Jake did an outstanding job. All guest 120+ guests had nothing but good things to say about his performance. Thanks Jake. The Turners
We had a great time. Jake was here almost an hour early to set up, etc. Jake has a wide variety of songs, and took several requests, including a new song for him, Sweet Caroline, which for everyone singing with him. Jake was very personal, and he stayed with us for awhile after just to hang out some, which we were happy about. Thank you Jake. Stephen
We had a wonderful time with Jake (and friend Dylan). They blew the socks off our family for our outdoor event in Wrightsville Beach. Highly recommended and look forward to booking you again!
Jake took the party to a new level. Beautiful voice, great mix of songs, and excellent guitar playing!
Response from Jake Newman:
Thanks so much for the review and for the opportunity! It was a blast.
We hired Jake for a house party. He came early to set up and was very prepared. What a talented young man! Our guests totally enjoyed him and we were very pleased with the variety of music that he played for us. We definitely would hire him again. Thanks for a fun evening, Jake!
The band was awesome! Great sound, good guys, and they are definitely going places. If you haven't heard them, you are missing out! We own a small bicycle shop in Cocoa Beach, FL, and we hired them to play for Christmas for our customers. People loved them so much, that they were lined up across the street just to hear them. Hire them and you won't be disappointed! We fully intend to have them back. Thank you so much for being a part of our Holiday.
Jake was great!! He is easy to work with, arrived on time, and is an amazing musician!! I would definitely use Jake again!!
What a delightful young man! So talented and gifted! Jake is a incredible performer, we thoroughly enjoyed his show!
