Reviews: What Our Venues Say
"Oh my gosh, we had Dave's Killer Band at Garland Nursery on July 20th as part of our Art & Wine in the Garden event, and boy, they lived up to their name...they killed it. We had such a positive response to them being at our event and we even had customers come back on Sunday asking if they were going to play again. The band is lively, engaging, and entertaining, and everyone was dancing and singing along. It was such a draw for us to have them here. What a special group, and we can't wait to have them back again. "
Erica, Co-Owner, Garland’s Nursery
