July 11, 2022Highly Recommended!
My family and I loved the show!
8 Second Ride performed for us as an acoustic duo.
These guys are extremely professional. They answered all of my (many) messages very quickly and made the planning process so smooth.
They were very accommodating, and went above and beyond to make our event a memorable one.
I look forward to seeing them again in the future.

July 17, 2021Excellent Entertainment and Company
It was a small backyard surprise birthday party. Don and Tim were shaking off the dust following a long Covid shutdown. They provided exactly the informal, professional show that was needed, and provided exactly the company and conversation that fit the people and size of group. I will be booking them again at the right time. I look forward to seeing them with the whole band in concert. Country is the wife's thing, but I will be following this band because I have made new friends. Thanks for giving my lady a very Happy 8 Second Birthday!
