May 19, 2026Niece's graduation
This was for my niece's graduation. Malcolm asked for details about her which he worked into the song to make it more personal to make it more memorable for her. He was very willing to let me collaborate with him to make sure everyone would be happy, which I really appreciated. I'm on the other side of the country, but thanks to Malcolm's responsiveness, we were able to pull this together in a day and a half!

March 19, 2026Surprise at a grad fair
Malcolm Pulley Music was absolutely wonderful! He arrived right on time and even brought a balloon for my husband, which was such a thoughtful touch. My husband was working a college tabling event on his birthday, and Malcolm made it truly special. The students joined in singing, and it completely made my husband’s day—you could see how much it meant to him. Malcolm is a talented singing guitarist and brought such a fun, uplifting energy to the moment. Highly recommend!

January 20, 2026Perfection for a birthday surprise
Malcolm was simply perfect for the sweetest surprise for my Mothers 81st birthday. He put together an amazing set and surprised her without a hitch - all while working with me out of state to pull it off. Excellent communication and preparation. flawless execution of a surprise without me present. Couldn’t ask for more and worth every red cent.

November 18, 2025Wonderful to work with!
Malcolm came as a duo, Little Birdies, to sink acoustic folk at our themed event. They were extremely professional and even came dressed for the part. We enjoyed working with them and hope to again in the future.
