• Dec. 4, 2021Chris James was every last note the king of Swing. He paved the way for what can only be described as a fabulous evening in a most unique setting. Not only does he have a delicious voice, he also works the room, entertaining everyone brilliantly from one end of the age scale to the other. A true sign of a class entertainer.
We would/will have him back in a heartbeat!

• May 25, 2019Chris is a fantastic singer and he judged his performance just right for the audience for my parent’s 50th Wedding Anniversary.
Our guests ranged from children to elders so he sang a brilliant mix of Rat Pack, Jazz, Swing, Elvis and modern songs.
On the day, and since, our guests have been telling us how great Chris was. We highly recommend him. Thanks Chris for making the event a special one.
