Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 3, 2024•From Grosse Pointe, MI

Great library of songs and Bob read the room perfectly. Got our crowd going at times (moms 81st bday) and also toned it down when appropriate. We received numerous complements and “where did you find this guy”’s. We’ll be bringing him back again.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 21, 2024•From Southfield, MI

Bob rolled with the punches. We weren't sure we wanted "entertainment" but just background strumming and he did that just right, but as the party got rolling he was able to switch gears and do a couple sing alongs and keep the party going!

Bob was fantastic! Great with the guitar and harmonica, he got people dancing and singing along. He was great and we can't wait to have him back at another party!

Community Event•Reviewed on June 26, 2023•From West Bloomfield, MI

Bob was terrific! He sang a wide range of songs, ranging from pop to country to rock to "oldies". He accompanied his singing with acoustic guitar, backing tracks, and even bit of harmonica (which was a fun surprise). He was friendly, too, and had a great sense of humor. People sang along, clapped, and even danced a bit to his music. I highly recommend Bob!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 21, 2023•From Monroe, MI

Absolutely wonderful! My party goers loved him. The variety of music, the volume of sound. We were in contact many times before my party. He requested music of interest. He offered suggestions. Very accommodating time wise. I very highly recommend Bob and I would definitely hire him again!! You can’t go wrong with Bob!! Definitely a thumbs up!

Bob truly made our church chili cook off a fantastic experience. We had many of our congregational members ask for his contact information so they could hire him for some of their personal events. We had people singing along, dancing behind their chili pots. All of his music was so enjoyed by all. We will definitely hire him again for any more of our church events....and I will hire him for any personal events that I have. Great job Bob....you were awesome!!!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 22, 2022•From Commerce Township, MI

Bob made the party and everyone loved him! He called me well ahead of time to talk about the event and make a solid playlist for us. People are still talking about what a nice addition to our party Bob’s music was. He was organized, set up early, super friendly and very talented. I would definitely hire him again!

Bob was great - he was the "icing on the cake" to my dad's 70th surprise party! Thank you Bob!

:-) Nice to be part of the fun day Jen, thanks again :-)

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 3, 2018•From Hamburg, MI

Bob really made the party! He showed up on time and entertained a crowd from 5yo to 75yo for several hours. He took very short breaks and even stayed a little past his end time to accommodate the last few crowd requests. Great service. I will definitely be booking Bob again for our next party!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 23, 2018•From Bloomfield Hills, MI

Booking Bob was the best thing I could have done for our smallish (20 ppl.) birthday party for my dad's 75th! He was engaging, fun, able to read the crowd and play to all age groups. He's sharp with music recollection! Thank you, Bob! It was so much fun! I'd book again in a heartbeat!

:

Thank you Jennifer, I was honored to play for your family celebration and merge my music and energy with the fun and food. What a nice group of people. ( PS> I heard someone singing that high violin part during the chorus of the slow Elvis song. It sounded great ! :-)

Celebration•Reviewed on July 5, 2017•From Grosse Ile, MI

This is our second time booking with Bob, and I'm so glad we were able to get in contact with him. He's great at reading the vibe of the party and changing music accordingly. He's been very flexible at both of our events and always plays a great selection. We got nothing but compliments on the music.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 11, 2017•From Rochester, MI

Simply wonderful!!!!! If there were 6 stars Bob would get them!!! Not only is he talented but he is intuitive, friendly and a kind soul. He is thoughtful in his preparation and gregarious with his interactions. I hired him for my mom's 75th birthday tea party and everyone was thrilled and left so happy and uplifted! Thank you Bob for making a special time extra special...memories we will not forget!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 16, 2016•From Plymouth, MI

Bob was wonderful from beginning to end. He really made our birthday celebration special. He was promp, professional, and catered to the crowd. He was very accommodating as the party was being coordinated from out of town. I had several people come and ask for his information.

:

Beth, I am truly appreciative of your kind words and being around such genuinely nice people. It was a fun night. Best to you.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 27, 2023•From Milford, MI

Bob wanted to quit playing my event early because he did not get the amount of applause he wanted. The lack of professionalism was astounding. He also did not try to interact with the crowd at all so I am not sure what kind of response he was looking for. Music and singing was good, his lack of professionalism was very disappointing.

:

In 8 years of playing solo gigs, this was the worse crowd I've ever encountered. I DID try to interact with them but I've never seen such a bunch of stuck up snobs gathered in one place. Zero eye contact. I tried to engage the audience by introducing songs, or commenting on songs, but I was ignored, like I wasn't even there. I played for 2 1/2 hours without a single clap and at that point I asked if I should even go on playing. Nice people usually asked if I'd like to eat but not them. I've received nothing but compliments wherever I play so YES, I did expect some appreciation. This negative review is totally false. Thanks for ruining my 100% positive feedback.
