Charlie was a wonderful addition to our corporate reception. He provided a ton a fun music. We even had people up and dancing to him, with no formal dance floor. You know the musician is AWESOME when attendees dance. It's so rare for them to get up and dance these days. We are grateful to Charlie for his professionalism, responsiveness, punctuality, and quality of his talent. He was such a professional even when the hotel pulled the plug on him mid-song. Which we apologize for, by the way, Charlie! Book him, you will not be sorry!

Hi Kira, thanks for the wonderful review! I had a great time playing live music for the reception and the diverse group of people. It was fun and exciting to have the attendees dancing, enjoying the music, and having a good time. Thanks again for having me and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again at a future event!
