July 10, 2026Amazing Music, Amazing Energy, Amazing Experience!
He was absolutely amazing and created such an incredible atmosphere for our wedding! His live music during the ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful, and he kept the energy going all night by getting everyone out on the dance floor. He truly made our celebration so much fun and unforgettable.
I would hire him a hundred times over without hesitation. Even three weeks after our wedding, we’re still getting compliments from our guests about how fantastic he was. If you’re looking for someone who will elevate your event and keep everyone entertained, I can’t recommend him enough!

June 9, 2026Great Musicians!
Nick and Tom came out to a neighborhood event that I helped organize. Their performance was just what we needed - a fun, laid back, family-friendly set that worked for all ages. The community loved their sound and their vibe and it made a lasting impression. I highly recommend Nick and Tom and would not hesitate to book them again in the future!

What to expect
If an audience came to see me, they can expect to see a duo (acoustic guitar/singer and violin). The songs would be a mix of original tunes, covers, and mashups. Listeners would hear covers from the 70's through the early 2000's. The style would be a mix of blues, folk, and rock. They would hear a lot of stories and jokes between songs.
