The Eddie Anderson Band did it again this is the second time using this band for our Jazz and Jean event.
Not only did they play even better than last time and believe me they were awesome last time that's why we booked them again but it felt like family this time and we love them. They put their all into the show and we can't get enough of them. Oh, and their singer was great.
We will be booking them again and again.
Great Job

We hired Eddie and the band to play at our family reunion of about 60 people. We were stuck in the dining room of the hotel, but Eddie made it work and had our impromptu dance floor Packed. We were moving and grooving all night to our favorites, and they also taught us a few dance moves along the way. I would definitely hire them again for a big event! Top notch entertainment!
Response from The Eddie Anderson Project:
Thank you, Patrick!

Yours in Music,
Eddie Anderson
