They are truly A+++++. You will not be disappointed in booking The Nines as they are worth every penny and more.

I'm thrilled for my son and so thankful that Greg is a part of our journey. Greg has help Kj be able to express himself musically and it is so rewarding to watch Kj's progress! It's such a blessing to see Kj be proud of something and he is doing so well play the guitar thanks to Greg! My youngest son, Jake, is 7-years-old and also doing an amazing job playing the guitar since working with Greg also! Greg is incredibly talented in getting through to each individual and helping each of my sons with their very unique ways of learning. I believe Greg can teach anyone how to play the guitar well. Greg's studio is such a pleasant place to be, clean and calming. He provides a welcoming environment for his students to learn in. Thank you Greg for sharing your talents!

This is the least professional business I have ever dealt with. I tried to consign some equipment…read morewith them and everything was shady at best: 1. I was never asked what I wanted to sell things for, only told that they would sell for x amount. 2. I was never notified when things sold unless I drove to the store (no one answers the phone, and I have multiple phone records to prove this) and physically waited for someone to show up. 3. I was never shown any receipts of what things were sold for just a "i think it sold for this much" 4. Their "business hours" are literally just numbers on a door, the doors never open on time. 5. There are 0 price tags on any of the items. This means they can sell things for what they want and turn around and tell folks that have equipment consigned they it sold for considerably less. They pocket the rest. 6. There is a wall of filled out consignment slips behind the cash register which means nothing consigned is getting sold! 7. One piece of equipment that I consigned that I noticed was no longer on the sales floor, the owner told me the sales guy was "borrowing" for a gig. He "does that from time to time with some of the equipment". 8. The consignment "paperwork" was initially done on the back of a business card. That should have been a warning sign for me, but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. While I have to give the owner credit for being the shrewdest businessman I've ever dealt with (he undercut me by $150 when i needed to sell everything to them due to me moving) the whole experience cost me more in gas money and wasted time than what I was able to make from the equipment I tried to sell. It's very unfortunate that I have to write this, and also given the previous bad review on here, it makes complete sense. For anyone that wants to consign equipment, make the extra trip elsewhere. If you're looking to buy, I would definitely bring someone that can negotiate well. I genuinely think these people mean well, they just run a business that is all based on their "word".

I first saw Soul Siren by chance when I was out celebrating New Year's eve in Seattle. I had the most fun ever, dancing the night away to hits from the 70s, 80s, and today. I was blown away by the amazing sax solos, the accuracy of their covers songs, and their cool bassist/lead singer! Even though I had already booked a DJ for my upcoming wedding, I knew I wanted this band instead. I sacrificed by deposit with my DJ and it ended up being absolutely worth it. Soul Siren's rate was actually so reasonable that the total cost was less than the DJ would have been (even with the DJ deposit loss). Considering the fact that they're live musicians, that's impressive! Dave, the sax player, was my point of contact via email. I booked Soul Siren for the reception. Dave also graciously offered to also run sound for the ceremony, which was an issue I realized I hadn't resolved. He also offered to have the band play during the ceremony and cocktail hour, though I was already had a string quartet booked. It was thoughtful that he wanted to make sure I had all my bases covered. He was also organized in gathering my preferences from their song list and details for the wedding timeline. On the day of my wedding, everything regarding Soul Siren ran very smoothly. In fact, due to unrelated problems earlier in the day, Soul Siren ended up heroically playing some instrumental jazz on the fly while my husband and I took some photos after dinner. The sound during the outdoor ceremony was perfect, and they also did an amazing job at MCing the first dances, anniversary dance, etc. The dance floor was full all night, and everyone told me afterwards that they had the BEST time. It was the perfect mix of songs that appealed to both generations. And I must say, having the saxophone also adds a classy touch! It was clear to me that Soul Siren has TONS of experience with weddings. I am a music teacher by profession, and I hold their level of musicianship in high regard. The musicians and non-musicians of my family were all impressed. If you have any reservations about getting a DJ, book Soul Siren instead and you will be 1000x happier!
