Great Choice

We selected Firelands Jazz Trio and Evelyn Wright as the vocalist for our wedding celebration and we couldn’t be more pleased. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and Evelyn is an outstanding vocalist. They were very accommodating and provided the perfect sound for our afternoon reception.

Evelyn Wright brings style and class to any event.

Evelyn and her jazz band provided a wonderful atmosphere to our company event. With style and class she entertained everyone and was such a delight to have to work with. Everyone in attendance loved the music and her singing was outstanding.

The trio was excellent. Personally, I had to keep glancing over at them to remind myself that they were live and not a recording. They were that good!!!

Our wedding reception was the talk of the town due to the wonderful performance by Evelyn Wright and Dave Thomas. It was like having our own superstars perform for us personally. There is no better performer than Evelyn Wright.
