The Magpies "We were so excited to have The Magpies play and sing for our AACA Christmas party! Our caterer bailed on us and we found a restaurant to bring food, but it took a long time, however the time flew by listening to these ladies with beautiful songs everyone knew! Lovely, lively piano & guitar and fantastic vocals including Holiday songs for Christmas! They saved the day for us by keeping the party going! Kathleen /Antique Auto Club of America" Based in Victoria, Texas, United States (662 miles from Mexico City) 24th November 2025 Kathleen Ross - VP Golden Crescent Antique Auto Club

Spiritus Mundi Crescentis "What a show last night! We're still talking about it at breakfast." Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States (922 miles from Mexico City) 21st September 2026 Adrienne Shulman

Violinist & Band "Amazing musicians! Variety of music styles and songs. We hired Emil with his band for our Corporate event and they were a huge hit! Everyone was up on their feet dancing along the whole night. Incredibly nice and such a pleasure to work with them! Emil made sure the playlist targeted our whole audience and sounded awesome. I would definitely recommend them for any and all events and hope to work with them again!" Based in San Diego, California, United States (1,444 miles from Mexico City) Ed Johnson - Crpporate event

Synthesi "They are great and all are wonderful men! Go you will enjoy!!" Based in Long Beach, California, United States (1,534 miles from Mexico City) Phyllis Truelove - Fan

Dunlap and Mabe "I watched their promo video and thought this band would be a great fit for our community gathering. My main job is in concert audio, and I work with bands every week. I've done high main stream bands and garage bands, Robert Mabe put on a performance that was breath taking amazing. His band's sound was like nothing anyone has heard, our audience was silent with anticipation of the band's next musical note. Before the show was over city officials asked me for their contact info to bring them in for next year's fair concert. This band is worth 10 times what they charge. They are the real deal and will blow away your audience. And yes we're bringing them back." Based in Winchester, Virginia, United States (1,850 miles from Mexico City) Joshua B. - Concert

Cold Weather Company "I can't say enough wonderful things about Cold Weather Company! Steve was my primary contact and he responded to every email promptly. He answered yes to all requests. The band arrived on time and agreed to stay for a late night acoustic set. They were consummate professionals. The music is why we chose the band, and it was amazing & beautiful to hear live. They were the perfect blend of background music that you really want to stop your conversation to listen to, however their cover of Let It Be was so moving, it silenced the room. We could not have chosen better for our fundraiser, all 150 guests were entertained! We are still hearing rave reviews." Based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States (2,059 miles from Mexico City) Christine P. - Corporate Event
