My wife had the wonderful idea to get a band to play at my mother's 80th birthday party, and with mild trepidation I agreed. Would my mother enjoy this? Would we be able to find a band that would be interested in playing some of my mother's favorites from Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, and more? I needn't have worried. I got goosebumps when Natasha performed Roberta Flack's rendition of Killing me Softly. And I felt James Bond in the room with us when she straight owned Carly Simon's Nobody Does It Better. And I would be remiss if I did not mention that it was not an afternoon of only covers. We loved their original music too. Natasha and Steve are stars. And my mother is still talking about the experience, telling everyone that she had the best birthday surprise ever. Thank you Natasha and Steve for spending the afternoon with us and giving us such an exceptional performance.
Response from Natasha DiMarco:
Wow, Max. I'm floored by this review. Thank you so much. It was our absolute pleasure to play your mother's favorites and a day that I won't soon forget!
Natasha and Steve exude the utmost professionalism from the first contact, response time, dress for the occasion and behavior for event. Their selection of music and ability to read the crowd made for incredible fun for ages 3-75.
Response from Natasha DiMarco:
Thank you so much, Mary! We are so glad you're pleased. It was a great time!

In full disclosure, I consider myself an old soul, especially when it comes to music. I'm really not interested in playing top 40 music from the last 20 years. I mostly sing songs from the 40's to the 90's.
You can be sure that I care deeply about the service element of this work.
I'm extremely open minded and flexible and consider myself to be a holistic performer.
