Several of my guests said the exact same thing, that they thought I had a professional mariachi playing from my sound system because the music was so flawless. They also accommodated several requests from guests and knew all of the songs. I handed out at least 10 of their business cards to guests. They were so impressed. Will definitely be hiring them again for my next occasion. Thank you also to the owner Ivan for being so courteous and professional!

I love the Mariachi! They played on my 60th birthday party just last week and they were a hit!!read more

Patricia is a brilliant Renaissance woman. She is what you get when you mix technical excellence…read moreand style with humility, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to the craft. She is simply the best! I feel incredibly lucky to have met Patricia and begun my singing journey with her. I've been a student at Studio Shanks since 2018, when I was fresh out of college and looking for a voice teacher who could earnestly teach me how to sing. At the time, there were flashy online ads for folks that could "make you a superstar" and all of it felt so loud and nothing seemed to fit. At one point Patricia returned my call. Immediately I knew that she was the right teacher for me. It was obvious that she is not just naturally fun and easygoing, but also a true technician when it comes to the craft of singing. It's been a few years since we began working together. I've discovered that singing is something that can be learned at any age. It requires hard work, but it can be done. Luckily, Patricia is entirely dedicated to the growth and success of her students. Knowing this makes it much easier to bring my own effort during and between classes. I am honestly amazed at how, despite having worked with many respected luminaries in the field, Patricia remains humble and always with a sense of humor that puts me at ease. She is everything that comprises a professional artist and educator. What I love most is that she cuts through the noise and focuses on pure foundations. That means that she is able to work with vocalists ranging from the most contemporary pop styles to opera to musical theatre and beyond. All kinds of singing require the same basic knowledge of healthy and safe vocal techniques. At Studio Shanks, everything counts and everything matters. Thank you so much, Patricia!

She played beautifully at our wedding ceremony. My husband wanted his entrance and our walk down the aisle together to specific songs. Diana was able to find the sheet music and executed the songs perfectly. I wanted specific music for my entrance. (It was a melody of my favorite Tim Burton songs).

Días después, me dijeron que cometieron un error y que la fecha ya no estaba disponible. Esto me dejó buscando reemplazo a última hora. La comunicación fue deficiente y no sentí que asumieran responsabilidad por el inconveniente causado. No los recomendaría a nadie que busque un servicio confiable. Tu evento merece algo mejor. English: I trusted this band after they confirmed my event date was secured. I even followed up, and they reassured me it was reserved. Days later, they told me they made a mistake and the date was no longer available. This left me scrambling to find a replacement at the last minute. Communication was poor, and I didn't feel they took accountability for the inconvenience caused. I would not recommend them to anyone looking for dependable service. Your event deserves better.

They looked fantastic in white sequined outfits. And their musicality was amazing - upbeat, beautiful vocals and instrumentals, and such lively and beautiful musicians. They played a special playlist with so many great songs. And they pivoted so gracefully when I changed the order of events unexpectedly. Chrissy Marquez is so friendly and easy to work with in developing the program, and she's awesome on drums. Jonesy sings and dances with the best energy. We loved Rosie and Jesi on guitar, Ruri on saxophone, and Akane on keyboard. My friends danced all night, as did I, and they said it was the best party they had ever experienced. This is a mega-talented group, and I'd recommend that you book all six together for a powerful sound.

Keith has been instrumental (no pun intended) in my growth and his dynamic nature of teaching made it so it was always productive and fun as he would cater the lesson to my interests. 10/10 - Highly recommend!

I already knew she can sing, but would she be able to "hold the crowd" on her own as the solo performer, cuz we like to dance and can be a bit judgy. We took the (low-risk) chance and she did not disappoint! She knows a wide range of songs, appealing to a wide audience. I have to say, that she needed no guidance at all. She sings like an angel, and also has the huge pipes of a seasoned rock-and-roller. Holy hell, she was fire!

HIRE MORGAN!…read more Seriously. Hire Morgan. He is better than a DJ. The entire experience was like hanging out with a friend who likes really good music and knows how to get a group to have the best time ever. The most magical moment of our wedding was on the dance floor at the end of the night... somehow Morgan ws able to string songs together that got every single person we love to gather around us, sing at the top of their lungs and dance like crazy people. I swear that my heart exploded at that moment because I was just so overwhelmed with the incredible moment he created. Oh, and he just happened to take amazing photos and share them with me. So if you hire Morgan, you get a: DJ, emcee, photographer and friend. Score.

The things I appreciated the most about Morgan were his professionalism, responsiveness, and organizational skills. Not only did he travel to our venue for a pre-wedding meeting (during which he sat us down and discussed all pertinent details), he also checked in numerous times leading up to the big day and created detailed Google Doc that I could access. It made us feel very comfortable and happy with our choice! During the wedding he played an awesome variety of music including many songs that I had suggested. He listened to all of my requests and did a great job as the MC. Even though we had a small-ish wedding and had a separate outdoor gathering area, he managed to keep the crowd on the dance floor all night! Morgan has great style and will work with your wants and needs to create the perfect wedding playlist.
