SINGING ALONG IS ENCOURAGED.

PLAYLISTS

"There isn't one band in Los Angeles that plays everything you've done tonight, and at the level you do it!"
-BRENTWOOD GUEST, BELL HARBOR

SONG LISTS

"Where to begin? We knew you guys would rock, but we were definitely not prepared for what transpired. You and your band were sensational! Watching our friends' faces when you transitioned from James Taylor to Journey to Chris Brown was fantastic. Thanks for suggesting we go for the 5 piece band!"
- KUVINKA/MCCULLOUGH, WILLOWS LODGE
