The band was energetic and engaged the entire crowd. They played a great variety of music. The dance floor was full the entire evening. We could not be happier with the experience, they were professional and communicated easily. They were the cherry on the top of our perfect day! We look forward to having them again.

October 11, 2023BTJ= Very Talented/Amazing Band!
BTJ is an impressive band! I hired them to play at my husbands surprise b-day bash. I had never hired a band previously.
Our guest were blown away by their talent. In fact, the question I was most asked during the event was "how did you find this band, they are amazing!!"
Both Chris & Ian have incredibly powerful & impressive singing ranges. Excellent guitar (Chris), Bass (Bob) & Drums(C.P.). You guys play so well together!... above & beyond expectations.
Loved the song selections, very diversified.
The high-energy stage presence got the guest dancing.
I'm so grateful that you were available to play at our event. Thank you!
very professional & super easy to work with.
I hope you guys keep playing together. I would love to hire you for future events.

July 26, 2023Hire these guys!
You dont have to be a musician to know that Buford T Judd & The Dumptrucks have talent!
We hired them for our outdoor wedding reception on a local patio and they sounded amazing!
Chris coordinated the timing well in advance and provided guidance on how many musicians we would need. They also sent us a list of about 200 songs to choose from so the band could curate a custom play list geared toward our party.
My husband turned this into a fun weekend game, sipping wine and listening to all the songs they could play.
The day of the party the band showed up about 2 hours early to set up and played almost the entire 3 hours with a few intermissions.
Everyone at the party enjoyed the music and commented on how great they sound!
Thank you for your professionalism and the excellent show!
