July 12, 2026Great performer
Tom really helped elevate our event. He genuinely cared about getting it right, took the time to meet with us beforehand, understand our style, and put together a beautiful setlist.
During the evening, he fit the vibe perfectly and got so many compliments from our guests. We were genuinely impressed.
And the bonus: he's basically a mini Ed Sheeran with his looper.

May 19, 2026Great Sounds!
Tom Farley was the consummate professional. From the beginning Tom was easy to work with and eager to communicate about all the things it might take to make our son’s birthday party a success. He was punctual, showed up early and had things ready to go with time to spare.
As far as Tom’s live performance, he didn’t disappoint; allowed the kids and adults alike to get involved, sing along and play percussive instruments! And his willingness to learn a few songs ahead of time was a definite plus!
As far as musicality and artistry, he has my complete endorsement. His ability to sing and play on key especially with songs he was asked to learn in advance went beyond expectation. Good sounds, good tone; an excellent musician in my opinion. I feel he has a strong commitment to his craft. He was also relatively unbothered by all the party-related distractions. His down to earth, unassuming demeanor makes it all the better.
All in all I'm delighted to say that I was completely satisfied with the experience. Very much looking forward to our next event with Tom!

July 11, 2026Beautiful music for my event
I hired Tom to play live music at my speaking event on grief and hope, and he was the perfect fit. He thoughtfully chose songs that matched the tone of the evening and created such a meaningful atmosphere. His music was beautiful, moving, and heartfelt.
Tom is also incredibly kind and easy to work with. Whether he's talking with people one-on-one or performing for a crowd, he has a way of making everyone feel comfortable. I highly recommend him for any event!

July 3, 2026Wonderful and reliable music for wedding
Tom performed at our wedding and we had such a great experience working with him! It was so easy to work with him. He was professional, warm, and responsive in all of our interactions with him. We relied on his experience to help us make the event a success.
We worked together to plan the ceremony logistics and how we thought music could enhance the experience. The song selection was very important to us and he was so happy to accommodate any/all songs we requested and he even offered to sing the walk out song. The wedding took place outside and at Tom's suggestion, we opted to use microphones for the ceremony. We were able to use his equipment during the ceremony which was convenient and also saved us from renting more equipment separately.
On the day of the wedding, he arrived to the venue early and came completely prepared. He setup, tested his equipment, and was ready well before guests arrived. He was totally self-sufficient which was really helpful on a hectic day.
All the songs he performed were really well done. He was very conscious of the flow of the ceremony and intuitively jumped in at just the right moment to help make the transitions seamless. The sound quality was well balanced and the volume was audible without being overpowering. Everyone was able to enjoy the music and hear the speeches comfortably.
Tom was one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding. He made everything easy because he was so prepared and thoughtful about what was needed to put on a great event. He helped bring so much magic to our special day!
