Goody Blue Shoes Party Band

Listening to them right now and they are absolutely fantastic. Haven't enjoyed a band so much in years.

John and Matt were awesome. They did a two location sound system for our son's wedding and nailed all the details. They kept our guests happy dancing and taking song requests while adhering closely to the song list we provided. Very pleased and will use again, i highly recommend!

We cannot thank John and Goody Blue Shoes enough for what an amazing job they did on our big day! All through the pandemic John worked with us to make sure our wedding day was every bit as special as we wanted it to be. We had to postpone in addition to switching venues, and John was just a short text or phone call away to make sure the rescheduling worked for GBS. As for the wedding itself, unbelievable! High energy from the start and it never trailed off! Had people up and dancing the whole night, my wife and I never left the dance floor once! We couldnt recommend them enough, nor can we thank them enough for their friendliness and determination to make our wedding truly unforgettable! We are so lucky to have been able to book them and gain some new friends in the process!

STOP SEARCHING AND HIRE GOODY BLUE SHOES!! JOHN SAVED OUR WEDDING AND WE LEGITIMATELY WOULD NOT BE MARRIED WITHOUT HIM. My fianc and I knew we wanted to hire a band for our wedding so we started looking right away. After doing our fair share of online research, we checked out about 5 bands in person. Many have showcases where you sit and they play a couple of songs, but John invited us to see them at a local venue. We instantly fell in love with how GBS so effortlessly got everyone dancing and having a great time. What makes John so great is how much he truly cares about what he does, and cares about YOU. He took time to ask questions and get to know us as a couple, beyond the usual small talk when you meet a vendor. Our original wedding date was May 23, 2020, so COVID threw a wrench in our plans. We had 2 other wedding dates before our final date of September 6, 2021, and John was able to work with us to QUICKLY let us know the bands availability and rebook with ease. During the planning session of our big day, he could sense we were stressed and burnt out due to the impacts of COVID-19. He actually took the time to talk to us, ask us how we were doing, and GET US PUMPED about our own wedding. I will never forget that evening. We met to go over wedding plans but it felt more like hanging out with a friend. John will work directly with your venue to take off some of the burden. This is a huge relief, but even more appreciated when our friend who was to officiate tested positive for COVID-19 five days before our wedding. We found another officiant, but then the next day his apartment flooded and his car totaled when Hurricane Ida showed up. TWO DAYS before our wedding we had no one to marry us. I vaguely remembered John saying he had married a couple before, so I frantically asked if he could marry us and HE SAVED THE DAY. He was able to work directly with our friend who had already come up with the ceremony and knocked it out of the park as our wedding officiant. John also worked directly with a string quartet he recommended (Cherrywood String Ensembles so great), to arrange for ceremony music. After MARRYING US, John led the band during our cocktail hour (so recommend you use them for this), and then rocked it all night for our reception. EVERYONE came up to us and said how great the band was. They played a bit of everything and made sure everyone was having a great time. They are fantastic musicians and great hosts. They really are worth 5x what they charged and we would hire them again in an instant. John was also really great at letting us break up the final cost into multiple payments and the deposit to book is very cheap compared to other bands. PLEASE do yourself a favor and HIRE THEM. We can honestly say that we have gained a true friend with John and we are GBS groupies for life. THANK YOU GBS!

I honestly thought all the outstanding reviews for John and Goody Blue Shoes might be too good to be true, but I'm happy to report, that they are 100% genuine. John is a joy to work with and the band is outstanding. John and the band incorporated everything we requested, even things I mentioned in passing and ideas I mentioned that I didn't think would be possible. The songs they learned specifically for us made the night unforgettable, and John even rewrote lyrics for our father daughter dance to John Legend's Save Room. I also have to call out Marissa singing Whitney and Beyonc and so many other powerful songs that made our wedding reception the epic dance party of my dreams. We have a running joke in our family that no has been able to top my cousin's wedding over 10 years ago, who also had an amazing band, but thanks to GBS, I am now the winner.
