Very professional and very talented !

My dad is a big Jewel fan, and so we had Lauren surprise him with a performance of "You Were Meant for Me" at my parents' backyard BBQ. Lauren's performance was absolutely incredible and my dad LOVED it. To add some context, Lauren had to learn the song in only 4 days since I booked her last minute. Not only was the performance phenomenal, she was also prompt, professional, and communicated well leading up to the surprise. Thank you, Lauren!
Response from Lauren Ash:
Hello Brandon! Thank you so much for the review! I was glad to be able to make your dad's 70th bday a little more special. It was great meeting you all!
Bright personality. High level of performance. Magnificent musicality. Varied genres of music.

Lauren came and played for our Members and WingHaven and everyone loved her! She is super friendly and great at communicating for the event. We have booked two more dates with her to come back and play again! :)

Lauren performed for our company holiday party. She covers a wide variety that is pleasing to all ages. Many people asked about her for their own events and were very complimentary of her. I was a bit skeptical of booking someone online but she didn't disappoint. Thanks, Lauren.
