Jim,
 
I wanted to THANK YOU again for such a wonderful performance last Friday for our Atlanta Braves' Hall of Fame Luncheon at Turner Field's 755 Club. I have heard nothing but great reviews about your fantastic tunes. It really was a great addition to make our luncheon first class this year. I will let you know if anything comes up in the future and Im of course recommending you to those that are looking for a first class pianist.

Take Care,

Jim,
 
Thank you for providing The Blue Sky Band, the perfect music for our daughter's wedding celebration at the Ritz-Carlton on Saturday June 10, 2006.

Normally, most of my friends are very quiet and don't dance, but your band had everyone on the dance floor the whole night. Your music appealed to all ages - from the 5-year-old flower girl to the oldest guests in their 70's. I have had phone calls and emails from my friends telling me that they have never had so much fun on the dance floor.

I hope you will be hearing from some friends who got your card because they want to talk with you about playing at one of their fund raisers in Cashiers, North Carolina.

Thank you for adding so much to the evening. It was amazing.

I would recommend your band to anyone, you were the perfect choice for our reception. Thanks again for everything!

Dear Jim:
Wow! You and your band, Blue Sky, were so much more than I ever imagined! You managed to make Kate & Brian's wedding reception magical. I can't believe anyone would want Dj after hearing your group - in fact, I just gave your card to a lady on my tennis team whose daughter is getting married next May, 2006. Thanks so much Blue Sky Atlanta. Toni & Joe Crowley

Dear Jim:
Just a quick note to tell you once again how much the crowd enjoyed your performance with your band Blue Sky on Friday September 17, 2004. You really hit the nail on the head with your song selections. And if it weren't for this group's hip replacements, bum knees, heart problems, etc., the dance floor would have been PACKED.

Holway’s Dunwoody Coach House - September 7, 2002
Dear Jim,
I wanted to write and thank you for making Megan and Seth’s reception such a wonderful time. Jen, I thoroughly enjoyed working with you. You were so accessible and had all the answers for a first time ‘mother of the bride’. Jim, the music was great. You and your band were the height of professionalism. The combination of your band and the DJ was exactly what Megan and Seth were looking for. The UGA ‘tribute’ was such fun. I know all the alumni got a kick out of it. Once again, thank you for making Megan’s special day all the more memorable. And since I have two more daughters, we will be calling you again!!
Sincerely, Marilyn and Donnie Massey

Dear Jim:
You and your band were perfect for our wedding reception at Studio Two. Remember my only requirement, that you keep people dancing? Well, I think some of our guests wore out the soles of their shoes. You helped us put on the best wedding ever! We have friends getting married in October in Norcross. They've hired a DJ (ugh), but she is looking for an organ player for the ceremony. I've given her your name and web page. I hope you can help her out.
Best wishes,

"We hired Jim and his band, Blue Sky, for the first function I was involved in at ACRI, a holiday party for 250 doctors on December 5, 2001 at the Egyptian Ballroom, and I have to say that from start to finish they were a great help. The music was exactly what we needed and they even learned a few songs I asked them to play for my wife and I. Since the event I have been in contact with Jim who has been in the music business for over 20 years in Atlanta, to help up with other fundraisers. I give Blue Sky, Jim Tiernan and Blue Sky Atlanta a BIG thumbs up!"
