Thanks for a great time :-)
This band was perfect for our Red, White & Blues 4th of July party!
I'd booked them again and recommend them to anyone interested in some great live tunes.

Response from Thomas T. and The Blue Chips:
Thanks, Stephanie! It was great to meet you and we had a great 4th of July with you and all your guests and neighbors. We look forward to seeing you again.
My holiday party rocked for hours.
My guests (50) were amped up and danced until the end of the nite.
Very much enjoyed your vibe and hope to have you back for another party in the near future.
Thank you all for being so understanding during our crazy white elephant gift exchange chaos.
Some of my guests were talking about booking you guys for their upcoming events also.
Hope to see you again at the next venue.
Cheers

Response from Thomas T. and The Blue Chips:
Thanks again Deb, for having us at your event. The audience response was fantastic and we had a great time performing. It was a great example of the audience giving positive energy to the band and the band returning it back through our performance. The atmosphere was great and it was truly a celebration. Thanks again, Thomas T.
