"I loved working with Dan and the crew. They showed up super early to make sure they had the exact location. Sound check was done before guests started arriving and best of all, they were totally self efficient which is key for planners. Their music performance was impeccable and so well sorted out. Totally took charge and connected on music selection.  Would highly recommend working with this amazing team over and over again."

Thoughts from Our Clients:

"I recently worked with Dan and his musicians for a corporate event and we recommend them as a welcome addition to any gathering.  They were punctual and talented.  They read the room perfectly in their choice of songs to play.  Everyone was able to enjoy the live music, even while having conversations with out being drowned out by it.  Dan was pleasant and wonderful to work with and I look forward to the opportunity to do so again!"
