Client Feedback

An excellent band with incredible talent — extremely professional and fun. I book bands from all over the country every year for our annual conference and Hackberry Road is simply the best! It is amazing the big sound that comes out of just 3 guys. They are just too good for words. They know how to read a crowd and adjust their level and song selections to perfectly match the mood. If I can bring them to another conference, I will do so. They rocked it! -- Shari L, Dallas, TX, 10/21/2009

They were professional and made our party tons of fun. I highly recommend them! -- Scott M, Arlington, TX, 10/2/2009

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...I referred them to gig master of course! Hackberry Road helped to make our special day that much more special and we would recommend them to anyone. They played a variety of songs from rock and blues all the way to Texas Country, which was exactly what we were looking for in a band. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good band and a good time! -- Ben C, Satin, TX, 4/18/2009

We had nothing but good things to say about the Hackberry Road Band. they worked with us on every part of our wedding. We asked them to learn special songs and they did it without a Hitch. A very Professional band when it came to taking care of our Wedding needs. They setup early and was willing to stay as long as we needed them. The everyone at the wedding was asking about who they were and how we found them. We would refer them to anyone who is wanting a band. A++++ -- John R, Pilot Point, TX, 10/25/2008

These guys are awesome! Great music and vocals with great variety. They are friendly and give you your moneys worth of entertainment and then some. This is our second booking and our guest want to know who they are and where they are from. We will definitely book them for future events. -- David A, Dallas, TX, 9/25/2008

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, 11/7/2009

...they were great.....Hackberry Road arrived early in order to have time to set up. Took few breaks and were extremely professional and accomidating to all of my guests. They even agreed to play a little longer than was originally requested. I would highly recommend them. Awesome job. -- Linda M, Azle, TX, 7/4/2009

Hackberry Road was the perfect band for my husband's 50th Birthday. Their playlist was fantastic and they executed it flawlessly! They improvised when we had a slight "noise" issue with a neighbor. I would highly recommend them. Numerous comments from guests on how fantastic the band was. They certainly made the party rock! -- Afi L, Dallas, TX, 3/7/2009

Hackberry Road did an awesome job at our Alumni Reunion. They are a talented group and made our day special! -- Mary R, Coalgate, OK, 5/25/2009

They did a great job. I enjoyed the wide variety of music they play. I highly recommend them for any event! -- Jackie B, Dallas, TX, 11/15/2008

The band was on time with set up and began playing right as the event began. The music was great. They were very friendly and brought instruments for the kids to play with them. They really made the event! I will definately hire them again in the fall and refer them to friends and family. A very positive experience! -- Jenifer H, Mckinney, TX, 5/31/2008
