Best Musician Independence Near Me

Justice Bernal: Excellent selection of quality vintage gear, with a good support for local builders in the music community, you'll find more in store than online, so definitely check 'em out! :⁠-⁠)

Jeff Cordray: As a guitar player, I love this store! Everyone there has been very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. As a customer, I have both bought and sold a guitar there and I am more than satisfied with the business we have conducted. They have an excellent selection of guitars, at virtually every price point you could want, from beginner to pro to serious collector. Plenty of amps to choose from as well, although I'm not as familiar with them. As an alternative to the more generic, big box stores, this place can't be beat, imo.If you're looking for a more personal touch, along with with an outstanding selection of guitars and amps that are not your standard fare, this is the store for you. Not to even mention the style and ambiance of the place! It has a very distinct resonance that any musician will instantly love.

Cody Chance: DJ Mic is the BEST! If you're needing a DJ for your wedding, pick him! He goes above and beyond for his clients -- He mixed us a song for our choregraphed first dance, his communication with us throughout the planning process was excellent, and he is a fun, creative personality. DJ Mic encouraged us to do a private last dance as a couple, which was really special, and then he organized a surprise exit with our friends and family. We will cherish those memories forever. Thank you so much DJ MIC!!!

Bethanie Taylor: Have been up to KC twice to see DJ Mic since we moved from KC. We had been hanging out at some Independence bar before we moved and he was epic!Both trips up to visit family, we went to The Brix, such a wonderful atmosphere! I like people watching, I saw new crowds come in and heard the music SMOOTHLY transition to match the group vibe and yet EVERYONE was into it! Not a dull moment! He had this awesome introduction for EVERY karaoke singer, really got them pumped before they sang. He knows how to make people comfortable before a set! I live about 3 hours away, but I will continue going to Brix or WHEREVER DJ Mic is playing, karaoke or not.Being out at one of his shows is a great experience and everyone should go AT LEAST twice!Thanks DJ Mic for rounding off my trips to KC!

Highly recommend him to anyone needing a DJ for any event. Did a fantastic job.

Kelsey Lowry: Michael did such a great job. We would recommend him to anyone. We did an interview with him and we knew after that he was going to be our DJ. He did the sound and audio for the ceremony and our reception. We are glad we hired him for both. This way we didn't have to worry about anything going wrong during our ceremony. He had everything perfectly timed out for the ceremony and reception. He had a form that we filled out that had how the wedding party was walking in down the aisle to every last song/artist we did or didn't want played. He helped us place the order of the typical activities in a reception like the first dance all the way to the exit. He knows when to have the highs and lows in a wedding reception. Even to the day we get compliments about how amazing our ceremony was and how fun our reception was. Michael really knows what he's doing and you can tell he really loves it too.Mike & Kelsey Lowry

Katie Carder: We hired DJ Mic for our wedding and we are so glad we did! Mike was responsive when we reached out. I really liked how his price packages were listed online. I appreciate that in a vendor. During our initial phone call, he got a feel for what my fiance and I liked, what we were looking for in a DJ, etc. We knew by the end of the phone call that DJ Mic would make our reception a great party. We specifically wanted karaoke at our reception and Mike said awesome, let's do it. His set-up was perfect! He gave use the perfect mix of dancing and karaoke time... all our guests loved it!DJ Mic was also SUPER helpful with setting things up before the wedding! I had specific music I wanted played for the processional and he was ready with it all. He got to the venue way in advance and knew exactly what to do and where to go... he didn't ask me anything ahead of the ceremony, which as the bride, I appreciated so much! Mike knows how to do his job and he can do it well.Two days before our wedding, we decided we wanted to live stream it for family that couldn't be there. I wasn't sure how to do it so that it would be relatively decent quality. DJ Mic was there right away and offered to set up a stream for us. He and my videographer even worked together to make sure the sound for the stream was working. They did a great job! So thankful for the DJ Mic's professionalism and ingenuity.If you're looking for a DJ who enjoys what he does and is really good at what he does, hire DJ Mic. All my guests loved him and all the other vendors at the wedding loved him too. He will make sure your reception is special and memorable!

The latest rendition - Company was 2.5 hours of fun-loving, spontaneous laughter, live entertainment with a pianist that absolutely carry's the show from its highs to its lows. Feeling Alive is how you feel when you get the chance to experience the wonderful talent and music at MTH.

Eddie Canis: They expanded and have two theater. Covid 19 with mask and card required. A must because of how small the playhouse is. There not a bad seat in the house. The actor are top notch and it fun watching how the handle the small stage

Dick Williams: Have enjoyed many shows at MTH in Crown Center. The theater is small so every seat is a good seat and performers and audience connect easily. Free parking i the garage adjacent.

Dan Grelinger: Doing the best they can in the tail end of the pandemic.

Kendra Young: The Summer Breeze Concert was amazing!

Laura Engel: Saw Quixotic here show was fabulous! Broken seat not fabulous!! Do not wish to return to this venue. Broken seat for $75 ticket is not acceptable.

Aaron Fee: Staff was very helpful in finding what we needed, great service

Ken Eberhart: Guitar Center is a handy place to sell vintage drums. I'm a vintage drum broker & I've been paid decent prices for every item I've presented for a "Street Buy". I do get weary of being "schooled" about vintage drums by the 20 somethings behind the counter who seem oblivious to the possibility that I was playing drums from the era I'm selling, before they were even born. I also hold a Master of Music degree in percussion performance from a well known Conservatory of Music. It's always fun to have someone half my age asking me "Are ya SURE that's a 14 inch drum, cuz looks to me like it might be a 13? Let's measure it with a tape. Uh......... wow. I guess it IS a 14 like you said. Anyway, how's 80 bucks sound?"Sounds great kid (I paid $30 for it at a garage sale, then I wiped it down with Windex).

R. Darren Walker: Very friendly people there

Tim Falter: Sarah was an amazing wealth of knowledge great customer service.

neil hunt: I left my pro custom ear plugs there on tour. Your sales manager sent them back to me and saved me big time as they are so expensive! So I’m giving a 5 star review to the store and a 10 star to him cause that shows they care about musicians. Those things are my life line. Thanks so much again!

Ben Tribble: Great service very welcoming and a great selection.

Mike Peace: Good selection. A few 'Scratch and Dents' that were really more 'Totally Destroyed' haha but hey.
