Tim Perry’s performance at my husband’s surprise 50th Birthday was spectacular. It will be a day to remember always!!! My friends and family were so impressed with him. They all asked me how I found such a wonderful musician. I reviewed over 15 bands for this party and I chose Tim Perry. He had the most impressive profile I have ever seen for a one-man show. All I can say is Wow ..... I made the right choice for the most fantastic live entertainment ever. Thank you, Tim!

October 12, 2018Tim Perry elevated the party! He was a huge hit....
Tim was easy to work with and so accommodating. His set up and equipment seemed minimal and easy to incorporate....while the music and his interaction with the party made the party a huge hit. He played to the younger crowd on up, there was nothing he couldn't play. And I also think he reads the crowd very well, his volume level was perfect and got everyone involved. I couldn't have asked for more from him. very nice gentleman and so committed to making the party great....I will definitely have him back again!
