Review by Joy P.

Anniversary PartyReviewed on July 11, 2018From Waitsfield, VT

We celebrated our 30th anniversary with 90 friends and The Phil Abair band rocked the tent for 3 hours. Everyone danced--even friends who "don't dance". They took one break and then kept on playing until the party was over. They are talented and can play just about anything. I asked them to learn a song to surprise my husband (it was the first song played at our wedding). They learned it and played it for us and it was great. Everyone commented on how good the band was. I would certainly hire them again. They were amazing!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on June 10, 2018From Stowe, VT

Phil and the members of his band made a really good birthday party GREAT. They played a beautiful soft set through cocktails and dinner and then had everyone up and dancing for the rest of the evening. What I loved was how well they knew our guest’s musical tastes, especially considering we ranged in age from 8 to eighty! They’re professional, easy to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone thinking about having music for an event. You won’t be disappointed.

The Phil Abair Band:

Hi Mary and Tom Great time was had by all, including us..Thanks for having the band play..You treated us like rock stars your son was a pleasure to play with also Maybe have us back for the next party..we'd love it

Corporate FunctionReviewed on January 31, 2018From Lake Placid, NY

The Phil Abair Band was AMAZING - 5 stars on all points! That was the VERY first time I've seen my sales team (mostly men) all dancing on the floor, laughing, sweating and having a GREAT time! I've already recommended them to the hotel that I'm staying at in Lake Placid in case they get any future local band requests. We will definitely be using them again in the future! :-)

The Phil Abair Band:

Hi James First let me thank you for the kind words.. Now I want you to know that I think you are a great person to hire a band...very accommodating and our communications were are great. The whole band had a blast ... it was the first time we've ever been hip hip hoorayed
