Could not have asked for a better band! People are still talking about them. That's what most of our guest remember, the band and the food, and they're still raving about the Moondogs. They were very professional and were great at helping keep ...
things that we wouldn't have thought of moving smoothly; introducing the couple, first dance, when to get other people up and dancing when to do special dances and songs. The MC abilities weren't something I would have thought would have been that important, but they really were. If you've ever been to a wedding that didn't run smoothly and people didn't know what exactly to do, you'll know that having someone run things smoothly makes everything much easier and better for the guests. The music was fantastic and the guitarist's dance moves were amazing. We have already recommended them to other couples and would absolutely book them again if we ever have another need for a band.
Johnny Earthquake & the Moondogs is the only band you should be considering for your wedding! They personalize each show to their audience and interact with the crowd to keep everyone on the dance floor. Everyone is still raving about their per...

everyone was professional. The musicians were ALL TOP NOTCH….the fiddle player was an extra bonus and the crowd went wild over him. Guests danced all night long and are still talking about the band. Rodney and Kelly kept the crowd involved and entertained. They even came in the crowd with the tambourine and mic for people to sing along while they danced. They took minimal breaks. I truly can’t brag on this group enough! Booking them will be the best thing you do for your event!!

hnny always knows how to keep the audience engaged and entertained all night, and he made all our celebration dreams come true. I knew YEARS ago that I wanted Johnny Earthquake and ALL of the Moondogs to play at our wedding and it was with the wait. They played all of our favorite songs, were able to accommodate our requests and kept everyone dancing! I will always recommend them to anyone who needs a band in Louisiana and the surrounding areas. We loved every minute of our celebration as did our guests! THANK YOU JOHNNY EARTHQUAKE AND THE MOONDOGS - It was a party everyone in our family will remember!
After picking the wedding date our very first call was to Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs. Having them as our wedding band was a MUST! We had to cancel and reschedule due to the pandemic and they were so wonderful about everything. Adam ma...
de the logistics super easy and kept in touch with us as the date got closer. We hand picked every song and our guests were entertained from the moment the reception started. The band kept everything flowing and was completely interactive and personalized things just as we requested. Adam was so great about announcing things as they were happening and helped us keep things in order. They knew exactly how to get people moving and the dance floor was full until the last song was played. Everyone talked about the band for days and what a FUN time the reception was. If you need a band for any occasion look no further than the Moondogs. Our friends and family still tell us that our band was the best part of our reception and their feet hurt for days. We are looking for a reason to book them again!

th them was always professional, yet personal. Your band search stops here- Johnny Earthquake IS IT!
I normally don’t write reviews but this band certainly deserves a good one. I am not a musician, but I feel like I can tell the difference between professional quality and the average band. This band is outstanding in every way. Their instru...
mentals are great, the vocals are on key and the lead female singer has great vibrance in her voice. They also know how to make the overall sound crisp and not “clash” when they crank it up. They have an extensive song list. We had the band for our wedding and picked several 80’s hits which I even got to karaoke with a couple of times! You get what you pay for with this band and I highly recommend them.
Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs turned out to be one of the best decisions we made when it came to planning our wedding. They were single-handedly the reason that our reception turned out so amazing. I could not believe how good they were a...

We would pick Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs every time if we had to do it over again. They were such a great time and our guests LOVED them! The band's energy at the reception was completely contagious, and the dance floor was packed the w...
hole night! Adam was wonderful and so easy to work with. He even learned the song we wanted for our first dance and did a solo rendition, which was incredibly special, and something we will never forget. If you are looking for a super talented band to make your reception ROCK, book this band!!!
Can't imagine having anyone else play. Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs were incredible. They offer an amazing set list, were very easy to work with, and put on a fantastic show. I would highly recommend them !!!

The Moondogs were the life of the party at our wedding reception! As I’m sure most guys can relate, I didn’t really have much to do throughout the wedding planning process. I let my wife take care of everything and I am so glad she chose these ...

how interactive they were with our wedding party and even our guests. Besides being so fun, they are all extremely talented. I was very thankful that Adam made the effort to contact me and go over every detail to make sure the entertainment for the night was exactly what we wanted and how we wanted it. The band even learned a special song just for me! I highly recommend this band and you will NOT regret booking them. The music, lights, and whole presentation was just AWESOME. I wish I could do it all over again and dance some more! My family and friends are still talking about these guys and how fun our wedding was. I wish I had the option to give them more than 5 stars. I WILL be attending events in the future that this band is playing at!
The Moondogs MADE my wedding reception. I knew I wanted a live band that played mostly classic fun wedding songs, and they definitely delivered. They got the whole crowd up and dancing (even older guests and guests that normally wouldn't dance)...
and everyone was pretty much on the dance floor all night. They encourage lots of audience participation. I have had so many guests tell me my wedding was the funnest they had ever been to! You will absolutely not be disappointed choosing these guys for your wedding band!

