Solitary Harmonies by Doug Parsons "Doug has provided music for annual event the past 2 years and will perform for our up coming event. He is a crowd favorite . You feel like you're listening to a full band. People sing along and dance." Based in Chesapeake, Virginia (17 miles from Virginia Beach) 2nd October 2026 Don Brewer - Good Neighbor Festival, Chesapeake Va.

Jay Armsworthy & Eastern Tradition "Fantastic! Perfect addition to a milestone party! Jay Armsworthy & Eastern Tradition were the highlight of my husband’s 50th birthday celebration! Mr. Armsworthy is a complete gentleman and was recently awarded the 2019 Maryland Traditions Heritage Award. We were equally impressed to discover Mr. Armsworthy hosts a weekly radio show, Bluegrass By the Bay. The band is the real deal! Communication and logistics for our event were seamless, and their talent, musicianship, and harmonies - a gift. Our diverse crowd didn’t want the set to end. Thanks for a great evening!!" Based in California, Maryland (104 miles from Virginia Beach) Laura Heiss - 50th birthday celebration

Dunlap and Mabe "I watched their promo video and thought this band would be a great fit for our community gathering. My main job is in concert audio, and I work with bands every week. I've done high main stream bands and garage bands, Robert Mabe put on a performance that was breath taking amazing. His band's sound was like nothing anyone has heard, our audience was silent with anticipation of the band's next musical note. Before the show was over city officials asked me for their contact info to bring them in for next year's fair concert. This band is worth 10 times what they charge. They are the real deal and will blow away your audience. And yes we're bringing them back." Based in Winchester, Virginia (200 miles from Virginia Beach) Joshua B. - Concert

John Madeley - Solo Acoustic "John Madeley was very professional and entertaining. We would book him again in the future." Based in Center City, Pennsylvania (219 miles from Virginia Beach) 17th July 2026 Brett Daniels - Private Event

Joshua Kocses "Joshua performs acoustic guitar and dual lead vocals with Sean Cox DC Duo and they are amazing. Their range of material spans from decades of performing in the New York, New Jersey and Los Angels & Orange County California area in restaurants, pubs, clubs, private parties, weddings, yacht clubs, boats and veterans/military events. Joshua is a former US Marine and that level of precision is scene and heard in their music. They interact with their audiences and make different people of all types feel welcome." Based in Princeton, New Jersey (252 miles from Virginia Beach) Emily Newcastle - The Roost Creamridge, New Jersey

Cold Weather Company "I can't say enough wonderful things about Cold Weather Company! Steve was my primary contact and he responded to every email promptly. He answered yes to all requests. The band arrived on time and agreed to stay for a late night acoustic set. They were consummate professionals. The music is why we chose the band, and it was amazing & beautiful to hear live. They were the perfect blend of background music that you really want to stop your conversation to listen to, however their cover of Let It Be was so moving, it silenced the room. We could not have chosen better for our fundraiser, all 150 guests were entertained! We are still hearing rave reviews." Based in New Brunswick, New Jersey (264 miles from Virginia Beach) Christine P. - Corporate Event
