Community Event•Reviewed on July 17, 2026•From Hillsboro, OR
Grog and the band were very communicative, professional and ready to bring great music that our senior living residents knew well and danced to. A very fun evening of music and raised spirits. We cannot wait to invite them here again.

Thank you, Stephanie! We had a great time playing for your community, and it was a pleasure working with you. We're so glad everyone enjoyed the music and danced the night away. Look forward to the next one!

I recently hired Exit 52 to play at my company's party, and I was absolutely blown away by their performance and how great they are to work with, very responsive to my requests and accommodated all of my needs.
Exit 52 arrived early and set up on a hot summer day. They were professional and courteous. They played a wide variety of popular songs. Guests were dancing and singing along, and everyone was having a great time.
I would highly recommend Exit 52 to anyone for their next event. They are talented, professional, and easy to work with. They will definitely make your event a success!

I was very impressed by the musicianship and I liked that Grog had a wireless vocal and guitar system! He interacted with the audience on the dance floor and he helped energize everyone during the whole performance.
They showed up on time, were very professional, great music performed, and they interacted with anyone that approched them. They added to the fun! I'd hire them again! Thanks Grog and the rest of the band!!

Grog stepped up to the plate when Luepke Center needed a band with a one-man show = amazing performance that energized the audience - HUGE HIT - talented singer and guitarist -- music a mix of Classic Rock,
Country Blues, and even Frank Sinatra - Very professional - had the seniors up and dancing - quite a treat for them I would have him perform anytime he is free to do so. Great Halloween Bash - pictures are being posted on the different web sites and also at the Luepke Senior Center - alll in all a great time by all Evelyn Hallett

Grog performed as a 1-man show at our corporate outing. He was professional and accommodating and patient even with me changing my mind multiple times on venue and play time. He was SO fun to have as a musician. We requested upbeat rock/light rock and that’s exactly what we got! Our group was singing and dancing along with him. It is beautiful to see music unite people and he gave that to our group. You can see, hear, and feel Grog’s passion for his craft as a musician. Great on guitar and vocals. He’s very chill and I can’t wait to have him back to perform for us again.

The band arrived early enough to be set up and ready to go at the time to play. They had a very diverse set and had music for everybody and had a wonderful attitude.

Exit 52 provided great entertainment for a birthday party held at our home!
We needed a band at the last minute and they were able to accommodate our date and time.
Larry was great to work with and easy to communicate with.
The guests at the party all commented on how fun the band was!
They did not disappoint!

THANK YOU!

Graduation Party•Reviewed on May 10, 2015•From Sunnyvale, CA
It was a nice band. From the beginning I expressed some concerns about them for this kind of party, since I am dealing with 50% to 60% of teens. But, I am pleasantly surprised when my sons told me that they knew all those songs they played. Though I booked for 3 hours, my program started little late and hence they were able to play for about one and half hours, Nevertheless, it still made a huge difference in my guests and I was told they enjoyed the band. I hope the best to them.

When I moved to the Pacific Northwest four years ago and took complete ownership of this complex Bash account, I realized that navigating this platform takes time. These older, less-than-five-star reviews are only being addressed now because of a better understanding of the Bash platform interface.
Per the platform's rules, past reviews from the original California version of Exit 52 cannot be removed. However, looking at the text of this specific review, the words were entirely positive, making the 3-star rating a mismatch for the actual experience—especially since the client noted the shortened performance time was simply due to the event's own schedule running behind.
Since taking total control of the Exit 52 brand and account four years ago, the band has received nothing but 5-star reviews, maintaining a flawless standard of excellence across the Pacific Northwest.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 16, 2015•From Placerville, CA
It has taken me a few weeks to write this because I really just don't know what to say, overall I was very pleased with the performance of the band, the music was great they kept all my guest entertained how ever I feel that if they had started on time rather then an hour late the guest would have been able to enjoy the music longer before leaving. This happened after I expressed my concerns about a band member booking another gig three hours away on the same day, I took his word for it when he guaranteed me he knew what he was doing and would be here on time, I was disappointed when he did not come through.Band members where great people and a pleasure to work with

This review is 11 years old. Moving to the Pacific Northwest four years ago, I took ownership of this complex Bash account and just realized this went unanswered. Per platform rules, I can't remove it, but I want to address it because things have completely transformed.
I thank you for the kind words and love that you enjoyed our music. Since the only issue was starting late, I apologize. As the founding guitarist then, I didn't handle logistics; our drummer got stuck in traffic leaving a baseball game at the Oakland Coliseum, which delayed us and cut into your guests' time.
Your feedback hit home. In the PNW, I took total control of the Exit 52 brand and built a new, professional lineup. I only play with Larry now for legacy Bay Area shows. Under my leadership, we maintain a flawless 5-star rating because punctuality is our strict baseline.
