I cannot express my gratitude to Sawmill Grinders for playing at my boyfriend’s military retirement party. The music was wonderful and the guests raves about the band. Thank you!

Hi Katie! We cannot even begin to express our gratitude for Todd's 24 years of protecting our freedom! You put together an amazing party and we thank you for allowing us the chance to celebrate alongside your family and friends! Thank you for the kind words and, more than that, your hospitality. Thank you for the Mini US Air Force flags! Mine is hanging in my living room! Hope we can meet again! Doug Robertson

Loved having The Sawmill Grinders kick off our concert in the park series. Sound was great. Booking and communication was seamless. Will definitely have them out again.

Good morning Sharon! What an amazing time we had entertaining! Thank you for inviting Sawmill Grinders & giving us that honor and privilege! We couldn't
have asked for a more beautiful Arizona day! We had the opportunity to meet and talk with many of the friendly guests! You and your staff were awesome! The communication, assistance, and wonderful hospitality was over-the-top! The venue and community is gorgeous! We really look forward to joining you for another event at Anthem Parkside at Merrill Ranch in Florence! Thanks again, Sharon! I loved working with you & look forward to hearing from and working side-by-side with you on another event!

We are so grateful for this band. My mother in law’s 60th birthday party was an absolute hit because of this band. The members, of course on time, but more so, they played so well, sang so well and sounded great. They encouraged dancing, sang great songs that matched the generation of the audience. People at the party raved about them. They were such the perfect fit for the party. We had a blast with them. I can’t wait to have another party so I can hire them again.
