Testimonials

What do bar owners, event planners, worship leaders, and community organizers have to say?

“Spoons for the People performances are unlike any other! Not only does he work with several different instruments, he also explains the origin of them and displays them in a ‘show and tell’ type of experience. The friendliness and openness of Vincent’s style as an artist encourages viewers to connect with the music and join in. His passion inspires the dining room here at Don & GG’s and events with him are always a hit!”

— Summer, Co-owner @ Don & GG’s Restaurant

“Our church hired Spoons for the People to put on a concert for the community as an outreach event. He did a wonderful job, and everyone enjoyed his music. He was especially good at getting the audience actively involved in the concert. I would most definitely recommend!”

— Martha, Lay Leader @ the Mercer United Methodist Church

“Vince is really easy to work with, has great communications, and is a very affordable option for engaging, fun, live music for my bar in Ashland, WI. His eclectic catalog of music gets my crowd of 21-55+ dancing and singing along. His unique style combines whimsy and talent with unusual instruments to make his performances memorable. I Highly recommend booking Spoons for the People for a variety of events.”

— Bizy, Owner @ Stagecoach Bar & Grill

“The music Spoons for the People provided was exceptional. Patrons were singing along and keeping beat throughout their time at the market. Vendors were thrilled at the music choices, and his voice was amazing! We will be asking Vince to come back the following year due to his wonderful attitude and beautiful music.”

— Shelly, Treasurer @ the Iron County Farmers Market

“Vince was a wonderful asset to our Christmas Show at the Historic Ironwood Theatre. He was professional, always prepared, had great communication between the directors, and performed expertly during all rehearsals and shows. We had many compliments from cast mates and sponsors on his performance. We have developed a great working relationship with him. Highly recommend!!”

— Lindsey, Director @ the Historic Ironwood Theatre Christmas Show

“Experiencing Vince’s grace and talent is truly magically. Vince provides an array of musical experiences that are delightful for all ages and, at times, jaw dropping. His performances stem from a very strong music education background and depth of knowledge as he interacts with the audience.  Booking is very easy, as he is reliable and on time.”

— Kate, President @ PFLAG Washburn

“When folks gather for inspiration, the most powerful element is song! Vince made our World Communion Sunday an unforgettable event of celebrating the dignity and beauty of all people. We can’t wait to have him return to us!”  Reverend Pamela Starr  Pastor of Ironwood Wesley and Wakefield United Methodist Churches.  

— Pam, Pastor @ Ironwood Wesley United Methodist Church

“Vincent provided music for a candlelit vigil for Pride, as well as organizing and orchestrating a community choir performance.  I was incredibly impressed with the musical talent and ability to teach, coordinate, create great music and a warm, safe space for all involved.  We hope to work with Vincent and Spoons for the People again!"
