An excellent band with incredible talent — extremely professional and fun. -  Shari L, Dallas, TX

Hackberry Road played for our wedding this past weekend! They were absolutely amazing!!! There was someone on the dance floor from the first song to the very last. Everyone came up to my husband and me all night long, and said how awesome they are and asked where we found them… Ben C, Satin, TX

Client Feedback

"Jon and Mark played an awesome show with just guitar and stand up bass for my wedding on Nov 7th. There aren't enough good things I or our guest could say about them! Very professional and obviously skilled at the art of reading crowds, they entertained all night with their live music and DJ skills! Looking back there is NO WAY I would have decided on someone else because it was perfect: not only did my husband and I LOVE their music selection, but all of my guests had a blast long into the night dancing and singing... If you don't book them, well, then I guess you just want a mediocre performance. Accolades to these guys...and THANK YOU" -April B, Sherman, TX (gig ID# 613358)

" ...did a fabulous job performing and MCing the entire wedding reception. They took time to work with us before so that they knew exactly what we wanted for the reception. They are incredibly talented musicians with a wide range of musical selections under their belt. They kept the wedding guests thoroughly entertained throughout the evening. We had numerous compliments on them during and after the reception, so we will hopefully be hearing them again soon at another event!" -Heather M, Salado, TX (gig ID# 502618)

"... the most AMAZING band we have heard in years. They were worth every penny spent. Their customer service before the performance was leaps and bounds above all the other bands we talked to. We would definitely recommend them to any one looking for a Country/Blue Grass band. And, we will use them again. They sounded GREAT and also looked GREAT. Loved everything about them. Way to go Guys, WE LOVED YOU...... " -- Melanie W, Grapevine, TX,
