April 15, 2024Amazing band for our mountain wedding!
Odessa Rose is fantastic! I cannot say enough great things about this band. First, Hank (band manager) was SO wonderful to work with. Very communicative and detailed. Second, the band did an amazing job performing. Their music was perfect for our wedding in the mountains. They nailed the music that we requested for the ceremony, which made it so special. They also did a great job managing our sound system for the ceremony. They then performed for our cocktail hour and their bluegrass/swing music was so beautiful and joyful!! Great vibes and so fun! Highly recommend!

September 17, 2023These guys made the party!!!
Hank and the band were the absolute BEST. Out party was 100% better because they were there. They were in time, kind, respectful, fun, and an absolute delight. Their musicianship was outstanding. We were transported back in time with their music. I cannot wait to have another reason to hire them!!! Absolute 10/10

I am a wedding planner and had the pleasure of working with Odessa Rose West at a wedding this past weekend. They were all such a joy to work with! Hank is very flexible, organized, and willing to go above and beyond for his clients. Not to mention they are amazing performers and musicians! 10/10 would recommend and I can't wait to work with them again.

September 22, 2025Welcome Party Band
Hank and the Odessa Rose crew blew us and our guests away. We were so lucky to have them perform at our western-themed welcome party out in the mountains, and their music paired perfectly with that atmosphere. They are all incredible musicians, and their sound blended wonderfully with Hank’s vocals. The range of upbeat swing to get people dancing and more mellow tunes to create a fun and comfortable vibe was exactly what we needed. I truly can’t thank them enough, they made the night!

August 25, 2025Perfect Band for Our Cocktail Hour
We've used Odessa Rose twice now for our annual BonFIRE Gala at both the Cable Center and the DCPA! They've always been a big hit, and we loved having them create a fun atmosphere for our cocktail hour.
