Club Event•Reviewed on April 29, 2024•From Harrisonburg, VA
The Lonesome Ryder Band were incredible! Rick Sibbett was so sweet and extremely accommodating throughout the entire event. They are very talented and picked the perfect songs for the demographic they were playing for. Everyone had a blast and will definitely be working with the Lonesome Ryders again!
:
Victoria and the girls were off the chart AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL! Victoria was detail oriented in every possible way, to having the tent up the day before we arrived, to the power supply, to every single important detail! So sweet, professional and accommodating! The absolute PERFECT CLIENT, PERFECT EVENT, PERFECT EVERYTHING! I just wish every client was like Victoria, Molly, and all the other ladies that were so helpful! What a great event at JMU!!! Thank you Victoria for hiring us! Call on us anytime! ... Rick Sibbett

LRB was absolutely top notch - I can’t say enough great things about them. Rick is incredibly personal and professional as he walks you through the process, and he was incredibly kind and accomodating. They stayed in regular contact leading up to the performance, and on the day of, they came early to set up and ensure everything ran smoothly. For the show itself, they absolutely ROCKED!! They far exceeded my highest expectations with great music choices and excellent sound. Cal and Becca were awesome on guitar and vocals, same for the bassist and keyboardist. Rick killed it on drums. Look no further!! I’d hire LRB again in a heartbeat!!

Brandon,
You, your family, friends & group were amazing! So much FUN to perform to, and the dancing, singing and interaction was incredible! Just the exact type of event and crowd response that all artist, bands and performers long for! Thank You again for a great event and a wonderful night of F U N!

Very nice and friendly people. We had a blast.
:
Manuel was such a great client! He was easy to work with from the initial planning stages right down to the beer and barbeque for the band! In this COVID19 environment, he made sure that there was safe distancing among his community neighbors. Manuel was also generous and tipped the band at the end of the night! I wish all clients were as organized, gracious and friendly as Manuel!
We appreciate the hire and FUN time!

Wonderful people! There are no words to describe how truly thankful we are to have had them for our event. You can put your trust in that they will make your event memorable! Worked the crowd and got everyone dancing! Played a variety and sounded great! A pleasure to work with and very professional. Would definitely recommend and would hire them for any event!
:
This place is AWESOME, FUN & SUPER WELL ORGANIZED!!! The owner, Bobby, and his beautiful wife, along with their staff, family & friends, make this place ROCK))))) And they are so gracious and so professional! I can't even begin to image the high cost of operation and the unspared expense it took to put on Bike Week there at the Oasis Bar & Grill!
I have been in the music entertainment business for over fifty years now, and I have never met a more accommodating and giving staff that provided an amazing event for not just the locals, but for all who came from far & wide!
I LOVE THIS BAR!!! And YOU will too!
Thank You Bobby for hiring us!

Club Event•Reviewed on August 20, 2019•From Baltimore, MD
I'll preface this review: I offered to help my dad out for his military reunion - I'm a jaded event planner who has hired numerous bands - but these guys were by far the best to work with and sounded GREAT! The Lonesome Ryder Band was perfect! The room was a tough crowd with a mix of ages and they provided music that appealed to everyone! They were very professional, came early, and were very communicative throughout the whole process. They played everything we wanted and then some. They took requests during the set and got everyone up and dancing. No one wanted to leave at the end! If you are looking for a band for ANY occasion - hire them. You'll love them.
:
Gretchen, THANK YOU for being the catalyst for our hire! Your dad coming out to my house, going over the details was remarkable! I wish every client would do that! The client knowing what they want & need is paramount to a successful event! But you already know that, because YOU are the absolute professional Entertainment Event Planner, and may I say, a GREAT DANCER too! Seeing all the dancers having FUN, even the Honorable Vets, some who could hardly walk, yet dancing & having a good time! I thank you, your dad, and all of the incredible veterans who courageously fought for America in Vietnam and all of their sacrifices!

Rick and his band brought the party with him. The band was incredibly versatile, and they could really read the crowd. Rick is a true professional, and I will look to the Lonesome Ryder Band first if ever I need entertainment for an event. Thanks a million!
:
Let me just start by saying, that Alex and his group of teachers were the best clients ever! Alex was FUN, laid back and clearly conveyed what was needed for the event! Everyone had a great time and the music mix fit perfectly!
Thanks again Alex for hiring us and for being such a great client! We look forward to working together again in the near future!

The overall experience was very good. The only complaint which is minor is that part of the band was late arriving. However, once they arrived and got totally set up everything was satisfactory and and a pleasant experience.
:
Great group of people! Fun night! Fun people! Fun party!!! Btw, we were only suppose to go to 10 PM, but we wound up going until 1:00 AM!!! They got their money's worth and then some for sure! Especially since we priced this $600.00 below our minimal fee and no overtime charges for going late into the night! But the overall experience was mutually very good for us as well!!! ...

