Great communications from Russell right from the start and always considerate to make sure that our event needs and musical preferences were known . The day itself was a wonderful occasion and we were provided with an amazing range of classic tunes all of which we and our guests throughly enjoyed . The skill , professionalism and musical ability was outstanding and we can’t wait to do it all again . Thanks to Russ, Steve & John for making our event a complete success.

Response from Russell Edward Williams:
David and Jamie Lyn opened a hair salon in Stevensville On. called "West Mane hair". They rented a big tent for the guests and a stage/ tent for the band. They supplied food and beverages for everyone and paid they band well in advance of the event. Stellar client!

We were a small group of 9 people for a social distancing BBQ. We had requested classic Rock so Russell played and sang this type of music. We sometimes chatted with him between songs. My group very much enjoyed the evening.
