Thank you Joseph and his band! They played at my daughters roaring 20’s Quinceañera and everyone loved them! They were on time and the music sounded great and fit the theme. I would definitely partner with them again and highly recommend. Great job!

I hired Joseph Luna and his band for a Gatsby themed party in La Jolla, CA.
Joseph and his guys are pros, they truly delivered. They were also kind enough to let our young niece perform a song with them.
