"You have a certain 'quality'

...a special something that no one can name, but we know it when we hear it."

Kind words from Grammy winning producer/sound engineer Neal Cappelino.

(Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, India Arie, Jewel)

Leah Singleton, Bride

So many of our guests commented on what an incredible voice Hollie has. They set the mood for the day perfectly & were complete professionals from beginning to end.

Stephanie Martin, Bride

Hollie was an absolute pleasure to work...this made me in particular (control freak bride!) feel at complete ease! Guests have since said that they thought we had an ipod playing through a music system until they looked over and saw the duo performing. Hollie’s voice is beautiful.
