BEST 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!!!

Wonderful 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!

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!

Terrific 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.

Amazing Wedding Band!

We booked Men In Blues for our wedding and could not have been happier with their performance! Everyone we talked to afterward agreed that the band did an amazing job. They especially did a good job of reading the room and mixing up the set list in order to keep everyone on the dance floor all night. We cannot recommend them enough!

Best band ever!

Men in Blues played for my daughter's wedding. A second daughter have me a lot of flack for hiring a "rock and blues" band. No body will be able to dance to that she said. Boy was she wrong. The dance floor was crowded all night. I have received compliments on the band from basically all of my guests. They were flexible and even traveled out of their comfort zone for my gig. Thanks guys!

Excellent band for our our neighborhood Chili Cook-off

Men in Blues is a great party band. They played our annual chili cook-off at our subdivision and were a hit. Great music-very tight! They played blues and other oldies (oldies by my standard-Allman Bros, a little Zep. Professional, showed up on time, and we plan to use them again next year.

We have a big annual Labor Day party and MIB has performed for 6 years. Our guests love them and since our party is outdoors every one is so disappointed that they have to stop at 11!! They get our party going and keep it going. They play a great selection of just good ole rock & roll. Great Music....Great Guys. And we plan to have them at the next party! Brenda & Steve

AWESOME band!

We booked MIB for our wedding on April 18, 2015 and it was one of the best decisions we've made. My wife and I love rock n' roll, country, and blues and wanted to book a band that would get everybody up and dancing. We are a week removed from the wedding, but my wife and I are still blown away by how packed the dance floor was all night - even people that claimed they HATE dancing were up and dancing all night! They are incredibly talented musicians who are very professional and will work with you to make sure that your reception goes off exactly how you want. Simply put, book MIB with confidence - you and your wedding guests will have an amazing time.

Awesome time at our wedding

Everyone had such a great time! The variety of music was perfect for our dinner dance reception. The guys are professional and working with them was easy. Our guests' biggest complaint was that the party ended too soon--they wanted to keep dancing through the night!
I highly recommend Men in Blues for your event.

Great band - Great wedding

We had Men In Blues play our wedding on September 6th. They were amazing. I am a huge music fan and very particular about the quality of music. Men In Blues exceeded my expectations. They are incredible musicians. We had an very easy time setting up the schedule and announcements with them. They are extremely professional but most of all they are a rockin band that had people dancing all night. Our guests who came from Philadelphia, Miami, Alabama and even Germany loved them.
Hire them!

Wedding on 9/28/13

My wife and I arranged for the Men in Blues to play at our wedding recently. One of the most important things when try to plan and execute such a big event is communication. We were very pleased with the prompt responses from the band members in regards to our big day. Most bands I came across while searching were outrageously priced. We found the Men in Blues to be much more reasonable in that area, and quite frankly, they are better musicians. On our wedding day the band showed up early to set up, and they started on time. The band members were very professional, laid back, flexible with requests, and most of all, they were extremely talented musicians. They played great songs that my family and friends loved. All night long the guests were commenting on how much fun they were having and how awesome the music was. The band even let me join them for a song. My wife and I were pleased and would definitely go business with them in the future if we had another event in that area. Men in Blues is the way to go!

A Huge Highlight of Our Wedding Night

Men in Blues was by far one of the most memorable components of our wedding weekend! The band took care of everything while catering to our individual needs and specific musical requests. Very familiar with playing weddings, we chose to let the band take over, and they did a fantastic job! Guests of all ages commented on how wonderful they were, and almost all of our friends (many of whom don't normally dance), were on the dance floor! I would recommend this band to any couple getting married!

KICKASS BAND !

Just had ''The men in Blues'' down here in Barnesville Ga. for our 9th Bar-b-Que & blues Fest
Don't think we could have found a better band to please the people , everyone was talking about them.
You know you have a good band when the other bands stand by the stage and talk about how tight and smooth they are.
We will bring them back down here., All ready have them booked for the Blueridge Ga. Bar-B-Que & Blues fest in September,
knowing they will rock the house up there like they did down here.

Let the Good Times Roll

These guys make the party. Period. After seeing them play at St. Patrick's day event at the Olde Blind Dog in Milton, GA we signed them up for our wedding this past weekend in Young Harris, GA. Growing up on blues, and classic rock like the Stones, Pink Floyd, etc, the band was exactly what we wanted to entertain the guests who flew in from all around the world to celebrate with us. The comments on the band the next day were all positive and the dance floor literally stayed full the entire time the band played which went late into the night. We sincerely appreciate the impact Men in Blues had on our event and would fully recommend considering them as part of your celebration. Cheers guys!

Best cover band by far!

MEN IN BLUES was by far the best choice we made a couple of weeks ago when we threw my dad a surprise 60th birthday party. My dad is a huge blues fan so we were a little nervous of the outcome; however, I must say Men in Blues was phenomenal. They kept the guests entertained from the very first song they played, the Beetles version of Happy Birthday.

We had about 65-70 guests in attendance and everyone of the guests were amazed and had nothing but good to say about Men in Blues. In fact, my dad has since had many compliments at the local coffee shop in the morning about how good the band was. My dad and several of his friends have already picked a date in which they are going to go see Men In Blues perform again. If you are looking for the most reasonable and best cover band in Georgia, or the southeast for that matter, hire Men In Bluesou will not be disappointed. Thanks guys you rock!

Review by Grant D.

MEN IN BLUES is the best band you could possibly hire for a wedding or special even where you want people to enjoy great music and get up and dance. My wife and I hired them for our wedding and they had 90% of our wedding guests on the dance floor. We needed a bigger dance floor!! We were moving tables!!! They play a mix of blues, rock, soul, funk to perfection and really know how to interact with the mood and feel of any kind of function. I am a musician myself and they happily let me get up and play a few songs for my friends and family. Some of whom had never ever seen me play. This was a huge highlight of my wedding for me and they were not only welcome to the idea, they encouraged it. They went above and beyond and truly made our wedding reception a great fun and jamming dance party and I would recommend them for anybody's wedding or other function for that matter. They are very professional, punctual, easy going and very moderately priced for they amount of fun and tight music they bring to your event. I give them 5 stars and will be using them in the future come what may and I'll be checking them out locally whenever I get a chance. Don't think twice about these guys if you want to make your event AWESOME unless your more into obnoxious DJ's who don't play what you ask and like to talk more than play music. MEN IN BLUES!!! Five stars * * * * * !!!!

If you guys are thinking about hiring a band for your event, look no further. These guys are incredible. They played my best friend's wedding a few years ago, her sister's wedding last summer and my wedding just last month. Men In Blues was our most complimented decision for our big day. They are so interactive with the crowd, that people who are not big dancers (like myself) were out on the dance floor. The base guitarist was actually in the crowd playing! Everyone, even the hard to please, were highly impressed. These guys truly are amazing and will not disappoint. Thank you so much Men In Blues!!!!

Review by Liz H.

As a devoted fan of Men in Blues, my friends, family and I have seen them play at many venues throughout Atlanta. How else can I describe the effect of their musical talent and fun-loving spirit on their audience but to say, "Feels like I'm Knockin' On Heavens Door..." Slow or fast, Blues, Rock or Country songs, we love ya MIB!! Liz & Family

MEN IN BLUES is an amazing band! They play here every month, sometime even twice a month. The crowd loves them because they really pay attention to what the crowd wants to hear....so much fun!!

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
