Terrific Soul/Funk Band. Mudibu matched Otis' chords effortlessly. By mid-show, people were dancing anywhere they could find space. Truly magical, gave me goosebumps. They looked super-slick too!”

Great show with an excellent band and vocals. Audience loved it. They were dancing in the aisles and gave a standing ovation at the end. Delivered what it promised and artists were lovely to work with!”
