August 26, 2026This band was incredible.
I hired them for a private event based off of a friends recommendation. When i contacted Chuck he was very easy to work with. he asked all the right questions even somethings that I didn't even think of. They created a set list just for the event that was perfect, it catered to everyone there at the event. I have to say one of the most professional acts i have ever worked with..... I wont be using anyone else for my events in the future.... and they sounded awesome.
