The Wanderers
"We first enjoyed listening to The Wanderers during the pandemic. Since then, we’ve followed them to Palo Alto, Campbell, and San Pedro Square. Their song list appeals to all ages. They played at our son’s wedding in Jamestown and the music was awesome!! The dance floor never slowed down, and we all had a blast! We can’t thank them enough for making our special day even more special."
