Photo of Good To Go Good To Go "Perfect for our event. Flexible and engaging We had a wonderful time with Mike and Suzanne celebrating our parents 50th wedding anniversary. They were very responsive, flexible, reasonably priced, and even took some requests for specific songs. They also did a great job interacting with the crowd and even inviting some more of the brave guests to join and sing along for a few songs. Thank you to you both for a wonderful experience. • Rating:   *****   • Reviewer: Kelly Medio • Event Date: July 26th, 2023 • Services Provided: Cover Band" Based in Belleville, Ontario (45 miles from Kingston) Kelly Medio - Private Party Photo of John Amato John Amato "I am a volunteer at Walden and we all enjoyed your show today Thanks so much for entertaining the residents It was terrific.

They were very professional in their approach and made themselves available to mingle with everyone during their breaks. The quality of the music was top notch and they even took a few request on songs that were not in their regular song list and did a GREAT job with it. I would highly recommend this group for your entertainment pleasure." Based in Providence, Rhode Island, United States (305 miles from Kingston) Arthur Bryant - Professional Venue Bookings
