• July 30, 2022Chris was superb and went down a storm for all of our guests. Communication was good beforehand, and we had a call to run through set list and song requirements, etc., and on the day he was fantastic. Couldn't have asked for anything more and would definitely recommend him to others!

• Dec. 4, 2021Chris James was every last note the king of Swing. He paved the way for what can only be described as a fabulous evening in a most unique setting. Not only does he have a delicious voice, he also works the room, entertaining everyone brilliantly from one end of the age scale to the other. A true sign of a class entertainer.
We would/will have him back in a heartbeat!
