November 25, 2024Amazing band!
The band was amazing. They worked with our crazy wedding schedule with no issues. They played later than what was expected due to our reception starting late, and did not complain once! The music was amazing and the vocals were amazing. Dark Star Brothers were very professional from start to finish. The stage presence was more than we could ask for. 10/10 recommend them for any event. We will be using them again!!
Hired as: Blues Band, Classic Rock Band, Cover Band, Funk Band, Party Band, Rock Band, Wedding Band

January 30, 2023BEST BAND OUT THERE!
I can’t speak highly enough about The Men in Blues! They played for an engagement party we hosted and everyone was blown away! Not only did they play great they were very professional. They showed up early to set up (and even helped us clean up around the house last minute while waiting for guests to arrive!!). Everyone begged them not to leave and they were sweet enough to stick around for over an hour longer than we had them booked for. We will ONLY use them moving forward and can’t wait for all future events to come because they 100% made the party! Ian and all band members were so sweet!!!

September 25, 2020Wonderful Band
We hired Men In Blues for our daughter's wedding and they were absolutely amazing. They were all very personable and they knew how to get the crowd involved. The set of music they played consisted of some of our very favorites. This is a group of very talented musicians and I would highly recommend them if you are seeking to have great music and fun! We'd hired them again!

August 18, 2020Awesome, engaging band
We hired Men in Blues for a Corporate event to celebrate our best and most loyal clients. These guys are not just great musicians, but they are engaging with the audience creating a wonderful atmosphere. We have been getting great feedback about our event, almost everyone comment includes how incredible the band was! Thanks for making our event such a great success!

December 19, 2017Terrific Band
These guys are popular seasoned musicians who have real talent. As the event planner, I was thrilled and relieved at all the compliments I received about the band. It became obvious the guests enjoyed the music since, throughout the evening, I noticed the number of people who don't usually dance were on the dance floor more than a few times. The group was prompt, professional and reasonably priced. Additionally, the music was at a sensible volume - not blasting us out of the room.

Ian Nathanson (Bandleader, Vocals, Lead/Rhythm Guitar)
Ian founded Men in Blues back in 2000, and it's been going strong ever since!Classically trained on clarinet and Soulfully trained on guitar and vocals, Ian has been into music from a young age.
His parents would play Canned Heat, John Sebastian and Beatles albums for him to listen to, and he'd pick up the recorder (remember those?) and play along.
Ian got his start as a young vocalist in Middle School when he was a member of the almost famous " band that played in the gym." That was the spark that made him want to play guitar and sing. Whilst studying clarinet around 1976, Ian picked up the guitar and started jamming with records and other musician friends.
Since he loved singing, the guitar was a perfect match for him. Ian's now been performing live shows around the Northeast and Southeast for over 25 years.
Ian is a graduate of The Crane School of Music (SunyPotsdam) and holds a K-12 Music Education degree.He currently teaches music in Cobb County Schools, and he also teaches private guitar lessons to all ages.
Neil Shupak (Harmonica, Various Percussive Sounds, Back-up Vocals)
Neil plays the Harmonica like there's no tomorrow ( which luckily there is!) and plays all types of various percussive sounds. He especially likes the Cowbell!! He's an all around great guy that loves life and music and it shows. Neil is originally from Philly and he hopes that you won't hold it against him
Ron Russell (Drums/Vocals)
Ron moved to Atlanta recently from Tampa FLA, and has played with Jimi Hendrix back in 1969, Greg Allman, Al Wilson, and still plays with Bertie Higgins ( of "Jamaica Me Crazy" and "Key Largo" fame) down in FL!
Lee Hill - Bass / Acoustic Guitar / Vocals
Lee is the newest member of Men In Blues, joining the group in 2012. He plays bass guitar but occasionally switches to rhythm and lead vocals as needed. As a teenager, Lee grew up in and around the Atlanta music scene during the late 70's and 80's, working at various guitar shops by day and playing clubs and parties by night. Over the years, Lee has performed hundreds of live shows with several hard-working bands such as Tyranny, The Boosters, Mixed Company and Loose Change. As a singer/songwriter, Lee often performs solo acoustic dates at local neighborhood venues. For the last ten years, Lee has also served as lead vocalist and lead guitarist for the Transformation Band (T4B) in west Cobb County. Lee loves and appreciates all musical genres but believes that nothing can surpass the heart and soul of classic R&B.
Lee's philosophy on playing bass: "The notes you Don't play can be just as important than the ones you do. You gotta find the groove and then lay down in it. That's where the music is."
Danny Miller (Rhythm/Lead Guitar, Vocals, Banjo, Mandolin)
Danny was born in Atlanta, Georgia on February 25, 1948. He received a guitar for Christmas in 1961, and has never laid it down. He was shown his first chords by a family friend and his first song (The Wildwood Flower) by his uncle. He is mostly self-taught. A true "musical sponge," and eternal guitar student who has learned something from every guitar player he has ever met. He began performing at local talent shows and contests in 1963. He joined his first working band at age 15, and began performing all over Georgia. In 1964-66, he was a member of Ougie And The Ougots, a popular local rock band that performed all over the Southeast. The group had a record in 1966 that sold moderately. In college, he was a member of The Vagabonds, the hottest soul band in Georgia. Since then, he has been a member of many bands playing a wide variety of musical styles. He performed at dances, fraternity parties, night clubs, concerts, local television shows, weddings, fashion shows, bar-mitzvahs, recording sessions, store openings, and other assorted functions throughout high school and college. He graduated from DeKalb College in 1970. His personal playing style is a soulful blend of blues, rock, country, and jazz. His notable musical influences include Chet Atkins, James Burton, Roy Buchanan, Mike Bloomfield, Danny Gatton, Ry Cooder, B.B. King, Freddie King, Albert King, Wes Montgomery, Lonnie Mack, George Harrison, Roy Nichols, Don Rich, and Barry Bailey. He was very active as a working musician during the once great "heyday" of the Atlanta club scene from 1970-90, often playing long hours 6 or 7 nights a week.

Testimonials
"Men in Blues" were fantastic at a surprise Bday party given for me. I'm an old rocker & Bluesman & these guys played all my favorites & great party/dancing music. It was indeed a pleasure to sit in with them on a tune. The band was very tight & had great tone. They blew the whole crowd away with the Pink Floyd song "Comfortably Numb". The party is one of the most memorable moments of my 60 years & "Men in Blues" was certainly a big part of it. I've seen them since at Nick's Place in Marietta & listen to their music on CDs. I will be taking friends to see them & letting people know what a great band we have right here in ATL. Keep on Rocking "Men in Blues"!
– Don - Birthday Party - 3/22/08
I hired Men In Blues for my wedding reception and my experiences with them were all positive. Correspondence with the band leading up to the event was efficient and hassle-free. Above all, the talent these guys have is STELLAR. They really know how to gauge where the crowd is and how to get a party started! I would give my highest recommendation of Men In Blues to anyone planning an event and in need of entertainment. My family can't wait until our next party so we can have these guys back for live entertainment! Thanks MIB...
– Jessica R. - Wedding Reception - 6/6/09

MEN IN BLUES played at our 2007 SPIdynamics office kick-off party which was held at the Dunwoody Country Club this past January.

Thanks again!
