April 28, 2019Andrew and Rachel’s knowledge and enthusiasm add the extra spark to our annual school event. Their passion to share music, culture and history with kids is why we keep hiring them.
Thank you!

Thank you so much, Meredith! We had such a wonderful time! You put on an amazing and moving event and we are humbled to be a part of giving such an important gift to the beautiful children at St Vincent's. Each year tops the last (and that's saying a lot!) - we loved singing and dancing to Polish music this year. Rachael and Honor enjoyed making their beautiful costumees - we're looking forward to next year!

March 26, 2019I can't express how amazed and impressed we were with Andrew, his talents and dependability! He went way beyond our expectations and we would hire him again! He worked with us to plan and prepare a song list of German music for my special 60th party, and he was on the spot talented to play other music we had planned. He seemed to be having fun as well. He came early, stayed late. Couldn't be more Pleased! Thank you, Andrew...you will do well. We will be passing the word!

March 26, 2019I couldn't be more pleased! I wanted a German band for my special 60th BD party and found the best accordion player in the area to make that happen. Andrew came through in so many ways! He worked with me on time and price...he met me and organized and prepared music I requested, he arrived early and stayed late And he seemed to enjoy playing for my family band! So flexible and fun....thanks for making this happen. I will be spreading the word and maybe hiring him again in the future. Super recommend him. Thank You!

August 27, 2018Dade County Library had HeartWinds World of Music for their Summer Reading Program. We had children ages 7-14. However, that didn't stop many others from joining us to see what all the excitement was about. The participants enjoyed hearing music from around the world and seeing the many instruments that they brought. Although the participants were at first reluctant to participate, you could see big smiles as they danced with Heartwinds. Many of the participants marked Heartwinds as their favorite entertainers during the whole summer reading program. Thanks for bringing different cultures to our small little town.

Thank you so very much, Lanita! We had a wonderful time sharing Polynesian, Native American, Jewish, Chinese, Cuban, and Mexican music, instruments, and dance with you! We'd love to see you again next summer.

May 24, 2018Andrew and Donny were amazing! Highly recommended for any bar mitzvah party, especially where it isn't feasible to have a larger band. These two men played and emceed and entertained as well as your average group of four or more musicians.

Thank you so much Noah! A great complement coming from a fine musician such as yourself, and playing to an audience of fine musicians. We had a wonderful time and loved watching everyone dancing and parading around with the bar mitzvah in the chair - a true display of pride and strength!