Wow!!! I love this band! My guests loved this band, commenting and asking who they were all night long. They have a great song list and even learned the song we chose for our first dance! Best wedding decision I made!!
Johnny Earthquake and The Moondogs is such an amazing band! Choosing them for our wedding reception was one of the best decisions we could have made. The band had the dancefloor full the entire night. We had people of all ages (people in their ...
upper 80s to college students and children) at our reception and everyone seemed to really enjoy the music. Almost 2 months later and we are still hearing people talk about how much fun the band was. One of the best parts about this band is how much they interact with the people - They truly made our night extra fun!
Adam, the manager, was so easy-going in the planning process. He is full of great ideas & really made it easy to communicate with the band on what we wanted. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone trying to decide on their wedding band!!
They were amazing! It was great having them there to make light of all the people getting stuck and the weather.

The band has a g...
reat song list and you can pick your favorites to be played at your reception. The fiddle was a HUGE hit with our guests!
Johnny Earthquake & The Moondogs blew the night away. My wife booked the band, and I never heard them live leading up to the wedding. To be honest, I was a little skeptical about having a band rather than a DJ (they can play whatever song you...
'd like). After hearing them play, I do not regret our decision on allowing them to play at our wedding. They were phenomenal! I would highly suggest anyone who is on the fence about spending the extra money on a band--JUST DO IT!! It's worth every penny and our guest had an amazing time. They played every thing from 70's to country. They definitely exceeded our expectations and we are forever grateful that we were able to have them play at our wedding.
LOVE doesn't even begin to describe how much I enjoyed this band! I would highly recommend them to anyone. I first discovered them at my friends wedding, and immediately knew I wanted them to play in my wedding. They took the time to get to kno...
w our song interests and get to know us personally. We NEVER had an empty dance floor from the beginning to the end. They even helped create a fun remix for the father/daughter dance. I am hard to please and they went above and beyond. They responded to my every need immediately. Thank you for giving me the wedding of my dreams.
Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs were absolutely incredible. My bride and I never heard them live before the wedding so leading up to the date we were a little nervous, but once we heard the first song we knew we made the best choice possible...
. I had countless amount of people who attended the wedding come up to me afterwards and say that was the greatest wedding band they have ever heard. I even had one friend’s mom say that this band was better than the bands her kids had at their weddings. A truly magical night that was taking over the top by Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs.
We LOVED Johnny Earthquake! My husband's main goal for our wedding was an awesome band, and man did we find that (and more)! We booked them without hearing them, just based on reviews. Adam was very communicative and responsive. On the day of, ...
they got the party started from the very beginning!They even had our first dance, father/daughter, and mother/son dances to play. They played a variety of music, including county and Louisiana favorites for our mix of Texas and Louisiana families. You will not regret hiring Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs! They're fantastic.
We had a dry wedding and were concerned that our guest wouldn't want to dance. Boy were we wrong! JE&M made the event. They helped keep the excitement going and had everyone entertained. I'm so grateful for their help and willingness to work wi...

