Retirement Party•Reviewed on June 18, 2018•From Quantico, VA
Rick and the Lonesome Ryder Band were great in all regards. Very easy to work with and responsive to all my particular needs. They “customized” the show to make my retirement ceremony and reception even more memorable. Great music and interaction with my guests. Everyone loved it. Rick, can’t thank you and the band enough for everything! Hope to see ya in Texas!

Col. James Edmunds, USMC, Retired.
Sir, it was an honor to be a part of your retirement ceremony, honoring & recognizing your 34 years of devoted, loyal and dedicated service to our country! You and Michelle were great! And to all of the families & Marines present, their mutual respect and admiration for you was certain apparent!

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 14, 2018•From Richmond, VA
Not only did they play all of my favorite songs, but every single member of the band was kind and funny. Rick even pulled my grandma on stage and taught her to play drums! Thank you guys so much for everything.
:
Bella is the sweetest client ever! She knew exactly what she wanted for the special songs selections & her mom was very supportive too! Needless to say, we all had a great time! But the best part came when after repeated coaxing to try and get Bella (a drummer herself) up on the drums, I got her grandma to play drums, her first time ever! It was great! The video is on our Facebook page and on YouTube as well!
I just wish every client was so communicative, easy to work with and FUN as Bella & her wonderful family!
Thank You again Bella! And here's to a great start of your adult life!
Always at your Service!

Private Party•Reviewed on November 20, 2017•From Washington, DC
We had the best time with the Lonesome Ryder Band! They were early and ready to go and gave us a phenomenal performance. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a country western band..traditional or modern.
:
Amanda,
You are our best client to-date! You were so organized & had it all together, and we worked so well together, you and I! Your group was amazing, responsive and FUN! One of the most notably aspects I noticed was, that your age group of 20's & 30's something all LOVED Country music! And from watching the videos, I could see them singing to "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" just as much as "Wagon Wheel" & "Drink In My Hand"!
Thanks to ya'll, the Lonesome Ryder Band is now Oklahoma fans forever!!!!!!!!!!
Always at your Service anytime!

Private Party•Reviewed on October 31, 2017•From Stafford, VA
They were a wonderful day and they really got the crowd involved and up and dancing their music was well presented we really really enjoyed them
:
I just want to personally thank Michelle & Steve for a wonderful Halloween Party this past Saturday night out in Stafford, VA. They were just the best clients ever and Michelle was a great Hostess! Steve surprised the band with his incredible vocal talents and stage presence! I may have to hire him in the future, whenever he may be available! It was just a warm, friendly FUN event! One of the best ever for us as a band! And believe you me, we've had some great events over the past seven years of being in business, but this one was tops! BIG THANKS once again to Michelle for hiring the band and making this workout so well and for such a great party night!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 27, 2017•From Clifton, VA
The lead musician was highly professional and acommidared every aspect of our 100 person surprise party for my wife's birthday.
Their was a myriad of music selections and several preplanning calls prior to event.
Rick was as accommodating and genuine as one could be and the nave members were kind and frankly, played as though they loved
Their music and the just another " gig".
I would not hesitate to call them again as as a fellow musician, just terrific.
They accommodated everyone and all had the best party ever. Kind regards and thank you Rick and band members.
Chief and Rose.
:
Chief,
You are without a doubt, the absolute best client ever!!! From the two pre-event onsite preps, it was certainly apparent to me that you had it all together! You knew exactly what you wanted and you were well prepared! Furthermore, I loved sitting in on drums with you and your band in the earlier portion of the night! And we certainly all enjoyed having you play bass with the Lonesome Ryder Band! What a night!!! Next time, I will be the one hiring you!
Once again, we all wish Rose a very Happy Birthday!
Always at your Service!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 22, 2017•From Lovettsville, VA
These guys played for my wife's 50th birthday party. They were GREAT!!!!!! a good variety of music interacted with our guests and even some jokes thrown from time to time. We had a blast with them on a scale of one to five. We give them a 10!!! We will spread the word and most definitely be having them back to play for us in the future.
:
I just want to say that John & Melissa were the absolute best clients! They and their family & group were amazingly F U N! We played, performed, laughed, joked, danced and carried on like never before! They made us all in the band feel every bit as much a part of the party group as they were! They were GREAT!!! And we look forward to providing their musical entertainment again, any and every time they call! The Lonesome Ryder Band will always be at your Service, John & Melissa!
All our Best!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 31, 2017•From Round Hill, VA
Very talented group of musicians! We hired Lonesome Ryder Band for our anniversary party, and even though it was a relatively small group of people, they played like we were a crowd of hundreds. Even to the very end when it was literally our family and our parents (10 people) they were rocking out! Great mix of classic rock, southern rock, and they even learned a song that wasn't in their wheelhouse in about two weeks for my husband. It was an awesome treat for both of us. Thanks guys everyone loved the music!
:
Meredith,
You are an amazing person and a wonderful client! You worked so hard in the organization, planning, prep, setup, details and song request. You even dealt with the difficult challenges of the early morning pre-power outage, getting the outdoor tents and right down to the late night garage door that didn't want to close! LOL You, Justin and your family & friends were so much FUN!
Thank You again for having us entertain your group! Please feel free to call on us again anytime!
Always at your Service,

