Jacob and Chelsea grew a social media following from 1000 followers to over half a million in a little less than a year with their fun (and often funky) approach to reimagining and harmonizing a wide range of songs, like Billy Joel’s “Movin Out” and “Just The Way You Are,” or Adele’s “All I Ask.” They specialize in crafting their arrangements to get the most out of each song and performance, and are continuously pushing the upper limits of how much fun two people can have playing music. 

Wendlo can get the party moving with their upbeat, electric guitar/drum pad arrangements, break your heart with their harmonies and acoustic two-guitar performances, or fill the space with whatever arrangement suits the atmosphere!

“Folk songs for lonely tumbleweeds" is the self-description of Texas "badass" fiddler, singer, and songwriter Nicole Ridgwell. She opened one of her sets with "Don't Let Me Go Back," just her and her fiddle, alternating instrument and vocals. If one were to invent a story about Ridgwell, it would be this song, with its sense of exile from a small town, the shame of returing. (She lives in Austin, Texas.) She's got a full-throated voice, not afraid to push it to her limits.

Mary Moore is a folk-pop/indie-pop artist living in Nashville, TN. With powerhouse vocals and storytelling lyrics, she has been captivating stages and connecting to people from all walks of life. Mary’s vocals are comparable to the power of Brandi Carlile and Florence + The Machine, but also with the sweet, quirkiness of Regina Spektor.

Mary’s debut EP “Rooted Heart” was released in the summer 2019, the songs gushing with imagery of the natural world and showcasing Mary’s writing and vocal chops.  The title track “Redwoods” was promoted on NPR “All Things Considered” blog, helping the song and Mary reach a new audience. Mary followed up the EP release with a tour all over the US, playing house concerts. 

Mary's live performance is well suited for a lot of different environments. Her tenured guitar skills will back up her big voice and can really fill a room. Mary grew up singing in a classic rock band, so she can crush some dad-rock and Adele covers!

We booked Anthony & Jasmine as the entertainment for a birthday celebration for our Pastor & First Lady at Divine Faith Ministries and this duo did an awesome job! From the song choices to being engaging with the audience to the soulful tunes.

Jasmine was the songstress while Anthony serenaded the audience with his saxophone. Everyone enjoyed the performance so much that our First Lady asks if they were available for a future event.  They were already booked on the date needed, so I know I have to put my requests in early for this talented duo when I need soothing and exciting entertainment.

We had over 60 people at the party, and everyone was raving about the music. Thank you so much for making our daughter's engagement party such a special event!
