50th birthday party

OMG! I can not say enough great things about Brett! He sang for my best friends birthday party and was amazing. His music selection was great; I can’t imagine being able to sing, play, and entertain to the variety of music he performed. Our group was dancing amd singing like a group teenagers. He was great with responding to questions, flexible, as we had to change the location, and very accommodating when a guest asked he he would play longer then I had reserved him for. He was even kind enough to let guests sing along with him on our stage. I could go on and on! Friends kept asking, “where did you find him?” Brett made my friends birthday amazing, he was by far the best part of the party!

Friday 13th Wedding!

Brett was amazing! He sang for our wedding. Through our entire wedding reception I got almost as many compliments on his performance as I did my wedding dress! Everyone loved him and has only good things to say. He read the crowd well. Even when the a/c went out at our venue he powered through and was the highlight of the reception. He would be our first choice for any future events and we can't thank him enough for making our day as easy and enjoyable as possible!

Seniors loved him!

Brett was awesome. He performed a variety of songs, had a great personality, and interacted with the audience. He was there early and had a small but loud set up which is ideal. We'll definitely have him back!
