres. Everybody was dancing by the end of the night, and they really kept the party going. We did not want the show to end! During the wedding ceremony, Exit 505 played a number of medleys they composed from our favorite hymns and gospel and folk songs. Their music was creative and classic and instantly recognizable. Our ceremony took place in the hill country on the Guadalupe river, and their music set a magical and spiritual tone for the event.
We definitely recommend Exit 505 for anyone looking for a band with great musicians and versatile skills. They are wonderful to work with and won't disappoint!
