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 (112 miles from Bracebridge) Kelly Medio - Private Party
