Photo of Michael.C Michael.C "I hired Michael to play guitar at both public and private events numerous times and he’s always prepared and did a good job!" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia (17 miles from Surrey) 5th March 2026 Long Lai - Wedding and corporate parties Photo of The Unknowns 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." Based in Bellingham, Washington, United States (28 miles from Surrey) George Duchow - WRGG Radio Photo of Wendy Clark Band Wendy Clark Band "Wendy and her crew are seasoned musicians and engaging performers." Based in Denver, Colorado, United States (1,088 miles from Surrey) Luke Schmaltz Photo of BackForward / Adam Cartwright BackForward / Adam Cartwright "Talented across the board! We were blown away by Adam’s professionalism, attention to detail, musical talent and fun factor at our recent party! The cherry on top was his ability to take great quality professional photos! Adam was a great MC who took my DJ playlist inspiration and ran with it to create the perfect playlist for our party. And we can’t forget the Taylor Swift meets Coachella rendition of Happy Birthday which flowed into Jack & Diane. Such a fantastic addition to the event!" Based in Naperville, Illinois, United States (1,738 miles from Surrey) Derek - Private Party Photo of Jungleman Jungleman "Love The Music. Love The Vocals. Like To See You Perform Live" Based in Toronto, Ontario (2,072 miles from Surrey) 28th May 2026 Dwayne - Personal Photo of John Madeley - Solo Acoustic John Madeley - Solo Acoustic "John Madeley was very professional and entertaining.
