Read Reviews on GoogleEduardo is a talented performer. His guitar playing at our Happy Hour Paws with Purpose fundraising event in Tucson, AZ added to the wonderful atmosphere of the St Philips Plaza. He is a true talent and a joy to work with. I definitely recommend him highly for any of your upcoming events.
I just wanted to say that Eduardo did a magnificent job at our wedding which was back in March. Couldn’t remember if I’d actually posted this review but I think he merits at least five stars if not more!
Eduardo was a dream to work with. He was timely in his communication, on time for the event, and played excellently. Will definitely use him again when we are in Tucson.
Eduardo is always amazing, he was perfect for our wedding! He is flexible, professional and amazes us every time we have him at an event! We have used him for birthdays and functions over the years and he never disappoints!
