CLIENT FEEDBACK:
I hired John Ellis to play at an engagement party on June 23, 2007. He and his assistant were very professional in the way that they handled the job. The sound system was first rate. The artist and his sound man were careful to abide by my request to keep the sound levels to a point that would not disturb the neighbors, since we were in a rooftop restaurant. The songs were terrific. My guests and the guests of honor were very happy with the range of songs. John Ellis seemed to have some tunes for each of the four generations present. I would highly recommend them to friends and I would hire them again.
