The Sweeney Rebellion played for my wife’s 50th surprise birthday party. Leading up to the event, Shawn was very responsive and professional. The day of the event they were setup and ready to entertain our guests when they arrived. The music selection was great and our guests continually complimented the the band as they were able to play a wide range of music from Johnny Cash to Pink Floyd. To be honest, I was on the fence whether to have live music at this event, but glad I decided to go with TSR as they literally made what would have been a good party, great! Thanks so much Shawn. We look forward to hiring you again.
