RPM made our evening so special!!!

RPM was a great pleasure to work with! We had a trio, saxophone, drummer and bass player…they were all so talented and extremely professional. Our guests loved being able to sit and enjoy their music and also made for wonderful background music. We will definitely be having them back at our next party!

Hired as: Jazz Band

R.P.M. 1000%

We just used R.P.M. for our 20th Anniversary Gala and they were a big hit! The theme was The Roaring 20's and they nailed it. Great music, great vibe and great people. I had many people asking for their cards, including the venue event manager which says a lot! Check them out, you won't be sorry and your guests will love them!
