A note from Ernie...

How's it goin'?! Ernie Bucio here, just wanted to welcome you to the website. The idea is for the website to help facilitate your planning and decision making process so that your event is a special time to be enjoyed. If you should have any questions, do not hesitate to email or call me, even if it is just to say "Hi!". We have been playing music for a long time and helping to make events such as concerts with a performing artist, background music or dance music for a wedding, a little more memorable. We truly are blessed to be able to do what we love and share it with so many others during the last 35 years. Here's to another 35! Catch ya later! ~ Ernie
