Dynamic Duo "We thoroughly enjoyed listening to your band at our corporate cocktail event In Kelowna. Beautiful and lively music! They were easy to book, on time and extremely professional. Our thanks to you guys!" Based in Kelowna, British Columbia (28 miles from Penticton) 6th May 2026 Megan K - Corporate private function

Trevor Salloum Jazz Trio "Thank you so much, Trevor! The band sounded wonderful, and provided the perfect atmosphere for the crowd. Mom loved it! We are already talking about a sequel next year… You guys were great - thanks again!!" Based in Kelowna, British Columbia (28 miles from Penticton) F.D. Coldstream, BC. - Private Party

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." Based in Bellingham, Washington, United States (140 miles from Penticton) George Duchow - WRGG Radio

John Nicholson Saxophone "He was great to work with and guests loved him. He’s awesome!" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia (160 miles from Penticton) 9th September 2026 Angela Naseri - Wedding

New Age Flamenco "I've heard the music of New Age Flamenco around Seattle over the years and we got lucky enough to have them at our Ceremony and Reception. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Oleg and New Age Flamenco. I won't even go into the basics [of being on time and other common sense], because these guys are simply the best in town. From their professionalism to how reliable they are to the standard of entertainment they provide, I will forever recommend them to anyone holding any event. Oleg wend above and beyond with planning the whole evening with us for literally hours and we couldn't have been more thankful. On top of that, I had the honor to perform with them at our wedding, which was one of my favorite memories through the evening! Thank you for everything guys! S.D." Based in Seattle, Washington, United States (180 miles from Penticton) S AND D - Acoustic guitar trio New Age Flamenco

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!" Based in Seattle, Washington, United States (180 miles from Penticton) Ashley V - Corporate Party
