⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Apr 21, 2021
We hired a duo to perform during an event for an audience of health care professionals in January.
Given the context of the presentation and the timing (during COVID), the performance was an incredible experience and truly provided an escape for everyone who had the chance to hear them play. Would absolutely recommend and hire again!
