Joel’s Music Testimonial

Barzley Joel and Christina
Palm Harbor, FL Wedding:

Joel was kind and professional from the beginning to the end! He went out of his way to discuss various options and make sure I was happy with every decision. Joel did such an amazing job that my family and friends are still talking about his performance 6 months later! Joel was amazing and I have recommended him to everyone I know!

Tampa, FL Wedding

April and I cannot thank you enough. The music, the mood and the way you kept everything moving was awesome. We both loved how your covers of Joe Cocker’s “You Are So Beautiful” and Ben Folds’ “Luckiest” add so much originality to our ceremony we have had nothing but compliments from all our guests. The fact that you took the time to understand our taste in music in order to make sure our personalities shined throughout the ceremony and reception made the day even more special for both of us. You and your wife make a wonderful team and in case we don’t hear from you before you become mama and papa “Congrats on your new bundle of joy!” You both are going to be some Rockin’ Parents!

Forever grateful! - Russell and April Bombka

“Jiving with Joel”, the name I came up with for my calendar, turned out to be totally fitting for Joel Chaffin’s musical program. I’ve booked him several times at our Inn on the Pond community, and his upbeat, popular-with-seniors music has thrilled our audiences to the max! His energetic guitar playing and pleasing singing and virtuosity brings some who are barely able to stand–to their feet to dance! The joy he brings with his music is unparalleled by others in the senior entertainment field. Once Joel has performed for you, you will want him to regularly come back again and again—just leave some time for us, please

Just a note to say what a fantastic job you and Danielle did for April’s wedding! From the music during the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the rockin’ reception, everything was just perfect. I had many of my friends comment about how great the music was, and how much fun they had dancing after dinner.

It was so good to have you be a part of the festivities, starting with April’s engagement party back in October- I was so excited to be able to have live music, and your broad range of musical styles was perfect. And I can’t thank you enough for learning “I Loved Her First” for my special toast! I look forward to coming to hear you sing with the band! Love you guys!

Redington Shores Birthday Party

We had a joyous occasion to use Joel Chaffins as an entertainer for my husband’s 70th birthday. The event was held on our roof-top terrace here in Redington Shores, so I was concerned with acoustics. Joel set our mind at ease once he set up and started playing! His selection of music provided a wide array of music for all who attended and we partied well into the morning! We would highly recommend Joel for any occasion with his selection of music and his winning personality.

To Whom It May Concern,

I’m submitting this letter on behalf of Joel Chaffins. This man in my opinion is by far one of the most amazing Entertainers/ Musicians in the Tampa Bay area. His voice alone brings joy to your ears, along with his smile and excellent interaction with his crowd. It’s just truly astounding. He brings smiles to faces, causes feet to move, lips to sing and bodies to dance. Joel’s talent goes far beyond the expectations of just a basic musician. He orchestrates a live musical performance in which everyone in the room is part of. He can take a room full of people from simply sitting in their seats, to up dancing on their feet in a matter of moments. The quality & sound of his voice is outstanding. Not only do I recommend Joel as a Musical Entertainer, but so do 40-50 residents who come to see and hear Joel play every month.
We thank you Joel for all the awesome music & talent you bring.

Respectfully Submitted,

Heather Mendes
