He was the hit of the night, providing just the right soft beautiful music for our lovely Desert evening. He is a gifted guitarist who can switch it up going from Flamenco style to playing jazzy renditions of Adele or Ed Sheehan. I highly recommend this talented, sweet man for any event.

His Spanish guitar preceding and during the ceremony was incredible; he's a talented musicians, inquisitive about what I wanted and low key enough to not steal any of the thunder from the actual wedding. During our dinner, Milton played guitar and added to the ambiance. He was more than willing to tailor the playlist to our desires, but we let him do his thing and he was fantastic. On the DJ note, I could not be happier. Milton played great music and, when a song wasn't working, he gracefully transitioned to something else. Really amazing. Now two days after my wedding, I've received so many compliments about the music and feel of the wedding. Milton was a key part of the wedding and I can't picture it the same without his music. Thank you, Milton!

She's kind, lovely, helpful, and warm. I'm so glad to have experienced her talents.

Brian's live music created such a beautiful, meaningful atmosphere for our ceremony and set the perfect relaxed, elegant tone for cocktail hour. The cadence of the music, the song order, and the timing of the MC'ing were all flawless. Every transition felt seamless, and they knew exactly how to keep the party going without ever making the night feel rushed or overproduced. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was. It truly made such a difference in the overall feeling of our wedding day. Brian and Mike were professional, talented, intuitive, and such a joy to work with. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to any couple looking for musicians who can bring both beauty and energy to a wedding celebration!!

We hired Brian for a private party and I honestly cannot say enough good things.

I had written him about my husband's favorite group, Dawes, and he surprised us by singing, and playing one of our absolute favorites from them. It was so incredibly special! If you're on the fence about hiring live music for your next event, this is your sign. Book him. You will not regret it. 10/10, would absolutely have him back and we will!!!

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.

They had a female singer join them, who if you had your eyes closed, would guess you were listening to Selena all over again, what a great voice! A great variety of both English and Spanish songs, cumbias, salsa, instrumental and a great imitation of Bruno Mars!!!! Their DJ kept the hits coming while the band took a break.
