So many great memories! Once I was invited on stage for their version of 12 Days of Christmas. Hilarious!

Virgil A. Gabriel 

The medley of all their songs makes me misty-eyed… memories of the beautiful past…

Candace Kapolka O’Shea

It’s hard to pick a favorite part it is fantastic from beginning to end and I love the camera song I have so many pictures over the years and there are so many great memories. In Reno Nevada they did a A show and recorded that on a CD I was listening to the CD and for the camera song Tony said don’t be shy come on up to the audience and I ran up and he said she’s not shy and Donovan said you told her not to be and then Donovan said where are your shoes which I took off to go up the steps. When I listen to that CD and hear that part it takes me back to the wonderful times we had all over in Reno Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah and Indiana… so many great shows. I love those guys

Jana Auer Healey

I love that magic moment when the introduction begins, the sound of “One Voice, Singing In The Darkness”, the appearance that brings smiles, all the songs in between, and the magical finish when my heart is full.

Pam Hartmann 

We saw them on our Anniversary.. just a wonderful show.. we requested More because it was our wedding song… they sang it to us… such a great memory.❤️❤️

Ebbie Ollice

Even after a half a century of performing and pleasing audiences all over the world The Lettermen still captivate audiences of all ages with their smooth harmony and individual talent and charisma….2020 Valentine’s schedule of two sold out performances on the Feb 13th and 14th at Hot Springs Village, AR for the Village Concerts Association was a testimony to their professionalism and universal appeal as they signed autographs and took pictures with their fans until all were done.  Thank you all for a night to remember with some really nice folks!!

Donnie Blystone – Pastor at Table of Grace UMC

Cathy McGinnis

Table of Grace Church was recently honored to host the Lettermen in Erie, PA for a benefit concert.  When we heard the Monday prior to our show that Tony Butala was stepping back and would not be preforming during the entire show, we admittingly were a little nervous.  After all of the years Tony had devoted to The Lettermen, would the show lose something so important to the Lettermen legacy.  Some of us, having been Lettermen fans for years had been through previous changes in members, but the one constant had always been Tony.

However, when the lights went down, and the band started to play, and the wonderful Lettermen harmonies began, all our concerns disappeared.  The Lettermen sound was there.  Donovan and Bobby of course delivered their usual wonderful performances.  The newest member Rob Gulack was amazing.  His voice blended perfectly with Donovan and Bobby, and his solo numbers were jaw dropping.  Tony did a great job picking someone who will definitely help carry on the legacy of The Lettermen.

It’s been several weeks since the show in Erie and we continue to hear wonderful reviews of the show and people asking when they will be back.

Thank you to the entire Lettermen Family for the wonderful show, and it is great to know that even with this change, the harmonies and the legend of the Lettermen will continue for a long time!

Beverly Chesnut

My husband and I saw your group “The Letterman” in 2017. It was one of the best performances either of us has seen in concert, and we have seen many great performers. The performance was so upbeat, fun and we loved every song that the wonderful Lettermen sang. The only problem was, we didn’t want the show to end! The songs brought back great memories of an era that we were so fortunate to have been in, and one we will never forget! We love “The Letterman”, and hope to see your fantastic show again!

Nancy Helms Childress

What a voice! We’ve seen the Lettermen 3 times, the most recent in January, and they knock it out of the park every time! One of my all-time favorites! ❤️

Emily Preece

You did something right to have the ‘staying power’ that you have enjoyed.  I ‘grew-up’ with your melodious tones, and always enjoy the flood of memories that they bring back to me. I will request your songs as I lay on my deathbed… Thank you for making your kind of music!…..

Sara Novak ~ Triangle Talent

We loved working with The Lettermen once again!  They brought a fun, memory packed show to the Florida Strawberry Festival.  Our patrons had a wonderful time!  We look forward to working with them again in the future.

‎Clara Hawthorne

OOOH WOW, SUCH A FANTASTIC CONCERT!! THANK YOU “LETTERMEN” FOR SUCH AN AWESOME AND MEMORABLE EVENING, IT WAS BEYOND ENJOYABLE!!

IT ABSOLUTELY WAS ONE OF OUR MOST MEMORABLE EVENINGS AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!! THANK YOU, AGAIN AND CAN’T WAIT UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!!!! 

Vicki Hendrick Copeland‎ 

Y’all were awesome in Forsyth GA tonight. We sure did enjoy the Show.

