Response from Bret Walton:
Thank you so much for your review, Mendy! It was a truly wonderful experience working with you and Berel. You are both incredibly talented and amazing human beings. I would love to work with you again!
Bret gave the best Christmas gift by stepping in at just about the last possible moment to fill in when we suddenly needed to find a substitute drummer for our big church Christmas musical. With only a day and half's notice, Bret showed up for our dress rehearsal ready to go and completely put my mind at ease. He is professional in every sense of the word: his skill; his responsiveness; his interactions with others; and his willingness to adapt and deliver exactly what we were seeking. Thank you for saving the day!

Jennifer,
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a wonderful experience working with you. I appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail. I learned so much just being able to watch you in action. You are at the top of my list of favorite people with whom I have worked.
Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. You have a great team and it was just awesome working with them. Northwoods Presbyterian is an amazing church with a great Pastor and leadership. The people are loving and made me feel right at home. Thank you for a great experience!
Bret is friendly and funny. He fits in our congregation and fellowship with us like a member of the church. Everyone likes him. We will invite him more for our events
Response from Bret Walton:
Bienvenu,
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting and working with you. Likewise, I liked everyone that I met. Everyone made me feel welcome and I really look forward to being with all of you again. What a wonderful congregation.
Bret was extremely professional. He visited the venue to ensure his equipment would be appropriate four our event. He was on time, very pleasant, and an incredible performer.
As a bandleader I expect my musicians to know their music to be on time and to have a great attitude. Brett execute all of these. Brett last minute filled in for me when a drummer called out. He was prepared, on time and eager to please. But what tops all of this is his great personality and he's an exceptional musician. I'd hire him in a heartbeat!
Response from Bret Walton:

You create a positive atmosphere and environment which motivates people to give you their best. I would love the opportunity to work for you in the future, it was an absolutely positive experience. Thank you for hiring me and treating me so well.
To anyone who may be asked to work for Lori, I encourage you to do so. She has been a professional singer for many years and her experience shows. She is simply amazing. If you are looking to hire a professional singer, I recommend calling her first. Her talent and overall attitude are the epitome of top level professionalism.
Price Range: $200 and Up
When you hire me, you will get
1) An experienced professional drummer who arrives early and prepared. I will chart the songs ahead of time and practice the material to insure the success of your event's musical presentation
2) a seasoned veteran musician who looks at the entire picture and works well with others to help facilitate the most pleasant working environment possible
