TESTIMONIALS

"Sam is the first call for Celtic Rouge Wedding & Events Band. Sam is first there at an event and last out. Sam's drumming is world class.  Plays appropriately to the event regarding volume and appropriately to the music in terms of feel. He has an amazing touch and grooves on slow ballads and rocks hard on upbeat numbers. Having heard Sam play in many different settings, I can comment on how sensitive he is to the job requirement, and how humble he is to ask if he is playing well. Personally, I just love the sound in his hands. Consummate professional, he is set up and helping load-in, and leaves after doing the heavy lifting on pack-up. Also great fun to be around and has an enthusiastic mindset, which keeps everyone in great spirit."
