The guitarist and saxophonist were an outstanding combination! The party goers were thoroughly impressed and enjoyed every minute of it.
1940s Era Entertainment
Brad was hired for our anniversary party of 60 guests to enhance the ambiance and atmosphere of the occasion. The guests were all ages from 4 to 80 yrs many of whom hadn't seen each other for many years, and they enjoyed being able to mingle and talk while brad played. Brads style and selection of music and performance was perfect. highly recommend him!

About
“Brad was the perfect addition to our event. We added the drummer option and it rounded out the sound beautifully. They played inside during dinner and the sound was just right - the volume was perfect and the speaker he uses really distributes the sound, so the people sitting closest to the band could still talk comfortably. He was professional and responsive. We will use Brad again.”
Kristen (Event Coordinator, The Independence Fund, Charlotte, NC)
“Dressler's Restaurants have had the pleasure of working with Brad Bailey for three years. Brad is an incredibly talented musician who we have relied upon more than any other act. He seems to have other talented musicians gravitate towards him as well which has led to some really impressive trios. The Metlive Stage at the Metropolitan Complex is a large space that caters to a varied group of people. Brad has always read the crowd well and received nothing but praise from our patrons. Brad is a consummate professional and we would be happy to provide any recommendation needed.”
Tim (General Manager, Dressler’s Restaurant, Charlotte, NC)
"Brad Bailey was the perfect addition to Charlotte magazine's annual Top Doctors party. He was very professional and played right up to the end even after everyone was gone and we were packing up. We will def use him again."
Casey (Director of Marketing and Audience Development, Morris com)

Brad and his partner were unbelievable. They truly carried the event and were so good. I can’t tell you how many people complimented them and now even our wedding coordinator is putting them on her preferred list. Thank you so much for everything.”

"Brad, we cannot thank you enough for providing the music during cocktail hour before the rehearsal dinner at Charlotte Country Club. You are so extremely talented, and who knew that anyone could get that amazing sound from a banjo? Your song selection was fabulous, and please accept our heartfelt thanks for helping to make the event even more special."
Mary (Mother of the groom, Charlotte, NC)
"Of all the numerous good musicians that perform in our music room weekly, Brad Bailey brings a powerful performance of jazz and special string arrangements with his 8 sting instrument. Very cool music from a very talented and skillful musician."
Mike (Owner, 202 North Main Music Room, Mooresville, NC)

Dana (Bride, Concord, NC)

He will always be my go-to singer/musician artist for all my future exhibitions. I highly recommend this talented man. He won’t disappoint. He’s that good!!!” Jay (Museum Curator, Davidson, NC)
