Our guests loved the band!

John performed at a retirement event and he was excellent! Highly recommend John.
Our wedding experience was enhanced when we decided to ask the John Bolger Band to play. John worked with us on our song selection and the band really delivered. I highly recommend John Bolger Trio to anyone seeking a band with a classic flair.
The John Bolger band was the perfect highlight for our party. From light jazz to great dance music, they did it all. Their vocals and instrumentation is Pro all the way. And the icing on the cake is they communicated with us all through the process to make sure everything was perfect, and it was.
Absolutely great! Music was perfect for the crowd, volume was also appropriate.
Response from John Bolger Band:

John and his band mates did a fantastic job. This blend of music was exactly what I was looking for. I heard many many positive comments and I did not hear a single complaint. Thank you for making our day so special. I would not hesitate to recommend your group to others.

A great selection of music with excellent energy. Very accommodating with music requests
John Bolger and his band provided great entertainment for our event. We would definitely ask him to play for us again! We would also recommend him to others for their events.
John and the band where absolutely wonderful to work with. There ahead of time to set up and organize. Very easy to deal with and they sounded excellent. Everyone at the party enjoyed the music. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any event that was interested in live entertainment.
John and the band were flexible with the set up as we dealt with some significant rain that prevented them from being outside. The music was great and the weather improved dramatically after a wet start. Everyone loved the music and commented to us about how much they enjoyed the event.
John Bolger was excellent. Played the right type of music at the right volume for this event. Would hire him again.
the band was grate so nice and my residents had a grate time
Response from John Bolger Band:
We had a great time, Staff was very friendly and helpful!!!
I hired them for my husbands surprise 70th birthday party in October.
John Bolger and his band exceeded my expectations! !
I would definitely use them again.
John Bolger Band was FANTASTIC! They were a please to work with and everyone loved their music. They were a huge hit. You we be so happy when you hire the John Bolger Band for your event!
I've had John Bolger in to perform at the library where I'm in charge of programming, and he never fails to be a professional, courteous and engaging crowd-pleaser. His repertoire of blues and classic rock is always well-received in my community, and he has enough well-known standards and less-universal material to mix things up every time. He keeps the crowd toe-tapping and often singing along. John is great!
John and the guys were absolutely fantastic for my friend's 40th Surprise Party. John was very professional and quick to respond to my inquiries. John is very talented, the band was great, and got the crowd going. Everyone remarked on how much fun they were and everyone was up and dancing. Would recommend over and over.
The John Bolger Band was a great addition to our Third Thursday event at the winery. Great music, and enjoyed by all. Great to work with as well.
They were a great band to have at our event--would definitely have them back.
When Hammondsport was selected as the "Coolest Small Town in America" by Budget Travel Magazine we turned to the John Bolger Band to headline the celebration. No other band could better represent "Cool" ! They were on time, professional, and played well to the crowd. We were both surprised and honored to have such a professional sound headlining our event. These guys are going places!
