March 13, 2022WOW! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Booked him for an outdoor community event and boy did her deliver! Very professional, talented and highly skilled he entertained despite it being a very cold and windy day. His playlist was perfect for our event and his performance was topnotch. Will definitely book him again.

November 9, 2020Fantastic Performance!!
The Bans was awesome. All customers enjoyed the show and bar and food sales doubled. Can't wait until they come back to the High Noon Lounge in Waynesboro, MS. I would suggest booking Rick Tobey and the Chickenhead Blues to anyone.
Thanks guys,
