I booked Jay and Lee as well as the wonderful flamenco dancer for a 30th flamenco-themed birthday party. Jay and Lee are incredibly talented musicians and they both had such great, positive energy! The flamenco dancer was fantastic and encouraged everyone else to join the dance floor as well. Everyone had a great time enjoying the music and dancing. Communication was perfect and the group was punctual! All in all, I highly recommend this group for any type of event!!

Hired Jason to play Spanish Guitar for an event at our home. First and foremost his performance was amazing. He plays beautifully and everyone was beyond impressed. His music made our party. Secondly, Jason was a pleasure to work with and coordinate with. He was communicative, kind and accommodating. I was honored to have him perform at our event.

The guitar music was an amazing addition to our dinner party, with some people dancing and others just enjoying the background music. This guitarist is highly recommended!
We couldn't be happier with Jay and Lee's presence and performance at our wedding. They truly created a romantic and sociable atmosphere. Our guests are still reaching out to us days after the event to tell us how much they enjoyed the music. Thank you both so much!

This guitar duo is outstanding. They played for 2 hours straight and made beautiful Spanish Flamenco style music! One of the highlights was the song Entre Dos Aguas by Paco de Lucia. I highly recommend this guitar duo!
