“Michael was beyond remarkable! From the moment I reached out, his level of attentiveness to gather all details of my event, down to the day of arriving, was nothing short of professional! I found Michael to be timely, organized and best of all – AWESOME! He entertained a party of 75 for my company – and everyone left with smile on their faces and raved about his performance. One last thing I found to be super important was that Michael knew how to read the room, and picked up on cues, knowing exactly what to play, when to play, and how to execute it. We will be working together again, for sure!”

"Michael Also is an excellent musician and was easily one of the highlights of our wedding. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process - he helped coordinate with our venue, planned his performance with meticulous detail, learned our first dance in a few weeks (and crushed it) and even played us down the aisle on a moment's notice when our pre-recorded music wouldn't play. Our guests still talk about how much fun they had dancing and singing along with Michael all night."

"The minute Michael strummed his first chord and sang that first note, we knew he was top notch. Michael added so much to a very special milestone birthday party. I would recommend Michael to anyone needing an amazing musician & a totally nice person."

"Michael was a pleasure to work with and perfectly executed exactly what I envisioned for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He was communicative throughout the entire process, was on time, and everyone enjoyed his performance. He even learned a new song just for our big day! You would be lucky to have him at your next event."

"We first heard Michael play at a North Fork winery. We so enjoyed listening and talking with him that day. After playing a song request from someone, Green Day’s “Good Riddance” (the song my son and I danced to at his wedding), I took his card and hired him for my husband's 70th birthday party. I am so happy I did! Michael answered all my emails quickly and made booking easy for me. The day of the party he was on time and set up easily. He has a wonderful voice and personality. Everyone enjoyed listening and hearing him play. No song request was denied. His patience with our grandchildren was very much appreciated. We will definitely be hiring him again. Thank you Michael, we will see you again soon."

"Thank you so much for everything. Our night at Jason's Vineyard was perfect! We had such a great time, and so did all of our guests. Everyone is still raving about it, and we had the best time closing out the night singing and dancing on the deck with our best friends :) Thank you for playing such a big part in our very memorable night. We can't wait to see you again soon!"
