We hired Chris Knox, Jr. to play music for my best friend's Air Force retirement party. Chris and…read morehis lovely wife are kind and humble people. They visited our home in advance (at no charge or obligation) to get a feel for the place, select a place for him to perform, and confirm the music set list, which he had e-mailed to us in advance. Chris is himself retired from the Air Force and a former member of Tops in Blue, a touring performance ensemble made up of active duty members of the United States Air Force formed in 1953. Chris plays gigs as a member of The Azul Experience, a three-piece band. However, for our party, he played electric guitar and sang with a backing musical soundtrack. He arrived early and set up unobtrusively as we prepared for the party. He played well timed songs for the surprise and a touching tribute to my friend's career in the Air Force. The set list was quite varied and included everything from Kool & The Gang to Steely Dan. Everyone LOVED the music and he stayed after his performance to just hang out with us. The fee was extremely reasonable. If you need a fun musician at a fair price, look no further!

Speakeasy is kind of a maze, so I couldn't see them at first, but I could tell after just a few bars that this was no recording. He wasn't just tickling the ivories; he was making sweet, sweet love to them. Coupled with the sexy crooning of Ms. Hoar, this was one lucky piano, and we were quite a fortunate audience. If you're organizing a party and want to turn the classiness up to an 11, I highly recommend him.

But it was an amazing experience. First, you don't need to be an artist to go. You can just have a fun experience with friends, family or your partner. Secondly, the engineer had great energy and made us feel comfortable. The facilities were fantastic. You have the option to perform a cover song or write your own song. My friends and I laughed for hours while here and the engineer provided us with the music we created. Definitely a unique and fun experience.
