Hi Jon, been a fan of yours for years. The other night while I was researching something on kickstarter a rap song came to me. I am not a song writer I am an Architect, Artist, Poet, Cartoonist and father of 5 great kids and grandfather to 4 beautiful grandkids. I am excited that you are getting back to your mission of music with a message."
Erika Davies Jazz
"Unbelievable Talent! A stunning voice. Magical music. They performed for a beautiful gatsby themed party. It couldn’t have gone better! I’ve hired many musicians in the past & Erika was 20 out of 10!"
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."
Delphi Ravens
"The Delphi Ravens have an amazing stage presence that demands your attention. I loved hearing back context of the songs, it felt like I was really getting to know the band members through their performance."
