We so enjoyed Maria Behm's performance as the featured attraction at our May 10th Spring Tea fundraising event for the Elk Grove Historical Society in our museum garden in Elk Grove. Her vocal selections were right in keeping with the event theme of All That Jazz and audience members were singing and humming along with many of the familiar tunes. Compliments about Maria's beautiful voice and easy audience connection were offered by many of the 200-plus guests following her performance. We highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a professional performer to entertain your group with familiar songs.

Response from Maria Behm:
Thank you Richard, hope to see you again. Please point yourself out to me when you do, I'd like to say thank you again.
Our reunion group really enjoyed Maria's music. She intermingled with the guests and got them involved with her songs. Maria is an AMAZING performer. She was so easy to work with and followed through with our suggestions for the songs we requested for our fundraising dinner. Not only does Maria have a fabulous voice but she also has great timing, and stage presence. She had everyone singing and clapping along with her. Her warmth and enthusiasm as she went around to different tables and sang to individuals really enhance the show. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to any group looking for an all around entertainer with a great voice.
Response from Maria Behm:
Thank you so much for the fabulous review. I truly enjoyed your group of Military folks.
I would enjoy it again. Maria
She filled the bill for a C/W artist and her music was from a period our wine club members enjoy. I would book her again when we want to add some C/W flavor to our wine club events.
Response from Maria Behm:
Thanks so much as it was a pleasure to perform for your wine club members.
