Harrison was perfect for our work social event. Will definitely have him back!

Bill S.Oct 2026

We really enjoyed the music Ro played for our K of C event in Silver Spring. We were able to select a song list that appealed to all. We were sponsoring a Halloween party for about 50 residents in a home for physically and mentally disabled population. They err all singing along with his music. Great evening!

The performance will be later, but so far everything has been perfect.

Ro Harrison was early and already set up when I arrived at the restaurant. He played and sang nicely despite a lot of noise on Valentine's Day. I would definitely hire him again for such a romantic evening. Excellent job. Gary Kunz

We had put out a very last minute request for a musician and Harrison got back to us promptly! Made the whole process easy and smooth. Our party enjoyed his music and he played to the audience, accommodating requests and the flow of the event. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Music by Harrison enough. We were on a short timeline for our wedding, and he was incredibly accommodating. He’s very talented and expertly elevated our wedding ceremony with his beautiful instrumentals. We are so happy we booked with him, and plan to reach back out if we ever have future musical needs! 10/10 experience.

Ro was great- to the point where he learned a song for our celebrants which was incredibly well received by our guests!

Ashley K.Sep 2025

We hired Ro to play for our private pool party and he exceeded our expectations. He’s a very talented singer and has a great set list. He even takes requests from guests. We would definitely hire him again for a future event and recommend him to friends and family.
