Kevin (aka Recycleman) made my daughter's birthday party a huge hit! All party goers, young and…read moreold, had a blast playing music with his extraordinary up-cycled instruments. And Kevin had a great rapport with the kids, even orchestrating musical chairs! If you're looking for fabulous, organic entertainment for a kid's party, Recycleman can come to the rescue! What a treasure for the community.

His name is Kevin Kinane, but the kids call him Recycle Man. Why? Well, he's one of Those People…read more One of those rare people who've figured it out, found their groove in this existence, and want to share it. Kevin likes percussion, he likes rhythm, and he takes exceptional joy in sharing his beats with kiddos. And he should be your band at your next kiddo birthday jam. That is, if you prefer substance over... inflatable jumpers. Reclaiming is only half his gig, but here's why he's Recycle Man. Over the years, Kevin has assembled a swath of objects, from pots and pans to wands and sticks and twangy strings, and he'll bring a mobile bang unit of this stuff to your event, and emphasize -- while he's teaching his audience to harmonize -- that he found all of this in the flotsam of the discarded world. Anybody recall Spoonman, by Soundgarden? That song was based on a real dude, in Seattle, who plays spoons. Recycle Man has spoons, too, and quite a few other tricks up his sleeve. Someone should give him a theme song. Kevin also brings a huge cache of drums to his events and gets everyone, young and old, involved. He's a teacher and, moreover, something of a mentor. I've watched him handle two birthday parties with varying formats and man, the guy really maintained a structure for the fun and kept everybody engaged. Look, you could host your party at some crappy video game & pizza joint, you know what that costs. Or you could pick your favorite park, and bring a cake, and let Recycle Man run the show, at about half the cost. And your kids will be drumming on your pans and coffee pots and bathroom tiles and whatever else they can reclaim for a groove, for evermore.

He rolled with it and gave me confidence about us moving the ceremony indoors, while leaving the DJ & dance floor outdoors undercover. He had already had a cool & calming effect on every aspect of planning leading up to the big day. He went above & beyond every step of the way! And, he is a great DJ! He has a good-looking set up and kept the energy up all evening long. As a bonus, with such trust in him, we hired his wife to be our day-of coordinator. We didn't have a wedding planner, and needed a day-of traffic controller. She handled the move inside, the guests, 6 vendors, and a water shut-off crisis beautifully! The most positive experience!

I've been an event planner for 35 years and have worked events all over the world and his responsiveness, professionalism and on-site presence was incredible and I would rate him as one of my top vendors.

I highly recommend DJ Evan, Red Sapphire Entertainment for his excellent service and will hire him time and time again!

I met Susan at a ABQ Open Space Concert. She adorned me with a great Spider on my right cheek…read more (Yes, my face!) I was first in line, but there were a number of young children lined up behind me who were in total awe of my spider. I headed back to the music, but I should have stayed to see what else Susan created . . . did any of the children get a spider too? Susan is available for a variety of events - "parties, corporate events, grand openings, baby & bridal showers" - plus she does "glitter parties". I'm not even sure what glitter parties are, but they sound like fun. (Perhaps you would want to do them outside . . . . imagine cleaning up afterwards?) I may have to schedule a "glitter party" just for fun!

Susan is incredible. In SO many ways! A true artist and extremely kind person! Her work is amazing!…read more #hiresusangomez
