Tina and Bernard provided their beautiful music at my mother's surprise 80th Birthday Brunch. Communicating and planning with them was a breeze and they were on-time and professional. I highly recommend them for any of your special events and look forward to working with them again in the future.

I hired Tina and Bernard for several important customer events at a high-end resort I manage. Their music is fantastic, and they are reliable. A bonus to me is that they look great and mingle well with patrons. They are the whole package and I would highly recommend them.

What to expect

We like to show up at least an hour prior to the event. We have an approximately 20 minute setup time and do a short sound check (as the duo - longer with a full drum kit). We typically play 45 minutes with a 15 minute break. MP3 player is set up and played in the background during this time. We're try to be pretty easy, we just need a power outlet! ;)
