I had seen Mike perform a few times around town and at a friend's party, so I knew he had the talent and a good sound. When I hired him, I then found out that he's well-spoken, punctual, and professional. What a guy. This was for a milestone birthday party. Mike set the right vibe, without making it a concert. He even graciously let me take the mic for a special song for the birthday girl. The party was a great success, partly thanks to Mike.
Response from Michael Chap Edward:
Such a great vibe and experience!
Thank you very much.
Mike was amazing, professional, and early for load-in! We discussed types of music for the event and he was able to read the room and go with it. Our guests loved every moment and commented on how great he was. I will definitely be booking him again.
Response from Michael Chap Edward:
Thank you so much Brandi! It was a wonderful event. I look forward to working with you and your company again. Regards Michael
Michael’s performance at our school’s Fiesta this past weekend was AMAZING. Perfect song choices and a set list that everyone enjoyed. He was great with the kids and definitely had everyone singing along. We can’t wait to have him back next year!
Response from Michael Chap Edward:
Thank you so much Elizabeth. It was a wonderful experience all around.
We had a mixed crowed age range from 30-55 and Michael was able to entertain everyone and continually keep everyone on the dance floor! I would highly recommend Michael for your next event!! Thanks again and we can’t wait to book you next time!
It is always a pleasure to have Michael perform at our business. He is professional, friendly, and enjoyable to have play. He can entertain a crowd with his wide array of musical knowledge. We have been working with Michael for almost two years and will gladly continue to book him.
Response from Michael Chap Edward:
Trisha, McClain Cellars is always a wonderful place to play. The staff is fantastic and always make me feel welcome. Looking forward to many more performances there. Thank you so much.
Michael performed at our staff holiday luncheon. He was punctual, and was not quick to rush out the door at the end like some performers do. We got many compliments from staff on his holiday music selection. He also had good timing as to when to play music & sing or when to fall silent so other event happenings could go on. I would highly recommend Michael for your event.
Response from Michael Chap Edward:
Thank you very much Chelsea. It was an honor to perform, for the Fountain Valley Police, Fire and fellow city department employees. A great group of people and wonderful event all around !
Michael was punctual and very prepared. He did a amazing job of just keeping the entertainment lively, but not overbearing. I highly recommend him and will be using him in the future.
Response from Michael Chap Edward:
Hello Mase, thank you very much. It was such a great vibe, along with great people. Really glad to be a part of it.
Michael performed for our Foundation Gala and was WONDERFUL. Our guest enjoyed his singing and guitar plying while they mingled and perused our silent auction. They even felt so inclined to start dancing. Michael helped to make our event a huge success!
Response from Michael Chap Edward:

We hired Michael to perform at our reception, and he was wonderful!!! His voice is awesome! If I had the time, I'd just sit and listen to him sing all day. He had a great song selection. My guests sang along with him, and they said he should try out American Idol:) He helped create the vibe I wanted my guests to feel. He arrived early, was very accomedating, and is just a really kind person you'd want to get to know. Hire the man, he's the best! Thank you Michael!!
Response from Michael Chap Edward:
Thank you for the kind words Angela. Thank you very much, for allowing me to be a part of your special day. Great people and a wonderful event.
Where do I begin! He is professional, and every guest loves his voice. We have hired him for wedding cocktail hours, baby showers, engagement dinners. Every client loves him!!!!!
Response from Michael Chap Edward:
Thank you very much Melissa. It is always a pleasure performing @ your events.
Hired Michael to play at my parents 40th wedding anniversary and he was the talk of the party. He played oldies my parents and their friends loved but new/recognizable songs even the 30 something crowd enjoyed. Plus, all the grandkids danced around him while he played and he was sooooo nice about it. In short, his voice is beautiful, good personality, and professional. I will hire him again!
Response from Michael Chap Edward:
Thank you very much, for the kind words Barbors. It was a great event. I appreciate you letting me be a part of it.
We had a backyard dinner/cocktail party last Friday for 75 people and Michael did an Amazing job. He felt the vibe of the crowd and played the right music to create the perfect ambiance. He showed up early to set up too. Will definitely use him again!
Response from Michael Chap Edward:
