Great feedback from the guests and hosts. The director of Naples most prestigious Arts organization was most impressed and said " they made the event. Would recommend or hire again anytime.
Two events in two days and the second even better. One guest who heads up a large Arts organization said " these two made the event !!"
Definitely a home run
Photos from this event
The audience loved it and felt connected. The familial touch is magic. Multi instrument artists as well. I'll definitely do again...if available. I can see them getting very popular.
These guys did such a wonderful job at my retirement community event! They are super talented and just all around great people! Will be booking them again soon!
Response from Tom and Grace Hood:
Thanks Amber. Glad everyone liked our entertainment and lunch was tasty!!
I work with Tom on WMNF's annual ukulele festival and not only is he one of the best uke players in FL --lot's of original songs with a cover or two for spice. Not sure what you need--but he is a full band in a box. PA --got it. Backline-got it, need a fill in He can do it. And when it comes to promoting the event he's your man--he's a natural on TV and on radio.
