Good Co
"We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!"
Jazz Hutch & Friends
"A nice voice and a very understated and carefree delivery. Not enough cats can just Fred Astaire their way through a song."
Vintage Jazz & 70s Solo Singer
"She was great, my residents absolutely loved her and we will be having her back!"
Ken Weiner | Jazz 🎷
"Ken and his trio were excellent. Their playing really helped make the night. Highly recommended!"
Elite Jazz Band
"I had an incredible experience! I had the opportunity to have Igor and Sergei play the double bass and piano for my proposal, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. We spoke over Zoom and on the phone to go over the details, and they truly understood my vision. They even checked out some of the songs I wanted to include. They arrived on time and delivered an unforgettable performance. I will definitely hire them again for future events and highly recommend them"
Dan Olivo - Jazz, Swing, Big Band & Pop
"Dan and his band was amazing
I threw my wife a surprise 10 year cancer remission party and found Dan Olivo on GigSalad. Soon as I talked to him I knew he was the right person for this special event. He definitely provided a memorable night and was the highlight of the party. I would recommend him without any reservations and can't wait to see him perform again."
