June 14, 2026This was my first time experiencing something like this and was my first ever film I ever did. Lonnie was patient with me and did an amazing job! Communicate 10/10 and gave me some helpful advice I could use in the future. Thank you Lonnie for everything you did!

Gary is an absolute pleasure to work with! He is highly professional, easy going, and well organized. His book, "Cultivate Positive Culture: 10 Actions to Faithful Living" is a great read and motivational. I feel forever changed by meeting him and working on his his video series. I'd love to collaborate with him again in the future.

April 11, 2024Lonnie made a fantastic video for our music duo--it's better than I was hoping for and really showcased our sound and style. He has a great eye for shots and is wonderful at video editing. We are VERY HAPPY with Lonnie's work!!!

Talented and professional! These folks are a class act and definitely worth watching live. This duo packs the punch of a full band and have a robust sound, which is quite surprising to see live. Plus, both are multi-instrumentalists with a lot of creativity up their sleeves. Hear your favorite songs sung by the two. They have a large catalog of music in many genres. Surely, you'll hear all your favorites. Had the pleasure of working for them briefly and enjoyed my time immensely. Looking forward to seeing them live again in the near future. If you're in the market for hiring a band, look no further than the Midwest Mixtape Duo!

October 16, 2023Since 2014 and ongoing, I've had the pleasure of working with Lonnie on several projects (for example, commercials, movies, short films, documentaries, corporate video, music videos, weddings, concerts, parties, and other events). He is multi-talented and goes above and beyond my expectations every time. I look forward to continuing to contract him for work. My favorite film project I've tasked him with is for the movie The Best Day of Your Life, starting in 2020 and wrapping up early 2023. This was a 2-yr weekend film collaboration. This shows his commitment to his craft and ensuring client satisfaction. Finding someone with that kind of go-to is rare!
