Ruel is absolutely incredible! He came and played at my husband’s 40th birthday party and his music truly made the evening for us. We are trying to come up with another good excuse to have him come play for us again! Ruel is so professional and very responsive; plus, the overall ease of the booking process was such a treat! Thank you, Ruel!! We can’t wait to have you back!!
