If you really want to know about an artist, nothing is more revealing than personal testimony...... "Working with you this past summer to make our Chicago and Minneapolis tour stops HUGE successes was a real pleasure, especially as I began to work with some not so wonderful performers. Thanks and I look forward to working with you again." - April Lisonbee, Ferrazzi Greenlight "Before Tony and I head off on our honeymoon, just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for doing such an amazing job last night and blowing all our guests (and us!) away. I can't tell you how many people told us how great you were and asked how we found you. (Hopefully you'll get some gigs out of the deal!) :0) We only wish we had been able to take a moment to chat with you and let you know in person how grateful we both were." - Sara Marma (Heiserman) "You performed at my daughter's wedding in September, everyone is still telling me how great you were!!! I love your music and your voice." - Darlene Galassi "THANK YOU! My brother [a musician] (who is a very tricky one to please) said that you were a phenomenal musician and didn't play any cheesy chords. Whatever that means. I just thought you sounded great..... Everyone commented on how great you sounded and it was the perfect music for the party. Looking forward to hearing you again. You have a great gift!" - Jen Czupek "We recently had the pleasure of having Cary play at our party. If I could sum up his contribution to the festivities I would say – Wow! Throughout the evening people kept coming to me asking me where we had found Cary and complimenting his voice, playlist and his ability to get the crowd in a party mood. Cary, thanks for making my husband's birthday celebration extra special! Thanks again!" - Jorie Cummis Cary was outstanding. He "made" our event. He showed up early, was ready to go. He was a total professional. He has a great personality that works well with all crowds. Everyone asked about him, everyone wanted to know where we found him. I would without question hire Cary again and recommend him. -- Tae H, North Barrington Cary was a great entertainer and many of my guest wanted to know how I found him. He worked very well with the crowd and took on request, even the same song several times. I would use Cary again in the future!!! -- Frank P, Lemont Cary was a fantastic addition to our holiday party. He is very talented and knows how to work with a diverse crowd. I highly recommend him. - Jill C, Chicago Cary was exactly what we were looking for to bring some fun and lively entertainment to a potentially stuffy business dinner. He got the group singing and bonding and everyone walked away feeling like they just spent an evening with close friends - instead of the business associates they are. I'd highly recommend him to anyone and I'm definitely planning on using him in the future. -April L, Celebration, Chicago "He was awesome, it could not have sounded or gone any better than it did. People were dancing and having a great time, everyone was asking where I found the musician" - Melissa and Tim Achman

Review by Denise M.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on August 22, 2009From Palatine, IL

We hired Cary to sing at my husband's 50th birthday party and he was absolutely wonderful. The crowd loved him and several people took his business card. I had many positive comments from my guests and I would definately recommend Cary for your next party. I will certainly be calling him again!

Review by Sandra L.

Graduation PartyReviewed on July 6, 2009From Skokie, IL

Cary is a very talented performer. His music selection was perfect for all ages - from young to the older guests. I had so many compliments on how nice he sounded and what a wonderful addition he was to the party. Hearing his music put everyone in such a good mood! My 18 year old graduate continues to tell me what a nice voice Cary had and how good he sounded and I heard similar comments from older guests and my younger 12 year old as well! I would definitely hire him for another event. He's not only talented but a very professional and pleasant person to have around.
