Review by Tim W.

FundraiserReviewed on September 29, 2025From Palatine, IL

We were very pleased with the professionalism and talent of Bourbon Aristocracy. Ethan Sellers and I were in contact over the past couple of months on a fairly regular basis. The music was well received by our attendees as they mingled at the beginning of our event. The only reason I dropped the overall rating to 4.5 (instead of 5) is that I asked at contract signing time if they might play for an additional 15-30 minutes, but Ethan said that would require a new contract and additional cost.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on June 1, 2015From Saint Charles, IL

I'm writing this the morning after this group played a 2-set 90 minute concert in our home for a birthday party for my 90-year old Dad. In a word, they were AWESOME. Totally accommodating and professional. They worked in several "Special request" tunes to fit the occasion and played with skill and joy. They arrived on time, interacted with the audience, and got wild applause. We had the full 5-person group and recommend them highly. I hope they can return for my Dad's 100th birthday celebration 10 years from now.....

Corporate FunctionReviewed on September 28, 2013From Chicago, IL

These guys were fun, talented, and adapted to the requests and space that they were given. Our event was nothing more than a networking reception that was themed towards blue grass. Their generosity, and sincere interest in our event was the first thing that we were impressed with even during the booking process. We plan to repeat our event next year, and will definitely be calling Ethan and his team back!
