CLIENT FEEDBACK:  

Roy and his wife were absolutely amazing! We had a private event with approximately 100+ present. He arrived early and set up and made certain that his sound was just right. He made sure that he was an acompaniment to the party and not the focal point which is exactly what I wanted however he has the personality not to mention the talent to carry the party all on his own if one wished. His reportoire of music is amazing and I couldn't even narrow it down because he has so many songs that choosing is a formidable but fun task as my husband and I went back down memory lane while making our selections. Thanks Roy! I will recommend you whenever I have the chance!

Roy is exceptionally talented performer, what an added bonus for him perform at our annual "Boyd Boo Bash" Block Party. We strongly suggest hiring Roy for any upcoming event. His professionalism and talent leaves you completely worry-free that he will be a hit for all ages and all tastes of music. Cant wait to have you back next year. Thanks Roy!

Roy is an exceptional talent, and we feel blessed that we were able to have him perform at my father's Suprise Birthday. From the first conversation with him, throught the set-up, performance and breakdown, Roy continued to be both professional and warm towards my family and guest. I think people were more impressed with him than the rest of the party!!!! For days after the party I was receiving request from friends and family about how to contact Roy for future parties and get togethers, his talent truly made the party a special night to remember for all of us!! Thanks Roy!

Roy was a huge hit at our "Penisulas at Lake Bob Sandlin" fall event. His wide range of music fit the taste of everyone. We will book Roy again and will recommend him to all of our friends and family. Thanks again, Roy!

Roy was perfect! We hosted a dinner party for 120 people on a boat cruise in Austin. Roy was extremely professional and took the time to communicate through phone first, then emails. He asked for our requests and expectations and more than delivered. Our event was at 630pm and he arrived at 330 to set up, so all ran smoothly when guests arrived. He really went beyond what we asked in several capacities. The guests loved Roy and he was great to work with.

Roy and Jerry were a delight! We had Roy sing at our "Over 60's Banquet" at our church - he did great! Our members were very pleased with his song selection and his ability to sing so many songs of "their era." He was accomodating, professional, and most of all, personable! I would highly recommend Roy for your "gig" because he's talented and easy to listen to! Mike Baskett

Fun, Fun, Fun!!!!! We would love to have you back! I must say that I truly appreciate Roy's dedication to his craft. You can truly see how much he loves doing what he does by the detail he gives to each gig he is hired to perform at. Roy was very dependable and made sure my event was completely discussed and prepared for beforehand. Roy showed up in advance of the event and made sure all the sound equipment and his singing area were prepared by the time I stated. My guests truly had such a great time. The best part was when Roy let my guests sing along and make numerous requests. I appreciate Roy's flexibility to change things up a bit! Thank you, Thank you :)

It was certainly a pleasure for me and some of my associates to have Roy Harkey and his lovely wife, Geri, join us for two days at our duck camp. He was most agreeable to anything and everything we wanted to do. He was willing to play all the time. He was very pleasant; he knew every song anyone had ever heard about; and I would highly recommend him to anyone that is considering this type entertainment. We hope to have him back sometime before too long to play for another group. Certainly we hope he will be able to come back again next year for some of these groups that I have periodically at my camp. I sincerely appreciate your putting me in touch with him. I wish both Gigmasters and Roy the very, very best.

Roy was great! Our group ranged in age from babies to 80 plus. Roy played a wide range of music to please all those present. The kids especially enjoyed the "Winnie the Pooh" song and "Long Tall Texan" My mother especially enjoyed "Danny Boy". We all enjoyed dancing too-country, jitterbug, blues etc. and singing along to familiar tunes. Roy interacted well with everyone-winning praise from the whole group, especially my Mom. I would definitely reccommend him as entertainment to others. He seemed to genuinely enjoy entertaining the crowd. He was very professional in his performance and talent. We have already booked him for next year's festival.

Roy Harkey was punctual and accommodating. We were very pleased with his performance, he even stayed over a little while because of a setback we had had. A very pleasant person who looks to satisfy his client's needs. We would contract him again and probably will next summer. Our guests were also interested in contracting him for future events. He has a long list of songs and can mix up the old with the new.
