Janice Griffin (pictured left)  has received awards in production, performance and writing. (Janice plays several roles in her productions...but of course, that information is a secret!) Janice was a Registered Nurse and has a degree in creative arts. " For as long as she can remember, she has been on stage! She strives to meet her client’s heartfelt needs to create an ‘unforgettable memory’ for their loved ones.  As a nurse humorist, it was her  job to create warmth and laughter!" 

She brings affordable family entertainment for children as well as adults through children’s birthday parties, singing telegrams, variety entertainment, and vocal and instrumental ensembles. Events such as the Musical Interactive Mystery Theater called "The Case of the Floating Diamonds" or the "Interactive Wedding Show" (your choice) are targeted for a "relational entertainment experience".

Tim Culbertson is a seasoned veteran in the entertainment business. For years Tim was the producer that record labels would turn to for help with acts that needed that special something.

Holding Master's degrees in music composition/arranging and administration, he knows how to make the client feel safe and special. The reason we go to Tim is for his voice.

A rich combination of soulful expression and trained quality make him the perfect choice for that very special occasion.

Having an outdoor wedding? Tim will sing with his guitar and take your ceremony to a higher level. Maybe a chapel service is what you desire? Tim can work with the accompanist to bring just the perfect song to your special day.

Whatever the occasion, saying goodbye to someone special or beginning a new life together, you will be so happy that Tim was there.