If you're looking to host the wedding of a lifetime - BOOK THIS BAND! I'm from New York and my husband is from Louisiana. We were married this past weekend in Shreveport. I knew nothing about any of the Louisiana vendors but knew from the seco...
nd I spoke to Adam that booking Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs was the right decision. Adam helped me carefully select amazing songs to keep our guests on the dance floor ALL NIGHT! From their first chord to their last of the evening, Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs played their hearts out! The vocals were on point and every instrument played with soul and true talent. Our guests have been raving about the band nonstop and commenting that we threw a wedding/concert complete with a Second Line and every possible genre of music you can think of! Rating this band with only five stars is insulting - they deserve about 105 stars. Thank you Adam and Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs for an unforgettable event! We love you guys!
This was truly the BEST Wedding Reception band I have ever heard! Very talented, with a great variety of music. The dance floor was packed the WHOLE NIGHT! My only complaint is that I wish it could have lasted longer!
When my fiancé and I got engaged I did not even hesitate when he asked me who we wanted to play our reception. After experiencing The Moondogs at several wedding receptions, I knew without a doubt a doubt we wanted The Moondogs! If you are look...
ing for the PERFECT band to play your reception, look no further! Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs is by far the best band out there! Our guests never left the dance floor! They play a wide variety of songs and add a personal touch to every aspect of the night. My guests still cannot stop talking about how much fun they had! We are already talking about have them back for an anniversary party in the future! Trust me, your guests will talk about your reception for years to come.
I was blown away on our big day. The Moondogs threw a party from the moment they second lined us into the reception until the moment we left. We had quite a few requests and they were all pulled off flawlessly. I asked them a few days before to...
learn a song for my dance with my mom and I didn't think they'd be able to make it happen, but when they started playing it my mom and I lit up. We never considered another option as to who would play for our reception!
Johnny Earthquake and The Moondogs were wonderful! Our family and friends loved them and were on the dance floor the entire night. We highly recommend them!
The band was by far the life of the party. We had a ton of fun and we've had family members contact us just to tell us how awesome the band was! It wouldn't have been the same without the Moondogs keeping everyone dancing and entertained. Th...
anks Moondogs!
The Moondogs rocked our wedding night from start to finish! Such a fun crew!
BOOK THIS BAND!!! This is the one thing about our wedding that our guests keep bringing up over and over again - it is a unanimous "That band was amazing!" - and we couldn't agree more!
The Moondogs made our wedding truly a night we will ne...
ver forget! They pulled out so many surprises for us including asking the wedding party to the stage to do an impromptu sing-a-long which made for some epic pictures! The variety of music was outstanding (even though we gave them zero suggestions) and they easily accommodated our request to play particular 1st dance songs (via their audio system). They worked effortlessly with our day of wedding coordinator and facilitated our requests for the timing of the music throughout the night ("elevator" type music before the 1st dances, during the cake cutting, etc.) AND even surprised us with a 2nd line exit to leave our venue!
Our dance floor was basically always full and there were never any "awkward" moments of people just standing around. The musicians were all very professional and amazingly talented. Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without such an amazing band, and based on the feedback we have gotten from our guests - they all agree!
Thanks Moondogs!
I couldn't have imagined a more entertains band at my wedding! They were so enteractive and full of energy! I request them for anyone looking for a party!! Vocals and instruments were amazing and they allowed my bridesmaids on stage to rock out...

I'm a wedding coordinator in northeast Louisiana. This was my first time working with The Moondogs and they are absolutely the best band I have ever worked with!

The couple and their guests were extremely pleased with the band. I've had numerous requests for them for more weddings and will definitely be working with them in the future. Highly recommended!

Most memorable part of our wedding! Thanks Moondogs!!

