Jackass Flats was fantastic! Travis was very easy to work with and did a nice rendition of the first dance song we requested. We've already discussed that it would be fun to have them play an encore for a party down the road!

The Band Members are solid people that had a great time playing for us, or at least they made me think that they did. Wonderful group of guys.
The music was perfect for us. With the social aspect of the event the band handled being back ground music as well as front line music flawlessly. Again cant say enough about the band members.

Hi Mike,
I hope this email finds you well. Apologies for the delayed response! Rest assured, our silence certainly wasn't a reflection of our experience. Quite the contrary, actually! We were absolutely thrilled with the band's performance—it was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our wedding day.
Jackass Flats nailed it with the perfect songlist and maintained just the right energy throughout the entire evening. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the music, and it truly made the celebration memorable. Travis, in particular, was a delight to work with, and his professionalism did not go unnoticed.
I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for all your assistance throughout the planning process. Your expertise and guidance were invaluable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will be happy to leave a review for the band on the Knot.
Thank you once again for everything.
Best regards,

Hey Mike,
I definitely want to share feedback on Jackass Flats because overall we were blown away in a VERY good way!
Jackass Flats was amazing. Ever since our wedding, we have been actively trying to devise other party ideas to book these guys again. Incredibly musically talented, WOW'd our guests and left everyone wanting more. I had a feeling these musicians were going to be good when I asked them to play an acoustic version of Time after Time for the ceremony music and they didn't flinch. Absolute professionals. The energy they brought to the event was more electrifying than we ever anticipated. They were so positive, kept the crowd moving and played hard through the night to keep the energy up. Every guest at our wedding was beyond impressed with their music, energy and magnetism. There were people on the dance floor who never dance; pure magic. We're hooked, we'll be Jackass Flats fans for life and we can't thank them enough for making our wedding a memory we'll never forget.
The entire process of booking through Sam Hill was really smooth. Transparent pricing and contracts, clear communication and very professional. Overall, we've recommended your site several times since our wedding. We're helping a friend plan a party in October and we've definitely told him to check out Sam Hill for talent.
Great experience; wouldn't change a thing about it if we had to do this over!
Thanks for following up! Appreciate the prompt attention both before and after the wedding.

The set list was perfect, and they gave us the songs we requested as well.

Jackass Flats was the best band I could have asked for! They were so easy to work with, so communicative, and honestly made us feel like we were a million dollars because of how happy they were that they got to play at our wedding. Travis was so great and just so helpful with our questions.
The dance floor seemed full the entire night! My mom, my husband, and I basically never left the dance floor haha. They got everyone on their feet even people I would have never expected and that's what we really wanted for our reception. Guests said they were the best band they have seen at a wedding/event and had a blast.
Thank you so much for recommending them and your accommodations throughout choosing them. You, Travis, and the Jackass Flats went above and beyond and I really can't say enough good things about all of ya'll. I will definitely continue to recommend them and you/Sam Hill when picking a band for an event.

Hi Justin,
Jackass Flats were great! We really enjoyed having them play our reception. The guests we have talked to since the wedding have almost invariably commented on how good the band was.
The song selection was fantastic, though admittedly we like a lot of the artists the band covers The Band, Little Feat, Beatles, Stones, etc. We gave Travis a list of would like to hear and don't play songs beforehand and they held to it. They even accommodated our request to learn a song so the bride could sing it with them.
Working with the band was a great experience too. We exchanged a few emails with Travis and had a call with him about a week out. He was very kind and easy to work with. At the wedding, they were all nice guys, very professional yet relaxed and having a good time.
We will for sure leave a review on The Knot.
Thanks for recommending Jackass Flats for our wedding. They were exactly what we were looking for.

The Jackass Flats provided a bluegrass backdrop to our rehearsal dinner and then kept a fairly cosmopolitan crowd dancing. They were ideal. Many people commented about them to me, and it was unanimous and positive. They were refined over dinner and very fun afterward. The song selection was great. We had guests from all over the world, so the bluegrass vibe was appreciated as something unique and local, but they also appealed to youth and international set. I felt they were very in tune with our audience.

Hey Justin,
I knew Jackass Flats would be good...but good grief! THEY KICKED ASS!!!!
It was seriously one of the best parts of our wedding having them there. Everyone LOVED them, including the older members of our family who usually complain about bands at weddings (they were getting down like I've never seen them before), and the band was so flexible and easy to work with, and they played our song request like champs. The Klezmer band had a great time hanging out with them and were so grateful to have Travis and the guys help run sound. What a gift! Jackass Flats also invited one of our friends on stage to play fiddle and it was incredible. It was one of my favorite memories from the wedding. I really can't say enough good things about that band every musician was on point, and they had great chops, vibes, and energy. They were exactly what we wanted and more. I am for sure going to rave about these guys to all my friends. We gotta get them back at an anniversary in the future ;)

Andrew,
Our event was a huge success and it was largely due to Jackass Flats. They were excellent and exceeded our expectations. I still can't believe we were able to get these guys to play at our private event since the quality of their performance and instrumentation is more appropriate for larger music venues and festivals. They gave the impression that they were as happy to be there as we were in hosting them... Although the evening was a bit warm, they seemed to really enjoy playing for us and again, their performance was amazing. From their online reviews, we expected them to be pretty good but I don't think anyone anticipated the quality of their music and entertainment.
In addition to referring Jackass Flats to my colleagues, as well as my intention of paying to see these guys perform whenever they're in the area, I will certainly use your agency in the future should the need arise. Again, your recommendation was spoton and Jackass Flats was amazing. Our guests have been commenting on their performance for a solid week thus far.
Thanks again for all of your help and thanks to Travis and Jackass Flats for making our evening an unforgettable event.

