Photo of Howard Lee Naylor Howard Lee Naylor "Howard arrived on time, promptly set up and was professional and polite. Howard shared his web page to listen to some of his work, this helped me to know what to expect and I was very happy to find him in a short notice. We enjoyed having Howard play at our client event. We received great feedback and reviews from our guests, everyone enjoyed his music! Howard even took and played some requests!" Based in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada (248 miles from Portland) Nelly Hamilton - KRP - Family BBQ Photo of Scotty Swan Scotty Swan "Professional, easy to work with, and incredibly talented. The mellow jazz and pop vibes were exactly what we wanted early on, and the energy shift later was seamless. Guests kept asking where the music was coming from."

Her setlist, a thoughtful blend of original songs and beautifully reimagined covers, enriched the atmosphere and brought an emotional dimension to the celebration. Drawing from genres as diverse as pop, rock, country and traditional wedding music, her repertoire showcased not only her versatility but her keep ability to capture the spirit of the moment. The Madame's voice ranged from a soft velvety croon to a powerful , resonant anthem, filling the room with palpable energy. She effortlessly expressed the love and joy radiating from the bride and groom. Whether performing heartfelt ballads or upbeat dance numbers, she imbued each song with a warmth and authenticity that resonated with everyone in attendance. What truly set her apart was her adaptability. Unlike DJs confined to their pre-selected playlists, the Madame embraced spontaneity, taking requests from guests and even offering inspired suggestions that added personal and unexpected touches to the evening. Madame Mackintosh didn't just perform; she became part of the celebration's heartbeat, leaving everyone in awe of her artistry." Based in Morgan, Utah (633 miles from Portland) John Millsaps - Private Event Photo of Greg Ballad Greg Ballad "Greg Ballad's tribute was an absolute delight! His smooth vocals and charismatic stage presence made the audience groove to the soulful tunes of Luther Vandross, Barry White, and Teddy Pendergrass. It was a night filled with nostalgia and incredible talent. Bravo, Greg!" Based in Las Vegas, Nevada (756 miles from Portland) Jacob L - Concert
