Latest New York City Musician Reviews

Village Theory
Village Theory - Drummer - New York City Event Type: Wedding 10th June 2023
We hired Village Theory a full year before our big day. The wait was sooooo worth it! They’re such a fun vibe. Can’t say enough about this band! 5/5

Dean Bohana
Dean Bohana - One Man Band - New York City Event Type: Family Reunion 7th August 2022
Dean is an incredibly talented musician and singer, he took what was otherwise a run of the mill family reunion and made it a fun romp through the history of music! Folks who hadn’t moved in years were suddenly dancing and singing along, Dean Bohana made it an unforgettable time! Highly recommended!

Aayushi Karnik
Aayushi Karnik - Electric Guitarist - New York City Event Type: Blog post 25th March 2022
Aayushi Karnik grew up in perhaps the most untraditional place for an aspiring blues guitarist: Surat, India. Yet despite that, the 26 year-old Karnik sounds like a young Stevie Ray Vaughn or Buddy Guy. On her debut album Troublemaker, the follow up to her debut EP The Summer Children, Karnik showcases her generational talent alongside two New York City veterans, Todd Turkishir (drums) and Gregory Jones (bass).

James Teal
James Teal - Violinist - New York City Event Type: Personal Surprise 6th January 2022
James did more than play an instrument today. I booked him to play a single song and he brought his funky light-up violin and enthusiastically transformed a cold, imposing chamber in the financial district into a momentary place of warmth and magic, giving our family a memory we will never forget. He was a consummate pro, good natured, understanding, and responsive from start to finish.

Tomina Parvanova Lyden
Tomina Parvanova Lyden - Harpist - New York City Event Type: Wedding 14th March 2020
Tomina was the musician for our wedding ceremony. She was amazing, I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful harpist. She was very accommodating with music selections and all the questions I emailed to her. Her beautiful playing also added to the reception. I feel very lucky to have hired Tomina and it is my pleasure to recommend her. If the opportunity presents, I would not hesitate to contact her again.
