Great experience!

We engaged the Chris Thomas guitar and piano duo for our son’s rehearsal dinner in Key West. Chris asked before the event what type music we wanted to hear. We also gave him about ten requests. He nailed it all! Four and a half hours of great music! Unplanned dancing broke out! It was a special event made even more special by the music.

Pre-Wedding Rehearsal Party

Chris is awesome! Chris is awesome! We hired Chris to play solo at our pre-wedding celebration at Alonzo’s Oyster Bar in Key West. I had seen Chris perform in LBI, NJ and knew he would be perfect for our party. We had guests from Florida, NY and NJ and all ages and everyone danced and sang!! We highly recommend Chris for any event and will be seeing him again this summer in LBI and hopefully sooner this winter in Key West!! Thanks Chris for the memorable music 🥂💗

He was amazing!

Chris Thomas did a fantastic job playing guitar at my wedding which was in April at Old Town Manor. He had great communication leading up to the event and played songs we loved the most. I got many compliments throughout the night about his performance and how it added to my wedding and reception. I would recommend him for your event.
