“Adam Day was wonderful and all of us thoroughly enjoyed his music. What a great guy!”

“Dope, tight harmonies that are missing in today’s modern a cappella sound- HIVE SLAYS”

“Thank you [Todd Carey] again for putting on such a great show for us. As an event planner, nothing spells success like having a full house, students staying to talk with the artist and smiling faces as they leave. I really appreciate your professionalism, courteousness, and showmanship that went into making this event such a winner for [us].”

“The students were asking for him to come back before he’d [Todd Carey] even left campus!”

“Jake [Robertson] was a hit! …Everyone raved about him, not just his music, but his personality. He spent time with the students before and after and did autographs on CDs for everyone. I’d like to take a look at his band. we have a spring weekend event…and I think the students would like to see Jake back.”

“Jake [Robertson] was very receptive to the students and they thoroughly enjoyed the program!”

“Everything went well with the event and he was great to work with! The crowd really enjoyed his music and he was very interactive with the crowd. I have enjoyed working with you and Jake [Robertson]!!”

“Jim [Wolf] was absolutely amazing. He exceeded all my expectations. Along with sounding wonderful, he was very friendly and his stage presence and interaction with the audience was great.”

“The event went very well. Jim [Wolf] is a pleasure to work with. The students really enjoyed his performance. At these events we often have trouble getting students to react to performers but Tuesday night that was not a problem. Jim is great at engaging with the students and the majority of the night was full of applause (which unfortunately is rare) and students singing along to his performance.”

“It [Silent Disco] was a huge hit!! The students seemed to enjoy it and it brought out students that do not normally attend events.”

Lijie is a pleasure to work with and there was a great turn out of students especially considering the weather we were expecting. Thank you for providing us with a great night of entertainment.”

“The students LOVED Mikki [Hommel]! We have received several emails from students asking when we will be bringing her back.”

“She [Mikki Hommel] was one of the most unique performers I believe we’ve had thus far at the event series and really entertained and engaged the crowd. Overall it was a wonderful event thanks to her and a pleasure for everyone here to work with!”

“…Mikki [Hommel] was by far my favorite performer we have had all semester! Her voice and songs are absolutely breathtaking, yet so powerful and I loved how to wasn’t shy and talked and joked with u[s]…Mikki went as far to do three improv songs by asking for suggestions from the audience which have never had happen!! We would absolutely book Mikki again!!!!”

“The event [Silent Disco] was amazing, very easy to run and the students absolutely love it!!! We will definitely have it again!”

“The event went really well it was kind of smaller than expected. However, Nico [Franc] was a huge hit and Clarion would really love to have him back to perform. Thank you so much for working with me and the rest of our UAB members here at Clarion!”

“Shanice [Green] was so nice and welcoming, our students enjoyed her performance! We ran the event in a way where students acted as Shanice’s opener…When Shanice was on stage, she encouraged the students to participate in a “jam session” with her. At one point in time, there was a student with a ukelele, one on the piano, another with a flute, and another with a clarinet all playing along with her on stage… Basically, the students in attendance really enjoyed themselves.”

“Silent Disco is literally the best! We’re definitely putting it on the calendar for the fall of 2019.”

“Our students loved Nico [Franc]! They shared he was polite, personable, and really engaged the audience. We hope the experience was just as enjoyable for him.”

J8ke was awesome! So professional and fun to work with.

“Lijie was a very wonderful person to meet and conversate with. She really connected with a certain group of students and they had a great time.”

“It went really smoothly, all things considered. I had 2 groups of students, 11 all together, sign up ahead of time and all show up to the zoom on time. The music was cool, some of the girls were dancing and they all seemed to be chatting via phone, but on mute. She had enough time to draw me and my husband. So that was fun. She did a great job considering what she was working with!”
