JaZz Party!
"We hired Kevin and his jazz band for our gallery opening in July, and they were fantastic from start to finish. Kevin communicated with us a week before the event and again the day prior, which made everything seamless. The band arrived on time with all their equipment and was professional, organized, and an absolute pleasure to have. They created the perfect ambience for our opening. We would gladly hire them again and highly recommend them to friends, family, and anyone looking for a great jazz band."
Erika Petti
"We hired Erika for a private event in Tuscany and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made for the whole trip.
We had a group of English friends over for a few days in the Tuscan countryside, and we wanted something special for one of the evenings. Erika came with her guitar and voice and completely won everyone over. She's incredibly versatile, moving easily between Italian classics, jazz, bossa nova and English songs, so there was something for everyone in the group.
Beyond the music, she was warm, professional and easy to organise everything with beforehand. She read the room perfectly and adjusted the set as the evening went on, which made the whole night feel effortless. Our friends are still talking about it.
Highly recommend her for any private event, big or small, especially if you want a mix of languages and styles done really well"

- a unique stage presence!
- a unique voice!"
