Recent Performances
Another one of Kiawah’s breathtaking views, nestled on the banks of the Kiawah River, the River Course is a great alternative to the Sanctuary’s Grand Lawn. Bob and Mike Williams (my father and I) had the privilege of performing the ceremony and cocktail reception afterward on January 2nd, 2010.
We performed from our classical repertoire for the wedding ceremony, including Canon in D, Ave Maria, and Purcell’s Trumpet Tune. For the cocktail hour, we lightly amplified our acoustic instruments and performed a mix of Jazz and Popular tunes. Our goal is to happily surprise our clients when they hear our unique sound performing popular artists such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Coldplay, Jack Johnson, and more on the Guitar and Violin. We are not just to be ‘background music’. but to entertain in a unique way which no other group can emulate.
Bob,
I just wanted to say thank you for performing at the ceremony and cocktail reception for my sister Kim’s wedding this past weekend. You and your son are so talented and the music you play is a treat to listen to – I had more people ask me in complete surprise if we were listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers during cocktails and the feedback was amazing!!
Thank you again for everything, I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the near future!
Best, Liz Cook
