Feedback

  • We could not have had a more perfect day and Coventry Jones was part of that. I knew that we would like him but did not know how fantastic he sounded live. All of our guests asked how we found him and now want to look up his other gigs in the Wisconsin area to go and hear him! We all had fun and he was such a great person to work with. We could not have wished the evening to be any better, it was perfect! -- Ashley H, Madison, WI, 8/15/2009
  • CJ performed at our local coffee house where we held a "stop hunger" fundraiser. Not only was his performance terrific but he was professional and accomodating regarding terms of engagement. If you want to have fun, hear great music and go home smiling, hire CJ. Ralph Intagliata, Chicago -- Ralph I, Chicago, IL, 8/28/2009

  • CJ made immediate contact regarding the bid and kept in contact between the contract and event to ensure any concerns or requests I might have would be addressed for the event. He demonstrated great professionalism by: 1)his timeliness in being set up and ready for performance as agreed, 2) extending his performance for the audience without solicitation 3) having a wardrobe change to ensure he was dressed to my expectations and 4) his interaction with the group throughout performance. CJ is a talented musician and a delight to work with. I found his rates to be competitive and a good value for the evening. I would recommend him for hire and would hire him again. -- Mary N, Westfield, WI, 7/8/2006
  • Coventry performed for my company's campfire event at the Osthoff Hotel. There were about 60 people there. Coventry was very professional in terms of getting to the function on time and having everything I requested with him. He is a accomodating and easy to work with. The attendees at the event were impressed with his abilities and he handled himself very well taking request after request. I would defitnitely recommend he for this type of venue. -- Heidi B, Elkhart Lake, WI, 7/17/2006
