Do want a dance party? Do you want your guests to be thoroughly entertained? You'll be lucky if they are available, & if they are, hire Ike and Martin! They are so much fun and extremely talented musicians!
Simply put these guys are top notch and bad ass! I have had the pleasure of watching them perform at countless public shows and private events and they never disappoint. My husband and I also hired them to play the ceremony and reception at our 10 year vow renewal and they knocked it out of the park. We got SO many compliments. As wedding vendor myself, I refer them to my clients every chance I get. Ike and Martin are super professional, prompt and deliver incredible music and endless humor every single time. For an acoustic duo, their music is unmatched by any other band in Tahoe. Ike's string playing ability is amazing and Martin rocks the guitar, bass pedals, harmonica and even the kazoo! Their sing list is HUGE and spans so many genres. Beatles, Cars, Pixies, Stones, Floyd...and their Led Zepplin is incredible. Book these guys for a truly unforgettable event.
I have worked with Ike & Martin on multiple occasions. They are not only the most professional musicians I have seen, but they are more passionate about what they do than anyone I know. They truly love what they do and it shows! Their interaction with the guests of the event is amazing to watch and their musicianship is unparalleled. So, if you want extraordinary entertainment at your event that people will talk about for years, book Ike & Martin! Rob Morse.
