Review by Patrick H.

CelebrationReviewed on October 16, 2023From Puyallup, WA

James was a delight, and super talented musician. I’m hesitant to write a review incase I need to book him in the future, because he’s sooo good, and will be booked up most likely when others find out. He was also able to learn and crush music not on his play list. Made a tough day incredibly special and fun.

Holiday PartyReviewed on December 30, 2017From Portland, OR

James was amazing! We loved having him at our company holiday party in our home, he fit right in! He played so long and rarely took any breaks which helped keep the atmosphere very special. When he did take breaks, he did play some great background music which was great. I also had the opportunity to jam with James at the end of the night, as I also sing, so that was super special. James, we made a great team! If you ever want to get together for open mics in Portland, look me up! I would highly recommend James for any event we might have upcoming where we need a professional singer/guitar player. Thank you for connecting us Gigmasters!

WeddingReviewed on August 10, 2015From Seattle, WA

James played and sang at our wedding from ceremony through to dinner, dancing, and to last call. He was outstanding! We had a smaller wedding and wanted the intimate vibe that a guitar could add, rather than having a louder DJ. I can't say enough positive feedback for how professional James was, how fantastic his sound is, and how well the music completed our wedding vibe. James even learned a new song for our wedding dance. Of all the wedding components, the most talked about from our guests was James. I would recommend him without hesitation and would book him again in a heartbeat.
