WHAT A TREAT!
Parlor Lights,
It was an absolute honor to be graced with your unique gifts this evening as an ensemble . We thoroughly enjoyed the caliber of your musicality produced, indeed! Taking a moment to explore the inner workings of composition and arrangement behind the performance was equally engaging and allowed us to further appreciate your skill sets all the more - collectively experiencing the joy of music! What a treat! Each of you brings so much to the table and it’s been an honor to share in it with you this evening.
Best, Angela Wenig Ring (Wenig Funeral Homes - Holiday Party - Dec 15, 2024)

ONE OF A KIND MUSICANS FOR WEDDINGS!
Tom, Andrew, and Mary provided the most amazing music for our outdoor wedding ceremony! We got so many compliments on the music as it wasn't your traditional Canon in D that you hear at every wedding. Tom helped us hand pick songs that really spoke to the personality of the groom, bridal party, and bride as each set walked down the wedding aisle. We appreciated the personal touches this added to our wedding ceremony and the musicians were so genuine making sure our day was the best, they performed so well! I cannot recommend them enough for your special gathering!

MOVING BEYOND WORDS
If I were to describe Tom's work, I would describe it as intricate, accessible, engaging, innovative and personal. He has a talent for hearing the beauty in music and making connections between songs, creating pieces that are greater than the sum of their parts.
For my husband and my wedding recessional, I wanted to process down the aisle to a blend of two songs that were played at my parents' wedding. Tom took on the challenge with gusto, surprising us with an arrangement of not two, but three songs, the third having been written by my father. The first time I listened to it, my sister and I were in tears. To most other people hearing it, the music was merely exceptional. To us, it was moving beyond words.
I have had the pleasure of getting to see Tom perform many times, for many events, with many of his arrangements. With each arrangement, he pours himself into the creation and performance of his music and inspires his fellow musicians to do the same. Still, even after hearing so many, "O Hannah Hannah" is my favorite.
