Lewis & Her Swing Band
"The Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet delivers amazing performances. The ensemble demonstrated a deep understanding of both the jazz and swing tradition and the soul of live interpretation, balancing technical precision with an inviting sense of spontaneity.
Lewis's leadership was evident throughout, with singing that was confident yet understated, allowing space for all the musician voices to shine.There was an unmistakable sense of enjoyment and mutual respect on stage, which translated directly to the audience. Dynamic contrasts were handled with care, and solos were expressive without ever feeling self-indulgent.
Particularly impressive was their attention to providing music that truly worked for dancers. Tempos, dynamics, and phrasing were handled with care, ensuring the music was not only enjoyable to listen to but also perfectly suited to the dance floor. Beyond the performance itself, the professional approach stood out throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and reliable from the initial booking through to the end of the event, making the experience smooth and stress-free.
Overall, the Lewis Barfoot Jazz Quintet combined high-quality musicianship with professionalism and thoughtful consideration for their audience, resulting in a thoroughly successful event."

James Whitmore - wedding at Villa Lena in Toiano, Italy
Tyler Varnell | Saxophone-DJ
"WORTH EVERY PENNY - Trust me! BEST EVER!
When I started planning my 40th birthday party, I couldn't decide between a band or a DJ. Each one I was looking at was just not the vibe and I was starting to get discouraged. Then, a friend of mine posted a story at a party where Tyler was DJing/playing the sax, and right away I knew he was the missing piece. I've attended parties with a sax player before, but NEVER like this and never one who does BOTH the DJing AND the sax! From the moment I reached out, Tyler was incredible. He followed up quickly and was great with all communications - we hopped on a call and to go over my theme and ideas, and he was so receptive and amazing with adding in things to help take my existing ideas to the next level. He even helped with the floor plan suggestions to help ensure my goal of "everyone being on the dance floor with me all night" would be more achievable - and omg am I glad I listened. Additionally, he suggested extending the party 1 hour, and thankfully we did because my initial timing guess was way off. Bottom line - trust him, HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. At the same time, he was never pushy and I never felt like I HAD to go with his ideas, but again, so glad I did. On the night of the party, from start to finish Tyler and his team were flawless. He made sure to play all of my "must play" songs, and read the vibes of the room perfectly - I've truly never seen some of my guests dance this much EVER. The amount of people who came up to me that night and have texted and called me since to tell me how epic Tyler and his team were is not surprising in the least. Multiple guests described it as the "best party they've ever been to" and said they "haven't danced that much since college" (and let's just say, it's been at least 15-20 years since then for all of us). One of my friends even booked him on the spot for her upcoming birthday! I could truly go on and on, but I will just end with this - DON'T THINK TWICE, DON'T BOTHER LOOKING ELSEWHERE, BOOK TYLER. You will NOT regret it! Thanks Tyler and team for the most epic night of my life!!! (also, I wish I could upload videos here because photos don't do any justice!!!)"

Andrew Graham - Apres Ski 40th Birthday Party
Pianista Siena
"We chose this pianist for our wedding in Siena, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made during the entire planning process. From the very first contact, everything felt easy, professional, and well-organized. He took the time to understand exactly what kind of atmosphere we wanted, asking detailed questions about the ceremony, the reception, and even the style of our guests. This level of attention really made a difference.
On the wedding day, everything was absolutely flawless. He arrived well in advance and handled all the setup independently, which allowed us to focus entirely on enjoying our day. The music during the ceremony was simply breathtaking. Each piece was performed with such sensitivity and elegance that it enhanced every emotional moment without ever feeling overwhelming.
During the aperitif and dinner, the piano created a sophisticated and relaxing atmosphere. The repertoire was incredibly well chosen, moving naturally between classical pieces, light jazz, and modern arrangements. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful and refined the music was, and several asked us for his contact details.
What impressed us the most was his ability to adapt in real time. He seemed to read the room perfectly, adjusting the intensity and style of the music according to the mood of the moment. It never felt like a fixed performance, but rather a living part of the event.
If you are planning a wedding in Siena and want something truly elegant and memorable, this is exactly the kind of professional you need."

Miz Terrell
"Miz performed with out band when our singer was out for a gig and she did the gig very well, she was very engaging to the audience and sounded great.
Not all of the set we had suited her style but we were able to adjust and play songs that suited her.
Miz Terrell is a good singer and performer."