Rick and the Lonesome Ryder Band were great in all regards. Very easy to work with and responsive to all my particular needs. They “customized” the show to make my retirement ceremony and reception even more memorable. Great music and interaction with my guests. Everyone loved it. Rick, can’t thank you and the band enough for everything! Hope to see ya in Texas!

Sir, it was an honor to be a part of your retirement ceremony, honoring & recognizing your 34 years of devoted, loyal and dedicated service to our country! You and Michelle were great! And to all of the families & Marines present, their mutual respect and admiration for you was certain apparent!

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 14, 2018•From Richmond, VA
Not only did they play all of my favorite songs, but every single member of the band was kind and funny. Rick even pulled my grandma on stage and taught her to play drums! Thank you guys so much for everything.
:
Bella is the sweetest client ever! She knew exactly what she wanted for the special songs selections & her mom was very supportive too! Needless to say, we all had a great time! But the best part came when after repeated coaxing to try and get Bella (a drummer herself) up on the drums, I got her grandma to play drums, her first time ever! It was great! The video is on our Facebook page and on YouTube as well!
I just wish every client was so communicative, easy to work with and FUN as Bella & her wonderful family!
Thank You again Bella! And here's to a great start of your adult life!
Always at your Service!

We had the best time with the Lonesome Ryder Band! They were early and ready to go and gave us a phenomenal performance. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a country western band..traditional or modern.
:
Amanda,
You are our best client to-date! You were so organized & had it all together, and we worked so well together, you and I! Your group was amazing, responsive and FUN! One of the most notably aspects I noticed was, that your age group of 20's & 30's something all LOVED Country music! And from watching the videos, I could see them singing to "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" just as much as "Wagon Wheel" & "Drink In My Hand"!
Thanks to ya'll, the Lonesome Ryder Band is now Oklahoma fans forever!!!!!!!!!!
Always at your Service anytime!

I just want to personally thank Michelle & Steve for a wonderful Halloween Party this past Saturday night out in Stafford, VA. They were just the best clients ever and Michelle was a great Hostess! Steve surprised the band with his incredible vocal talents and stage presence! I may have to hire him in the future, whenever he may be available! It was just a warm, friendly FUN event! One of the best ever for us as a band! And believe you me, we've had some great events over the past seven years of being in business, but this one was tops! BIG THANKS once again to Michelle for hiring the band and making this workout so well and for such a great party night!

The lead musician was highly professional and acommidared every aspect of our 100 person surprise party for my wife's birthday.
Their was a myriad of music selections and several preplanning calls prior to event.
Rick was as accommodating and genuine as one could be and the nave members were kind and frankly, played as though they loved
Their music and the just another " gig".
I would not hesitate to call them again as as a fellow musician, just terrific.
They accommodated everyone and all had the best party ever. Kind regards and thank you Rick and band members.
Chief and Rose.
:
Chief,
You are without a doubt, the absolute best client ever!!! From the two pre-event onsite preps, it was certainly apparent to me that you had it all together! You knew exactly what you wanted and you were well prepared! Furthermore, I loved sitting in on drums with you and your band in the earlier portion of the night! And we certainly all enjoyed having you play bass with the Lonesome Ryder Band! What a night!!! Next time, I will be the one hiring you!
Once again, we all wish Rose a very Happy Birthday!

These guys played for my wife's 50th birthday party. They were GREAT!!!!!! a good variety of music interacted with our guests and even some jokes thrown from time to time. We had a blast with them on a scale of one to five. We give them a 10!!! We will spread the word and most definitely be having them back to play for us in the future.

I just want to say that John & Melissa were the absolute best clients! They and their family & group were amazingly F U N! We played, performed, laughed, joked, danced and carried on like never before! They made us all in the band feel every bit as much a part of the party group as they were! They were GREAT!!! And we look forward to providing their musical entertainment again, any and every time they call! The Lonesome Ryder Band will always be at your Service, John & Melissa!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 31, 2017•From Round Hill, VA
Very talented group of musicians! We hired Lonesome Ryder Band for our anniversary party, and even though it was a relatively small group of people, they played like we were a crowd of hundreds. Even to the very end when it was literally our family and our parents (10 people) they were rocking out! Great mix of classic rock, southern rock, and they even learned a song that wasn't in their wheelhouse in about two weeks for my husband. It was an awesome treat for both of us. Thanks guys everyone loved the music!
:
Meredith,
You are an amazing person and a wonderful client! You worked so hard in the organization, planning, prep, setup, details and song request. You even dealt with the difficult challenges of the early morning pre-power outage, getting the outdoor tents and right down to the late night garage door that didn't want to close! LOL You, Justin and your family & friends were so much FUN!
Thank You again for having us entertain your group! Please feel free to call on us again anytime!
