Halloween PartyReviewed on October 27, 2024From Chicago, IL

Look no further! Ryan is an amazing performer and singer. He knows how to read the room, has a HUGE range of music and an incredible voice. He’s a true PROFESSIONAL capable of working small parties up to large events! He was on-time, had clear communication, set up early to check sound, brought quality equipment with him etc. Highly recommended!

Ryan Argast:

Wow you're amazing thank you so much!!!

Private PartyReviewed on September 9, 2024From Hinsdale, IL

Ryan is an exceptionally good entertainer. He played for 4 hours for 130 guests of mine. Everyone loved him and truly enjoyed his music. Ryan was super easy to work with -- very professional, engaging, thoughtful and service oriented. Would strongly recommend him for any event. I will be hiring him again! Great guy!
