Pete played at my husband's birthday party! He was prompt, kind, flexible and extremely talented. Due to poor weather conditions Pete was willing to move inside, and then back outside after the storm had passed. His set list was perfect and set the tone for the party. He even finished with leading the group in singing Happy Birthday! We would strongly recommend hiring Pete for your next event.
