I live in downtown SD, so I go out most weekends. I've been to a few bars with AFE's karaoke hosts…read more But I definitely spend the most time at Werewolf. I absolutely love the karaoke hosts there! I've met a few of them but my favorite is Veronica. She's always very nice and welcoming. She encourages people to get up there and sing. And she's very patient on a busy Friday or Saturday night when everyone and their mother wants to sign up. Veronica always keeps things lively, fun, and upbeat. I've observed her interacting with guests on many occasions and she's always extremely pleasant with everyone. She'll talk with you and joke around with you, even when she doesn't know you. I've never seen her treat anyone negatively. She's always very fair and doesn't give priority to people just because she knows them. So you don't have to worry about getting passed over in line. I have also been there when Chad has hosted and he's equally as fantastic. AFE is just all around a great crew, and they bring people back to these places where they host. Especially Werewolf. I don't sing often, but when I do it's always fun.

I really suck at reviews but AFE deserves a good one. I've been to many of their shows at many…read moredifferent locations including Henry's, Happy Does, and especially at Werewolf.

Shortly thereafter, we both booked them for our wedding. We recently saw them again at Tin Roof downtown for 90s night. What a fun band! A great mix of songs. Erika rocked Mariah Carey and Melody killed it with her Alanis Morissette voice. They even do bilingual performances! Surprised to see Melody sing such a great Selena song! :) Can't wait to have them perform at our wedding this summer!

We started talking with Erik about logistics over email and then when it came closer we ended up meeting with Chris the band leader for dinner. He got to know us and our music preferences, but we gave them total creative control of the event. We chose the classic songs, but they took care of the rest. They are so professional, they do this weekend after weekend. Trust them! We did not worry about a thing and the whole crowd was moving. Our wedding was early September 2017 and we are still hearing our guests rave about them. We have even had other friends ask for their contact info who are getting married in the future. They performed a Louis Armstrong song that everyone thought was recorded. But it was LIVE. The cocktail hour keyboardist/pianist was great too. We went with a 9 piece band plus cocktail at La Valencia hotel and have no regrets. Everyone had a private concert at our wedding and LOVED Calphonics. Trust them and hire them! We love them and will hire them again if we host another party or event! We will also recommend them to all of of our friends getting married or in need of an awesome band!

5-Star Review…read more Working with Stephanie Borja of SGM Events (a division of Sleeping Giant Music) and the entire team at Barleymash in San Diego was an exceptional experience. From the doorman and hostess to the bartenders, managers, and servers, every staff member was friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. The venue's layout, atmosphere, and overall vibe were a perfect match for the James Morgan Jazz band, and the event flowed smoothly from start to finish. It was truly a seamless and enjoyable night for us. The coordination between SGM Events and Barleymash was outstanding--easily one of the best teams we've ever worked with. Highly recommended for anyone hosting a live music event or looking for a venue that runs like a well-oiled machine. James Morgan James Morgan Jazz Band

Andrew was a pleasure to work with. He met us at the venue to discuss the space that the band would need and the electrical setup. A couple weeks out, we discussed the vision, including a New Orleans-inspired front line grand entrance. The brass section crushed the assignment. The jazz during happy hour and dinner were incredible and the high energy funk setlist got EVERYONE on the dance floor. The FSFB is professional and set the vibe for a great evening. Guests could not stop raving and some even went to their show the next day in town. Hire them now! We booked about a year in advance to secure our prime summer weekend date.
