July 27, 2024Amazing Experience
The booking process with Matt was super smooth. His crew provided sound, lights, and an incredible jam experience for the party. They went above and beyond what we hoped for. Can't wait to see them again!

Blues in a Blender played a great set. They have great energy that is matched by their great knowledge of how the Dead play. It was an awesome experience and we are Grateful to have had them for a night.

October 8, 2023Wonderful and enjoyable band
Blues in a Blender was wonderful! Not only did they play non-stop great tunes, but they even kindly mingled with our family/friends crowd and kept the crowd interacting with their performance. Throughout the night, we had friends and family coming up to us asking “Where did you find this band?!”, “They are SO amazing!” Thank you for making our event complete and keeping the people dancing! We highly recommend them and would gladly welcome them back for our next event.

July 24, 2019Great Party Band - Highly Recommend!
I hired MHB for my husband's 40th birthday party! They were easy to work with and quick to respond to any question I had for them before the event. I hired their 3 piece band: singer/guitarist, bass guitarist and drummer. They arrived with plenty of time to setup before the event and played a variety of music that was perfect for a fun and energetic party. I would definitely hire them again!
