"Evan was the perfect addition to our party and truly made it a special event and a night to remember. He was fast and thoughtful in his communication, immediately got what I was looking for and completely delivered on it with music that perfectly suited the party's tone. He struck the perfect balance of offering a performance well worth watching and listening to while keeping the volume level and overall feel unobtrusive for people to easily have conversations with music in the background. He went above and beyond, was incredibly nice, and really made our night. I would recommend him for anyone looking for the perfect way to bring an event to the next level with live music!"
