My wife Jennifer and I could not have been more happy with Mark. When we arived at our venue on 10-10-10 we could hear Mark playing and our guest having a great time. . The feed back from my guest over the past couple weeks have been wonderful concerning Mark. Extremely professional pleasure to work with, he fit right in and interacted with our families creating a very relaxed fun afternoon for all, we highly recommend him for any occasion you might have.

We had a great party despite the storm. Everyone enjoyed Mark's music, it created a lively and fun atmosphere. We enjoyed it so much we extended his time until our guests left. We would definitely recommend Mark to others and hire him again.
Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 28, 2008•From Clarkston, MI
We spent hours upon hours of preparation for our daughters high school graduation...and the one thing I spent the least time on was the biggest hit. Professional, live, well performed music is the way to go. People stayed longer, even people who has to be at another party came right back. Mark was fantastic! He does more than just sings...he entertains. He reads people and crowds well and keeps everything upbeat and lively. I would recommend Mark to anyone, to have every-time. This is his third party for us and our friends and family love him. Thank you Gringo. The Smithtroop.

It was such a pleasure meeting Mark. He arrived and began his performance on time. He was very personable and made a beautiful day for a party, a great success. Many quests, along with our family really enjoyed his singing, and it made the event relaxing and memorable. He welcomed the guests and introduced our son's "speech" to our guests. We would highly recommend him and if we were to have a similiar event in the near future, we wouldn't hesitate to contact Mark Martin again! We really did have a good time!

Mark was like part of my extended family and group of friends at my 50th Birthday Party. He immediately created a great repore with everyone, fielded requests, and even allowed some friends some time on the microphone. It was a great night, made perfect with Mark's great voice, beautiful sound system, and great acoustic guitar sound, etc. I had a backyard party and the neighborhood was coming by to hear the music and enjoy. Thanks you,Mark!!!!!

Our party was a great success! Gringo duJour was the centerpiece, but never overpowering. He was accomodating in every respect, from thoughtful & timely setup to our evening conclusion. Gringo has a vast repertoire of songs, which he plays with his own style & remarkable purity and facility. The gen-x crowd liked his stuff and the baby boomers loved it! We had ages ranging from 12 to 80. The mix was perfect. He picks songs very well to entertain and never be edgy. This is the fifth time we've heard Gringo play, but our first time to hire him for a private party. A great result. By the day's end we had a dozen people asking about Gringo and his services. I suggest the name "Gringo duJour, OMJ", for one-man jukebox! Truly amazing. Got a request? He probably knows it. Terrific. We'll hire him again. Many thanks, Gigmasters! John Oberer, Troy, MI

Gringo Dujour was fantastic! Much to our surprise he accomodated our special song request and made a great evening even better. Can wait to have him play again. Very professional, and of course, talented. Thanks again.

Gringo DuJour was excellent! He plays just about any song you can think of from the 60's thru current day. He's basically reminiscent of James Taylor and other singers of that genre. I wouldn't hesitate to book him again! His original music is excellent, too!
He arrived on time, and played with minimal breaks. He fit right in to our casual family and friends atmosphere.
Wedding•Reviewed on August 19, 2006•From Saline, MI
Mark played the ceremnoy and cocktail hour of our wedding. As my husband and I were walking from pictures to the reception house, we heard our guests break out into loud applause and laughter. We smiled at eachother, knowing that while we were away doing photos, Mark was keeping our guests entertained. What a huge relief for a couple on their wedding day!
During the reception, one of our guests pulled us aside to tell us how great Mark was. They had asked for a song from a movie-- they couldn't remember the song title or artist, but they gave Mark the name of the movie and a line from that scene. Mark was able to recognize the request, played the song AND threw in the quote. That was the reason for the applause!

Mark made our 25th Anniversary party a memorable one. Everyone at the party enjoyed listening to him sing. If you are looking for a person to create and great atmosphere at your party, then you need to have Mark Martin play at your event. Thanks again Mark, you were great! Gregg and Kathy Smith

Gringo Dujour was a complete professional. He arrived on time. Set up his equipment in minutes, and began playing right away. He quickly developed a connection with his audience, and all enjoyed themselves immensely. I would recommend Gringo Dujour to friends, family, and anyone looking for a talented singer / guitar player / and songwriter. If you should hire him in the future, request that he play some of his original music. It is quite good.
Thanks Gigmasters.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 7, 2006•From Hudsonville, MI
Mark from the very beginning was very professional and put us at ease. Throughout our planning he was quick to respond to our inquiries and very helpful. On the day of our wedding he arrived on time and did a tremendous job emceeing our event, working with out other musicians, and keeping our reception flowing. When it was finally time for him to start playing he blew our reception away with his abilities, the variety of songs he played, and his energy. Mark proved to be exactly what we had hoped for and would definitly hire him again if the occasion presents itself.
