Larry Tasse
"I was awarded the San Francisco Theatre Critics Award for my Music Composition and Sound Design for Quantum Dragon Theater’s production of Ray Bradbury’s play Fahrenheit 451 at the Potrero Stage."
Elite Jazz Band
"I had an incredible experience! I had the opportunity to have Igor and Sergei play the double bass and piano for my proposal, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. We spoke over Zoom and on the phone to go over the details, and they truly understood my vision. They even checked out some of the songs I wanted to include. They arrived on time and delivered an unforgettable performance. I will definitely hire them again for future events and highly recommend them"
Dan Olivo - Jazz, Swing, Big Band & Pop
"Dan and his band was amazing
I threw my wife a surprise 10 year cancer remission party and found Dan Olivo on GigSalad. Soon as I talked to him I knew he was the right person for this special event. He definitely provided a memorable night and was the highlight of the party. I would recommend him without any reservations and can't wait to see him perform again."
Good Co
"We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!"
Texas Gypsies
"In a word... FABULOUS! These guys gave us just the sound we needed for our fun Prohibition-theme wedding. It is now two weeks later, and all we keep hearing is "Man, that band was fantastic!" They are worth the asking price (which is very reasonable to begin with!) Steve Curry is a great guy and very easy to deal with. I would recommend them without any reservations."
The Rick Levine Band
"Fantastic Band! Rick is easy to work, dance floor was full all night long. Guests are still talking about how the Rick Levine Band helped make my event a success! Thanks."
