September 11, 2018Fine and Mellow really came through on every single aspect of our event and exceeded our expectation! Communication while booking was direct, cordial and simple. Everyone showed up on the dot! No lateness thank God. They were dressed clean cut and all had wonderful personalities and demeanor. They were respectful and more importantly, they really delivered. The music was sweet and smooth jazz and bossa nova. We were a group of senior citizens and we could converse with no problem while enjoying the band. I highly recommend these guys if you're looking for a 5-star event with no problems! Thank you Fine and Mellow!

February 2, 2018I hired this group to play for our daughter's engagement party in our backyard. We went with the duo plus guitar and they were amazing! It was the perfect style and volume for our party and our guests kept commenting on how great they were. From start to finish they were friendly, professional, and easy to work with. We highly recommend them and will definitely be hiring them at our next party!
