Fabulous Music for our Grand Opening

Jake was the nicest guy ever! He arrived early to set up and sang and played acoustic guitar
so well you can tell he is a pro! Everyone enjoyed him so much. We will definitely be calling on Jake in the future. He plays a variety of music. Classics done well and some of his own songs that I really loved!!
Our tasting room is very relaxing and layed back. Jake fit in perfectly and amped our night up with his
presence. Thanks Jake

A Must Hire and Must See!

Thank you Jake and your trio band! You completely made our company retirement party! Jake and his trio band were wonderful musicians who never missed a beat! They arrived early, they were professional, very low maintenance and polite. We could not have asked to work with better people and truly enjoyed the vibe they created. Check Jake out on Spotify! I highly recommend "Don't slow down" and "honest woman" I really hope we can enjoy them again at another event! These musicians were the total package!

5 Stars!!

Jake and his band played at a couples wedding shower at our home. They arrived early and had everything set up before the party started. They played a great mix of music that everyone at the party enjoyed. Will definitely be hiring Jake and his band for future events.
