Thanks Julie! We have a great time playing for you all!
Mike came early to set up and played the piano fabulously. Definitely made the event that much more magical (for a private Christmas party). Everyone enjoyed the music and cheer he brought and he even stayed a bit to enjoy the evening with us. We highly recommend Mike to anyone who wants a friendly, professional, and amazing musician to add to their party. Will definitely hire Mike again for a future event. Thanks, Mike!
Our singing Pianist, Mike Bell, was the best. Mike has a wonderful voice, interacted with the guest, and made the party so much fun!! Very professional and personable . I would hire him again. Thank You, Mike

Thanks Judy. It was our pleasure to help make the celebration special!
Wow! We hired Sandi Bell Duo for an Country Western Event at a Senior Facility in Sunnyvale. Sandi and Mike came well ahead of time, set up, played some background music, and started on time. They knew the tunes, interacted with the audience and took several requests. Sometimes Sandi did lead vocals, sometimes Mike, and sometimes they harmonized. One lady I sat with said she was 94, from West Virginia. She asked if they played the John Denver song about West Virginia. We looked it up, and asked for 'Take me home, country roads'. The Sandi Bell Duo performed it as it was part of the planned set. The lady teared up during the song. It was beautiful. People complemented me on hiring them and asked me afterwards to hire them back again soon. I sure will. Again, Sandi Bell is the real deal: She's riding a horse, she sings both cover tunes and original tunes, and she's nice!

Thank you Rick... what a nice event! Thanks for including us and for your generous tip :)
Sandi
What a duo! Sandi wasn't available but partnered with Mike in the background to help fill our need. Mike flew solo entertaining our small crowd as a keyboard playing vocalist. He was also game to accompany my dad who stole Mike's mic to render a few of his favorites. Thanks for playing along (no pun) and helping us celebrate my dad's milestone.
Singing Pianist
This is the first time I have used this service and I was blown away at how quick and easy it was. Sandi contacted me immediately and was so friendly and professional to work with! They showed up early in full country attire and got busy setting up. When they started playing, I was impressed with their sound and it added so much to our event! They made the event so special, even singing a song about my son's pet Rooster "Rango" that he was cradling in his arms :) I am so grateful for the memories that we created that day, which Sandi and her husband helped create the fun, family atmosphere that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us!
Country Band
It was an absolute pleasure working with Sandi Bell on our commercial campus tenant event. She was professional and responded to my questions and needs immediately. I never had to worry about following up on things. She and Mike came to set up early, looked sharp in their outfits, started performing promptly, kept the audience entertained with a good mix, and a variety of songs and back stories. They helped us hype up our pie eating contest, and most importantly both Sandi and Mike had great voices and a beautiful sound. They were very enjoyable and a pleasure to have! I would employ their services in a heartbeat.
Country Singer
Sandi was wonderful to work with from start to finish. The music was of professional quality and tailored to meet our needs perfectly. The chemistry between Sandi and her husband was fun to watch. The audience was very pleased. I recommend very highly!

I truly enjoyed working with Sandi. She asked questions and gave suggestions which helped greatly with event planning on a budget. Our event was a silent auction followed by dinner. Sandi always promptly returned calls and when she and Mike showed up for the event, they set the perfect mood. I can still hear Sandi singing "Blue Bayou" with perfect pitch and melody. I am so glad I got to know Mike and Sandi and hope to work with them again. True professionals and nice people.
Easy Listening Band
Sandi was a pleasure to work with from initial contact through the performance. We hired Sandi for a community event with the City of Mountain View. The performance was flawless, but how could it not be with her voice. Everyone present commented on how fabulous the event turned out. I would highly recommend Sandi for events, big or small.
Sandi and her band did a very wonderful performance. Over 200 guests amazed with their music, asking me where I got this band from. 5 star performance in any weather . Sandi and her band captured crowd's attention.
Party Band
Sandi played at my 50th Birthday party. Having a great live band made my event very special. My guests danced and really enjoyed the music. I have received nothing but compliments from all who were there.
I hope to have Sandi play for my next party.

We had Sandi sing for our families as they enjoyed some time relaxing outside and played games on the lawn. They loved Sandi's fun playlist and her interaction with the kids. At one point, she got them up on the stage and handed them instruments so they could play along. Great music, great people, great fun!
