Reviews
We hired Ryan for an event for our nonprofit organization and he was so wonderful to work with! Not only is he extremely talented, but he showed up early, was a fantastic communicator, and was friendly and responsive to our staff and all of the guests at our event. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a musician for any type of event.
Ryan was AMAZING - we had the best time with him. He’s so talented and really made our entire event. The perfect evening would recommend him to anyone!!
Ryan goes above and beyond! Professional, quick to respond, enthusiastic, and oh can he sing! We were blown away by Ryan's performance, it was exactly what we had envisioned for our event. We had a themed event and Ryan worked with us on creating a set list that was perfect! We would highly recommend working with Ryan and would hire him again!
Ryan was an amazing find! We hired him to play at our company party, and upon first contact, he was so responsive and easy to work with. He showed up with his equipment and guitar, set up quickly, and immediately entertained our crowd of 50. His talent was impressive, as was his repertoire of genres and decades. I would highly recommend him!!
Ryan was super flexible and fun to work with! A big hit for our client event!
A true professional with charisma, charm, and a beautiful voice! My 100+ guests were impressed. I look forward to working with Rayan again!!
Made the party for us. Got the crowd involved and let a few of us sing with him. Just an awesome experience overall. Surpassed what we had expected. I would 100 percent recommend Ryan to anyone that asks. Great voice, awesome guitar player, came prepared, showed up earlier than expected, can’t say enough good things. Everyone was talking about our party. Thanks again Ryan!
Ryan played for our 40-person backyard party and was the single best aspect of our gathering. Everyone loved the music and he was very easy to work with: professional, flexible, and more than willing to cater to our requests. He also played an extra 30 minutes because our guests were having such a good time. We’re already planning the next time we can hire him.
Ryan and Brad were really great to work with, very flexible and accommodating since we had a weather cancellation from our first scheduled date. Everyone loved their sound, they helped make it a terrific evening. I hate to give a great review as it will make it harder to book them next time. But they are awesome and your attendees will love them.
