Professional band that had an easy contracting process, showed up on time and most importantly, played fantastic soul/r&b/motown music. Everyone was dancing and grooving! I'll book again for my next rooftop party!
Response from Chez Butter:
Thanks, Darien! We'd love to play again!
Chez Butter rocked the house at our Fundraising party. I have to say they exceeded my expectations. The music was phenomenal!! They were punctual and professional. The entire evening was smooth as silk. I would highly recommend this amazing to anyone. A heart felt thanks from the Animal Care League for making our night a success!!
