Wow! Nick made our party. He took my parents right back to 40 years ago, playing their classic wedding jams. This anniversary was a big one and we definitely picked the perfect musician. He nailed our set list, took requests, and was so sincere about wanting everyone to be jamming out having a great time. Seriously impressive voice and skills...not to mention he braved the late night cold weather since our party was outdoors. Would recommend and hire again! Thanks Nick!!
