The New Originals recently played at my husband’s 60th birthday party, and they were outstanding! They play the timeless music of the 70s and 80s, and next thing you know you’re dancing and singing along! Not only are they a talented group of musicians, but they are all genuinely kind people! They even learned a new song that is one of my husband’s favorites. I highly recommend them to make any event a special one!
Response from The New Originals!:
Thank you so much, Susi! The band had such a wonderful time playing for you all — it was an amazing evening, and your crowd are great dancers! So glad we could help you celebrate your husband’s 60th!
Speechless! If your looking to rock some 70's & 80's classics this is your band! We had the best experience. Ben was an excellent communicator. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our event including a last minute sound tech to help with our small space. All the members were professional and personable. The ladies rocked the house! Can't say enough amazing things about The New Original's! We will definitely be spreading their name around 🤩
Response from The New Originals!:
Thank you, Michelle! We had so much fun celebrating with you guys! What an incredible party you planned!
The common theme of my Christmas party was the comments I received from everybody telling me how marvelous the band was. They were truly outstanding in every single way. Communication before the event and the day of the event. The music they produced and sang was out of this world. In some situations the songs were better than the original artist. You couldn't ask for more with crowd interaction and the energy they produced on stage.
I have hired many other bands for different parties and the New Originals were the best by far. I don't even think there was a close second place. Every player in the band was outstanding base, lead guitar, keyboard, drums and most importantly vocals. They all work together to create an outstanding sound. I even had neighbors come over who said they were opening windows just so they could listen because it was so great.
If you are looking for an outstanding band that plays great music do not pass up the New Originals. You will be disappointed if you do.
Response from The New Originals!:
Don, thank you for booking the New Originals, and for your amazing review! We had such a great time playing for you all! Your party was incredible, your guests were a great audience, and your hospitality was out of this world!
The New Originals were exactly the band I needed. They are a spectacular show with great sound. The girls are great at reading the crowd and knowing where to take a show musically while still being fun and improvisational. The crowd seemed to have agreed and I’m told several guests at the Brewfest (Sept 10) asked if they could make a return appearance. I’d be happy to oblige as they band was a pleasure to work with. Professional and fun without a doubt. Looking forward to recommending them for anyone who wants to consider them. Thanks so much for all the fun, guys!
Response from The New Originals!:
