One of the most versatile bluegrass bands in the Midwest! Top notch professional musicians steeped in bluegrass with a repertoire that ranges from traditional & progressive bluegrass to acoustic roots/rock/blues music to beautiful cinematic instrumentals. Seasoned performers with capabilities of switching gears to suit almost any occasion.
Couldn't be happier and plan to hire Rob and the band next year!
Response from Anderlik, Otto & Church:
Thanks so much Joe for a great evening and outstanding hospitality! We loved playing for you and your guests and appreciate the nice review!
Working with Rob was such an easy and smooth process. I hired them to come play at an annual conservation fundraiser, celebrating 45 years. It was a very special and important event, and they did an incredible job. So many guests specifically asked who they were and how much they enjoyed their music. In addition to being super talented musicians and being professional on stage - they came so well prepared and right on time. They were on stage 10 minutes early and promptly started when I requested. Definitely recommend hiring them for a casual or high end event they were such a pleasure to work with!!

These guys were great . . . total professionals, very courteous, and best of all, the music was awesome. So glad we booked them, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!
Response from Anderlik, Otto & Church:
Thank you Dan! We appreciate it! It was great to meet you and play for your church!
We had been searching for the right live music for our wedding for some time. These guys were exactly what we were hoping for, talented musicians that all ages could really enjoy. By the end of the evening, our entire tent was empty and everyone was on the dance floor. An incredible night, worth every penny!
Response from Anderlik, Otto & Church:
Thank you so much for your kind words Michael. We had such a great time playing at your wedding! What an evening!
Anderlik, Otto & Church were absolutely outstanding. Let me repeat that - outstanding! From our initial booking of the event, to the final song they played, we were thrilled with everything. Our guests could not say enough good things about their style, selection of music, interaction, and professionalism. They were accommodating and willing to make changes on the fly, as needed. We had lots of musicians in the crowd and everyone just loved them. High praise on all counts.
rob was so accommodating for our wedding! we had them play for the ceremony and cocktail hour! they exceeded our expectations and our guests loved them!!

From the first encounter to the last this group is first class. They were very considerate regarding dress code for our event as well as playing the level we wanted. I was corresponding with the lead Rob Anderlik by email and text message because we are located in Kentucky, he responded quickly to any questions I had. Everyone was so excited and still talking about it the next day. It was a great event and the group was icing on the cake. I would recommend them for your event and hope we have the opportunity to use them again when back in Chicago
Response from Anderlik, Otto & Church:
Thanks for the nice review Rhonda. What a great evening! We loved playing for your group!
Anderlik, Otto & Church were fantastic to work with. They were very professional, on time, and had a great attitude. The guests loved their music and their bluegrass vibe was exactly what we were looking for!
Today, Anderlik, Otto & Church (+ Bass) entertained my family and friends at our Olde Timey BBQ & Bluegrass Easter----they were terrific! These guys are the real deal and are really talented. A,O & C added so much to our holiday event and filled our home with the best bluegrass we've heard.
Their communication and follow up leading up to the event was superb. This was great because I was always in the know and did not need to worry about the details. Also, the guys were all super professional, on-time and respectful to all our guests. The band was friendly, fun and even took requests from the crowd. I was also most appreciative to have the commitment of their time on a holiday spent away from their families to perform for us. Another nice thing was that I didn't feel as though they couldn't wait to leave the moment their time was up.
I would highly recommend Anderlik, Otto & Church to a friend and/or would book them again, the next time I need a bluegrass band whether for a small group or a larger event. Just a great bunch of pickers and grinners!
Response from Anderlik, Otto & Church:
Thank you Tim, we really appreciate the review!
