Gary and his son provided entertainment for our HOA neighbors and guests at Beckett Ridge Golf Club. We will certainly be using them again.

Event Entertainment
Gary Bertsch and his son were absolutely amazing! They are very talented, a lot of fun, and their lively folk rock kept all generations truly entertained.
A great mix of original songs and covers too! We received so many compliments from our party-goers. And to top it off they are extremely polite and so easy to work with!
Will definitely book again! Thank you!

Professional and Great Experience
Gary Bertsch and the Blamers have played at my place more than any other band. They act professional, arrive early, and are ready to go before the time they are supposed to go on stage. Once on stage, they have an amazing sound. Their original song writing is reminiscent of Woody and Arlo Guthrie, while their style is more like the Avett Brothers. They bring a great energy to every show!

Best band EVER!!!
I am a huge fan of Gary Bertsch and the Blamers! Gary has a magical talent of turning moments of his life into the best songs I've ever heard! This band is a treasure hidden in my hometown and I love that every time I see them play there is always a new Blamer sharing their hidden talent! If you have never heard them play before, you are missing out, stop by any fabulous venue that they play and you will be glad you did!

Absolute hit for my Oktoberfest party!
Gary was the perfect headliner for my Oktoberfest party. He was great with the crowd and played music to fit the theme. My guests had nothing but compliments. I highly recommend his band and am glad to have found him! Prost!

"I reached out to Gary to play a graduation party held in the backyard. Gary brought a big stage feel and incorporated that into our intimate setting and the crowd could not have been more engaged. A true professional, he would feel at home playing at Riverbend, my backyard, or anywhere in between. Book Gary for your next event and your guests will have a wonderful evening."

"We’ve been able to make it out to the last two shows at the brewery and I am listening to your album on Apple. I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed it. You just give off this passionate and positive vibe in your show and it’s so good to get out of the house, be around other people and experience that right now. Your lyrics are thoughtful and passionate and you’ve inspired me to get my guitar back out and start playing again."

Great Music and they stayed later than they were booked!
I booked Gary and his group for the 2018 Greenhills Harvest Fest as our headliner and although I was too tired to stay to hear them play I was given rave reviews from our volunteers and committee about their performance! One of my council members told me that they sounded great, the crowd was really enjoying the performance, dancing along and that the band even stayed 45 min longer than they were booked to perform! I really appreciate how great these guys were to work with and knowing that our crowd was enjoying them! Thank you so much to Gary and The Blamers for a great performance!

Music - Band
Gary’s music is energetic folk rock with an Americana feel. Fans enjoy his authenticity on stage as well as his heartfelt emotion, humor, and story telling. Gary performs as a duo up to a four piece band...so whatever the space, he can fit your needs. One of the most interesting aspects to his performance is his oldest son, Garren, on saxophone. Their mixture of acoustic rhythms and saxophone is truly unique. Along with original music, Gary covers such acts as: John Prine, Tom Petty, The Lumineers, The Band, and Mumford & Sons.
