"James was prompt, prepared and enthusiastic. He was a delight to have at my party. I enjoyed the music, his low key attitude fit beautifully with the guests. I had hired James based solely on his website, having never had the opportunity to view his shows previously. He surpassed my expectations in every capacity. The music was continually enjoyed by guests without being obtrusive. I would rehire James without hesitation. Gigmasters made hiring him a breeze and he made the evening that much more special with his presence."

"There was a scheduling mix-up that was totally my fault. Mr Raymond figured it out and we were able to correct it before it was too late. He arrived early and set up his equipment. We added a little more equipm. He played long sets with only a few short breaks in between. When we asked him to play some limbo music for the limbo contest, he knew the music needed to make it happen even tho we didn't tell him in advance. His music was exactly what we needed (soft rock for a socializing crowd) and his price was reasonable. I will recommend him in the future."
- Buford P.
Private Party

on 08/08/2008
"James was fantastic...not only did our event get moved indoors because of weather, our party list dwindled from 200 people to about 20 (including kids). James played as if all 200 were there which was great. He is an awesome talent that I would recommend to anyone for ANYTHING! "
