Review by James W.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 18, 2026•From Watertown, MA

Blake is the best, and his band is fantastic. We hired them to play at a 50th-birthday house party, and they were the hit of the evening. Music was amazing, there were great interactions with the guests, and they were very accommodating to the needs of our event. Five stars, and hope to have an occasion to bring them back again.

Thanks again, James — it was great to meet you and play at your party! Please come visit us at the Liberty Hotel on some Wednesday!

Celebration•Reviewed on April 13, 2025•From Lowell, MA

The Blake Newman group was the perfect choice to entertain at my daughter's bridal shower. My guests said it was the best shower they had ever been to! This talented group of musicians thoroughly entertained us, meeting every request asked of them. I would hire them again and would recommend them to any of my friends! If you are looking for outstanding musicians to wow your guests, they are the band to hire!!

Blake Newman was extremely accommodating to our requests for this special event. He made the process effortless and selected musicians and a song set that was perfect for the occasion. The group’s musical talent was notable, with many guests commenting on how exceptional the band sounded. We couldn’t have made a better choice and I highly recommend Blake Newman for your entertainment needs.

Baby Shower•Reviewed on June 5, 2023•From Jamaica Plain, MA

The Blake Newman Group made our party! We hired them to play at our baby shower/house warming party and they were a hit. They were professional, great communicators, wonderful musicians, and did a great job. We'd highly recommend and would happily hire them again.

Private Party•Reviewed on May 11, 2023•From Brighton, MA

Blake is amazing! We were in California - planning an event in Boston - and Blake made it all so easy. Everything was perfect: All the guys in the trio are excellent musicians with an extensive set list, pleasant to work with, quick to set up, and great with our guests. The music was perfect for the event; we got a bazillion compliments - not only from our friends and family but also from people on the other side of the fireplace in the restaurant! I'm only sorry that we don't live in Boston so that we could come out and listen to the Blake Newman Trio anytime we wanted to.

They performed in my backyard in October, under unfavorable weather conditions, and were still consummate professionals and put on a fabulous performance. It was a great addition to our party

High School Reunion•Reviewed on October 2, 2022•From Farmington, CT

Working with the Blake Newman group was a pleasure and seamless! We booked them about a week and a half in advance of our event and they handled everything quickly and easily and I felt totally confident going into a major event.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 14, 2022•From West Hartford, CT

The group was amazing! They blended right into our birthday party, they were professional, talented, prompt, and easy to communicate with. Very responsive and flexible. We had a jazz trio with keyboard bass and drums. It was the perfect choice!

We loved their group! So did our guests!! Turn out to our event was great and the Blake Newman group was definitely a crowd pleaser, with many people staying longer to enjoy the event than usual. We loved working with them, booking and set up was a breeze. Great team, great musicians!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 4, 2022•From Waltham, MA

The BLAKE NEWMAN GROUP played beautifully at our 50th Wedding Anniversary Party and even included a favorite song of ours (from the years-past French movie, "A Man and A Woman"). Guests thought they were wonderful and our photographer said he would recommend them to his Wedding clients. Blake and his musicians made our Party a truly memorable night for us.

Thanks, Paula! It was great to play for you and Gary and your guests. Congratulations again on such an admirable milestone!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 1, 2022•From Swampscott, MA

One of the best experiences in recent memory.... Blake and his group recently played at a party I threw for my wife's birthday. This was a relatively small and intimate gathering at our home, and I was hoping to make the evening special. Blake and the group arrived on time, set up quickly/seamlessly in our living room, and played for a very impressed group of people. Blake also took the time to work in a few special tunes I had requested not on their setlist. They did a great job reading the room and keeping everyone entertained. I am not overstating it when I say that this was one of the best experiences I can remember. Friendly, professional, and talented. A+

Thanks Max! It was great to play for such an appreciative crowd!

Thank you, Jon--it was great to meet you and play for your beautiful gathering!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 16, 2021•From Randolph, MA

Outstanding -- a true class act. The Blake Newman Group was hired for a corporate function and we received numerous compliments on their performance. Nothing beats live music and they were the icing on the cake. Will hire them again for an April event.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 13, 2019•From Keene, NH

TOP NOTCH!! I hired the Blake Newman Group for my daughter's wedding. The entire day went off without a problem and the Blake Newman Group did their part to contribute to the festive atmosphere. Blake and his entire ensemble were prompt and professional. From the initial discussions regarding schedule months ago, or fulfilling special requests, all correspondence and responses were exceedingly professional. I highly recommend Blake and his band whenever you are looking for sophisticated jazz or easy listening tunes by a group of awesome guys. Thank you Blake!!

:

Thanks Dave--it was a pleasure to play for you and your family. And your daughter is a great singer!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on December 3, 2018•From Derry, NH

Blake and his accompanying musicians were fantastic! Blake was incredibly easy to book and to work with throughout. They exceeded our expectations for great jazz during our wedding cocktail hour - we and our guests loved it! (even my 18 month old niece was dancing along to the music) Phenomenal music and professional to work with, I would highly recommend the Blake Newman Group.

:

Thanks so much, Dana--it was a pleasure playing for you and your friends and family. Please remind your dad, the next time he's in town, that we're at Boston's Liberty Hotel every Wednesday evening! Cheers...
