• Michael was outstanding! This last-minute "gig" was very unusual. It called for the performer to pose as a street musician & perform to an unsuspecting girlfriend passing by, who would then be proposed to on the spot. Michael and his manager Susan were fantastic. They understood the spirit of romance that the gig called for and were very accomodating in carrying out the request. As for Michael's talent, I was so happy that he could learn a new song on only one day's notice and perform it so beautifully and so romantically. He is clearly extremely talented. Michael is a great musician & a great person too. I give him my highest recommendation! -- Dan Clark, Annapolis, MD, 1/23/2010
• My husband and I, and all of our guests, were quite impressed with the talent. They were well dressed and groomed, their equipment was the best, clean and new looking and highly technical. They gave more of themselves than I requested. Were versatile with classical fast picking, very nice vocal, harmonica and syncronized electronics. We believe they added that special element of perfection to the party. Our guests, law enforcements of various agencies, high ranking officials, felt appreciated this season. I plan on having them back next year, and maybe even sooner this summer. -- Elaine Lucero, Stafford, VA, 12/14/2009
• Michael confirmed the event, set up early, and his music choice and performance was excellant. He kept the music going all night and really helped the party. We would certainly recommend him and consider using him again. -- Guerdon "gr" Green, Ashburn, VA, 4/19/2010
• Michael Seven performed our wedding song for our 25th anniversary. He had to learn the song and performed it very well. He made the day special and we would recommend him to anyone who needs a performer. -- Louis Blasetti, Baltimore, MD, 5/26/2010

• Michael and Susan were absolutely AMAZING from the beginning to the end! Michael even went as far as to learn a song for me to walk down the aisle to...which was breathtaking! Can't wait to see Michael perform again at a local venue in the near future. -- Lisa O'buck, Occoquan, VA, 6/7/2010
• Thanks Michael for making our party a great success! All of our guests commented that the music was great and how Michael created the perfect atmosphere. We highly recommend Michael and would hire him again. -- Lori Yadin, Leesburg, VA, 3/7/2011
• Michael did a great job on short notice for a performance for my wife's birthday celebration. His communication with me was great and prompt, he was there on time and ready to go, and most important, his sound and performance was top notch. I highly recommend him. -- Craig Silverstein, Washington, DC, 3/13/2011
• Michael gave us a perfect concert. He learned new music for the performance, accommodated our requests, and added his own selections to create the desired ambiance and music. His talent on the acoustic guitar plus his deep rhaspy voice made us feel like we had a Ray LaMontaigne or Jack Johnson right in front of us, only with a larger song repertoire. Michael was professional and courteous, and he made planning the event easy. We were satisfied above and beyond our high expectations. Thanks so much. The audience loved it! -- Andrew Warren, Alexandria, VA, 8/8/2011
• Hired Michael to perform at our private deck party with short notice and he was awesome. He was very talented and has a great personality. The guests all had fun and several asked for his business card. I would recommend him for any function. -- Romand Schmuck, Ijamsville, MD, 6/12/2011
• Michael Seven was the perfect addition to our wedding. First of all he was on time, very professional, played exactly what we were hoping he would play. He sounded great, had the right tone, and was great with everyone. I would hire Michael again myself everytime and would recommend him whole heartedly for anyone. Thank you again Micahel and good luck!!! -- Andrew Parker, Pikesville, MD, 8/30/2011
• Michael was a pleasure to work with. He was accommodating of every one of our requests and played great music all night. Our friends were all impressed and wondered where we found him. He really made the entire party! We were stressed out preparing everything leading up to the party, but Michael kept in contact with us and I never felt worried about that aspect of the party. When he showed up, he was professional and calm, and ready to go by the time our first guests arrived. During the party, he played great music and listened to (and played) our requests, as well. He even let me get on the mic and sing happy birthday. I would recommend him to anyone. -- Luke Crofoot, Silver Spring, MD, 10/8/2011
• He was terrific and I would use him again. I have told many of your web site and how impressed I am from start to finish with it. He was personable, easy going, personable, friendly, accommodating and extremely talented. Thank you for this site and I thank him for a great event!!! -- lynn spiegel, Potomac, MD, 2/19/2012
