September 7, 2025Great band, great set list, great guys!
We had the Jimi King Trio play at our fundraiser event on short notice, and they were absolutely fantastic! Communication was smooth and professional from start to finish, which made planning so much easier. Their set list was spot-on and created the perfect atmosphere—our attendees loved the music. They brought incredible energy and talent to the afternoon, and I would definitely recommend them for any event.
