After hearing them play and be involved with the crowd, we decided to book them for a private memorial Birthday service at the cemetery in honor of my late father. We knew what we wanted beforehand and gave them a "set" to play. They played so beautifully and with so much heart. After a few songs a few family members requested some of my dads favorite songs and they knew how to play and sing them. They are a nice group of people. They are easy to get along with and are very profession and courteous at the same time. Another plus is that they were on time and ready to go. I'd definitely book them again!

*Review of: Johnny Lightfoot and The Ultimate Songwriter's Tool Kit…read moreMy experience with Johnny Lightfoot of Lightfoot Productions has been nothing short of transformative, both as a bass student and as someone interested in songwriting. Before finding Johnny, I spent two years studying with three different bass teachers and tried numerous online learning programs. While all of these instructors were talented musicians and good people, none of them truly knew how to teach. I came away from those experiences having learned very little despite investing significant time and money. Everything changed when I found Johnny and his wife, Trisha. By the end of my very first one-hour lesson, I had learned more than I had in the previous two years combined. More importantly, I immediately recognized that Johnny possessed something I had not encountered before: the ability to teach. What sets Johnny apart is that he doesn't simply show students what to play--he teaches them how to learn. That distinction made all the difference for me. Having never played an instrument before, I had always wanted to learn bass but wasn't sure I could. After that first lesson, I knew I could succeed because Johnny had broken the learning process down into clear, understandable steps. Whether you're learning bass or guitar, Johnny's system is uniquely effective because it focuses on understanding rather than imitation. Instead of memorizing information that is easily forgotten, students become active participants in the learning process. As a result, they learn more, retain more, and gain the confidence to continue progressing on their own. I have never encountered another instructor who has simplified and organized the learning process as effectively as Johnny. He has a great ability to remove the mystery and intimidation that often surround learning an instrument and replace them with practical, easy-to-follow methods that produce real results. Finding Johnny was a turning point in my musical journey. If you're serious about learning bass, guitar, or songwriting, I wholeheartedly recommend both his instruction and his book, The Ultimate Songwriter's Tool Kit. They have changed the way I learn music and given me the confidence to pursue goals I once thought were out of reach.

I would highly recommend Johnny as a teacher and guitar mentor.

Said he would replace them with new ones. Took a look at the "new" tubes they replaced and the "Apex" stickers are falling off....never seen "new" tubes do that before. Where are my "broken" tubes and the receipt for the "new" tubes? Could it be the amp tech took off with my new tubes and put in used tubes? My "hi-gain" amp sounded like blues combo amp after the bias. Very dissatisfied. All my volume nobs were exactly the same as I left them which suggest he didn't even test out the amp.

We got married in the woods in Eastern Fresno County and they managed the logistics of an out of the way wedding with ease. We paid Rachelle extra to learn a special song for our ceremony, and she knocked that out of the park.

They also ran sound for a special guest performer and did wonders with that, as well.

Instead of covering the whole video with generic acoustic background music except a few tidbits of ceremony vows, their videos included a lot of high quality recording of friend/family toasts, ceremony vows, and just background sounds that made their videos feel much more personal. When the DJ initially set up toasts in a dimly lit and awkward space, Rachelle and Shaun took the initiative to move our toasts to a much better location and set up their own lighting to make the toasts much better. They were also very accommodating with all my requests, such as sending over raw footage from the wedding within a few weeks of the wedding. We haven't gotten the full video back yet, but the raw footage already look amazing! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for DJ or videographer services!
