March 21, 2022Absolutely delightful!
The lady was dressed in a t-shirt with leggings and tennis shoes (for a wedding?), but they were very nice people and were fantastic musicians! I would absolutely recommend them.

March 19, 2022More Than Just An Irish Band!
We had a St. Patrick's Day fund raising event in Hilton Head Island. We asked Michael to play some Irish tunes interspersed with traditional songs. He said he would "read" the group to see what they liked and we couldn't have asked for more. FANTASTIC JOB!! We also asked him to make sure the music wasn't too loud while we were eating dinner and he respected our request. Michael was very easy to work with and responsive both before and during the event. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Seldom Sober. THANK YOU Michael and Colleen!