Review by Litsa K.
Corporate Function•Reviewed on May 18, 2017•From New Kent, VA
:
I'm shocked by such a scathing review from Litsa! Yes, I did plenty of follow up calls, emails & several attempts to communicate over the course of several months! Unfortunately, Litsa waited until the final day or two before the event to respond. I had to contact the choreographer to get the song list & special requests. No wonder someone's Ipod playlist was needed, she NEVER provided them in advance. I personally spent quite a bit of time talking to Ken Price, the owner. Never once did he express any displeasure! In fact, quite the contrary! He was praising & pleased! Two female singers- the caterer was requested by the guest to sing! The other, Litsa's friend!

Private Party•Reviewed on October 19, 2015•From Richmond, VA
Band was super professional, arrived early, set up and impressed a mixed crowd of both young and old. Great job guys! Highly recommend LRB
:
Margret & Wayne were very gracious host, charming and full of Southern hospitality! They have built an amazing house and they're surrounded by such wonderful community neighbors & friends! Wayne loved the fact that our bass player Vince, looks so similar to Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. That night, Wayne requested a few Dead songs, but unfortunately we only knew one or two! But we had a great time with great people! We especially loved sitting around the fire pit table for the buffet with the FUN GROUP!
Thanks again Russ for having us perform and we look forward to our next event together!
All our Best!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 5, 2015•From Frederick, MD
I am colossally disappointed in our experience with the Lonesome Ryder Band. After a bumpy start about payment issues (they insisted we pay them directly instead of using the Gigmasters site), we still hoped they would deliver the fantastic talent we saw in their videos and other reviews. They arrived approximately 4 hours after the agreed time and had did sound check during dinner--something we asked them not to do. They failed to set up on time for cocktail hour, so we had to find a spare church speaker to play music during the cocktail and dinner hours. They played only one of the three songs we requested from them months before the event.
:
We're disappointed too! The "bumpy start" was the client's initial bad check! We were contractually on time! The bride & groom became drunk, disorderly & hostile at the end of the night, while packing up! The church pastor, Rick (deacon), the bride's sister Brooke & her mom all apologized for Kasey & Mike's behavior! We played five hours, provided sound for dinner & Ipod selections. Everyone danced, had a great time & loved the band! See photo's & videos on Youtube & Facebook. Shame on Gigmasters for allowing libelous non-compliant ratings of 0.5 below the minimum of 1. LRB has five years of dedicated & loyal vendor service with consecutive five star ratings! LRB

Everyone had a great time. They showed up early and were ready to begin right on time. They seemed to enjoy performing as much as we loved having them.
:
I have to say that Pat and his lovely wife Beth are the best clients ever! I met Pat for a pre-event meeting to go over the facility venue, details and client/guest special requests! Everyone there the night of the event was so wonderful and they danced & danced and boy did they dance! We all had such FUN!!! What a great night with a great group of people!
We look forward to coming back again sometime in the future to perform for this amazing group at such a lovely community facility for the "55 & Over" Crowd!!!
Thank You once again Pat & Beth!
Best Regards!,
