Simply Awesome!

Accordionist Jordan and Rubboard player David came out for a surprise serenade at a pre-wedding dinner for a bridal party. They both sang too and were a overall a blast... they even learned and did a cajun version of a song in Spanish as a special request. We had so much fun. Thank you guys for adding a little spice to our celebration!
