5/5 from 820 reviews
Photo of Rad Flute Rad Flute "RadFlute was wonderful and we made great memories because of her. I love the idea of having live music in an intimate settings, so l hired RadFlute to perform at a small gathering for my mom's birthday. She was quick and responsive in communications. I also loved that she had the flexibility to learn new pieces that are not in her original list. Our event was mixed ages and she even took requests for us from Harry Potter all the way to Frank Sinatra! This made the event extra special."

Just him and his sax, and the whole room felt warmer the second he started. Guests kept wandering over to listen, and a few came up to ask us who he was. He was super easy to work with too, showed up on time and just got on with it. We’d book him again in a heartbeat."
