DayDream ProJect "We had DayDream project for our sock burning annual community celebration on our beach. We had a 120 person turn out and everyone was loving the music. They played something for everyone, the music was awesome, they were prompt, great communicators and overall we would love to book them again." Based in Severn, Maryland (25 miles from Washington D.C.) 18th September 2026 Heather M - Community Party @ Oyster Harbor Beach in Annapolis Md May 2026

Flannel and Lace Duo "We hired Cathy and Tom for our wedding and they were the best! They were a joy to work with and have a very fun, upbeat energy. They really listened to what we envisioned for our wedding and made it happen. Multiple people complimented us on the entertainment and they ended the night with karaoke which was a huge hit. I highly recommend hiring Flannel and Lace for any event." Based in Middletown, Delaware (80 miles from Washington D.C.) Julia A.

Sean Kershaw & the New Jack Ramblers "Sean Kershaw and The New Jack Ramblers ROCKED the House! Simply put, if you are looking for a typical, run of the mill house band for your party these guys are not that. They were outstanding, engaged the crowd and had people jumping out of their seats. It was a real pleasure to work with them, and I look forward to our next event." Based in Brooklyn, New York (204 miles from Washington D.C.) 17th March 2026 Allan Linder - MCKB

Fabiandrums "Hiring the singer and percussionist for our wedding's hora loca was hands down the best decision. Right from the start, the energy of the party skyrocketed. The singer is incredibly charismatic and perfectly masterclass at hyping up the crowd, and pairing that with the live beats of the percussion was on another level—it brought so much power to every song! They managed to get absolutely everyone on the dance floor, even those who usually stay seated at least grand ma and grandpa they were clapping. We highly recommend them if you want a truly unforgettable wedding." Based in Manhattan, New York (209 miles from Washington D.C.) 1st July 2026 Carlos Sanchez - SANCHEZ WEDDING 🎉

Brice "Brice played guitar before and during our wedding ceremony. Despite reaching out to him with very short notice, he was more than happy to play some of our favorite songs. He was professional, responsive, and very talented—multiple guests commented on what a beautiful job he did! Brice’s music made our ceremony extra special, and we’re so glad that he was a part of our wedding day." Based in Wake Forest, North Carolina (217 miles from Washington D.C.) Annie Steele - Private Wedding

ALX - The Ashley Lynn Experience "What an awesome show. I’ll be back tonight (and again and again...)." Based in Detroit, Michigan (394 miles from Washington D.C.) 18th March 2026 Wayne D. - The Ashley Lynn Experience
