HERE IS WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING:.....

 "THE HIT-N-RUN BAND was the perfect band for our once in a lifetime wedding.  From the moment of our first meeting with their manager, Lisa - we knew we did not have a thing to worry about.  Every detail was discussed - even ones we forgot about and she made sure our dreams came true along with the band!    The amazing vocals and variety of styles and music just kept exploding from them like beautiful fireworks.  Every song was so perfect and they entertained our guests with the utmost professionalism, and kept the dance floor packed.  Just like they said in their marketing package - they make last second changes seem like they were planned all along and we threw them a few curves.  Every bride and groom should be so lucky to have such a great band.  We loved them and are still getting compliments on the entertainment and we've been married now over a year!  I'm so glad I could have some input on their website. "  Tiffany and James- Houston,

"I was very THRILLED with the fantastic music of Hit-N-Run.  They dressed, acted and played like the pro's they are.  Huge variety of music that pleased everyone. The best band I've heard in three states and I should know - my career is booking bands.   I can't wait to book this band." Richard-Houston, Texas

Hi Lisa & Charlie,Love is being married to your best friend

 Hey Lisa,  Tell Charlie how much I enjoyed the band!  He is a real talent!!  I think he should have been discovered and made records!!  You are so good at managing the band and being their sound engineer.  They always sound perfect!  I really did enjoy the fun & music!!  So did my husband. Keep me informed when anything is close in, we'd love to come out again......

Love,  Lena JaneEdit Text

 Charlie and the Hit-N-Run Big Band                   (Headliner Band for the Italian Festival - 2009)

You guys were a hit as usual and as in all the years past you have played for us.  The turnout was great and I got endless compliments from people at the Italian Festival, the vendors, and from the volunteers and committee chairmen.  You are already receiving bookings from this event for weddings and other galas.  We look forward to you headlining the event again in 2010.  

 Thanks, FP

Lisa, thanks for the kind words, you made life easier for me! Bands like yours are few and far between - very farThe mix and volume was perfect for the huge wedding.  The professionalism & musicianship of you & the band deserves a Ten Star rating if there is such a thing. From the way you conducted yourselves to the attire and the way you set up your stage so organized, the "light" show, the way that you Lisa worked with our staff and the photographers and everyone from the kitchen to the front door  far exceeded our expectations.  You are the easiest, most exciting and  fun and talented band I have had the pleasure to work with.  It is also very unusual to see a woman like yourself handling the entire band, mixing the sound, doing the lighting, and being able to converse simultaneously with guests making song requests or inquiries about your band.  You were able to please hundreds of guests - a feat that is usually hard to do.  Compliments poured in the entire night  and .... just as your website says -yall made last minute changes look like they were planned all along without any commotion and with all the delays and changes we made -you made it work perfectly and instantly. We were thrilled and never in a million years thought a band could do what you do and also be such a pleasure to work with from the moment we first spoke til you drove out of sight. The dance floor was packed all night way past the dance floor onto the carpet!  The accolades you and your band made note of throughout the night from the chef, our hotel, the food, the flowers, the management and staff,  - you made note of it all and so considerately thanked them all and complimented each and every one.  That was a thrill for us all.    That never happens with bands who have been here before and it is so nice to be remembered when things are so busy.   There was so much about you and the group that exceeds any thanks we have for you and we are sure you are always busy but we sincerely hope we will have the honor of working with you and your band again....I will definitely recommend Hit-n-Run for any band needs I may have!

Lisa,

You and Charlie and the whole band are AWESOME!!!! You guys are one of the nicest bands I have had to work with. I am glad we got a chance to have y'all play out here and I am so happy that the members of our private marina and country club love y'all. I wish I could have booked you all of  June, July and August.I am trying to talk them into having night partys at the pool. The members were telling me that they want the tiki bar to stay open later and have a band at night so they can dance the night away. They requested y'all to play for them....how does that feel???!!! I know y'all will like that. Let me try to get this going and see what happenes.

Hi Lisa!

We just want to say Thanks again to you and the band for making our wedding so memorable! We had such a great time and there were so many compliments on how
much everyone enjoyed the band. In fact-I don't think anyone really wanted to leave! My only regret was not having someone tape the grand march and cella
luna....apparently that was a sight to see!

Thanks again from the bottom of our heart. Your help and efforts made our wedding night one for the books!

love,
Sherri & DJ

Thanks again to my  children and their husbands and daughter- in- law to be for the anniversary party and for finding the best band we have ever heard.    I know you worked so hard on the party.  Food was great too.  Thank you Charles and Lisa-j we hated to leave even though we had been there for four hours listening and dancing to all the different styles of music and hearing the great harmonies your band has.  The band was wonderful and really made the evening a great night.  Wallace and I was really surprised.

Hey, y’all! I wanted to send my personal thanks to all the musicians who came out and made Charles Murphy’s benefit a smashing success!  Your presence was so important to the success of the event, and also to Charles.  It was a wonderful day, and I really appreciate that everyone was on time and cooperative in making the schedule work.  Thank you!  The music was FABULOUS, and we really showed everyone who came to listen that Houston has a great variety of wonderful music and musicians.  I look forward to seeing everyone again soon!ROCK ON!

Hi cousin Lisa!

Thank you soooo much for everything, y'all were awesome & everyone was 
asking me where we found y'all   :).   I told them that you were family!!!

I'm sorry I wasn't able to talk to you more before the wedding about 
all the details I was just sooo busy with everything & couldn't manage 
my time correctly... but you took care of it all.

I think everything went awesome & I couldn't be happier :). Thank you 
for letting us have the speakers & laptop with our music far past midnight (til 2 a.m)  we had a blast!!!

Also all the goodies we awesome!!!  I loved the drum sticks, I gave 
those to my brother since he plays the drums I thought he would love 
to have them!!! And all the frames were awesome also :)

I did notice on the paper you wrote t-shirts & there weren't any in 
the bag, can we buy 2 from you?  Zach & I would love to wear them 
around!!!

Thanks a million cousin,
Love, Liz Wright - I love my last name!!!
