We had Gooch play at our holiday party and they were a smashing success. Every one loved them and people danced, laughed and sang along with the band. I would recommend them with absolutely no reserve.

I hired Gooch to surprise my parents for their 40th wedding anniversary. Trying to celebrate this milestone during the pandemic was challenging but he made everything easy and seamless. Not only was he an excellent singer, he was communicative, professional, and even went out of his way to pick up a bouquet of flowers for them before he arrived. I highly recommend him!

Mike will dazzle you with his trumpet playing, and then he will flip with you with his voice singing a lot of the Sinatra/Darrin tunes. He can do anywhere from a single to his 16 piece jazz band playing all of the big band music. His CD is fantasic and he is the total package!
