August 1, 2026Saw them for the first time at Ovivis restaurant. Lead singers had the crowd engaged and the instruments were top notch. It was a fun evening and I will definitely be returning whenever they come back to perform again.

January 30, 2026Great night out. I was there with my wife and really enjoyed the band. They played mostly classics with some newer songs mixed in. The classics definitely brought back some nostalgia. They kept it fun and interesting with a great variety of music. Would happily see them again.
