We have been in operation since 2005, and have performed on national, regional, and local television, as well as radio.  Past clients and venue highlights include: Rachael Ray Show, Disney Christmas Carol Train Tour, Blue Bloods holiday party, opening for Pentatonix, opening for Olivia Newton John, Longwood Gardens, Christkindlmarkt, WFMZ-TV, NBC10, CW-57, 98.1 Radio, and so many more!  Most gigs are at shopping malls, retirement homes, private parties, country clubs, corporate parties, etc.  Gigs can be inside or outside.  Victorian costumes are provided by the company.

      • Hi Jennifer,
        My name is Jordan Becker, and I am a bass. I am interested in auditioning for the upcoming Christmas Holiday season this year.

        I will also email you.

        Do you offer any compensation per call for rehearsals and performances?

        I will send you my headshot and resume.

        Also, do you require the singers to wear masks, or do they need to be fully vaccinated?

        Also, is there social distancing on stage?

        So, if you wouldn’t mind messaging me back at your earliest convenience, that would be great.

        I look forward to hearing from you soon, as well as singing for you.
        Thank You,
        Jordan Becker
