Bob’s performance was the highlight of the party. He played something for everyone and the guests were very impressed by his talent. One woman said that she felt like she had front row seats at a concert. I would definitely hire Bob for future events.

Response from Bob Skon:
Thanks Colleen! It was my pleasure performing for you and your guests.
Bob was very professional from the time of receiving a quote all the way through the performance the day of. Our buffet for the event was running a bit behind and he was very kind and waited an extra 15 minutes to start so everyone had an opportunity to go through the line and get started with their meal. Our seniors at our community senior center loved him! He did a variety of music and he even took requests from the audience as well as did an encore for them. Thanks again Bob for being so accommodating and bringing smiles to our faces with your musical performance!! Would definitely book him again in the future.

We asked Bob to play during cocktail hour and dinner before the DJ started it was perfect! He played wonderfully and even covered a 21 Pilots song for us! We had so many complements on the music. He was instrumental in setting a fun and classy vibe to our party. We regret not booking Bob for more time and less time for the DJ.

This amazing trio has performed for three of our fundraiser gala events and is always a hit. There is no "punchcard" of music, they play the gamut of upbeat, recognizable, listenable and toe-tappable numbers.
The laid-back personality of the group makes them a perfect fit for any crowd.

Bob performed at a recent client appreciation event I organized. I had several clients comment on how much they enjoyed him. He added a very special element to the atmosphere I wanted and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. He was very professional and I enjoyed dealing with him. I plan to use him again at future events.

This was the second time we had the pleasure of having Bob Skon sing at our party, this time for my sister's wedding party. My sister is a classical pianist, so we had a house full of musicians, and everyone enjoyed the music quite a bit. Beautiful voice and a great choice of songs. We will be hiring again!
Strongly recommend!

Response from Bob Skon:
Thanks Jon! It was a fun evening.
Bob's repertoire was perfect for the "Giving from the Heart" cocktails and hors' d' oeuvres event attended by a small group of civic minded business men and women. His music was unobtrusive, yet engaging. Everyone had a great time and we raised more than our goal! We would use him again!

Bob Scon is a delightful and talented singer, guitarist, and song writer! His voice is warm and inviting to the ear. The entire party enjoyed selecting favorite songs from his extensive playlist and singing along with Bob’s artful renditions. I highly recommend your checking out his videos and performances!

We had Bob perform at our wine and food festival in downtown Detroit which saw about 1,600 people and he did amazing! He never stopped singing and his covers were classics that provided a great mood for the event. Would definitely recommend booking Bob for any of your events, large or small.
