Amazing!!

Chris did a great job with my company event at The Pemberton (Black Flamingo). He communicated swiftly, answered all my questions, and made me feel at ease booking him for my event. He showed up on time, worked well alongside our event coordinator at the venue and even agreed to play a little longer than was booked as everyone was having a great time. True professional and I will be contacting him again should I need entertainment in PHX. Great job, Chris!

Chris Rocked country party

Chris was awesome. We had a country themed party. About 80 people. He played just the right volume to hear but also to talk to friends. He was easy and self sufficient.

Exceeded Our Expectations!

We were looking for music for an outdoor client appreciation event with a variety of music from classic Rock to 80's, 90's and Country. Chris did an excellent job! Not only did he sound great, but he was very professional. He communicated very well leading up to the day of the event, arrived on time and was setup and ready to go with background music in place until it was time for him to get started. He was dressed perfectly for the occasion and we received many compliments on the music. We will definitely keep Chris in mind for future events and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thank you Chris!
