We worked with The Walkens for our corporate function and they were excellent! Very accommodating to our theme and dress code for the evening and played a great variety of music. We would definitely recommend them and use them in the future!

Great professional band. We used them for a corporate event and the sound was perfect. They took requests and adjusted the volume as necessary. Tod and Band were very easy to work with and really kept the demographics of my group in mind. They were set up on time and lived up to all their contract terms 100%. I plan on hiring them again!

Hire them now if you want your entire group to get on their feet. (We never saw this happen in all the years of our annual mtgs with age range 35 to 85.) Fabulously talented lead guitarist, & lead singer with range up to beautiful tenor. Very professional, arrived on time, & had extensive songlist over many generations. They also know those beautiful or great yet maybe somewhat obscure songs by big groups that you love but never hear. Cannot say enough. It made our week & we have tough-to-wow members.

The Walkens had it all--talent, range (Taylor Swift and Megan Traynor to the Eagles to Led Zepplin, Mustang Sally, everything in between), enthusiasm, and professionalism, and were very easy to work with. I would absolutely book them again, and am so glad that we had them for the party last night!

Todd and the guys were very easy to work with. They accommodated most every request we had and let our Director play and sing along with them. It was a treat for all of us.
Thank you for a great evening!

We immediately know they were our band. Tod and his band are amazing, hard working and talented musicians. Our wedding was at the Sanctuary so the venue was great, food amazing.....but everyone, and we mean EVERYONE is still talking about the band. We wanted a band that was personable and kept everyone on their feet dancing the whole night...and they were simply perfect. Would try and create an event just to have them play again! We truly felt they were interested in us, our family and friends and our wedding day.

Wow!! Thank you, thank you to The Walken's for putting on an amazing performance at my wedding. We requested 2 songs to be played at our wedding that were not on the song list and not only did they learn the songs for us, they performed them perfectly! We had family members who don't dance hanging out on the dance floor most of the night too! Tod was very professional, easy to work with and even made a few suggestions that worked out great! Thank you again!!

5 Stars from Start to Finish. They played for 3 hours at a corporate event. Tod and the band were extremely talented and very accommodating.... they let a dozen people sit in on songs and worked with everybody's talent level. They brought extra instruments with them allowing us to sit in, arrived on time, set up and gave a great show. I will definitely hire them again and I would recommend them for any event. They have a great song list and easily move from light rock to classics to country. AND THEY SOUND GREAT!

The Walkens were one of the best part about our wedding. We not only had a blast, but I still continue to get compliments on how great the band was over two months after our wedding. They were friendly, fun, and played the best music. We held an outside reception and they were accommodating to any request that we had including helping us DJ during our dinner for introductions. On top of everything they were reasonably priced and worth every penny. I would definitely recommend them to anyone for their wedding or event!

My client felt the Walken's were an outstanding band and would use them again in the future. They really thought they got a lot of sound out of a 4 piece band.

The Walkens were fantastic for our wedding reception. Being from NJ, we organized a destination wedding and wanted country music. As the night pressed on, The Walkens read our crowd to keep them dancing and out of their seats. They caught us by surprise with the hava nagila-an unexpected request! Todd ended the night w/ a solo encore!
The next morning, everyone raved about the band. 90% of our guests said that our wedding reception was the most dancing they had ever done! (Funny Part: we didn't want dancing at our reception-The Walkens just made it happen!) Many of our guests were wondering, "how did you find them?" Thx GigM's!The Walkens are an Excellent choice!

The Walkens were fantastic! The dance floor was never empty! Our guests would dance 2 songs, then decide they should sit down, but...another GREAT song came on, so they stayed on the floor. The song we chose for our first dance was not on The Walkens play list but they agreed to learn it in only 2 weeks. I highly recommend The Walkens, and I will be looking for them when they play in town!

Wow! The Walkens killed it! They played at our wedding a week ago and guests are still talking about how good they were. Guests thought the DJ was playing for the first 6 songs because they sounded so good. They kept the dance floor PACKED and moving all night yet at the same time, knew the good times to slow it down. Tod's voice is amazing and their play list is one of the biggest I've seen. I would definitely recommend The Walkens to anyone that is looking for a band for any venue. They're professionalism, appearance, and attentiveness to the flow of the wedding were right on. They truly brought our wedding to the next level. Book them, you will NOT regret it!

Grand Opening•Reviewed on November 6, 2010•From Phoenix, AZ
The Walkens were terrific all-around. Their communication was great with me preceding the event, they were prompt in arrival, and excellent as a band! They had a terrific variety of music and were so talented that when asked to play requests they hadn't rehearsed, they sounded like they had been playing them for years. I would highly recommend this band for any company, social, or club event! Their rates are very reasonable too.

The Walkens were the first band we went to review before our wedding, but not the only band. We were impressed with their musicianship and overall presence immediately! They were more than willing to accomodate our special requests (acoustic set during cocktail hour, streaming specific songs and genres for our family's enjoyment). When I asked if they played a specific song by Dave Matthews Band (a lyric in this song as a part of our wedding theme) they said no. But Tod graciously offered to learn the song for us! I also could not tell you how many of our guests said the Walkens were amazing! The Walkens helped make our wedding reception one to remember! Thanks guys!

We couldnt have been anymore pleased with their performance. They made our wedding perfect and special, from special requests to song selection, they kept every person dancing and enjoying the night. We couldnt list the amount of compliments we received.
We had many friends of our parents dance for the first time in years at a wedding because of their music. Even family members who hate weddings came up to us the next day and said how much they enjoyed it.
We can only recommend The Walkens with the highest regards
Thank you guys!

The Walkens were fantastic, they made the whole wedding. We had such a terrific night and danced the whole time. Our wedding would not have been complete and as wonderful as it was without them. Thanks guys you were the hit of the party and everyone from the wedding is still talking about how great you were.

The Walkens are amazing! They kept our wedding rocking all night long with a wide variety of music. We received countless compliments from both our young and elderly guests.
We had a technical issue with our iPod during our first dance. Tod immediately downloaded our song AND special software to speed up the tempo. The Walkens went above and beyond to accommodate our specific requests and even played for an extra hour!
Tod is an excellent MC. He brought excitement and humor, and ran the entire night smoothly. The Walkens will add an incredibly fun atmosphere and will keep your guests on the dance floor and make your party a night everyone will remember!

Tod Miller and The Walkens Band were an exceptional addition to our corporate picnic of about 6,000 people, all ages. The range of music was broad and the quality outstanding! We received several positive comments about the group from attendees. Tod was always accommodating and prompt to respond to any questions. I recommend The Walkens Band without reservation for any corporate or other event that requires high quality music and a broad song list.
