Reviews

“SOTR was so fun, the crowd really enjoyed them. Lots of GREAT interaction. GREAT sounds. GREAT variety. And very easy to work with! I would highly recommend SOTR for any event, especially a festival setting.”

–Maple Grove Days Chairperson

“Alright, so let’s get real. This is, after all, what Spirit Of The Radio are all about – real music for real people. From the first note to the last cymbal crash, Spirit Of The Radio bring you all the songs that will keep you on your feet for the entire night. You will hear all of the songs that make you turn up the radio. Now, I know what you are thinking, there are a lot of other bands that do the same thing. Not like these guys, they are a level above the rest. Spot on vocals and powerhouse musicians make this a band not to miss. We hired Spirit Of The Radio for the Blue Collar BBQ & Arts Festival. The 5000 people in attendance could not have been any happier. So, if you are looking for a band that has top notch musicians, who put on a powerhouse show, look no further than Spirit Of The Radio. You and the all the people in attendance will be happy that you did.”

“I had the pleasure of having Spirit Of The Radio perform to a very energetic and vibrant crowd. Their tag line, the Electrifying Radio Rock Experience, is spot on. Pat Balder is a true performer and his vocal range is bar none one of the best I have seen perform on our stage.

Tune in for a truly unforgettable evening of live, energy filled, entertainment for all ages.”
