Oscar Butler is our FAVORITE local performer by far! He has a beautiful voice and we really enjoy…read morethe selection of songs he sings. We especially like when he sings James Taylor. The first time we heard him sing ''Sweet Baby James,'' we were hooked. He also does a great job with ''Steam Roller!'' ​When​ I go out to listen to music, I'm usually most interested in hearing songs I already know. Oscar, however, has a talent for performing songs I haven't heard but that I instantly like. I guess it's because I like songs that tell stories. And if the stories are humorous and entertaining, even better! I have been pleasantly surprised to learn that some of those new songs I liked were his originals. I shouldn't have been surprised since Oscar's wit comes out all ​during​ his performances. I found the schedule of his live performances on his website. I guess we ​can ​officially​ call ourselves​ ''groupies'' now. It's been a long time since that has happened! ​

When our church's equipment began to become noticeably unreliable, we made the long overdue…read moredecision to replace it. We had a 25+ year old system that had been fixed, tinkered with, and hacked together to keep all the parts running, wires hidden behind walls, and over-all, not the easiest project to "go-it-alone." Our board of directors wanted the cheapest option, naturally, so we priced parts out piece-meal, and several volunteers promised they knew what they were doing, and would install the system. Our initial quotes of $21,500 started to escalate as soon as we called the vendors, as hidden fees started to be tacked on, and sales reps kept trying to bamboozle us with "you'll need this piece of equipment as well," or "no, you don't want that, you want this." Finally, I had enough, and went to Lesmen's, and I am so glad that I did. They quoted me $25,000, which initially was met with resistance by the penny-pinchers on our board, questioning why their price was higher than on-line sources. Here's what we ultimately got that we didn't factor in: 1.) We got exactly what we needed, and nothing more, but more importantly, nothing was over-looked. Every cable, connection, and component that we needed was installed in a matter of two weeks from evaluation to installation. 2.) Nobody thought about the fact that we needed an electric crane to install the speaker arrays. Lesmen's did! And they rented it in the included price. 3.) They're expertise knew exactly how much electricity each component would require, and they worked with us on placing each piece to run on the right circuit breakers to avoid having to hire an electrical engineer to upgrade one box, or potentially risking overloading a box had we done it ourselves. 4.) When, not if, issues arose, they were on site, and knew exactly what the issue was, even when it was human error. 5.) Their installation included a three-hour training session with our staff, so each member of our team knew exactly how to operate each piece of equipment. 6.) Piece of mind. Not only did they assist in fine-tuning the system to ensure it sounded great for our first Sunday service, we also know that if anything goes wrong, they are right around the corner, and will be more than happy to assist in fixing any problem we may have. Don't be fooled by on-line pricing. It doesn't include the much needed human touch.

I have posted numerous POSITIVE experiences I've had supporting local businesses from great…read moreservice, this was not one of them. As a local consumer, and business owner, I have dealt with the public before and believe me I have had plenty of bad experiences with clients and positively resolved numerous issues from my business. This was my 1st time trading with Lesmens. It was our 50th wedding anniversary and we needed a speaker and microphone. There was confusion at the facility we chose and weather they had just a mic or speaker. A couple of days prior to the event, the speaker and mic was resolved by the event facility. I called Lesmens to inform them that their service was no longer required and requested a refund. I did sign Lesmens contract for the $150 rental. The answer was no as the 48-hour contractual notification time had expired. At this joyous moment in my life, reading the fine print was not high on my radar. I appealed to their greater conscience and suggested we split the charges as I agree some of it was my fault. The response was still no. I realize business needs to make a profit, but for something so minor as a $150 charge I felt it ridiculous. I will definitely pursue other local venues for my electronic requirements in the future. $150 is a small price to pay for service, in comparison to the REPUTATION that goes a lot further than the measly profit on this order.

He knows most artists don't have the money for lawyers in entertainment matters; so he sits there, with your work, your masters and just flys the middle finger at you. I'll be in court with this guy for more time than I'd like to be; avoid at ALL costs. There are better and more worthwhile people you could work with.

Time to update and state that, five years later, this company remains as good as it gets. First and foremost, they don't bullsh*t. When you call/message/text/stop by, they're going to be realistic about what they can and cannot create, and you'll get a realistic ETA. Second, the product always shines. I've ordered everything from banners and signage to printed materials and stickers, it's all very, very Good. And third, this is my favorite aspect of the biz: they're amazing community partners. Over the years, they've provided plenty of materials and support to local businesses, most evidenced by so many restaurants that proudly posted their un-gender-specific bathroom signage that, honestly, couldn't be better stated. Just wash your hands, and then call this company, you won't regret it.
