    You can't go wrong with Still Listening Productions! Lee provided the perfect soundtrack for our…read moreNovember 2021 wedding at the La Jolla Woman's Club. He seamlessly switched from our ceremony to our cocktail hour to the reception itself. I seriously cannot recommend him enough, he listened to all of our requests and was so easy to work with. He sang live during the cocktail hour, and we kept having guests coming up to us asking for his website/information because they loved him so much! He also learned our first song (A Million Dreams), and created a version that was absolutely perfect for a first dance. I would absolutely recommend both Lee and Still Listening Productions for your event!

    Versatility and talent beyond compare…read more After reading all the glowing reviews of Michael Tiernan's musicianship my wife and I felt honored to be able to make a date with him to provide the music for a party at The Thursday Club in Point Loma. The party was partially a 50th anniversary but mostly a celebration of great friendships of many years. He did an incredible job of playing songs that were the perfect complement to the changing dynamics of the entire evening. Michael is a charming individual and when the mood was right he played songs that engaged the crowd, captured their attention and drew applause. He's a master at reading the room. Toward the end of the evening a contingent got up and started dancing between the tables. Michael was totally in his element. He can create all the high energy party vibe you could want. He has spontaneous looping techniques that make his renditions of songs as full bodied as a band. As part of the planning process we received a list of songs that are in his repertoire. You would not believe the length of the list and the variety of situations and moods he can bring to life. This next part is slightly humorous, but testifies to what a great guy Michael is. Since the majority of the crowd was going to be septuagenarians like ourselves, we were concerned that if the music was too "prominent" the guests might have difficulty hearing each other and conversing. It was with a little trepidation that we brought up this concern with Michael. You don't sign up an artist with all his gifts and then ask him to play quietly. His response was immediate and completely understanding. He totally got it. He assured us he could keep it as mellow as we wanted. And he did it perfectly with no cues from us, especially during the crucial cocktail-hour part of the event which was an important time for people to mingle and visit. He reads the room. If you are planning a special event you hope to bring all the elements together to make it a great experience for all the guests. It's like an art project. Music is an essential part of the experience. Look no further for an amazingly gifted musician who can work with you to craft the occasion to your desires to make it a meaningful and joyful celebration.

    Naomi was kind enough to fill in for our wedding in January 2024 when another harpist was unable to…read moreperform due to an injury. We were initially bummed because our previous harpist was so sweet, but we quickly learned that we were in excellent hands with Naomi as well. She was incredibly responsive and had lots of musical experience. She performed during our cocktail hour, so unfortunately we didn't get to hear most of it ourselves. However, all of our guests told us the music was lovely and the snippets we did hear were amazing. She also dressed formally and was sure to ask what colors would compliment our wedding scheme, which we really appreciated. That was such a nice touch for her to do. We are so grateful that she was willing to jump in and were thrilled to have someone so talented as part of our special day! Thank you!

    Naomi was chosen as the harpist for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding ceremony in Balboa Park on…read moreNovember 4th, 2023 (I meant to do this long ago and finally got around to it). I must say she was incredible! She worked closely with them to select the songs they wanted, letting them hear how each one sounded, and was incredibly accommodating throughout the process. She truly cares and enjoys playing and it shows! She was detail-oriented, punctual, and professional every step of the way, and she's also the sweetest woman. She played before, during, and after the ceremony with songs specifically chosen for each timeframe and even coordinated her dress color with their wedding colors. Her music is absolutely mesmerizing and added the perfect touch of elegance to their garden wedding. It could not have been more perfect. A couple walking by to preview the site heard her playing before the ceremony and stopped to ask for her card for their upcoming wedding. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed. Book her now!
