Vickie Andreassi — Director of Events, Alpha Omega Winery, Napa Valley
Jeffrey plays as a solo act or as a duo and both options are so enjoyable. We have contracted them many times over several years for Wine Club Events as well as Private Events and Charity Events. Always a crowd pleaser and he has become a favorite for our regular guests. He does book up in advance, so please check his availability early.
Reply from SmorgyMusic — Thank you so very much, Vickie. Not only does Alpha Omega have an amazing staff, owner, and wines, but the winery and grounds are absolutely beautiful, and I am always honored to be part of the events.

Steve Ebol — General Manager, Levendi Winery, Napa Valley
Well I must say it was our first visit by Smorgy to perform at our Levendi Winery Tasting Room in Downtown Napa and it certainly won’t be the last! His playlist was wonderful and very entertaining! We went from a single table of four when he began his performance and in less than an hour in, we were packed. He certainly played to the crowd and as the General Manager, I look forward to his next gig. Cheers! 1465 First Street in downtown Napa 94559
Reply from SmorgyMusic — Thank you, Steve. It was a most enjoyable evening of great wines, fun people, and live SmorgyMusic! I look forward to our next event!

Paula and Patrick Moore — San Mateo, California
Smorgy played at my 25th wedding anniversary party. Worked with me to set the playlist and arrived on location on time. The guests loved the music selection and we even got encore extras and requested music. Will definitely use Smorgy for another party!
Reply from SmorgyMusic — Paula and Patrick, what an honor it was performing for you and your guests for your 25th anniversary. I look forward to the next celebration we can share together!

Marie Carminito Roark — San Diego, California
Smorgy, aka Jeffrey, has entertained at my private events for many years. He is talented, professional, reliable, easy to work with, AND just a really great person. He really deserves 10 stars. Get on his schedule quickly; otherwise, this gem of an entertainer will easily be booked.
Reply from SmorgyMusic — Marie, your events are amazing and I love being in San Diego for them. Thank you so much for bringing me back each year and I look forward to the next 4th of July celebration!

Thomas Bougetz — Winemaker/Owner, Bougetz Cellars, Napa Valley
Smorgy has played at our wine club events, as well as other events a handful of times over the past years. Jeffrey is a great musician, playing a great selection of songs, and integrates in well with what is around him. He is very easy to work with, reliable, on time, and gives the guests a fantastic show. We will continue to try and book him for our private events, if he has openings. Get him in your schedule if you can.
Reply from SmorgyMusic — Thank you, Tom. I always have a wonderful time at Bougetz Cellars events, and your team and members are always so kind and enjoyable. Your wines are amazing!
