Review by Andrea C.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on November 15, 2021From Saint Paul, MN

Jim is an extraordinarily talented musician, and he exceeded our already high expectations. At the end of the evening, he played a really special request from me, and the room went absolutely silent. All our guests were enthralled. The applause after that performance lasted a long while. I hope I have more events, so I have a chance to hear Jim play again. What an experience!

Anniversary PartyReviewed on July 14, 2021From Bloomington, MN

We’d hire him again in a minute! He’s a very talented musician, very responsive to emails, couldn’t imagine a better experience! Our guests loved him too!
