Paul Mezzanotte came back immediately after I put in a late request for Husband's Surprise Birthday Party through Gig-salad.com.
Checked out his web site and booked him. Easy and great to work with. Arrived on time. Very personable and a good sense of humor among our crazy family gang including two young ones who were mesmerized and kept rocking away. Enjoyed a good selection of songs among them some Neil Young once , one of hubby's favorite artist. Turned out to be a very memorable evening and hubby over the moon. Thank you Paul Mezzanote for making our evening a smashing hit, hubby will live long on memories.
Will definitely book again or recommend for future events.
Response from Paul Mezzanotte:
Your family was a joy to perform for! Thank you for the kind words, and for allowing me to spend your husbands birthday celebration with all of you you.
I wanted to do something special for Mom's 70th Birthday, so I decided to hire a singing guitarist to perform some of her favorite tunes. Mr. Mezzanotte stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park. Please consider him for your event's needs.
Response from Paul Mezzanotte:
Thank you again. I appreciated meeting and performing for your family. It was a pleasure to be there.
