Liza,
I want to belatedly but personally thank Craig for an outstanding evening. I would also like very much to serve as a reference for him and his band. I have heard so many compliments on our evening and the band. Not only were they a lot of fun and great musicians, but they were very accommodating to several requests we had regarding their placement through the evening, as we actually had all or subsets of the band playing in three different rooms.
I could not give a higher recommendation that the one I can give Craig and his team. Absolutely first class and first rate in every way.
Regards,
Hugh Boston
Hi Craig,
I just wanted to send you some images from a few weddings I photographed in which your band performed! Your band is quite incredible at creating the perfect party atmosphere! I absolutely love your band's presence at wedding receptions and look forward to working with you again soon!
Blessings,

Craig,
You and your band were absolutely amazing and your play list was spectacular. Your band is definitely the best band in Nashville and will always be my choice. Everyone is still talking about how great the music was.
Thank you for making the evening even more special by performing the two songs for Betty and Mary. The Craig Duncan band was the hit of the evening!
Please don't hesitate to let me know if we owe you any additional compensation. You're the best,
Marty Dickens
Dear Craig:
I am sorry that I did not get a chance to introduce myself to you last night at the Symphony Ball. I had so many people demanding my attention and asking questions. I did want you to know that I had so many wonderful comments about your music last night.
Anyway-we stayed to the very end and I loved seeing everyone dancing and having so much fun. I was so surprised when the young people went up the steps of the stage to dance. Even my own 26 year old son enjoyed dancing with his mom.
So Craig thank you so much for playing for us again at the Huntsville Symphony Ball. You all were WONDERFUL!
Warmly,
Linda Akenhead
Craig! I cannot tell you how perfect your band made our wedding reception. It was better than I had ever imagined. I have since received so many compliments on you all. Keep up the amazing talent!!
