Versus
"Versus played my 25th class reunion! Their mix of 80s, 90s and current hits were ON POINT! They had our crowd dancing all night! These guys put on a fun show, sound great and are consummate professionals!
Highly recommend!"

"I hired Michael to play guitar at both public and private events numerous times and he’s always prepared and did a good job!"
The Unknowns
"There are songs that just stand out because they are so different from everything out there. “Stay Down Kat”, by The Unknowns, is definitely one of those songs. There’s a suave, jazzy, bluesy feel to this song, with great lead and backing vocals. It’s sultry, sensual, mysterious, and controlled, yet it has its powerful moments. And who can resist a great sax solo? Those things will draw you in, and soon The Unknowns will be known."
Bass Groover
