Endless, Nameless
"Where shall I begin… I’ve been a Nirvana fan since 1990, I remember buying their cassette single for “Smells like teen spirit “ at the CVS at my local mall , I was immediately blown away. Unfortunately I was too young to see them live and they have been a favorite band since. I first caught Endless Nameless at a swap meet show earlier this year , I was once again immediately impressed. I’ve since them seen them live several times and let me tell you they bring it!! They do such an amazing job covering Nirvana that my friends and I who are huge Nirvana fans also feel the same. We truly are grateful to have such a talented group of musicians to cover such a classic and timeless band . Thank you Endless.. Looking forward to your next shows.🤘🤘"
Mike Goodrick
"We've had the pleasure of having Mike play at our Cider Taproom regularly, and the vibe he brings to the room is always a hit. Whether he's covering pop, rock, or indie favorites, he connects with our customers and makes every night feel special. But the real game-changer has been his Acoustic Emo Nights. Every time he hosts one, our profits jump by at least 40% compared to a regular night. The energy is incredible, and the crowd loves the all-requests format. It's become one of our most popular events, and we can't recommend him enough for any venue looking to draw a crowd and keep them coming back."
Wendy Clark Band
"Wendy and her crew are seasoned musicians and engaging performers."
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."
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!"
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!"
