Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 1, 2011•From Stephentown, NY
The band arrived perfectly on time to get everything set up properly. Upon arrival, the band was sound checking within no time, and had all the guests very anxious for the party. The character of each individual band member was great, and the audience interaction was perfect. The song list was spectacular, and had everyone dancing from start to finish. All great instrumentalists, great vocalists, over the event was a total success, and Mama Tried was the perfect band for the bill. A+++++, would hire again, and would certainly recommend to anyone looking to book a progressive blue grass band with a lot of character, authenticity, and talent. THANK YOU!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 23, 2010•From Bear Mountain, NY
We hired Mama Tried for our June 2010 wedding. They did an acoustic set for the ceremony out by a lake and a plugged in jam for part of our reception. These band members are not only amazing performers, but also good-natured people! Mama Tried learned two songs for us and put their own bluegrass spin on them. They were flexible with everything and even invited us up to sing with them during their last song! I have pics of the band with whole-hearted smiles during the nuptials too. I can't say enough positive things about this group. Thank you guys so much for everything. Anyone reading this should not hesitate to hire this wonderful band of talented, awesome people.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 24, 2011•From Derby, CT
Mama Tried was a perfect fit for our wedding. They played from the ceremony through until the last hour and a half when a DJ took over. Their music during the ceremony made it extra special. They learned and played the song for our first dance. All of the guests enjoyed the music with lots of dancing going on. They were excellent in every way!

Celebration•Reviewed on July 31, 2015•From Round Top, NY
They were absolutely amazing. We had people in our group who got up and danced for the first time in decades. EVERYONE in our pre wedding party said they were the best group they had ever heard at a party. Several people where we're staying came to listen to the music, commented on how wonderful they were and were interested in hiring them for other events. They were also really nice people, flexible and very professional. We would recommend them to everyone.

Great band. Great fun! We loved Mama Tried! Mourn guests were impressed. I'd definitely consider booking them again and highly recommend them to anyone wanting a great bluegrass band. They even converted one of our favorite pop songs into a bluegrass tune and it was a highlight of their performance.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on July 14, 2013•From Woodstock, NY
Mama Tried - thank you thank you thank you!!! Mama Tried (5 piece bluegrass band) played our wedding in Woodstock NY July 6 2013. I don't know where to start in praising these guys. They were fantastic and had the international dance floor rocking. Mel and the band were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were professional, accommodating, down to earth, very reasonably priced, extraordinarily talented musicians (excellent musicianship and awesome vocals), good fun, read the crowd perfectly and played beyond the time we'd agreed... the crowd made it hard for them to stop! I highly recommend Mama Tried to anyone considering an AWESOME bluegrass band!

Mama Tried was great to work with before the event as well as during the event. We had great communication and they made every effort to accomodate our requests. Their music is fun and lively and contributed to the success of our outdoor garden fundraiser. They were a pleasure to work with. Thanks guys!
