March 16, 2026We were a small family group, celebrating my husband’s 85th birthday. He’s a huge fan of ‘60s and ‘70s music, and the band was a wonderful surprise for him. David and crew arrived on time, set up quickly, and were ready to play before he even realized they were here. They covered many of his favorite songs, Beatles, Doors, Queen, and transformed the party into something very special.
