My wife and I were planning a wedding from outside of Wisconsin and really struggled to find a good…read moremusic option. After a ton of research we came across Half Empty. They are a rock band from Appleton, WI and were absolutely amazing. To be clear this isn't the Wedding Singer - These guys are rock stars with the skills to be on tour and play larger venues normally it looks like. We were really lucky to get them! Jason Lambie blew us away with his communication leading up to, and through the event. We wanted live music, but most of the bands around the area sounded terrible on their YouTube clips or played tacky wedding/party songs. The best man in the wedding is a bit of a singer/guitar player and the crowd pushed him onstage without planning and the band just rolled with it and let him play along. I was impressed as Half Empty are real musicians and I thought they'd be offended that he joined them for a song unexpectedly. These guys are pros and real entertainers! My family and guests thought we paid thousands more than we did. They are not a typical wedding band. They are made to play large crowds and are the best musicians I've seen in WI. If you have a chance for a festival, large corporate event sort of thing you need to book these guys. My family and friends DON'T DANCE and these guys had everryone on the floor singing along and dancing before the first song was even over. Even the over 50 crowd. I was stunned watching my older siblings and their kids all jamming together. These guys look and play like rockstars. They probably had $20-30k of guitars on the stage lined up, very cool drum stand and awesome stage set up. No lame sign hanging behind them or anything like that. To have the complete rock star package without the attitude blew us all away. Look no further. Book these guys immediately .and your guests will love you for providing the best cover band they've ever seen. Ever.

This place was incredible. I'm a saxophone player and was doing a performance at UW Oshkosh, when a…read morescrew came out of my instrument. Chris, the repair tech at the location in Appleton, sent me a replacement through a third party. He didn't have my saxophone so he was hoping that the one he sent would be the correct screw--sadly (100% not anyone's fault) it was not correct. But it did screw in far enough to hold the post in place for the duration of the concert, it was a huge deal for me. The next day I was directed by the good people at the Heid Music location in Oshkosh (a beautiful place, with welcoming, and highly competent staff) to take my instrument to the location in Appleton, where Chris was working. The brand of screw that was supposed to fit my instrument wasn't fitting. Chris, with me in the repair room with him, exhaustively went through all the possibilities until he stumbled on a Yamaha screw that fit in my Selmer saxophone. He was engaging, and generous, and clearly had a serious know-how about the instrument (mine) he was working on. I can't recommend Heid Music enough. The stores are beautiful, with knowledgeable and friendly staff. They have an exhaustive inventory: a good mix of affordable student instruments and high end professional instruments, infinite pianos and string instruments, walls and walls and shelves and shelves of music books. It's just so cool! Please check out Heid Music if you're in Oshkosh or Appleton!

Mr. Bullock agreed to show up one hour before the ceremony starting in order to setup and play guest arrival music. At thirty minutes prior to the ceremony, I attempted to contact Mr. Bullock to inquire of his whereabouts. HE WAS A NO SHOW WITHOUT WARNING! My wife and I specifically tailored our ceremony to take cues from Mr. Bullock's music! Sadly, my wife and I experienced anxiety and disgust throughout the duration of our ceremony as we fumbled through each of the ceremonial stages. What an embarrassing disaster! Several hours later, Mr. Bullock was gracious enough to send me a TEXT MESSAGE to express his regret in missing our ceremony due to an "unfortunate circumstance." Whatever his "circumstance," it apparently took up all of his time to where he couldn't have taken the same three seconds at any point prior to our ceremony to notify one of us via text message that he would be unable to fulfill his compensated obligation. My wife and I are completely disgusted with this outcome and disgusted with the fact that he didn't even have decency to call to express his regrets. We could have made other arrangements given some sort of notification beforehand. In closing, I will say this: if you are planning on a violinist to play your activity, think long and hard before choosing this guy! It will be a crapshoot on whether he shows. BEWARE!

I would highly recommend Randall Bullock for your event. I worked with him on several musical…read moreprojects and have found him to be very reliable. An excellent violinist with a passion for his art!

My hubby and I booked Pamela to play during our wedding ceremony and social hour at the Grand…read moreIsland Mansion. Prior to booking, Pamela invited us over to her house to listen to samples of music she could play. We immediately discovered that she has a very expansive list of music that she knows, is quite talented, and was eager to learn additional songs for our wedding. During our planning, Pamela responded to emails promptly and always got back to me in less than 24 hours. She kept us informed about our music choices and bought sheet music for several songs that we asked for her to play. We learned that she also played the accordion so we decided to have her play the accordion during our social and dinner hour. Our guests LOVED Pamela. She eagerly filled any harp requests from our guests. She added flare to our dinner by walking around the room playing the accordion. She played a special polka for me and my dad and 'On Wisconsin' for the father of the groom. We had one snafu during our wedding. The bus company we hired arrived to our venue an hour late due to a mechanical issue. With the bus being late, the time we hired Pamela to play was closing in on us. As the bride, this caused a great deal of stress and worry. Pamela stayed by my side and kept me calm. She graciously stayed longer than the time commitment we agreed to and still played during our wedding ceremony, during the social time, and into dinner. Bottom line, Pamela stepped up and exceeded my expectations to ensure that my wedding day was special. Pamela performed perfectly during my special event and I HIGHLY recommend Pamela to play at your special event.

The lip sync battle instead of glass clinking to request a kiss was great, and the table impossible to get a pic with all of our guests I got several compliments on as well.

He never played any of the songs I asked for, nor did he even acknowledge me when he went up to the bar. I thought, "Ok, thi s is just a one-time deal; maybe he's having a bad day." But on talking with other people there, just a couple of weeks ago, it seems no one likes him, and one person went to a wedding where he played and said it was the worst wedding reception he's ever been to! I'm not really particular about DJs, I'll go along with just about anything. But being rude on top of it did me in. Hope he doesnt quit his day job. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone!
