We hired Mellow Tones to play at our Holiday Charity Night. The music was great, and they were very professional. They really set the mood with upbeat holiday music and jazz. Everyone enjoyed the show, and we look forward to them playing for us again. Outstanding!

Performed for my wedding and was very accomodating. Bill kept me focused at a time when distractions were coming at me from all sides in the days before the event by having me hear a selection of pieces from which to choose. His large repetoir is a real bonus. As the bride I unfortunately did not get to hear the opening pieces but I got enthusiastic feedback from many guests including my very particular mother.
