ENDORSEMENTS

"The music that Bona Fide provides for our Bogus Creek Ranch events is excellent, but the group really excels in connecting with our wide variety of guests. Our parties range from as few as a dozen executives on retreat to family-oriented company parties of more than a thousand people. Bona Fide does a great job in meeting the challenge of entertaining such a wide range of interests." Bogus Creek Outfitters (Eagle, Idaho)

"It was really great to have Bona Fide play at our dinner Tuesday night for Idaho's Mexico sister state delegation. We've had so many people compliment the music and ask where we found you. You were really fantastic and reflected the Idaho we wanted to share with our Jaliscan friends. The Minister of Tourism commented to our administrator that the dinner and, specifically, your music, were the Idaho experience he had been waiting to receive." Jill Jenkins (Idaho Department of Commerce and Labor, International Division)

"It was indeed wonderful that you were able to play and participate in our Outpost Days celebration. Your unique ability to weave a history lesson into music is a joy to behold. Owyhee County, Idaho and the region are indeed lucky to have the talents of you possess as a historical resource. Our first annual Western Heritage Music Festival was a resounding success, in no small part due to your tireless performances, advice, humor, and charm." Dr. Thom Couch, Director ( Owyhee County Historical Society)

"I have had the pleasure of listening to Bona Fide numerous times in widely varied settings. I am always impressed with their original songs about the history of Idaho and other subjects. Their traditional renditions of old favorites such as "San Antonio Rose" are fun and make really good listening. Their varied styles of some blue grass and folk-like songs make it a real pleasure to attend their performances. They are comfortable with any crowd and adapt to any occasion, including the recent state-wide Idaho Wildlife Federation meeting of more than 300 people that I helped to conduct. I am positive that the general public will be hearing a lot more about Bona Fide." Fred A. Christensen (Idaho Wildlife Federation)

"Bona Fide does more than just teach History, they make History come alive through the two things that kids love most...stories and music. Through their creative songs, skilled musicianship, and positive outlook on History, students learn that History can be fun. Bona Fide has visited my classroom 3 times and after every performance the students are left talking about the interesting things they learned through the stories and songs of Bona Fide. Many students turn off when they hear the word History and especially when they hear the word Bluegrass...needless to say, their impression is drastically changed from "Boring" to "I want to learn more!". Derek Inman (Nampa South Elementary School, Idaho)
