4 Lads From Liverpool
"This is the third time that we have hired 4 Lads From Liverpool and they draw the biggest crowds of any other group in Sierra Madre. They really know how to get a crowd going and having a good time.. We will most likely or hire them again next year."
Private Affair Band
"Have you ever wondered what makes a great party? We learned quickly that it is Private Affairs. We hired this band for an upscale 70th Birthday Party, and without them, this event would have been just another party. The theme was the 70s, and not only did all the band members embrace it by dressing in 70s garb, but they also embraced the spirit of the party and created the most fun and engaging atmosphere. They are consummate professionals and wonderful human beings. Their interaction with the party-goers helped make this event fun and memorable for everyone. All evening long, our guests came up to us and said things like, "What a band", and "Who are these great musicians"? If you want to elevate your event and are looking for FUN, do not hesitate to engage Private Affairs."
Vik Momjian
"We had a very pleasant experience at our family private event with the musical group that Vik Momjian put together . We already knew of his utmost professionalism and experience as a Bas’s guitar instructor, therefore entrusting him with his musical group was the natural wise decision and he and his band mates certainly satisfied our family and guests with flying colors!"
B. Thompson
"What an amazing performance. B.Thompson is not only talented as Saxophonist but he is also an Amazing Entertainer. 100% recommendation to book him."

He was professional, talented, and engaging with our guests. Everyone kept complimenting the music! Highly recommend for any special event."
