Have A Blast History

It all started back in 1987… 

Rick Sanford started a music service called A Blast providing customers with live entertainment as a one man band performing at restuarants, clubs and beach bars.

In 1996, The Blast Band was founded with co-founder Kris Tonner because customers were requesting live duo’s, trios and more. We have been serving the southeast ever since and have thousands of happy customers.

In 2018, Rick created some self improvement/educational materials consisting of ebooks, workshops and online coaching services based around the business of music and fun.

In 2019, we gathered together a bunch of our original music compositions and created the World’s Longest Album for our fans to enjoy. We add new songs to this collection still to this day.

In 2020, Rick created a self-paced online workshop called ‘Have A Blast Playing Guitar’ as an educational tool for all guitar players to take advantage of… we also offer this info to all the children we serve at Instruments 4 Kids Charity.

In 2021, we started Instruments 4 Kids Charity as a way of giving back to the community and saying thank you to the community for being so generous to us over the years.

In 2022, we created a few more self-help educational programs including ‘Have A Blast Buying A Home (With No Credit)…  that Rick created for musicians who wish to own a home… and a mindset workshop called Have A Blast Brainwashing Yourself In 30 Days or Less!

In 2023, we expanded our product line by adding a jingle and team building division as well as offering career opportunities in our affiliate program.

We hope you love our products and services… we created them for you and the kids so thanks for Having A Blast!