(Kelsi and Mark's Wedding)
Man I just heard Tennessee Whiskey on the radio and thought about how you guys rocked the house this summer. Every time someone talks to us about the wedding that always say "man that band was awesome". I'll give y'all a call for my next party...
!!
Thanks for the memories,
Mark
I vividly remember the first wedding reception I attended years back and Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs rocked the show. I knew then they would be a great option to have in the future. I was the given the opportunity to get to know the lead...
singer, Rodney Harrington, on a personal list. His heart and priority is to make sure people around him are always having a great time. That trait is irreplaceable when it comes to choosing the right wedding band.
My expectations were surpassed the night of my husband and I's wedding reception! Weeks later our guest are still bragging of not only how great of a band Jonhhy Earthquake and the Moondigs were but also how interactive and entertaining they were. I am not exaggerating when I say the dance floor was packed all night long! It was the best party ever thanks to one awesome wedding band.
Choose Johnny Earhquake and you will not regret it. Reasonablly priced, very easy to work with through planning process, and will provide music and memories that will forever be cherished.
We searched long and hard for the perfect band for our wedding! Johnny Earthquake & the Moondogs made our reception a PARTY!!! They got our wedding party & all of the guests involved! They even stayed past quitting time because the dance floor ...
was full! Everyone we have talked to said they LOVED the band! If we could do it all again, we would choose yall every time!! Thanks again for an unforgettable night!
Kelsi & Mark White
Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs played at our daughter's wedding. They were amazing. Everyone was talking about what a great time and best party ever. Over forty years of attending weddings and this was clearly the best.
This band is absolutely amazing! Before the wedding I hadn't heard them before, but they were recommended to me by a couple of friends and I saw their positive reviews. They completely exceeded any expectation I ever had! They were so fun and p...
ersonalized the entire reception to the bride and groom. It was so special! All of our guests, local and from around the country, have commented on how amazing the band was and how it was the best reception they have ever been to. They are extremely easy to work with throughout the planning process - so if you are considering a band for your wedding: Book them now! This was the best decision we made for the reception, everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and nobody wanted them to stop!
Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs gave an amazing performance at our wedding reception! We had a destination wedding and returned home to Alexandria, LA to celebrate with our family and friends. From my first conversation with Adam, I knew th...
is would be a fabulous night! We communicated through frequently through email and by phone to select songs This band has a huge song list and will learn new songs requested. Adam took time in our conversations to get to know us and what we wanted at our event. I could not have made a better choice! Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs kept everyone on the dance floor all night! Johnny kept everyone engaged and made us feel special. I don’t sing, but found myself in front of a microphone with a tambourine in my hand. People are still commenting on what an amazing time they had and that it was ABSOLUTELY the most fun they have ever had at a wedding reception! Even the staff at the Alexandria Golf and Country Club who were there have said, “That was the best party we have ever seen here!” I know I am biased, but it really was an amazing night. Many, many thanks to Johnny Earthquake at the Moondogs for making our evening so memorable and fun!
Wow, where do I even begin? I made the decision to book this band for our wedding strictly off of reading reviews on The Knot...which I won't lie, made me a little nervous. But let me tell you, they BY FAR exceeded my expectations!! Johnny Eart...
hquake & the Moondogs were the highlight of the reception, and made our wedding night unforgettable. They cranked up the energy on the 1st song, and kept it going until the last. They have an amazing talent of engaging with the crowd & getting everyone on the dance floor. From Johnny wandering through the crowd with his shades on and microphone in hand, to serenading my 84 year old grandmother in the middle of the dance floor, to inviting the wedding party on stage and giving us microphones to sing a special version of "Uptown Funk", I literally can't express how much fun these guys were! People are still asking me where I found them, and I cant tell you how many have told me that they were the BEST & most entertaining band they have ever seen at a wedding. If you are looking for a very fairly priced band who are easy to work with, will engage with the crowd, are FUN and will keep everyone dancing until the end, look no further!! Choosing to have them be a part of our special night was the best wedding decision that I made...I can't thank them enough!
I booked the Moondogs (Johnny was to be out somewhere else for the night) for my daughter's wedding reception, and the band was nothing but fabulous! Completely got everyone involved and enjoying the party. Played for a good long time before th...
eir first break and then rousing dancing during second set. Surprise visit from Johnny Earthquake for the third set and hated to have to see them leave after that. Wonderful band!
Like some other comments about weddings, the groom's family was from Michigan and thought a D.J. would be sufficient, but they were wonderfully surprised that I chose a live band ... and especially this one. Could not get the groom's parents off of the dance floor!
Thanks Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs!
Such a fantastic, fun band!! Awesome selection of music, very interactive with the crowd, high energy, overall the best band you could pick for your wedding or event. Completely made the night for us! We had an amazing time - thank you so much ...

This was our oldest daughter's wedding. First wedding to plan as a family, (meaning having to keep daughter/bride happy and also keep daddy happy). Johnny Earthquake and the Moomdogs was the perfect band for all of us. What a professional and ...
absolutely wonderful job they did. They went way above and beyond our expectations. They added little extras that made the night perfect. They made us (the brides parents) look really good as for what a fun reception we had. It will always be a night to remember for our entire family and now new family. I highly recommend this band and you will not be disappointed!
Being from Natchitoches and growing up listening to Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs, I knew there was no other band I wanted to book when I was planning my wedding. The first thing I did was have a meeting to plan some songs I for sure want...
ed played, and to describe the overall feel I wanted for my wedding. It was a big wedding, so I wanted it to have a giant party feel, with everyone eating, drinking, and dancing! The band more than exceeded my expectations! My husband and I walked out to the LSU fight song (which brought everyone to their feet), and also brought tears to my husbands eyes. The wedding reception itself had EVERYONE dancing, even my 81 year old grandmother! This band also got people involved, having all the groomsmen come up and sing Garth Brooks (which is my husband's favorite), changing into their Saints jerseys for my second line, and had the bridesmaids feeling like Destiny's Child after singing on the stage! Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs were so professional and made my special day so memorable. I couldn't have asked for anything more and strongly recommend them!
We have had the Moondogs at both of our daughters' wedding receptions and they were great! The music was upbeat and everyone was dancing and having a wonderful time. They really know how to get the wedding party involved and the party going. W...
