"Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed having the Love Handles provide the entertainment for my Mom’s surprise birthday party! We had the best time, and it was all because of your band. The energy and music was fabulous. One of the things about the band that really stood out to me was the wide range of song selections….we had folks of all age groups at the party, and you played something for all of them. I have had many compliments, and we definitely will use your band again for future events!"

"The Love Handles played for our wedding reception and everyone was totally captivated.  Our guests continue to comment to us on what a fantastic band and want to know where they are playing next! We totally agree and are so thrilled they were able to play at our wedding as they made the occasion much more special.  As Chip, my new husband says, they knocked it out of the park! These guys are seasoned musicians who emit a big sound with excellent vocals, extremely tight and display lots of energy. Not only are they a great band, but a great bunch of fellows and a pleasure to have had at our reception. The Love Handles made our dream wedding perfect!"

"The Love Handles were one of the featured bands at the 2009 Halloween in Five Points celebration. They were great! They kept the crowd entertained with their mix of old school funk, one hit wonders, and rockin’ rhythm & blues. Great vocals, great players, and a great dance groove to boot! I would highly recommend the Love Handles to anyone looking for a band for their next engagement."

"The Love Handles played an exciting, diverse and energetic mix of songs that kept our Members dancing! They have a great stage presence that makes everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Our Charity Classic event was a big success in large part because of the music provided by the members of The Love Handles. I'd say it is some of the best live music I've heard at the Club!"
