REVIEWS (for gigs not originated from GigSalad):

Accidental Red came highly recommended by a restaurant that is also well known for the different music genres they offer so I trusted their judgement. Right at my first encounter, the band immediately knew what was needed for this type of event. The music despite it being a background one, was soft, yet engaging. At times, the rhythmic intensity was exciting but never overwhelming, and the different compositions were very effective as it provided a smooth transition between the tempos. Thank you, Accidental Red members for helping us making our Firm 40th Anniversary Gala a very memorable one.
Lyne Lollichon, GREENBLUM & BERNSTEIN, P.L.C.

We booked Accidental Red for Oktoberfest at Cascades Overlook Town Center and they were a BIG hit! The families who attended just could not get enough of their great music. Their performance is thoroughly professional and the music is fantastic. They kept playing after the event ended since no one was leaving. We can’t wait to have them for another event.
Fred Snowden, MELADON GROUP, LLC

Accidental Red was perfect! They are talented, pleasant, professional and accommodating. They did an excellent job performing at our "Jazz in the Park" event, and I received tons of compliments for having selected them. Everyone loved their music! In preparation for the event, they were extremely responsive and reliable. They brought their own equipment and accommodated our outdoor venue. They arrived well ahead of the event to set up, and played even longer than agreed upon. I strongly recommend Accidental Red and would definitely book them again.
Sarah B. FROM ARLINGTON, VA

The Band was fabulous and catered to the residents in a very unique way. They interacted, sang songs of our residents’ era and clearly had a love for their group and bringing joy to their audience. Every instrumentalist was extremely talented. The band had clearly practiced well and exhibited a great blend and balance in their performance. We truly enjoyed their smooth way of sharing of their talent and we hope to have them back in the future.
Pam P. FROM ANNANDALE, VA

Accidental Red performed for a summer concert for the Town of Occoquan and did a fantastic job! They were very professional in spite of rain delays. The crowd enjoyed their music immensely, as did I, and I do not typically like jazz! Their song choices were great and they engaged the crowd. Would absolutely hire them again!
