Cocktail PartyReviewed on May 12, 2019From Santa Barbara, CA

I never even knew there was such a thing as gigmasters, and I'm so glad I found it on google! Michael Witt was wonderful, and his gentle guitar set the perfect atmosphere for our non-profit fundraiser. Very talented and professional. Thank you!
