Sonic Dream
"I wish there was a way to give TEN star ratings! Sonic Dream Music was incredibly professional and have exceeded everyone’s expectations with their obvious next-level talent along with classy elegance in presentation. I can’t wait for the opportunity to book them again!"

D'AYCH and The Next Level Band
"Used these guys for my event in September of 2023. I can always tell things are going to go well when the communication is clear. We were able to get exactly what we needed for both days of our two day event. The first day we wanted classic rock and/or light rap for the festivities to get the crowd amped up. People were walking around the fest jamming while shopping/eating, which is what we wanted. The second day we needed something far more subtle while dinner was served to our sponsors and guests. D'aych and The Next Level Band brought the old school JAZZ BAND sound. Wow!
We were originally going to go with 2 different bands but D'aych assured me that they could handle it all. THEY ABSOLUTELY DID.
The best parts:
1. On both days they dressed for the theme of our event!!
2. They arrived EARLY and I always say EARLY is on time!
3. They were professional
4. They did exactly what they were hired to do on both days... seamlessly
Definitely my go to band now and will use them at our event in 2024 as well. Thanks guys!"
Lady A
"Just went to see Lady A for the first time. WOW what a show. Soulful voice for all kind of great songs. She had the place dancing and interacting with the crowd. Just a great time. Will look for information to see where she is playing next. The band wirh her is also fantastic as they played some songs b4 she came out. Great voices there too."
Chi Town Duo
"These two musicians were very professional and provided a fantastic mix of different types of artists performed flawlessly. If you’re looking for just a run-of-the-mill acoustic duo, these are not the gentleman for you. Highly recommended and well worth the rate we paid."
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!"
