    • A Wonderful Addition to Our Event

      Keith was an amazing addition to our event. His music was absolutely lovely, and I got so many compliments from our attendees. He played the most beautiful background music at the perfect level. He was extremely professional, arriving early and playing the entire event! He event brought us a microphone to borrow to make some announcements. Overall, I can't recommend him enough for your next event.
