May 23, 2023Bob and his ensemble were not just an addition to the 60th Birthday Bash, they were the main event! The perfect background noise, and focused listening, we are so thankful these guys played our party.
The event was outdoors in a shaded area, which was great for the group. They brought all their own equipment, including the PA and extra cords, which meant we were able to focus on other needs for the party. They were professional, quick to respond, and of course super talented! The party started to wrap up and my mom was able to sit right in front of the band and listen to their last three songs, in total rapture! She's already planning to attend their next show.
If you're looking for easy listening, jazzy tunes, who are easy to work with and a total delight, this is your group!

February 15, 2023We had an evening social that the band played for and the residents loved it! They sang along and a few couples got up and danced. Bob was wonderful to work with and came early to make sure set up and sound was ready and to a volume that the crowd would like.
