John Drake
"John performs to the crowd—if they’re mellow he’s mellow. If they’re having fun he kicks it up a notch with them. Great blues and blues rock. His original songs are crowd pleasers."
Michael Marciano

David Brandt
"I hosted a bday party for my wife. David did a great job with pop and rock across generations. He was solo or we sang alone. We danced and laughed and had a great time!"
BackForward / Adam Cartwright
"Talented across the board!
We were blown away by Adam’s professionalism, attention to detail, musical talent and fun factor at our recent party! The cherry on top was his ability to take great quality professional photos! Adam was a great MC who took my DJ playlist inspiration and ran with it to create the perfect playlist for our party. And we can’t forget the Taylor Swift meets Coachella rendition of Happy Birthday which flowed into Jack & Diane. Such a fantastic addition to the event!"
Ralph Russell Saxophone
"Ralph was wonderful!
Ralph was amazing! He adapted so well to the mood of our party. He was able to play Christmas song lyrics on the screen so we could sing along at our Christmas party. He made the night a hit! He even stayed longer than planned because everyone was having such a nice time. Highly recommend him!"
