"Hollywood Rhythm Kings were more than awesome, if I could give them 10 stars I would. I planned my father-in-law's 70th birthday party, I had a set schedule, but in a party everything is relative and never goes as planned, but the Hollywood Rhythm Kings rolled and flowed with the "punches" as the evening went on. The trio were very generous with requests from our guests. Compared to other groups out there, they really seem to enjoy themselves and was more than a "job" which really showed when they performed! They are very reasonably priced for what they offer and can do. I would recommend them. Thanks for a wonderful evening full of happy memories and music!"
