"He surpassed our expectations. Venue at River Rock is intimate - mind you we had 2nd row seats!! Felt like Tony was singing to us! Bandmates sound was tight, clean and never over shadowed Tony's voice at all. We would go see and hear him again!"
Bottom line: Brian would recommend this event to their best friend