Marsha Creter

Bill Kaferle

I will say this once again…in all the concerts my wife and I have been to over the last 50 years no band or single entertainer has ever been as professional and personable as the Letterman….Every song as if it is the first time ever, every handshake, every hello and every smile is genuine….we have seen them in theaters indoor and outdoor, in high schools and Masonic Temples, in convention centers and in arenas and nothing ever changes…even years ago in the pouring rain outdoors in Chesaning, Michigan they came out to the crowd to sing and shake hands and there was no cover over our heads….thx again to Tony and all the guys who have performed as Lettermen…

Ellen D Chan

The Lettermen performed a fabulous show at the Annual Gala of the Hong Kong Association of Northern California on January 26, 2019 at the iconic Fairmont Hotel atop Nob Hill, San Francisco. Besides their usual love songs and Broadway tunes, they also included their Chinese song “Love is Gone” which has original English lyrics composed by Tony Butala. The 90 minute non stop show left many wanting more of their time less music.

Sylvia Wilmer Bergstrom Huddleston

We were on the Oldies concert cruise last year with the Lettermen!!! Cannot wait to see them again……

Marie Belanger

Memories! . What a wonderful concert this was.. SO thrilling to see you again after all these years. Niagara Falls, Fallsview, February 2016 (The last time was in Toronto, at the Royal York Hotel Imperial Room, early ’80s)

Marianne Hunt

Wonderful show at the Turning Stone Casino in Vernon NY on February 2nd. Great show, great showmen. Thanks for the memories. Looking forward to your next visit!

Sue Nemier

Purchased the new CD at the show in Verona, NY this past Saturday night – had to play it on the way home and again the next day- love it!!! The show was awesome and your interaction with the audience was fantastic! Until we meet again…

Kenneth Fortner

My wife and I saw your show Thursday afternoon at Newberry SC. Great show. Donovan said how glad he was to be in SC with the great weather and warm temps. Between now and Monday the mountains of SC are going to get about 2 ft of snow and the upstate, Greenville, Spartenburg about 6 inches, with highs in the low 30s. You got out of here just in time. Can’t wait to see your show next year.

Bobby Smith

Went to the Lettermen concert at the Newberry Opera House this afternoon. What a great a show!! They sang the great old Christmas songs. If you get a chance go see them.

Bill Kaferle

Judy Resch

Once again, The Lettermen gave everyone a wonderful evening this past Thursday at The Andy Williams Theater in Branson! We were there with our son and we totally enjoyed our evening. We have seen them three times last year and enjoyed every show. The Lettermen put such warmth into each performance which makes the audience feel special if only for an evening. The way they take the time to meet their audience after the show is very thoughtful. Most entertainers do not do this and if they do come out to meet and take pictures they seem rushed and impersonal. This can not be said of The Lettermen. They take the time to be very pleasant to their audience which means a lot. The pictures we were able to take let us bring home many memories of a wonderful evening! Also, the CD’s we purchased gives us the opportunity to listen to them at home and helps reminds us of our evening with The Lettermen. We hope they continue to perform for many years. We are hoping to see them again in the future.

Douglas L. Johnson

What a great afternoon. Two Hours+ of music topped with “Proud to be an American” followed by “I believe.” All this after favorite from days gone by. And all without any mud-slinging nor accusations of lies and corruptions. Thank you, gentlemen.

Douglas L. Voet

We had the distinct pleasure of welcoming The Lettermen and crew into our house, the Uptown Theater, Grand Prairie yesterday. What an absolute pleasure!

Extraordinary talent, showmen and human beings…perfect from the moment they hit Texas dirt…they will be coming back next year…keep making memories boys.

Peg & Doug MacKay

In Branson with my husband (he introduced himself to Tony after the show) and saw you live – first time in my 70 yrs on the planet. Wanted to thank you for saving my life in 1967 – the specific line “And I thank God I’m alive,” – was first thing I heard coming out of major surgery – was not responding well to efforts to bring me out of recovery till someone turned on your tunes – so seeing you live makes me believe I can now live to 100+! You are so professional yet personal & I love how you interact with your audience – thank you for your contribution to helping the species evolve to the next highest level – we’ll be back to see you again.

Mary Ann J

These men never forget those who have served on our behalf. They include them in every performance they have.

It might be a better world if all performers did the same.

Thank You guys for your talents.
