I highly recommend Gail Edwards!! I am a professional musician and music contractor. I hired Gail to play music for me for a Holiday event. She was outstanding both as a versatile musician playing Classical & Contemporary styles and as a polished professional. She played solo & with harp. She had an audience of varied ages and backgrounds. She is definitely an accomplished musician, she was able to play very showy and impressive arrangements that made it very entertaining for the sophisticated listener. I really appreciated how she made the guests feel special by playing their requests. I noticed that she has a special way of always making them smile and feel important! That's worth Gold!! She was very easy to work with and professional in every way, so I'm hiring her again this week!
