Amazing!

It was an absolute joy to work with Ian and Friendly Folks!

They were professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Their performance was absolutely fantastic, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed it.

They’re incredibly talented, passionate, and genuinely kind musicians who brought so much energy and joy to the stage.

11/10 — highly recommended!

Best band!!!

We booked the Friendly Reminders for our wedding, and they did the best job! We planned to be in our backyard, but the rain changed our plans and forced us inside and the band accommodated very quickly. They provided the best music and ambience for our event for 3 hours, and everyone there complimented us on the band. They are also truly the friendliest, nicest people and are so easy to work with. We highly recommend!!!

The feeling of coming home

Friendly Reminders are a unique and friendly balancing act between musical genres, lyrical poetry, and storytelling. There is no telling the ways you might be moved by their etherial sound, folksy vibe, occasional bluegrassy feel, and witty songwriting—only that you will feel at home, and you will want more. See for yourself!

Friendly Reminders recently played a Cottonwood Concert in a barn at the edge of spring, at the foothills of the Rockies. We bundled and snuggled and got cozy as they shared their stories and music. Not only did they play a tight set, there was comedic banter and collaboration with the openers and other musicians. A dynamic evening with a group of talented folk!
