Michael took part during my husband's celebration of life service by singing 2 songs. His voice is incredible & he's every bit as talented when it comes to playing the guitar. I've received several compliments about his performance & would highly recommend him for any event you might be planning.

October 13, 2021Beautiful music
Michael Cash is a complete professional. He reached out several times before the event asking if there was anything I needed or just to check in.
I sent a list of songs that we wanted played and he took the time to learn them and to ask follow up questions.
Everyone at the ceremony complimented me on the music!
