We hired Robert (guitar) and his colleague (saxaphonist) for a 70th birthday party for my Dad. They were very professional, arrived early and the music was exceptional. I wished I could have them play for me all of the time! Every single guest commented to me on how fabulous they were. There were many age groups at our party from 2 to 82. They played a great mix of music that entertained, and kept the interest of everyone. I will definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone who is looking for music for their events. If anyone is reading this review trying to decide whether they should hire these guys, do it! You won't regret it!

Robert McCloy is a truly gifted musician. He took the time to learn the songs we wanted at our ceremony and even recorded them ahead of time to make sure that he was playing it exactly right. He was professional and a wonderful addition to our wedding. Thanks, Robert!

NEVER HAVING MET EITHER GENTLEMAN, I WAS VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THEM AS WERE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. THEY WERE FUN AND TALENTED. EVERYONE SAID THEY WISH THEY COULD HAVE PLAYED ALL DAY. IT WAS A LOVELY TOUCH TO THE CELEBRATION OF THE DAY.

Classical/Jazz Guitar Ensemble was outstanding in every respect. Right from the first telephone interview I was impressed. Robert McCloy was easy to communicate with, prompt in his replies and most helpful and accomodating with regard to our requests - they even transcribed some of our own Ukraininan folk music to add to an already rich mix of classical, jass, rock, celtic, pop and toe tapping dancing music. The trio we hired brought multiple instruments so the music they produced was beautifully rich in tone and beautifully performed. The amplification was perfect - wonderfully audible but not so painfully loud as to prohibit any hope of conversation or pleasing listening and they played continuously for six hours with only minimal breaks. We enjoyed beautiful music during cocktails and dinner and then danced the night away. They achieved the almost impossible - they appealed, equally well, to both the older guests AND the younger set and their varsatility and talent in all genres of music was amazing. We are still getting compliments on our choice of music and musicians. Robert and his fellow musicians added to the perfection of my daughter's wedding day and I can honestly say that this group is very professional and talented and I recommend them very highly for any type of event.

Robert McCloy and his band displayed the utmost professionalism, versatility, and talent when he played at our wedding and reception. We received so many compliments from our guests on our choice of musicians and their range of styles...there was something played for everybody!! Robert and his accompanying musicians played a broad variety of Celtic, bluegrass/country, oldies rock, jazz/swing. They sang and played everything from fiddles to guitars. They were both classy AND fun, which is a hard combination to pull off. Thank you so much Robert!! Davis & Cindy Coye

I was so happy with these musicians! Before the wedding, Robert was always willing to discuss any questions I had and always returned my calls promptly. They accommodated my requests for special music with no problems and it sounded just like the CD I had given them to learn the songs from. They played beautifully and I never had to worry about them all day. I would recommend their services to any bride who wants something more elegant than a DJ for her special day.

Robert McCloy was absolutely patient and accommodating, particularly given the lengthy coordination provided him by our group. He was always quick to respond with answers to the questions we posed in planning our engagement. Guests remarked that he was quite talented, and possessed a warm personality. I will certainly keep Mr. McCloy in mind for any future entertainment needs.

Robert was very easy to work with, and was very helpful in selecting musical pieces for my daughter's wedding. He sent us several MP3 files of possible selections so that we could hear how they sounded as solo pieces. All of our contact with Robert was professional with prompt responses, he arrived on time, and played beautifully throughout the wedding ceremony. Thank you for helping to make her special day a success.
