New Year’s Eve is a busy night. It was really great to have a piano player that arrived on time, set up without help, had no questions through the night and left on time. Perfect

We highly recommend working with the Apollo Trio. They were responsive in the planning and great on-site. I hired them for my boss's Adult Halloween Party, they added the perfect ambiance. We'll book them again!

The Apollo Trio was excellent to work with from start to finish. We had one very brief conversation in the beginning and the band knew exactly the vibe we were going for. All of our guests enjoyed the entertainment. In Vegas, they will always be our first call!

Response from The Apollo Trio:
We had a blast, thanks so much for having us at such a great event!
The Apollo Trio provided background music at a corporate cocktail party in Seattle for over 500 international clients and friends of our firm. They struck that perfect balance - a great jazz listening experience but not overpowering so attendees could still converse with ease. Wonderful musicians ... lots of compliments from guests. Easy and professional to work with from booking through performance.

The Apollo Trio played at my Jazzy 50th Birthday Party. I couldn't have asked for anything more. They came early to set up - and worked with me beforehand to make sure they had just the right spot. Provided me with an expansive song list - and let me pick my favorites. And to top things off they backed me up while I sang a surprise Nina Simon tune for my guests. They made the party glamorous and chic! Thank you, Apollo Trio. Please come play for us again!!!