Travis and team,
You were simply fantastic at our wedding last Saturday! Thank you so so so much for jumping into our crazy ideas and giving incredible performances.
It was such a laugh to have you strike up outside the church (and what I think will be a great photo which we will send through once we have them) you made for a wonderful atmosphere! And the set during cocktail hour was so fun the perfect accompaniment to the oyster bar and boat arrival.. You had everyone dancing including some old guys who just had hip replacements! People were astounded by your skills and I think hitching up my dress to dance on the lawn had got to be one of my favorite moments (for Darren it was tapping his feet to the music while trying to eat as many oysters as possible!). Also loved the table to table songs. Thank you for taking special requests and by the shouts from across the tent the table of most of our friends from Tanzania really loved their song so you may need to come to East Africa for your next performance!
We genuinely wish you the best you have fantastic talent and a great set of personalities which is the perfect combo! We hope to see you guys perform again on one of our next visits back to MD/VA!

They were easy going guys, but definitely had energy while performing. It seemed that they really enjoyed playing for us, which everybody appreciated. They even withstood and professionally answered a barrage of ridiculous questions from my crazy mother, so I give them extra props for that.
Everybody loved their setlist as well, to the point whereguests were petitioning to play more songs at the end.

Justin,
Jackass Flats was amazing! Hands down, they were my easiest wedding vendor to work with. Travis was extremely responsive to emails and very receptive to the small number of special requests we made. (They agreed to play during our ceremony and were very helpful with picking out music.
I have received tons and tons of compliments about how wonderful the band was. The music was phenomenal and I thought the price was very very reasonable, especially in comparison with other quotes I received that were much higher or about the same for lessawesome bands with fewer members. I really appreciated the wealth of sample songs online, which helped me to feel like I really knew how they would be before we signed the contract.
I cannot say enough good things about them. They were definitely one of the major highlights of our wedding day and I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a band for an event!

Hi Travis
Thank YOU so much!! It was such a perfect day, thanks in no small part to you guys. The music was a perfect fit and the little acoustic session at the end will go down with my friends as a Great Moment in the History of Weddings.
One of our guests has even volunteered to write her own testimonial, so let me know if you would like that :)
Thank you again for being a part and being a joy to work with!
Best,
Liz

Andy,
The Jackass Flats were great! Travis and the full band were so easy to work with, sent me their set list in advance, and were flexible to move outside midparty when the night turned out so fabulous. Most importantly, the music was exactly what we wanted everyone, young and old, enjoyed very minute (and left wanting more!). We got tons of complements on the great music thanks for helping me narrow the choices and making this part of the party planning so easy.
Have a great weekend,
Sarah

Hi Mike,
Jackass Flats were excellent! They played at our rehearsal dinner and set the perfect atmosphere. During the cocktail hour and dinner, the band covered a range of songs that garnered numerous compliments from our guests. Travis & crew then turned it up for some dancing. I would highly recommend the band for another event (Nancy hired them three years ago for a party and we wanted them back).
Best,
Peter

Hey Andrew!
It was a HUGE success. Jackass Flats are great, and our guests really enjoyed their music. They were very easy to work with, too. We are hoping to have this same event next summer, and people have requested to have them back. So, hopefully, if it happens again, we can be in touch next year.
Thanks again for all your help!

Hi Andy,
The Jackass Flats were awesome. They did an absolutely terrific job getting people to dance, even the bluegrass skeptics. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a fun band. I'm still getting lots of compliments on how great they were; my friends all want copies of their CDs!
Cheers,

The jackass Flats were fantatstic. Great guys, played really well, lot of variety, good with the crowd, including a little unplugged session at the end as Jack was packing up their PA. I will definitely pass on your contact info to anyone who is looking to book a band and I'll be back in touch with you the next time we're looking to line someone up.

We had about 75 people at the event and Bill Ellis' BBQ from Wilson NC provided the food. Jackass Flats was the perfect band for our school benefit yesterday. The guys could not have been nicer and the music was outstanding! Thanks for setting it up.

Hi Che,
Thanks for the follow up email! I was meaning to write someone to commend
the Jackass flats on a most memorable and wonderful performance. The guys
were friendly, professional and are all AMAZINGLY talented. They got
everyone up on their feet and were the talk of the weekend! Really, I can't
thank them or you enough for making the night incredibly special for
everyone (especially the bride and groom).
Thank you so much for everything, we will definitely call upon your services
again when we're in need. Everyone has been such a pleasure to work with,
thank you again and again!!!
All the best,

Dear Andy,
Thanks for your email. We had a great time at our wedding and on our honeymoon it was hard to come back to the real world. Anyway, we wanted to let you know that Jackass Flats did a terrific job. We loved the music, our guests had a great time, and the band was just really fun. Actually, I think a few of our guests were just about ready to go on the road with the band. :)Thanks for your help, and we'd be happy to serve as a reference anytime for the band or for Sam Hill.
Take care,
Maggie Moore
