Dixon Bledsoe., Fan and Spectator Silverton, OR

"Ok, Silverton Shindig fans! This woman singing behind Main Street Bistro in the alley? Incredible. Awesome voice. 12:30 p.m. classics and country. Wow! They were terrific. I was working and our shop backs up to the alley. I paid attention when they did Rocky Mountain High, but when she belted out Patsy Cline's 'Leaving on Your Mind,' I was in love." (It was actually Take Me Home Country Roads, but we might add that one!). Thank you for your kind words, Dixon. 🙂

Cindy S. Oregon Garden Resort Fireside Lounge

"We went to Oregon Garden last night and watched Next of Kin. We were so wowed! They were amazing. Loved the “old” country. If you haven’t seen them, you are missing out. Both Lou and Alan were so nice and personable."

Scott D., Fan and Spectator Silverton, OR

"It's always special to me to get to hear y'all and listen to those wonderful songs of yesteryear echoing against the buildings once again. It takes me back in time to something beautiful!"

High Desert Museum, Megan K., Senior Donor Relations Manager Bend, OR

"Thank you so much for being a part of our 33^rd Annual Rendezvous fundraiser. It was a wonderful evening and we have had nothing but great remarks about your music. Our guests enjoyed dancing and we were happy to see many of them continued to linger following the main event. Your selections were fantastic, and it was great working with both of you."

Penny B. Oregon Garden Resort, Fireside Lounge

"Another enjoyable evening listening to Alan and Lou, Next of Kin, at the Oregon Gardens Fireside Lounge. Exceptional performance. Their music selection reminds us of songs we listened to from years past and their tidbits of who wrote and sang them gave background of the song’s popularity. The interjection of humor into the evening caused good laughter of the audience. Thanks, you two for another time for Norm and I to have a great evening listening to many of our favorite songs. Looking forward to next month. Same place same time! Penny"

Lynne Rice Oregon Garden Resort Fireside Lounge

"Next of Kin is an upbeat, back home country band. The two of them together, Alan and Lou, blend wonderfully together. They have a wide variety of music and are always very entertaining. They also get very involved with the crowd. They bring back a lot of the old country tunes that time has forgotten and their expertise on their instruments shows the years of experience they have in the music industry. They get involved with the crowd when they are on the stage, and when they are on their break, they mingle thru and visit with the people who have come to enjoy their music. Alan and Lou are very good at making an enjoyable, relaxing, easy listening, comical at times, wonderful night of entertainment. The Oregon Garden Fireside Lounge has enjoyed their music for six years this coming August. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Next of Kin!!"

Shari M. Spectator, Fan

"So enjoyed meeting you guys at the Gardens! Such a great show, we thoroughly enjoyed the evening hanging out and listening to you. You guys' not only sound wonderful, but loved the joking and stories in between. I look forward to seeing you again. :)"

Marti E Vancouver Pointe

"'Next of Kin' gave a great performance yesterday. You sounded great and dressed well for the occasion, too! I've been receiving a lot of favorable feedback from residents, and it would be great to have you return for another big event. I'll keep Next of Kin in mind as we look at fall and winter event scheduling."

Donna B. Marion County Fair

"They should be in Nashville making recordings...saw today at the fair... beautiful/awesome! Wish I had some recordings!"

Stephen S. Spectator, Fan

"Alan and Lou have an ease, an unforced, authentic ease with their music and with their audience. Accomplished musicians and singers that leave you with the impression that they could hold their own in other genres, but have chosen their niche like people choose a familiar camping spot, or a favorite couch next to the fire. And the sheer smooth talent of Lou's vocals add the undeniable finishing touch to the draw of this wonderful Northwest duo."

Jan H. Spectator, Fan

"For my Mom's 80th open house birthday party I researched groups that were kind and patient toward elder folks & little ones, had clear heartfelt singing voices, were interactive with their audience, were open to singing song choices specifically of my Mom's liking and who were approachable. I went to observe them at one of their gig's...Next of Kin had it all! They were fantastic! I hired them on the spot! At the 80th birthday party many guest stayed well past the buffet/dessert time because they said Next of Kin was so beautiful and mesmerizing to listen too. People danced! My guests and caterer asked and received Next of Kin's contact information. Next of Kin were on time and the sound system and clarity of their voices was great! Next time I have a party they are the one's I'll call! I highly recommend them! Thank you Next of Kin for the special feeling you added to this happy occasion for my Mom! Sincerely, Jan H."

Author, William Burt http://www.Greencloaks.com; Spectator, fan

"Their sound is perfect, as far as I am concerned. Lou's voice sounds like Anne Murray's, if that's possible. Alan is great on the bass violin. I can't say enough good things about them. I've checked out their website and will be at their July 4 performance. I've never liked or followed a band on Facebook before, let alone reviewed one, but I've made a big, big exception in this case! You've gotta hear this band, which definitely deserves greater exposure."

