Well received and we definitely will have her back for next year.
Erin is an absolute must hire! She, along with other artists that she arranged, provided music for our ceremony and reception. The ceremony was outside in a garden and Erin's music was the perfect compliment. She helped us choose the right music and offered great suggestions. Our reception was outside under a tent. Erin and her band played a variety of amazing music and had the dance floor packed all night. Our friends and family raved about how fun the music was and repeatedly asked where we found such a brilliant band. Thank you so much for a really wonderful wedding day!!!
Response from Erin Krebs:
We had so much fun! It was great getting to know you and make music for you and your guests! Thank you so much for the review!
We hired Erin for our wedding ceremony this past weekend and she did a wonderful job! Very easy to work with and made the songs flow so beautifully. We had a lot of people afterwards asking about her, they were very impressed. I would absolutely recommend her!
Response from Erin Krebs:
Hi Megan, congrats on your wedding and thank you so much for the review! I had a great time preparing for and singing during your wedding. It was a wonderful ceremony! Thank you for having us.

I have been 'stalking' Erin for years. I have always been enchanted when I have had the pleasure to experience the gifts that Erin so completely shares with her audience. So, when I was planning my wedding, it was a must that she and Jeff be a part of it. They gave us exactly what we asked. "Do what you do" is what I said. I gave her no direction. I didn't need to. She is brilliant and our guest are still speaking about the 'people who played' at the wedding.
In my opinion Erin will fast become a legend in the local jazz scene. Her mesmeric presence is undeniable in person, her approach to vocalizing strikes me as comparatively formal with a lushness that is hard to describe. Erin also adds a touch of humor which helps her to connect with her audience. She makes phrasing decisions on the fly as any great improviser might. Erin reminds me so much of Sarah Vaughan that if I close my eyes I confuse the two. If you get a chance to see her and don't you're making a mistake in my humble opinion.
Erin did an amazing job performing for our cocktail hour at our wedding reception. She was the highlight of entertainment and the guests loved her, she really set the mood for the night!
I love listening to Erin. She has this AMAZING voice that moves you and keeps you wanting more! You can never have enough of her. It's powerful mixed with gracefulness. She is so talented, I would recommend her for any event.
Erin is an exceptional performer! Her vocals are sensual, moving, and unforgettable. I must have heard her over a hundred times, and she just gets better and better. If you're looking for a professional, tasteful, and glamorous jazz & blues singer, Erin is your girl. A definite steal for the most happening parties and musical events, you won't be sorry.
I have seen Erin many times. She is an amazing entertainer and puts her heart and soul into each song. The girl CAN sing and you will leave with a very happy feeling.Whatever style of music she sings, she brings you there and time stops. By yourself or with a group , you will always have a wonderful time.
I have been a fan of Erin's for years. I've heard her sing many times in a variety of settings; performing as part of a duo or with a larger group of musicians. Not only are her vocals technically flawless, she brings each song to life with her vocal interpretations, taking the audience from happiness to sweet melancholy and everything in between. People leave feeling as if they know her personally thanks to her heartfelt performances. I would highly recommend Erin Krebs.
The music was absolutley perfect. Jeff and Erin sang through dinner and then added a trio for the dance portion. We had so many wonderful compliments on their music. the mix was great for slow dancing and some fast tunes. Everyone loved them and of course the bride and groom enjoyed every minute. They were also so easys to work with and met all of our requests with a smile and immediate attention. would recommend them to anyone!
