20/10 would recommend working with ABE!
Amazing experience with them from start to finish! We booked Push the Limit through ABE for our September 2020 zoo wedding, which we then had to postpone (due to that whole Covid pandemic) to September 2021. ABE made the postponement as easy as possible. They were empathetic with us and showed that they truly cared about our special day.
Our primary contact through the process was Bridget (though we spoke with Jon as well and he was just as awesome!) and she couldn't have been easier to work with. She was quick to respond and went above and beyond in helping

We booked No Diggity through ABE for our wedding in Nashville. We are 40 and have been to more weddings than we can count and No Diggity was the best entertainment we have seen at any wedding hands down. They were high energy and interacted with all of our guests keeping everyone on the dance floor for four hours. They helped us last minute with our playlist and were great with communication the whole way through. If you love the 90’s and know how to have a good time, this is the band for you!

Nothing but great things to say about ABE! They are an agency that is true to their word and never leave you in the dark on the details of a show. I absolutely love the way Jon runs the business. I know exactly what their responsibilities are as well as my own. And it seems like they do treat their clients the same. Every time we speak with the clients while at the show, they tell us what a pleasure it was to book thru the agency and that they are looking forward to working with us again. It's a great feeling to be apart of ABE and I know that I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks ABE!

As a seasoned musician, I know that having great representation is 80% of how the band becomes successful. What's different about ABE is that they put the musician's needs first. They show that the musician's feelings and ideas are as good as their own and they honestly see things from the other person's point of view. This is the biggest difference that I see from the other agencies in the area. The other agencies have more of a Draconian point of view and ABE really gains their success from a more thoughtful way of thinking. It helps me be a better band member and it helps me feel like I'm apart

ABE is great! McLovin joined the ranks of ABE a few years back and we don’t regret it one bit. All of the staff are amazing and they always go above and beyond for their clients and bands. They are extremely transparent and honest and always have our backs. I highly recommend ABE for your entertainment needs! They are tied in with all of the top venues and clients in the area so you will not be disappointed.

I am a member of an ABE represented band...JOHNNY ROCK-ITT and the Double Wide Symphony. We have been booked exclusively by American Bands Entertainment for the past 15 years.
We certainly couldn't ask for better from an agency...we have always been treated with respect, honesty and hard work by everyone at ABE.
It is a pleasure to work with American Bands Entertainment and we know from years of personal experience that clients/venues who book us through them feel the same.

Very proud to be a part of this agency. They are always thinking outside the box for the next great gig, and expanding in so many ways to bring you entertainment. Very easy to work with, and always working hard for all of us bands...even in the middle of a pandemic, they were thinking of creative ways to be able to get us out there playing in a safe way for everyone.

I have used ABE for our annual summer concert series in Elsberry Missouri each of the last 3 years. They (in particular Bridgette) have been very professional and made my decisions and project planning very easy. I highly recommend them!
