Feedback

  • I have had nothing but great comments and everything was done in a professional manner...our guest enjoyed the evening and I even wish we had a bigger crowd. I would hire them at the drop of a hat... Even with my bad back and knees I was out dancing. Ken Kohnhorst Chairman Leavenworth RotaryFest -- Ken K, Leavenworth, WA, 11/12/2011
  • Robert Yetter was our main point of contact for booking the talent. His responses were immediate and highly professional. Not only had they performed in our event space in the past, they were able to provide recommendations on how to make the sound more conducive to the networking environment we were trying to create. Cindy has an AMAZING voice and was talked about throughout the evening! I cannot wait to have another opportunity to book them again! Judy Henrichs, CMP Account Supervisor Radarworks|Event Services -- Judy H, Seattle, WA, 5/7/2007
  • This band MADE our night perfect, the music was perfect to link generations, as the twenty-somethings danced right along side the grandparents! I would whole heartedly and completely recommend this band to anyone, we still are receiving compliments on the band a month later! -- Sarah T, Tacoma, WA, 7/22/2006
  • Unbelievable big band sound from musicians who do it because they love it. The price made it very affordable for my nonprofit. An amazing night! -- Jason F, Redmond, WA, 4/22/2006
