5/5 from 14 reviews

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 Kara Evans - Annual 4th of July in Lake Tahoe

Justin Curry "An absolute Virtuoso! The only thing I can say is that Justin was by far the best choice I have ever made to give my event it's WOW factor! An absolute professional and gentlemen, he worked with us on all of our requests, and was flexible even when our event fell behind schedule! He was punctual, kind and with my years of attending classical concerts, ranks with (and above) many top soloists I have gone to see at Carnegie Hall! An absolute Virtuoso and master of his craft despite his young age! I can't recommend him enough, Justin Curry is truly world class entertainment and a class act!" Based in Cleveland, Ohio Jason Calvin - Private event

Ian Lane "Very professional, blended in well, and did good music like Buffet, James Taylor, Van Morrison, etc. Did a great job!" Based in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio (28 miles from Cleveland) Steve P. - Backyard party

Micah T "An exceptional saxophonist professional, incredibly talented, and a pleasure to work with. They were timely, communicative, and delivered an outstanding performance. Highly recommend!" Based in Clinton Township, Michigan (98 miles from Cleveland) 31st July 2026 Morise Adio-Moses - Outdoor Wedding

Chris Eh Young "We love having Chris out to Bad Apple. He is a great guy to work with and a great musician! He is good at reading the crowd and taking requests from a variety of genres (even Britney on occasion ?)!" Based in London, Ontario, Canada (105 miles from Cleveland) Bad Apple Brewing - Bad Apple Brewing

TimOwings OneManBand "Tim did an amazing job with our daughter’s grad party! Very engaged with the crowd! He’s an Amazing singer and great guy to work with!!!!" Based in Sunbury, Ohio (106 miles from Cleveland) 8th April 2026 Jenn Splete - My daughters grad party
