Just perfect! 3 J Blue Trio took my husband's 40th Birthday celebration to the next level. The band was professional, personable and fun. They started the evening with quieter jazzy tones, just right for cocktails. As the night went on they began playing more upbeat music and we were all dancing and having a blast! I'm so happy I found them. I recommend them to anyone looking to create a fun and sophisticated party....live music made our party so special and so memorable.

Thank you for your very kind review, you and your guests were wonderful!!!!
The trio was excellent. My 65 guests and the neighbors raved all day Sunday about the music they played! They were great entertainers and mixed well with my guests.

Im a bassist with 40 years experience and saw 3 J Blue at an event recently. I was very impressed with their musicianship and their sensitivity to entertaining the crowd!

We hired the 3 J Blue Trio to play at my husband’s 40th Birthday party. They were great! They were reasonably priced; the music was good, the band members were polite and interacted with our guests. Everyone complimented us on them. I know one of my friends is booking them for an engagement party. If you want a band that is not going to overpower the event by being to too loud, but will provide a great show you should consider this one. I cannot say enough good things about how well they performed.
Thank you gentlemen for a job well done!

These guys are so easy to work with - very personable, and very accommodating. The best part about them is that they sound great!!! Everyone loved them (from the twenty-somethings to the middle aged) and danced all night long. My guests were begging for more songs after it was time for the band to go! The Joe Wahl Band was so much fun! Great time!! - Marie D.

OMG!! I can not express enough how great you guys were on Saturday night. I love your band. It was such a fun time. I hope it went well for you all also. Shawn is still talking about her birthday surprise. I am very grateful that you were the selected entertainment for the night.
Can't wait to see you play again. Calvin loved you guys too! Take care, God Bless You.
