Review by Jake T.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 26, 2023•From Beavercreek, OH

Tom was excellent all the way around. He showed up with plenty of time to set up before the event. Asked questions about how I would like the evening to go and was a total professional the entire evening. His volume was perfect for the crowd of 20ish and the volume allowed for enjoyment while not dominating the environment. Looking forward to having Tom back again!

Tom A. Grimes:

Hi Jake...thanks so much for the kind words. It was my pleasure to provide entertainment for the event. I look forward to hearing from you in the future!

Tom was a total pro. We threw many curveballs at him, with special requests regarding the tunes to play and accommodating guest musicians from among our clients. It all worked out perfectly, and we are very much indebted to the band for making our event a total success, as the music was the centerpiece of it all. Thanks again, Tom.

Tom A. Grimes:

Thanks so much Joe....we all had a great time at your event and want to thank you again for inviting us to join you and your group! Best wishes - Tom

Tom Grimes was very accommodating beforehand with song requests and questions regarding his physical staging set up with the hotel, etc. All members were professional and a pleasure to have at our event.

Review by Melissa K.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 25, 2022•From Okahumpka, FL

The Grimes Alley Blues Band was full of awesome sauce! They were prompt. And everyone in the band was so, friendly. The set list of songs played was totally blues and classic rocking! We had so, many of our guest that complimented on how much they loved them. We will definitely request for them to perform again or hope to be invited to any parties where they are at. Cannot wait to see them again!

Tom A. Grimes:

Hi Melissa and thanks so much for the kind words! We had a tremendous time playing for the crowd and hope to be back in the future. Hoping you came through Ian in good shape. Be well - Tom

Review by Mike O.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 9, 2019•From North Port, FL

I rarely give a 5 star review, but pleased to do so for this group. They are outstanding musicians and vocalists. My guests raved about them. They have a broad repertoire. People were singing and dancing to favorites they recognized. The audience was 5 years to 90 years, and each person enjoyed the performance equally. They accommodated special presentations between their sets and recognized the guest of honor during their sets. I have hired many bands in the past for both personal and business events, and the Grimes Alley Blues Band was one of the best in performance and in value. I highly recommend them for your event.

Tom A. Grimes:

Mike...thanks for the kind words! We had a tremendous time that night and we hope to get the chance to work with you again in the future. Maybe at your dad's 100th Birthday party! Be well - Tom

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on November 7, 2016•From Orlando, FL

They were wonderful! They came early to set up and even though their "style" may not have totally fit the crowd (50th anniversary party), they did a great job adapting and were extremely professional. They are very talented and I would definitely recommend them!

Thanks for the kind words Brie! We were treated wonderfully and all had a great time....thanks so much for inviting us to join you and all the guests at your parents Anniversary celebration. Best wishes! Tom

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 29, 2014•From Lake Helen, FL

We were very satisfied with the band. Very professional and very polite. The genre of music was exactly what we were looking for. Very professional on stage and off, and the stage set up looked great. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a blues/rock band at their event. First time using this site and very pleased with the band we booked! Thanks Grimes Alley Blues Band!
