Review by Bill S.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on June 23, 2019From Sherborn, MA

Totally professional, accommodating and nice folks. That's great but you'll want to hire them because these guys (and Liz) CAN REALLY PLAY!! They are fantastic. A number of our guests are musicians and they all were floored.

B J Magoon & Driving Sideways:

Bill & Rosemary ?are the best customers & hosts. They were totally accommodating, very easy going & flexible. We received nothing but compliments from them and their guests and the weather couldn't have been better for an outdoor event! Thank you! B J Magoon & Driving Sideways
