October 17, 2015It was such a pleasure welcoming Laura Joy and Dave to play at the surprise party I threw for my parents. They communicated wonderfully before the event and even sent a sweet follow up note after the party. The day was stressful with coordinating and planning the party but the bright spot was the wonderful entertainment Laura Joy and Dave provided and their perfect punctuality and organization. My guests loved them and several even asked for their card before they left. They were the perfect addition to a wonderful night and I'm so appreciative for their flexibility, adaptability and professionalism.

September 28, 2015Laura was a five star booking in all dimensions. She not only has a versatile voice, but is able to learn new songs at a quick pace. She picked up two originally written songs with minimal direction all in matter of hours. The high level of talent is also combined with her reliable communication -- all replies made within hours sometimes minutes of the original message. Book Laura if you are looking for a great artist and even better person. You won't regret it.
