Bob is fantastic. I hired him to work with my 13 year and he was able to connect with him on the first day. He’s made my son excited to play the guitar and is very patient. He’s a very nice guy and I know my son looks forward to their weekly sessions. A great hire!!

Bob and his crew were a hit at our wedding! They performed at an outside venue “unplugged”. They had a wide arrangement of music choices and had excellent communication leading up the event.

Bob did a great job at my Husbands 60th Birthday Party. He was accommodating with the timing of the Surprise party, got the guest engaged and we enjoyed his music. Our guests had a wonderful time. Thank you Bob. Will be recommending you.
