The Herringbones

We work hard and take pride in delivering both great music and great service to our clients. We could tell you what a good job we'll do, but we would much rather let our past clients do it for us!

The Herringbones turned out to be the perfect band for my party. EVERYONE at the party raves about how good the band was. Booking the Herringbones was the best decision I could have made. They were the highlight of the party. Very impressed with not only their talent, but their professionalism was impressive as well. Every detail was perfect. They arrived early and created a very professional stage presence. Their songs, which we selected in advance, were in some cases better than the original. I can't express enough how pleased I was to have made the decision to hire them for my party. They made me REALLY look good. Can't wait for next year.

The Herringbones were fabulous! They were fun and kept everyone dancing at my daughter's wedding! Guests commented on how well they played. They are also excellent on the business side, very responsive and easy to with. If you hire them you won't be disappointed!

George and the band were phenomenal for my wedding! Their performance was outstanding, but the professionalism handling everything up until and through the event was second to none. Guests or all ages told me how great the band was. You could book another band but then you wouldn't get the best. Best decision I made, next to marrying my wife!

We do not have enough good things to say about The Herringbones! They were so easy, timely, and professional to work with the entire planning process. Their music selection is a great variety and they were even willing to learn some pretty difficult songs to play for our big day. We knew they would be a hit but were still completely blown away by their performance and service the day of. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and helped us throw the best party ever for our family and friends. All ages were on the dance floor all night having a blast and it is a true testament to their hard work. Hands down the best vendor we booked for our wedding day!

The Herringbones played at my wedding on October 25 and I could not have been happier! I had a conference call with George about a month before the wedding. We went through our song selections, the reception timeline, and all the little details. They worked with a friend of mine who I had asked to sing our first dance song. They were so friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate us. I can't tell you how many guests have complimented us on choosing The Herringbones! They got the crowd involved, played great dance songs, and even let some of my crazy bridesmaids sing Whitney Houston (with our permission of course)! Thanks so much guys!- Madeline M (October 2014, posted on Gigmasters, 5 of 5 stars in all categories)

The HerringBones were incredible!! Steve was great to work with and took care of everything! The set list was awesome, they had great crowd interaction, and everyone was still on the dance floor at the end of the reception! I couldn't recommend them more!!- Alison H (6/28/14 posted on Gigmasters, 5 of 5 stars in all categories)

The Herringbones recently played at my wedding reception and were so great! Steve was easy to communicate with and willing to work with me and our vision for our wedding. The band played all the songs we requested and added songs to their normal playlist that we wanted! The added greatly to the classy, elegant, fun tone of our reception without being too loud, annoying, overbearing, etc (like I feared and heard more expensive bands would be). I highly recommend The Herringbones if you're looking for a band that is professional, flexible and will make your special day even more special!

The Herringbones are truly an exceptional band! They are incredibly talented, professional, and a pleasure to work with. They played a perfect variety of songs that kept our guests entertained all night long. To our surprise they even performed a couple of our special request songs in flawless Spanish!! This band aims to please. I am not a dancer at all, and I did not want to leave the dance floor because of the entertainment they provided. I can't recommend this band enough. By booking this band you are guaranteeing that your event will be a big hit!! Emily Thomas Lleo, Shelby NC September 22 2012 (posted on Gigmasters, 5 of 5 stars in all categories)

We were so very pleased with Steve and the Herringbones! I soooo appreciated how they were so organized in helping us choose the songs, replying back promptly to questions and taking the initiative to meet up and make sure we had everything planned and squared away way in advance. They learned a new song (in a specific version) for my mother daughter dance and were flexible enough to allow friends of mine to sing our first dance and to let my groom play a song! As far as their actual playing-what we really appreciated was that they were very true to the songs they were covering but they still made the songs their own; they weren't trying to just copy the radio. Everyone in the band is obviously very talented and seasoned not only in playing but in MC'ing (another thing I was sooo thankful for). One of my friends who was a wedding planner for several years and who has heard a TON of wedding bands and she made a point of telling me that the Herringbones were one of the best wedding bands she's ever heard/seen. Thank-you Steve and the band SO much!! Lian-Marie Holmes Munro, Wedding Reception, Winston-Salem SC  May 26, 2012

The Herringbones helped to make our daughter's reception absolutely the greatest! Where normally one would receive comments on the decor, venue or food, everyone was coming up to me to let me know how awesome the band was--everyone loved them! They played music from a number of different genres which helped the band to connect to everyone in attendance. Since we are from a small town, the Herringbones were the only ones we were working with in regards to the wedding and reception of which we did not know personally. However, upon our first meeting, they set our mind at ease when they simply said, "We won't let you down." They truly lived up to that--they truly did not let us down and exceeded anything that we could ever have hoped for. I loved them so much I have looked at their website to see when they will be performing for public events in our area so that I can hear them again. So, if you have a wedding reception (or any event) of which you need a band and want to take it up to a "level above the rest," be sure to give the Herringbones a call--their cost was very reasonable and definitely made the reception an event that all who attended will remember. We made contact and scheduled the band for the reception and they made it very simple and convenient to get everything in order prior to the event. Thank you Herringbones for making our daughter and her husband's wedding reception absolutely wonderful for everyone! It couldn't have been a more wonderful day!

