We hired the Thursday Collective for a large shared birthday party for a 3 year-old and a 75 year-old. The band customized their set to our group, everyone had something to connect to, and everyone danced their socks off.
The were also great to work with. We hope to have them back!
Response from The Thursday Collective:
Thanks for the review, Blake. We had a great time partying with you!
We host an annual event with a guest list made up of folks from their mid-twenties through early sixties. The Thursday Collective has a great vibe that gets everyone in a dancing mood. They are responsive, very easy to work with, can set up in any space, and happy to accommodate your musical taste. Fingers crossed they'll always be available for our future events!
The Thursday Collective played a 90 minute set during cocktail hour at our outdoor summer wedding in August 2023. They set the vibe perfectly. We worked together beforehand on the plan for timeline of the day, sound equipment plans, and what kind of sound and style we were going for. They were communicative and awesome! Thank you Ted, Anneka, Terry and James!
