To Whom It May Concern, Each year our department hosts an annual "Family Night", serving dinner and providing entertainment for many families in our community. This year we were fortunate enough to come upon the many superb talents of Joel Brantley. This year we decided on the theme of a "Western-Hoe-Down" and provided nearly 150 adults and children with a dinner from the "chuck wagon" and some good ol' country singing. Everyone loved Joel's performance. Not only did he deliver popular country songs of today, but brought back many cherished songs of yesterday. His voice is truly a gift and his character presence on stage was fabulous. But what was especially wonderful, was that Joel did not just stand on stage and sing to our audience, he included everyone in the show. It was magical to see the excitement in the faces of the children who were given the opportunity to come up on stage with Joel to sing or play the inflatable guitars, shake the tamborine and dance. Not only did the children get to participate, bu the parents as well were brought up to sing a chorus or two with Joel, to the true delight of all the children. Mr. Brantley delivered a wonderful family show and was most definitely an asset to our Family Night. I would highly recommend him to other organizations looking for something fresh, innovative, and exciting. We were thrilled with his performance for the residents of our community and look forward to working with him again in the near future. Sincerely, Laurie M.
