Joseph and his band played our wedding in August 2023, and they were excellent. We were looking for jazz standards along with a couple of requests for dances, etc. Joseph provided an awesome set list that fit what we were looking for. He was easy to work with and the day of the event was seamless with setup, breaks, etc. The music created a great vibe and everyone really enjoyed having them there. Highly recommend, and looking forward to hearing them play around town in the future.
