Feedback

  • Chris was amazing. Extremely professional! He made every effort to make sure we were happy. He sent a song list in advance, asked important questions about what he should wear, where he would be setting up (inside or outside). It was clear to us that he was very experienced. He arrived early and the audience loved him. We would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Chris! -- Amber E, Bedford, TX, 11/21/2009
  • Chris and Danni were great! They work and sound really good together. Everyone at the party had a great time and I had lots of compliments on chris and Danni. Several of the guests asked how i found them and even spoke as though they would want to use them for their own parties. We will be calling them again! -- Catherine S, Katy, TX, 12/19/2009
  • Chris did a great job. I booked Chris as a suprise for my wife's birthday party. I have a small house and was concerned how having live music would work out. Chris was able to find just the right volume to play and my wife and all our guest loved having live music. He did a great job of becoming part of the party and playing music that entertained everyone. I would highly recommend Chris for any occasion. Several of our guest are interested in booking him for future parties and I will definitly book him again when we have another party. We've hosted a few parties and this was by far one of the best due to having Chris there to perform. -- Tim B, Grand Prairie, TX, 1/16/2010
  • Chris was the perfect addition to our annual party. He has a wonderful voice and a playlist that pleases everyone. We told him before the party what sort of music we were looking for after having a look through his website for inspiration. That was it! He just knew what to do and did it. Chris was a very low maintenance entertainer - he found the right spot in our backyard and played all night. We just enjoyed the party as he played set after set. I would highly recommend him for your function. He is a confident musician that can just read the mood of the party and make it happen. We will definitely have him back! Katie -- Katie M, Austin, TX, 4/6/2012
