What Our Clients Say About Us

Our university hired KC & the Moonlighters to play at our annual music and culture festival. They were incredibly easy to work with. They replied quickly to every email, apologizing if they replied several hours after I sent it, even though I never respect replies that promptly! They were willing to make tweaks that worked within our space and were very accommodating to requests. I asked if they could focus on musics from the 70s-2000s, as our college students really love "nostalgia" music, and the band did so. Our students had an amazing time and really loved the band. Absolutely recommend!

KC & the Moonlighters performed at my wedding last month and were absolutely amazing! Not only was Kellee an absolute pleasure to work with, she went above and beyond to help make this simple and easy for me. When we couldn't think of a song for cutting the cake... here came Kellee with a list of suggestions. When I requested a specific version of a song, Kellee and the guys, they learned it! Thanks so much for being such a memorable part of our wedding KC!
