Joe and Sandy were consummate professionals from the very beginning who made the process as seamless as possible. They reached out well in advance of the event to make sure preparations were handled properly, they showed up early and were all set up in time for our guests' arrival.  Their performance was very well-received and enjoyed by all in attendance. The band played a wide range of lively material and I received many favorable compliments throughout the course of the evening. I would not hesitate to use Riptide again in the future and I would highly recommend Riptide for any occasion that would be enhanced by live music."   Mike Keenan CEO of Goodwill East Bay "We hosted Joe Brennan in February and they were awesome! Everyone loved the music and it created a great vibe. We got nothing but positive feedback from our customers and are looking forward to their next gig at Riggers!" -Barbara Brown Vice President Riggers Loft and R&B Cellars
