We hired DJ Bryan George very shortly after finding our venue as his reviews were so good and we…read morewere not disappointed. Bryan worked with us up until the wedding, checking-in and answering any questions we had in the year leading up. We chose the DJ package with lighting and then ended up adding on the strings for the ceremony & cocktail a few months later. Bryan provided planning documents that made it easy to share the vision for the vibe of our wedding. The strings were absolutely perfect and had a great modern collection. Our DJ on the day of the wedding was Ramses who was WONDERFUL! Guests raved about the music and his energy was immaculate. He did such a great job MC-ing without being too cheesy and kept everyone on the dance floor. The lighting made our room look even more beautiful! I would 100% recommend them to anyone!

My almost 12-year-old son has been taking lessons with Piotr for more than three years, and I…read morecredit my son's love of (and talent with) guitar mostly TO Piotr. He is fun, patient, inventive, supportive and more gifted, as both a teacher and a musician, than I will ever be able to appreciate. To my son, in turn, Piotr is incredibly cool and simply awesome. He knows that Piotr is a classical guitarist who grew up playing blistering rock and roll, and to hear the two of them rock out on whatever song suits my son's fancy at the moment -- or whatever song Piotr thinks is a good challenge -- delights this mom to no end. And then to hear my son noodling around on guitar in his spare time -- a hobby that brings him great joy -- well, let's just say that it's nice to never have to pester him to practice. I'm endlessly grateful to have such a huge talent working one-on-one with my son, and I look forward to seeing my son continue to evolve as a musician and expand his musical horizons -- no doubt eventually beyond rock. Thanks, Piotr!

Kia and Farzan were quite literally AMAZING. Probably the #1 thing I am most happy with is going…read morewith y'all for music. Not only did they make me feel comfortable and excited with their presence but Kia also helped with our timeline in a way that made everything go extremely smoothly. When him Conor and I. Had a meeting couple weeks before the wedding. We were struggling with the timeline of everything and how we're going to incorporate the Persian ceremony with American ceremony and Kia was able to explain how it will be done so effortlessly. As for the actual music, we sent a couple ideas what we wanted the night to be like in Kia couldn't be more perfect in his effortless djing and MCing. And Farzan was a tremendous add, I am so happy We have also had him to compliment Kia. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding could not stop raving about both of them. Also both of their extremely positive attitudes was a cherry on top- they were truly a huge part of the night and couldn't have gone as smooth as it did without them. I need Kia to make a playlist on everything he did because OBSESSED. My maid of honor getting married next year also using Kia also said she is now soooo excited to use you guys!

Not since former NJ governor Brendan Byrne named the Brendan Byrne Arena after himself (and…read moreapproved the NJ state income tax later that year) has a politician and his edifice complex fallen so far so fast. I was there once about eight years ago and honestly, the Kennedy Center is in dire need of upgrading. POTUS is probably right for shutting it down for two years for the repairs but naming the place after himself is fraught with peril for the Grand Old Party. Take it from Brendan Byrne who lost his bid for reelection and is now a fading Garden State footnote. Three cautionary stars.

I used to be a student of Rob Perl and he is the real deal. His eclectic background as a bass…read moremusician is a great benefit for students who are interested in playing the bass in a variety of musical genre. Also, he provided great practice exercises, and great technical assistance to help the student become a better player. An added bonus is that he was great to talk to. Ask him about an opinion about a particular musician/genre/or his experiences in New York and you get a fascinating look of a working musicians. If you want to learn the electric bass or upright bass I suggest taking lessons from this man.

Blue Dot Jazz Troupe: DC's hidden jazz gem!!!…read more Over the last couple of years I've been lucky enough to catch the rotating cast of Blue Dot characters all over the city. Whether it be providing the perfect speakeasy ambience at The Alex and Sotto (RIP), or energizing the crowd with jazz-infused bops at Boundary Stone and A Baked Joint -- Blue Dot always delivers! The group has so many talented musicians at their disposal, that you're guaranteed to hear something new and exciting each time out. Run, don't walk, to see these talented folks for yourself!!

Hana Sherif, the artistic director is tapping into so many amazing stories that capture the African American experience in America. The latest hit is Chez Joey which is here till 3/15/26. The play is a 10 out of 10. It's a love triangle story that takes place in 1940's Chicago at a jazz club. Joey is a young ambitious entertainer looking to make a name for himself and has to choose between true love or being bought by a rich baroness who can easily fund his dreams. The dancing and singing is electrifying and steamy, the story is told well and highly engaging. On Wednesdays they've added a complimentary jazz concert from 6:15 to 7pm that takes place in the lobby with seating. Check out Arena's lineup, they are procuring amazing work this season.

This trip to Arena Stage was for Step Afrika Holiday show!…read more We picked up our tickets from the box office and explored some of the season decorations in the lobby. Took some quick pictures with the tree and the arches, then got our tickets scanned and went upstairs. Lots of pretty decorations for the season - one large Christmas tree and a bunch of smaller ones above glistening with white lights. The show was in the Fichandler Stage, which has seats 360 around it - not a bad seat in there! Step Afrika!'s Magical Musical Holiday Step Show was fabulous! They handed out maracas and other noise makers upon entering the theater. We were in Row D on the North Side, which was amazing seats! The show ran for 90 minutes without an intermission. What a show! The talent of these artists are top notch!! The rhythm, the choreography, the music, the energy, the skill, the talent, the props were so impressive! They get the audience part of the fun throughout the show with the noisemakers, chatting, dance battles, and even two opportunities to join them on the floor to learn some steps! This was my first time seeing this show and I certainly can see how it's a tradition year after year for so many. You can tell all the hard work and dedication of this cast! Bravo to them!
