• Amazing! Sound exactly as they do on the mp3's I downloaded before booking them. All of our guests commented how wonderful they were and asked where we found them. So easy to work with. They even battled a horrible storm to get to our event. Could not be more impressed with their music and professionalism!!! Would recommend everyone hire them for your next event! -- Kristi T, Memphis, TN, 5/8/2009

If you want talented musicians that will work different types of themed events then I would highly recommend Cynthia and Bob! They were on time and were set up and ready to play in a flash! They are very nice, polite individuals, I felt like I had known them for years! We will for sure be using Cynthia and Bob for upcoming events.

Their performance during our silent auction/mingle hour was the icing on the cake for the event. Literally everyone commented on how wonderful they were.

They made the event. -- Kelley C, Evansville, IN, 11/16/2007

• Cynthia McDonald and Bob Green her musical partner performed at my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Cynthia's smooth vocals and Bob's expertise on the keyboard, saxaphone, and other instruments added the perfect touch to the celebration. They were both very professional, gracious, and very responsive to our requests. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again in the future. I received numerous compliments concerning their performance and my parents thought they were wonderful. Blair Armbrister -- Blair A, Bluefield, VA, 8/4/2007
• This was a very positive experience. They set up right on time in a rather unusual location. This was a retirement party for our World Champion Saddlebred horse, CH Sammyshine. The party was outdoors in a show barn at the Kentucky State Fair. They provided great music for 200++ people and helped create a fantastic relaxed yet festive atmosphere for our party. They had top quality equipment and were able to adjust easily to the unusual location. On top of that they were nice people. I feel like we have made new friends. I highly recommend Cynthia for your next event. -- Cathie S, Louisville, KY, 8/23/2007
• Cynthia McDonald and her partner Bob Green are very talented and provided a wonderful performance for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary party. Many of the guests were very impressed with how well Cynthia sings and Bob's exceptional versataity with different instruments. Everything Cynthia did, from providing a contract promptly, responding to email inquiries, and singing her heart out, was greatly appreciated and done with professionalism. I would not hesitate for an instant to recommend her for anyone wanting the beatiful music of the Golden Era of Jazz and Big Bands. Cynthia provided exactly what she said she would and looked great doing it. She's very pretty and can sing wonderfully. Both she and Bob are a perfect combination for any special event. Many Thanks, Barbara Barg -- Barbara B, Carmel, IN, 6/10/2007
• Cynthia and Bob were absolutely perfect for our event. It is always difficult to chose a band for something as important as your wedding reception. They were professional, had wonderful stage presence, very talented. I was worried because we only hired the 2 of them as they came to St. Louis, but it was like a full band. They made all the arrangements with our venue, set up well in advance as not to interrupt our dinner. They were so accomodating and really a class act. I would recommend to anyone. -- Alie K, Saint Louis, MO, 6/2/2007
• Cynthia McDonald was highly professional in all our dealings with her. She was hired along with Bob Green as the entertainment for a wedding reception. Both are extremely talented and everyone commented on how great they were. Cynthia was easy to work and more than accomdating, going the extra step to make everything perfect. Cynthia and Bob compliment each other in great style. The proformance was more than good .... it was fantastic. Would not hestitate to hire Cynthia for any occasion and most certainly will do so again. PS: Get her CD - You will really enjoy it..... -- Becky G, Evansville, IN, 2/17/2007
• My clients were very impressed with Cynthia McDonald. She is a very talented performer and I look forward to asking her to perform at another event some time in the near future. -- Brandy P, Dayton, OH, 11/28/2006