The Herringbones were absolutely amazing! They played the best songs and everyone had the best time. Our reception site staff were very pleased with them and how easy they were to accommodate. I would highly recommend The Herringbones to anyone! Drew Russell, Wedding Reception, Charlotte NC June 2, 2012 posted on Gigmasters (5 of 5 stars in every category)

Thank you, Herringbones!!!  You absolutely, positively made our reception a complete success!  I cannot tell you how many times people came up to me to say what a great band the Herringbones are!  You had everyone dancing until the very end.  From the dinner hour music to the upbeat songs that keep the dance floor crowded, it was simply perfect.  We had high hopes and you surpassed them by far!  I would recommend you 100% to anyone looking for an awesome band.  Thanks for everything!! Lindsey and Mac Wheeler  Wedding Reception, Tega Cay SC January 21, 2012

"I strongly recommend having the Herringbones play for any event. I had booked the band for my wedding on May 29, 2010. Working with Steve throughout the entire process was very easy and he was very helpful. The band sounded amazing and kept everyone on the dance floor. They made my wedding so much fun that all of the guests did not want to leave! They were so great at keeping the energy up, and people dancing. They had a great selection of songs and they sounded great playing them. Everyone at my wedding Raved about the band and how great they played and what a great job they did. They really made my wedding reception extra special. You can’t find a band that can do a better job!  Megan Harris, Wedding Reception, Lake Wylie, SC April 2010

The Herringbones were AWESOME. We worked with them to make the song list and order of events for the night and they took care of the rest. The music was great as they can truly nail any genera they attempt. Our guests were very impressed and loved listening to them. I wish I had a reason to throw another party so that I could listen to them play again. They are truly top notch, and if you want a band that can play a variety of music, these are the guys. Worth every penny!! Justin Hornby, Greer SC  August 2011  posted on Gigmasters (5 of 5 stars in every category)

I had The Herringbones at my wedding and they were awesome! They kept everyone on their feet and having fun! They're really easy to work with too! Also, they were inexpensive especially considering how good they were!!!  Morgan Crosby, Cedar Mountain, NC

"I just wanted to thank you all again for doing such a great job at our wedding at the Beaufort Inn.  Everyone had such a good time and you guys really kept the party going!  I was so amazed with the band and you all played exactly the music that Brian and I wanted and the guests loved it!  Also, thanks again for learning the song for my Father Daughter dance.  It really made my day special and really surprised my Dad!  Thanks again you guys were great and I would recommend you in a heartbeat! Full of Thanks, Jessica Mattia  Jessica Mattia, Wedding Reception, Beaufort Inn, Beaufort SC   September 2010

"I just wanted to write to tell you how impressed we were working with you before and during our wedding. You listened to everything we discussed at our pre-wedding meetings and were very flexible with the change of plans due to the weather beforehand. During the wedding we looked around and at one point everyone was either on the dance floor or on their feet; and when we think back to our wedding night, that is something we will always remember. As we mentioned before, the music was very important to us and you did not let us down. We would highly recommend anyone to use you! Thanks again  P.S. Shout was the best!"  Ashley and Rich Lowe, Wedding Ceremony & Reception, Lake Lure NC April 2010

The band was absolutely the best, and everybody said so. They were so personable and made everybody feel comfortable and want to party. We are so thrilled that we picked them for our daughter's wedding reception. The selection of music was so well rounded. I don't think there's anything they can't play, and it's even better than the original recordings. Loved it, loved them and would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thanks guys and gal for a great time !!!!Lanie's mom and dad, 5/14/11, Wedding Reception, Lyman SC posted on Gigmasters (5 of 5 stars in every category)

I would definitely recommend The Herringbones for any wedding.  Being the Bride and Groom, you do not have time to make sure things go as planned. The Herringbones gave us everything we expected and more.  They were very professional, did everything we asked from them, knew what they were doing with the wedding timeline,  and their greatest attribute is that they really sound good!   They also guided us through our wedding planning which helped us out a lot. I had several people come up and ask me who this band was, because they played every song very well. Most bands can play a song well, but the vocals are not always there. The Herringbones' vocals is what makes them a really good band. People at my wedding were dancing and having a great time.  When people were not dancing, the MC was very energetic and encouraged the guests to get out on the dance floor. They were our greatest vendor at our wedding.  Chris and Bobbie Richardson, Wedding Reception, Clemmons NC, October 2010

"I cannot express how thrilled I am with The Herringbones' performance at Thursday's Block Party here in Lake Carolina! I hope the band had as good a time as all of our Lake Carolinians did! I will certainly be in touch to get you involved in future events. Thanks again!"Amanda Bartlett, Community Relations Coordinator, Lake Carolina Development, Block Party, May 2010

