• Barry is a gentleman and excellent musician whom I would highly recommend to others. He arrived early with an engaging smile on his face and, through his music, added a special touch to our event. Thank you, Barry! -- Gayle P, Gig Harbor, WA, 8/29/2009
• What a wonderful musician! Barry was more than accomodating. He answered our request promptly with a yes, returned my voice message, and made it very easy for us. He arrived on time, set up independantly,played music that everyone enjoyed, and tuned my grandson's guitar! We would hire him again. A friend who attended the party asked for his business card which I gladly shared. Thanks GigMaster...you worked beautifully. -- Paulette B, Puyallup, WA, 8/21/2009
• Barry was fantastic! He played all the specific songs we requested perfectly, then was able to improvise a whole new playlist when the ceremony got delayed by nearly an hour! He was great, and would definitely recommend him to everyone. -- Erynn R, Seattle, WA, 7/12/2009

We received numerous compliments on his playing and song choices. He helped make a fun event a great success! We hope to have him back at the Chateau soon. -- Kathleen B, Woodinville, WA, 5/14/2009
