I would highly recommend Derek Sellers for any event needing a talented musician. He provided the music for my daughter's wedding. It was a pleasure to work with Derek and he was very accommodating in playing/singing the music requested by the bride. He not only is a talented vocalist, but also is very talented on the acoustic guitar. I still have people talking about how beautiful the music was at the wedding and complimenting the talents of Derek. He is a professional in every way!

Derek, you were amazing! From the initial phone conversation to the send-off at the end of the reception- it was a delightful experience to work with Derek Sellers and his band. If I had to sum up Derek in one word, it would have to be PHENOMENAL. While everything about our wedding went off smoothly and was wonderful, the one defining aspect of the whole evening, everyone talked about, was THE BAND!! Derek was most professional and provided the utmost customer service. He responded to all of my questions in a timely manner, worked with our venue coordinators very efficiently, and kept my husband and I on track with what we needed to provide. We had so much confidence in Derek, from his professionalism, to his incredible talent- he was an integral part of making our wedding reception so special and SO much fun. Everyone at the wedding had a blast and is still talking about it! Derek is perfect for a wedding or a band anytime of the year. I would use him a hundred times over!!
