I’ve worked with dozens of bands over the years, and no other group nails it like the Hot Pickin 57s. Before the show they are a breeze to schedule. Day of- they’re timely and hassle free. And during the performance they’ll crush it with fun originals, spot-on classics, incredible talent, an energized presence, and some jokes in-between songs to let you catch your breath. I literally couldn’t recommend them more.

The guys wer great! They were focused on all the right things during pre- planning, on time and then gave a great performance. They were a pleasure to work with!

Great music, easy to work with. We hired them for a corporate cocktail party and they killed it. I will definitely hire them again.

Hot Pickin played our annual fundraiser. They were amazing, made the night. I could NOT recommend this band enough. Played for 250 people, and everyone loved the music.

I worked with Hot Pickin 57s as a wedding planner and found them to be really lovely to work with. They were responsive, arrived early, flexible when the schedule changed a bit during the wedding, and their music set the perfect tone for the outdoor dinner reception we were hosting.
