Private PartyReviewed on August 26, 2019From Philadelphia, PA

Michael is a terrific musician. He played at our Tiki party in our yard this past weekend. He was prompt and had an excellent mix of songs to keep the party going. He was also accommodating and readily took requests. Our guests truly enjoyed Michael’s music.

Michael Carsley:

Thank you Donna. It was a pleasure to sing for your family and friends.
