Sending you both a HUGE, HUGE thank you! You FAR exceeded my expectations and I could not have been more pleased! You are both awesome, so incredibly talented, entertaining, fun, witty – truly spectacular! Everyone has raved about you and they are STILL talking about Friday night. I really had to talk my management into trying this and now, they are saying this was their most fun Friday event ever! I would 1000% recommend you to anyone!
Thank you for all your assistance over the past few months. Bader and guests had lots of fun at Bobby McKey’s last night! What a great venue! What can I say... Bobby McKey’s Rocks!
The show for kids was a blast. The musicians were fantastic with the kids and did a great job playing the standards like “Sweet Caroline” to “Baby Shark”. My daughter loved it. I can’t say enough about what a fun time this was for families. A great option at the National Harbor.
