This was a last minute booking and we are so glad we did it. The music was fabulous. Jim is a great singer and so entertaining. Watching the dancing was mesmerizing and learning - or trying to learn - how to do it was a hoot!

Entertaining and interactive for any age. Talented musician and host kept the show moving and engaged with the crowd. About 80 attendees the day we went. My teenage daughter loved it, so that’s a sign it was good as she can be hard to please!
