Great performance and an even better person!

We had the pleasure of working with Sonia and her band for our music series and not only was I impressed with the quality of music, the upbeat performance and overall quality of the music, I was also impressed by how upbeat and professional Sonia was. She has great communication skills and is very flexible which is music appreciated from our end. Overall, we were very satisfied with Sonia's performance and look forward to working with her again with the opportunity arises
