Photo of Mark Broadwell -Vocalist Mark Broadwell -Vocalist "Mark's warm vocals and acoustic guitar have earned the praise of many an audience and has led to a devoted following" Based in Warren, Michigan (11 miles from Detroit) City Of Berkley Michigan-Downtown Development Authority - Citywide Art Fair Photo of Eugene Mann saxophonist and Wind Synth Eugene Mann saxophonist and Wind Synth "Eugene Mann did an amazing job for my private proposal event. I would recommend Eugene for any kind of event though! He has the skills and experience you want when booking a professional. He is an amazing musician and extremely nice person. He took the time to make sure everything was perfect for the event and nailed it." Based in Auburn Hills, Michigan (26 miles from Detroit) 10th May 2026 Joe McAuliffe - Private Photo of Jay Harmon Jay Harmon "Jay Harmon was on time. Jay’s performance time was 3-5pm. He arrived at 2:15pm to set up. (major points there 😊) Jay played non stop. He engaged the crowd and from start to finish and he jammed to the end. My husband and I along with our guests were NOT disappointed!!! We all enjoyed the show. Thank you Jay!!" Based in Cleveland, Ohio (90 miles from Detroit) Monique and James - Taco Bar Festival (Outdoors) Photo of Victor Samalot / Guitar Instrumentalist Victor Samalot / Guitar Instrumentalist "“A fantastic event at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this week was made even better by the fabulous guitar playing of Victor Samalot. This was was a networking event for our firm. Victor fit in perfectly and enhanced the ambiance. Thank you Victor!”" Based in Cleveland, Ohio (90 miles from Detroit) David Carducci / McDonalds - Hopkins - Corporate Event Photo of Adam Jacobs Adam Jacobs "I had an awesome annual 4th of July party on the lake with a big group of my friends! We knew we needed some live music for the event and Adam was the perfect person to do it. He knows how to play to the audience. He plays music that most people know, but it's not too main stream. He also plays his own originals which are very well done. He brings all his own equipment and is very professional and courteous. He asks if there's any requests for songs and tries to accommodate. He keeps the crowd engaged but doesn't take over the event that is your own. I had people walking past trying to come in like it was a public event. I definitely recommend him!" Based in Cleveland, Ohio (90 miles from Detroit) Kara Evans - Annual 4th of July in Lake Tahoe Photo of Island Troy Singing/Guitarist Island Troy Singing/Guitarist "We had our annual event on the beach and Troy was the hit of the party. All the right musical vibes for our beach theme. Troy had many options for us." Based in Cleveland, Ohio (90 miles from Detroit) Jennifer - Corporate event
