“I wanted a great rock and roll party for my birthday and The OFFBEATS delivered a fabulous music and dance event for 80 friends and family members, everyone dancing to so many great songs....and they made my lead-backup vocal group sound so professional. One of them emailed me to say it was a dream come true.”
