Christine C.
August 7, 2015"Where did you find this band?" all night guests asked as we danced and clapped and grooved to classic r&b, instrumental, and original songs from great musicians, who are approachable, friendly people. They played for hours and really became part of the party. Dragonfly 13 made our celebration memorable as the whole crowd sang along to their rendition of Stevie Wonder's Happy Birthday to Ya near the end of the evening. Thanks you guys
