Here are some nice things people have said of us along the way.
Raggedy Edge has played at a variety of our events at Proper Shops including corporate, grand opening and anniversary events. They know how to draw a crowd with their upbeat, fun music and also offer a wide range of genres! They are reliable, super easy to work with and know how to navigate any challenges that may arise during the events. While they are so much fun, they are professional and willing to accommodate sudden schedule changes. I highly recommend Raggedy Edge if you're looking for great, fun, live music!!

Raggedy Edge was the perfect choice for our fundraisers for the Open Arms Free Clinic in Bellbrook, Ohio. Bob and Lynn were very professional, and worked well with the other performers. They have great voices and a large repertoire of original songs. So many of our patrons at the BellHOP Café complimented their performance, and our sound tech enjoyed working with them. We highly recommend Raggedy Edge to anyone looking for their family friendly music.

"I highly recommend Raggedy Edge. Having their live music at our political fundraiser added an enjoyable and special element to the evening. They worked with our agenda to provide music before and after the speeches. Their presentation, from song selection to musicianship to camaraderie with the attendees, perfectly fit the mood for the evening."
Pam R., Event Host, Tucson, Arizona
"Raggedy Edge provided the music for our foundation event. These seasoned professionals were easy to work with, and the quality of their music was outstanding. Definitely a crowd pleaser!""

"We loved having Lynn and Bob play the ceremony music at our wedding! They were professional, easy to work with, personable, and really attentive to what we wanted. They provided suggestions when needed on what songs would work best, and guidance on length, timing, and pacing which was very appreciated to ensure everything went smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!"

"We very much enjoyed hosting Raggedy Edge for our backyard concert. My friends were enthralled to have two such great performers who had a real story to tell through their music! The setting was my own backyard and my guests all had a great time. It really added a new element to entertaining at home!"
~K. Coughlin, House Concert Host, Fort Myers, FL
"We loved the intimacy of the performance, the banter between songs, the type of music you played, and being able to meet and talk with you after the set. Folks were tapping their feet or bobbing their heads. Everyone has commented to me about how much they enjoyed the experience."
