Review by Hallie C.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 29, 2022From San Francisco, CA

Paul and the Gumbo band made our wedding procession so special! They’re incredible responsive arrived on time and professionally attired with FLARE! And then the actual music and energy was fantastic. They brought so much energy and joy to the entire wedding procession and all who saw us along the way. We could not be more grateful that they were able to perform. Highly recommend! Plus Paul supports other musicians with profits generated from this work.

The Gumbo Band:

I never saw so many beautiful people together in my life and everyone was so friendly to boot. We weren't there to make money on the street but people were throwing us money anyway. All the tips went to the extra tuba player there in training. He was delighted and surprised.lol

Private PartyReviewed on August 16, 2021From Stockton, CA

We had a Mardi Gras party for about 300 people, Gumbo Band came and played, and they blew everybody away, they were absolutely awesome.

The Gumbo Band:

Like to thank the client for the wonderful review, thank u Sharon. Myself and Dr David Hardiman at this stage in our music careers are all about having big fun. It is so wonderful to be able to say it is not about the money but instead about making people feel good or even better great about their decision to make the Gumbo Band a part of their important occasion and then in the end they are so happy that they did.. Drummer, Paul Tillman Smith

The Gumbo Band:

Thank u wonderful client. Considering the social climate we are now engaged in pandemic and all we all came to the table the best we could. Many musicians are having a very hard time and at this time we'd like to thank any and everyone stepping out on faith to hire musicians.
