"Hiring Wood and Strings for the 'Giving Marketplace' annual event at the Discovery Center for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was the best decision. They not only created a wonderful soundtrack for the event, they lifted people's spirits and engaged beautifully with guests. It was an added bonus that their high level of professionalism made them a joy to work with. We are still getting feedback about how much vendors and visitors alike enjoyed listening to them."
