Absolutely wonderful

We had an amazing concert and the percussion show with the handpan was very unique, meditative, and inspiring-exactly what I asked for-arrived on time and were extremely professional and friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a high quality music at their concert. Thank you, Soul Graffiti!

Made my day easy

they just played my wedding in Tahoe City and it was amazing! Justin even stepped in as an event planner since ours was not doing her job. They did a great job understanding our needs and educating us on what would make the event run smooth. I felt like we got a TON of value with the gear and experience they bring.. NOT to mention they are phenomenal musicians!

A Very Nice Time

I had hired a guitarist, Justin, from Soul Graffiti months ahead of time to play for my husband's 70th birthday. Four days before the event he called and said he had COIVD and could not play the event. Totally understandable! Justin said he was working to find a replacement and would let me know who he recommended. He called back and recommended Paul Martin Sounder and I agreed to have Paul play instead. I was a little apprehensive because I didn't have a demo tape for Paul, but we were not disappointed. Paul is an excellent guitarist and very personable. He played Spanish guitar music in the background while my guests mingled and chatted. It set a very nice atmosphere and made the party festive without drowning out conversation. During his breaks he ran a Spotify playlist to continue the background music so we were never without lovely Latin sounds. Everyone said they really enjoyed the music!

All the best,

There are not enough words that can describe how amazing Honey of the Heart & Soul Graffiti are to work with. We hired them to perform at a large corporate event recently and they were phenomenal. Very professional as well as truly gifted in their musical artistrys. We have already connected for another event coming up and excited to see what they bring to the stage!!

Heartfelt, Soulful & Rockin!

Soul Graffiti performed at my friend’s 60th birthday party. They played all of the soulful classics and brought guests to the dancefloor that I had never seen dancing in my life.
I have since seen them play at a local venue and was brought to tears when the lead singer sang an Aretha Franklin song with such sincerity and conviction.
Their performances are heartfelt, soulful and rockin and the members of the band are truly lovely individuals. If you are looking for a touching musical performance by a rockin band, I very highly recommend this band.

Great show and a great attitude

Soul Graffiti put together a band for an event at Mammoth Resort and really showed everyone a great time. They provided three distinct acts for the event: Cello Joe (a solo performer), DJ CJ (a DJ), and The Heather Normandale Band (a six piece band). They're super friendly and easy to work with and each act sounded great.

These guys rock on so many levels. I have been a part of many events with them, and witnessed them at others. From solo acoustic acts to full blown live band settings with DJ and live sound. They can do what you need.

Soul Graffiti - Very Professional!

Justin and his crew arrived on time and set up quickly. They had everything ready for the performances to play the music on cue, and were so easy to work with. We will be working more with them in post production, so can't wait to see the video that was captured for our event.

Best Production Company in Town

We've worked with Soul Graffiti for years and they're awesome. Not only can they provide everything from stages to lighting to sound, they also have a huge community of musicians on call to tap into for any kind of show. They've been our stalwart partners on a number of gigs and helped round out our shows with some awesome talent.

Good private party musician

The guitarist was punctual and non-intrusive. He set himself up quickly and was ready to play on time as promised. Making arrangements with Justin was very easy and he was great to work with.
