Feedback

  • Mack is a warm, personable artist whose passion and enthusiasm for music shone through in his performance and communications with us.  He is a consummate professional, and during the planning process he was very receptive and accommodating to our ideas.  He created a beautiful and memorable atmosphere with the pieces we requested, as well as with his own, and everything went as smoothly as we could have hoped.  During the banquet he continued to play tirelessly through the evening, taking just a short break.  We are very grateful to have had such a talented performer be part of our special day, and would not hesitate to recommend him for any special occasion. -- Linda K, Vancouver, BC, 9/20/2011
  • Mack Grout did a fantastic job playing at our wedding. Mack and his band members traveled all the way from Seattle, WA to Astoria, OR to help make our wedding a special day. The trio was punctual and very professional the whole evening. They did an amazing job integrating the Beatles songs we had requested into their own repertoire of music. Throughout the evening we heard numerous compliments about the band. They truly did an incredible job and were a perfect fit for our event. I would recommend Mack Grout to anyone looking to hire a band. The immense range of music they can play will leave any client feeling satisfied. Thanks for everything Mack! -- Gina R, Astoria, OR, 6/27/2009
  • This was our initial introduction to Gig Masters, so I had some reservations initially. Mack initiated contact and asked about preference in style and selection. Having Mack play in our home during our cocktail wedding reception for our daughter changed the ambiance of the afternoon from drizzly and pleasant to casually elegant and wonderful. He is truly a talented performer. We had several guests mention how much they enjoyed the music. We enthusiastically recommend this delightful young man and hope to have him entertain here again! -- Mary V, Bellevue, WA, 6/18/2011