"The Herringbones ROCKED our cookout!  They arrived on time, set up quickly, dealt with TORRENTIAL downpours that could have ruined the evening, and STILL started on time.  Professional, personable and talented.  I think every one of our almost 100 guests asked us 'where did you find these guys'?  We booked them for the following year immediately. Cannot recommend them enough." Kristin Hubbard, Concord NC July 2010

The Herringbones were one of my favorite bands that we have ever used. My organization uses at least 4 different bands per year and everyone was very happy with the Herringbones. They are very professional yet fun and lively. They played throughout the night with minimal breaks. They had everyone out on the dance floor having a wonderful time. Their music sounded great and they played a wide range of songs. Steve, the manager, was enjoyable to work with and I felt that he really cared to make our event the best it could be. I would recommend this band to anyone!Michelle Miller, Kappa Delta Shag Dance, Clemson University, April 2011

"We booked The Herringbones for our June 5, 2010 outdoor wedding reception.  It was by far the easiest part of the wedding planning!  Steve was great to work with from the initial planning to our arrival at our reception.  They listened to our requests and were flexible with our set-up.  The music was great and I know that I danced the night away.  It was very important to us to have a live band at our reception, and The Herringbones did not let us down! " Katie & Adam McCann, Wedding Reception, Clinton SC  June 2010

"Thank you for everything you did with the wedding. Everyone absolutely loved the band (we got so many good comments about you guys!!!). You really know how to get people on the dance floor! Thank you for making our day special and memorable." Morgan & Mike D'Avanzo, Wedding Reception, Rock Hill SC May 2010

"Professional, talented group. I've received countless emails from attendees talking about how great the band was. They were a huge hit. I'd recommend them for any occasion, and look forward to working with them again! " Carmen R, Wedding Reception, Gastonia, NC, 10/3/2009 (posted on Gigmasters)

"The Herringbones were consummate professionals. They fit me in on short notice, provided clear, consistent communication throughout the process and arrived in plenty of time for set-up.  The music was quite good – our guests certainly enjoyed their selections – but as the event planner, I appreciated their attention to detail more than anything else." Katie Huffstetler, Director of Public Relations for Senior Living Communities

The Herringbones were a HUGE success at my daughter's wedding reception. They arrived early in the day and set up an extra performing area--just in case it rained on our outdoor event! I was extrememly impressed with their talent and professionalism. I would recommend this band to anyone! Thank you, thank you!

"Fabulous!! Steve was wonderful to work with and the band was awesome. Wide variety of music and they know how to keep the party going. My daughter wanted a live band for her wedding reception, The Herringbones were very reasonable and they made her dream come true! We are all very pleased and I heard compliments from our guests all night long. I would certainly book The Herringbones again and highly recommend them to anyone in search of a fantastic band!!! " Beth White (very happy MoB), Winston Salem, NC, 10/17/2009

" It was a pleasure to have The Herringbones play at our reception.  Everyone was great to work with - from the time we booked through the end of the reception.  The entire band was very professional and their attention to detail was appreciated.  Their ability and willingness to mix DJ services and live music provided just what we were looking for.  Thank you so much for keeping the guests entertained and on the dance floor.  PS – great job with the live performance of “Then” by Brad Paisley (our last dance). " Rich and Susan G, Fort Mill SC 2009 Wedding Reception

"Wonderful musicians - exceptional people! Thanks for a fun, energized evening - a great time for all. I highly recommend you consider The Herringbones for your next event; they offer a unique diversity of music across genres that will keep any crowd satisfied. Chuck Augello, Owner, Augello's

"I would highly recommend this band. They played great songs and were very professional. Our guests loved the music and the Herringbones were able to get people out on the dance floor. A very fun event." Debbie S, Mother of the Bride, Wedding Reception, Columbia (SC) Country Club 6/2009

"The group was awesome.  As father of the bride I had so many guests at the reception ask me how I found this amazing group of musicians. Not only were they a great group of musicians but they were attentive to details. Steve worked with the bride and groom in advance and understood their requirements, plus worked with the Events Coordinator at the Tega Cay Golf & Conference Center. Members of the sound team were there at 10 am getting all the equipment and sound ready for the reception that began at 6:30 pm. Again thanks to Steve and the group for making my daughter's Wedding Reception such a wonderful event. Lee Bowers, Father of the Bride, Wedding Reception, 2009

"The band was amazing!! I told them that I wanted a fun reception and they picked the music to create just that. Everybody was dancing and having a great time. Would definitely recommend this band for your next event! Thanks guys!! Karmen B, Wedding Reception, Hilton DeSoto, Savannah GA August 2010 posted on Gigmasters (5 of 5 stars in every category)

The band just played at our wedding and they were awesome!! Quite a crowd pleaser and so much fun to listen to! -Amanda P, 4/2/2011, Wedding Reception, Rock Hill, SC posted on Gigmasters (5 of 5 stars in every category)
