They performed at two events. Both were beyond sublime. Victor and Patrice work so well together and, I hate to sound cliched, they make beautiful music together.
Prior to my wedding party, I’d asked if they could play LILAC WINE, something like Nina Simone’s version, which they did, beautifully. In fact I’d forgotten by the time of the party, they did not.
They’re amazing. I will continue to use them for future events.

Love the music. Used them twice once for a birthday party the other time for a wedding. Wished I lived back in the bay area so I hear them again.
