“Your performance at Saturday's Equinox Ball was AMAZING! Many of our guests have had the privilege of hearing you perform on other occasions, but "first timers" were blown away by the energy, enthusiasm and musical talent (instrumental and vocal) of your band.
You filled the dance floor with every song, and created some of the best photo opportunities of the evening.
It was truly one of the highlights of the Wellness House gala."
