An Artful Evening

Tim, Ben, and Keith were booked for a Spartanburg ArtWalk event at The Johnson Collection at short notice, but they happily agreed to organize a setlist for roughly three hours of music. They were very professional and set up and packed up quickly and carefully. Their friendly demeanor allowed visitors to wander around looking at the art or sit and comfortably enjoy the music.
We were all touched and impressed by Tim's set list, where he paired each artwork in the gallery with a tune from the era. Everyone enjoyed the music thoroughly, but Tim's explanations connecting the art to the music received several appreciative comments from visitors. Thank you!

A big THANKS to Blake, Sarah and Mary for having my jazz trio play for the ArtWalk event. It was a pleasure to work with all three of these professionals. The event was top-notch, and we hope to perform again at TJC Gallery in the future.

Fantastic Performance!!

We had the Tim Hartis Jazz Trio perform for a special event at our senior living community this week and they were absolutely amazing! They made an extra effort to play music from the 1940's era of our event, interacted beautifully with everyone, and were sensitive to the individual needs of our residents. They are incredibly talented, and we will definitely book them again for future performances.

Wonderful Jazz Band!

We booked the Jazz Band Trio for an event and the band was nothing short of phenomenal! If you're looking for a professional group that will make sure you get exactly what you're looking for, then this is the group for you. We booked them for a Valentine's Day event and they came prepared with all the love songs and made sure the sound levels were perfect for the room. Couldn't recommend them enough and we will be booking them again!
