Jeff is great guy all around, definitely gets the party started!! He helped bring my moms “surprise” party one to remember, he was a hit!! Thank you Jeff :)
We were thrilled to engage the JR Hardy Duo for our annual corporate Christmas party. Jeff is a fabulous musician, and was a pleasure to deal with throughout the planning and load in process. Our guests loved his style, and very friendly interface. Special mention to his pianist- Jean Carlo- together they nailed it. Thanks Jeff- we will see you next year!!
Big thank you and big praises to Jeff. He was so friendly and personable before getting started. He could make friends with anyone!! Jeff read the room perfectly and provided the perfect music to make the vibe of the night perfect.
Response from JR Hardy:
Thank you so much for booking me for your event and for your hospitality, Diane :) You, Stephan and your friends were so welcoming and friendly! You coordinated the party perfectly. Really nice way to celebrate the holidays with friends and family. I hope to see you all again—thank you!
I hired The Cosmic Saints to play our corporate event for 350 people. They were fun, respectful, and sounded amazing! They were on time, professional, and the audience enjoyed their choice of music. The volume level was perfect. We had unsolicited positive feedback from everyone at the event. I will definitely book them again for future events at our venue!

Response from JR Hardy:
We had a great time performing for your group, Giacomo. The venue was fantastic and the audience was a lot of fun. Thank you for booking us and for your genuine hospitality. We hope to play for you again—thank you for the good words!
I have booked this band previously for our major open house weekend with over 2500 visitors. Cosmic Saints delivered the goods! Great song selection, corporate friendly without losing the cool factor. Fun banter in between songs but not too chatter. Good interaction with the crowd. Super easy to work with and kept the energy high for the entire event. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again.