Jessica J. Life Enrichment Director, The Springs Living

"It was terrific having you perform for our community, and I had a ton of positive feedback from the audience as well as the staff. The residents also mentioned that your performance was very engaging and they can't wait to have you back!"

Penny B. Spectator, Fan

"We have heard Next of Kin a number of times and enjoy their choice of music. Easy to listen to and also dance to. We have enjoyed songs that take us back to our more youthful days, some fun sing-a-longs, and more modern selections, too. We always come away fully entertained. Looking forward to a full weekend of listening pleasure as we are going to see them at Chinook Winds to get our music fix!"

The ALS Association Oregon & SW Washington Chapter Ride to Defeat ALS Benefit

"Next of Kin was truly a remarkable band to work with and added to the overall success of our event, Ride to Defeat ALS, benefitting The ALS Association Oregon and SW Washington Chapter! We heard such positive feedback from multiple participants throughout the day that enjoyed Next of Kin, and complimented their professionalism, playlist, and overall quality. We plan on using Next of Kin again and would highly recommend them for any family friendly event."

Ashley R., Community Relations Director Pacifica Senior Living McMinnville

Speaking of the Next of Kin duo show: "I cannot thank you enough for coming to perform for our elders last night. Everyone is still talking about the great time we had last night! Even with our elders who have Alzheimer's and Dementia, they still can enjoy life to the fullest, and having great music to sing and dance to, that makes it all the better! We will definitely have you back, and I will recommend you to anyone who needs music played! Let's keep in touch, and I would love to have you come play again soon!"

Maxine R. Spectator, Fan

"Loved seeing you today at Skamania Lodge! You are amazing and yes, Happy Music for sure. I'm so glad we came today and enjoyed the perfect afternoon, thanks to you. 🙂 Your performance was golden!"

Linda R. Country Meadows Village, Life Enrichment Director

Speaking of the Next of Kin, a musical duo show and the Next of Kin, feat. Trent Baarspul show:

“Next of Kin” is a fabulously entertaining band and we love to have them come to Country Meadows Village. They not only play fun music but they put on a real show. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a professional and entertaining country and classic band. I give “Next of Kin” 5 stars!"

From a Fan!

Vern Holmquist, "The Ol' Curmudgeon," Our Town Magazine Davenport Place

Speaking of Next of Kin, a musical duo show:

"If you long to hear the melody and understand the words, then chances are you will enjoy listening to "NEXT OF KIN" playing those oldies but goodies that have survived the test of time!"

Shauna T., Activity Director Parkland Village

"Parkland Village Retirement would like to give a HUGE thank you to “Next of Kin.” I had them perform for our Western Theme Father’s Day BBQ and they were AMAZING!!! They nail the Country Classics and their talent is outstanding. This was the first time I have had them play for us at Parkland Village and our residents were going up to them afterwards praising them and asking them to come back again. I have had “Next of Kin” perform in the past for some of my events outside of Parkland Village and I would highly recommend them for any event. We will be having them back again soon!"

Stefanie A., Stage Management SFAF 2015 Silverton Fine Arts Festival

"Dear NoK: What fun to experience your group again at the Silverton Fine Arts Festival on Saturday, August 15, 2015. Your performance as always was enjoyed by all who heard it! Keep up the great harmonies and musicality!"

Sherrie H., Activity Director Mt Angel Towers

"I have hired many entertainers in the last 13 years, but I have to say that Next of Kin is one of my favorites and one of the best groups around. They are professional, good with the audience, and can play all kinds of music. I recommend them for any event you might have."

Hillary B. Dallas Retirement Village

Speaking of Next of Kin, a musical duo show:

"It was FABULOUS!!!!"

Jamie B. Silver Spur RV Park

"You guys were amazing as always!"

Susan C. NorthWest Place

Speaking of Next of Kin, a musical duo show:

"Thank you for performing for us at our Halloween party, residents had nothing but great things to say about your music! We had such a lovely time, it made the evening. We look forward to having you perform here in the future at NorthWest Place."

Rebekah C. Jennings McCall

"We just finished up a performance with Next of Kin at our facility. This is the first time we have had them here, and many of our residents really enjoyed their program. One of our residents commented that they were the best entertainers we've ever had. So, I will continue to hire Next of Kin for sure!"

Stefanie A., Stage Management SFAF 2014 Silverton Fine Arts Festival

"Dear Friends: It was so good to be able to book your musical act to perform at the Silverton Fine Arts Festival. Each one of you played exceptionally well and comments from the audience and festival committee were very positive. Your great original music was also high on the list and standards were rendered with respect and class! Bravo and Brava to all!"
