Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 7, 2022•From Duluth, MN

Steve was very responsive to emails texts and phone calls! If I had any questions, he would answer in a timely manner. The Blue Drifters are very talented and fairly priced-they came from Minneapolis/st. Paul area to Duluth to play for three hours at our reception. They are very accommodating to any request. Love them.

Family Reunion•Reviewed on October 9, 2021•From Deer River, MN

The band was great! Nicest guys you'll ever meet. A few of them drove about 4 hours to get here. They arrived early and played late, even though it was cold and dark. They even brought their own lighting to illuminate an outdoor stage setting. The music was so much fun and a good time was had by all.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 29, 2018•From Minneapolis, MN

Blue Drifters Acoustic Quartet was fantastic! They played for 3 hours at our conference's opening reception on Nicollet Island Pavilion. We had to start a little early, but they were ready to go. They played a nice mix of upbeat and more mellow/slow bluegrass. Additionally, the music was not too loud, allowing people to talk and network. The Band was very easy to communicate and work with, providing quick responses to email inquiries and minor last minute changes.

Great set of musicians. Great performance for our national night out event for around 150 people! Super easy to work with!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 10, 2018•From Mason City, IA

This band went above and beyond in traveling to our event and then also getting everything set up and brought in from the rain. We had tornados and they still played on and made it an eventful night. Everyone had a fabulous time and wonderful stuff to say about the band! Thankful for them keeping the night going during the rough storms!

We were so happy to have the Blue Drifters perform at our Spring Artisan Fair! They are so talented and engaging, a real crowd pleaser. The music was wonderful and everyone had a great time. I appreciate their flexibility and professionalism and hope to have them back again for a future engagement. THANK YOU!!!

Blue Drifters were wonderful! Despite the rain for our outdoor event, Wisconsin Colorfest & BBQ Bash, they did an awesome job and kept everyone entertained!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 1, 2017•From Deerwood, MN

Working with the band was so easy. We had multiple communications among multiple people (the bride, the brides family) and the band was flexible and accommodating to all of our requests. They are a talented bunch of musicians and interacted in a very friendly way with our guests.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 24, 2017•From Mound, MN

Birthday Party - 100 guests aged 1-95 yrs. The music DAZZLED. Great communication and deft at reading the crowd. Unique hillbilly/jazzy vibe; retro meets hipster. Pros all around. Musically complex and sophisticated, and really down-home fun at the same time. Depth of knowledge, years of experience, top notch musicianship. Good background music for gabby guests, and a truly great performance for those who paid closer attention. Perfect. I would hire these guys for a variety of events, they could swing to meet so many needs. These guys deliver artistically while leaving the planner (me!) with peace and utter confidence. Bravo, Blue Drifters!

Outstanding!!!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 19, 2017•From Excelsior, MN

I can't say enough about Steven Earl Howard and the Blue Drifters. They played my wedding on June 10th, and rocked it! They came despite the heat and bugs- true professionals. My favorite was when they broke out the banjo. Perfect for my outdoor farm/sculpture garden setting at Big Stone Mini Golf and Sculpture Garden. There is nothing that quite compares to actual LIVE music for a wedding, instead of the impersonal feeling of a DJ playing "the Macarena." Highly recommended for your next wedding or party guys.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 30, 2016•From Brantwood, WI

Steve Earl Howard and the Blue Drifters were wonderful at our wedding. They played background tunes during dinner and then dancing songs afterward. We had many positive compliments from our guests! They must have had a few technical issues because their microphones were squeaking, but overall they were awesome. We would definitely hire them again and recommend them to others!
