Todd was excellent in every way. Extremely professional and responsiveness to all of my requests. He customized his song list and approach to our event to make it a smooth fit for our family and friends. Most importantly, his music was outstanding and everyone at our party told me how much they enjoyed his music and how he played. I highly recommend Todd for your event - you can't go wrong with him. Fantastic.

People we're talking all night about how much they enjoyed Todd!! Even the club where we had our celebration wanted his info for a possible regular gig. Very prompt and professional and perfect for a group of young and older people. Wide range of music and even learned a few requested songs ahead of time. Will hire him again!!

We hired Todd for our holiday party with friends and family and he was OUTSTANDING!! He played a variety of songs, as well as some of his original stuff. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat! (he even wore an ugly Christmas sweater for the party!)
