We had a small rooftop concert and Mikael was awesome. Great songs that everyone loved, and was very engaged with the audience. He is also incredibly easy to work with and provided everything he needed. We are excited to have him back!

Chelise, Thank you so much for the lovely review. I had a lot of fun. Thank you for having me. Hope to see you again soon!!
Mikael was very professional and accommodating! We had a change in our venues, from indoor with electricity to completely outdoors with no electricity on a chilly evening. He was able to learn my favorite song and then played during the evening beautifully. We cannot thank him enough and would highly recommend him!

Mikael and his band played at our Volunteer and Foster Appreciation Dinner last night, and Wow! I got so many compliments. They have such wonderful sound and were so fun and easy to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I want to thank them for all their support at our event! Our fosters and volunteers were so impressed! We will definitely be working with them again on future events. Do yourself a favor and hire them for your next event, you won't be disappointed!

Bucket of Witches
Mikael played our private event two weeks ago and we're still talking about it now because of what a great time we had! He was an integral part of making our cocktail party a huge success. He was on-time for set-up, great to work with and very, very accommodating. For the small venue we were in, it was an excellent choice and really enhanced the atmosphere (did not overpower the party in any way, but was certainly a focal point later in the evening). We had such a great vibe going that we requested he stay for over an hour past our contracted time (with compensation, of course) and Mikael was more than willing to stay. He made it a point to interact with our group and tolerated our exuberance that resulted from everyone having such a great time. We would 100% recommend him and plan to hire him again for next year!

Mikael was quick to respond to emails, on time, professional and just fun!

Our guests are still thanking us and telling us how amazing the night was. As the event planner, Mikael made me look good!!!
We will be booking him next year, and for more hours!

Mikael was so amazing! He is a very talented musician that was absolutely perfect for my wedding ceremony and reception music and I am so glad I found him! It was exactly what I wanted at my outdoor cabin venue and a lot of my guests commented on how great he was! He was easy to get in touch with and fulfilled my request of playing my song for the ceremony! Thank you so much Mikael!

One Man Band, Singer/Songwriter, Wedding Singer, Singing Guitarist
We had a garage party up Emigration Canyon with Sand Volleyball, Darts, Ping Pong and merriment going on with Michael playing and singing, people playing activities and a Food Truck making for a kind of three ring circus of good times. The weather was perfect, Michael was on time and on key. Beautiful playing volleyball, drinking beer and listening to Michael play and sing. Great selection of 1960 plus rock and roll.
Thanks again,
Andy

Mikael was everything I hoped for! I hired him to play at my wedding reception at the Hotel Park City. He did an amazing job adapting to the environment whether it was playing through dinner or for dancing afterwards. He asked ahead of time if I had any special songs I needed him to learn but by chance he knew everything I needed him to! All of my guests were impressed and thought he was perfect! Would definitely recommend him to anyone and would use him again for any special event!
