    We wanted to thank the band for an absolutely incredible night! Our guests cannot stop raving about the music. We have no words to describe how perfect and seamless the night was. These guys were truly PHENOMENAL! Our family has a great appreciation for music. We searched and listened to many bands and when we heard The Finns from Greensboro, North Carolina, there was no turning back! The harmonizing was absolutely INCREDIBLE! The way they arranged the music to fit the diverse age groups from 2 years old to 93, was SPOT ON everyone was singing along and the dance floor was full all night! THEY DESERVE A 10! We want to thank you all for the night of a lifetime! Thank you Mike for your endless direction, commitment and communication!! XOXO The Torreys

    I wish that I could give this company zero stars from the horrible performance that their band (LUCKY POCKET) gave us during my birthday celebration. In the beginning of booking this band LUCKY POCKET or any of Sam Hill Entertainment's bands. Please note that YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH ANY MEMBERS OF YOUR BAND OF CHOICE UNTIL YOU HAVE PAID UP FRONT IN FULL!! You will only be allowed to watch a video of the band and pick songs from the band's play list that you want them to play at your occasion and this is where my problems started!!! For one, their video of LUCKY POCKET was NOTHING even closes to their live performance!!! It was horrible and the music was very loud. Secondly, When I was finally put in contact with the band leader (Mr Nathan) after I made full payment to Sam Entertainment to discuss my song choices, which I told him that this would be a Caribbean crowd. I gave him 6 Caribbean's songs from off HIS playlist that I wanted him to play that he assured me that his band would be able to play and accommodate us. Well that was a lie!! Before my event, me and Mr Nathan had at least 3 conversations over the phone whereas I communicate over with him if his band could play those song and he casually shrug me off, telling me it was no problem. From his response over the phone, I had a strong feeling that this was going to be a disaster!! but at this point, I was already committed and my event was just a couple of weeks away. Setup time was supposed to be at 3:00pm, the band didn't get there till 4:30pm. My party was to start at 5:30pm so start time was push back! Once the band starting playing. I notice that my crowd was getting bored because Mr Nathan decided to please whatever he wanted that was not to the taste of my crowd. I had to go up to Mr Nathan 3 times at the venue to asks what happen to my Caribbean's songs and could he please play them. He stop the band and ONLY PLAYED ONE (1) SONG THAT I REQUESTED HIM TO PLAY. After that, he went right back in playing and boring my crowd with whatever he wanted to play. I had a gut feeling this band couldn't play the music that we wanted to hear, So why do you put this genres on your play list and you can't play them???? Mr Nathan was so desperate in getting this gig, that he would have told me anything to keep that booking! Well, after a couple of calls to Sam Hill Entertainment and a few emails back and forth to express my frustration, I was told that there is nothing they would do to accommodate me in anyway! So at this point, I am in talks with my lawyer to take this matter to court. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE BAND LUCKY POCKET!! YOU WILL BE TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED!
